@travel-junkie very interested! Regarding routes support; what are your thoughts about enabling GPX support (import/export). I have a ton of idea’s… 
Hello community!
I’m a newbie using Buddypress. I’m using WordPress MU, Buddypress and bbPress Integration plugin. So, I want to integrate one forum per blog created by WordPress MU.
I mean, if I create a blog in WordPress MU and apply Buddypress theme (activating blogs before in the main Buddypress installation), I want a forum inside it.
Is that possible? I can only create a principal forum in my principal blog (localhost/wordpress is the main WP installation).
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I included define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true ); to my wp-config.php file, but now the main forum is shared between every single blog in my WP MU platform. I want independent forums.
Hi,
My links bring me back to my homepage everytime.
I know there’s a lot a topics about this problem, but i can’t find any simple solution to fix it.
Is there a plugin i can install to fix it? Or to come back to a previous version of Buddypress?
Thanks
Hello,
I’am creating a social network based on BuddyPress. In this site, people will be able to create their own blogs, groups, etc. My questions is, how can I remove the “plugins.php” area on the Dashboard of everyone?
I mean, how I make to only admin manage the plugins in main dashboard?
I tried to use the adminimize plugin, but it doesn’t working.
Most my community are used to this because we are migrating to a new CMS. We have to shut down a paid CMS solution and I will ask them to re-register at the new BuddyPress one. But yes, I will try to remember to make things very clear. I hope to only let people who are logged in see the names of my community members. But I would really rather have email addresses (non visible) used for login purposes. I want real names visible to the community. Most are used to the Classmates.com model of doing things which is exactly what I hope to simulate. I have been researching this in open source communities since 2004 and amazed that nobody has come up with a CMS/plugin that meets this need. I can pretty much find a plugin for everything else under the sun.

We’re running buddypress as the engine behind our social network. Some of the users we want to reach don’t even own computers. Instead they use mobile devices exclusively. They can login to the network via a browser, but its really not that smooth and easy for them. Getting people to actually use our social network is hard enough, I don’t want to make it any harder for them.
Some sort of app that they could download to their phone is not only something we’re interested in, but something that will be critical to our survival.
S2Member is not the problem.. Unless you do not use the regular BuddyPress signup option and only allow people to signup through a S2Member registration form.
The avatar upload step should always appear. You might have a jQuery conflict but even then you should SEE the upload process, you just would not be able to crop your avatar after upload.
@modemlooper , In looking at http://www.social-nc.com I am trying to center align content in the left sidebar such that there is equal padding on the right/left of the content. I went through the style.css last night for your BP Columns theme and for the LIFE of me cannot get this to align. Can you PLEASE point me in the right direction?

@Annoyed, What theme are you using? Do you have a link I could take a look at. Often the problem is that a theme or plugin includes a different version of jquery to the that comes with WordPress. You could load jquery from google. Put this code at the top of your functions.php (in your theme folder)
`function my_init_method() {
wp_deregister_script( ‘jquery’ );
wp_register_script( ‘jquery’, ‘http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js’);
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘my_init_method’);`
Thanks @kunalb as always your awesome !
You can use xprofile fields to specify certain CSS values in the users profile. Then you can retrieve the field value in the profile and modify the profile CSS with jquery. Its a bit of a work around but it works for me. Here’s an example:
1. Create an xprofile field and name it ‘Profile Background’
2. Edit your profile in buddypress and insert ‘#000000’
3. Go to wp-content/themes/yourtheme/members/single/member-header.php
4. On the 2nd line, just after “ paste the following code:
`
$(“#wrapper”).css(“background-color”, “”);
`
This will modify the profile background color according to what ever value you put in ‘Profile Background’
This is just off the top of my head, I’ll check how I’ve done it once I’m home this evening. I will be writing a plugin for this. The only drawback is the user needs javascript enabled other wise its pointless.
Thanks ehegwer I’ll look for the Private Community plugin. Thats what I needed to know. But still need the username thing. Looks like according to you Boone I’ll need more skills than I currently have. I hope there is a volunteer out there. I won’t mind the usernames so much IF they aren’t visible to the community. My audience will be confused by usernames. Remember these are people who actually already know each other already by real live names. I’m still tinkering with BuddyPress to see if it will work for my community. If I continue to be happy with my customizations I will be interested to know what your fees would be to create such a plug-in Boone.
@johnwinch42 those are definitely cool options but no plugin has been released for those functions yet.
Check out https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/creating-a-custom-buddypress-component/ – Unfortunately the BP Skeleton Component has not been upgraded since Feb 2010 – ping! @djpaul ping! @boonebgorges
Particularily looking to allow community members other than myself the ability to attend to items flagged by the BP-Moderation plugin, and allow the awarding of badges in BP Achievements by other members. It’s a WP Network site, so the majority of users are subscribers on the main blog, then admin of their own blog. Want to allow/promote some users to Editor/Contributor level to allow them to support the moderation and awarding possible with these two plugins. If this would be better posted within the respective plugin’s forums, I don’t mind re-posting. @djpaul @francescolaffi
I’m using the latest version eventpress plugin, latest stable version of buddypress/wordpress
I just created an event on my site, and guess I expected a “register” button next to the event. Other than being invited, how do people register for events if they just happen across the event and weren’t invited?
Check out the template file `register.php`, located in `buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php`. You have a couple possible strategies:
1) Copy register.php to your child theme and add hidden inputs directly in the markup
2) Hook to one of the many do_actions littered through the code to add your fields. Eg
`function bbg_add_reg_field() {
echo ”;
}
add_action( ‘bp_before_registration_submit_buttons’, ‘bbg_add_reg_field’ );`
Then you’ll have to catch the data being sent. I recommend doing something like this
`function bbg_grab_reg_data() {
if ( isset( $_POST ) ) {
// do something with the custom data
}
}
add_action( ‘bp_complete_signup’, ‘bbg_grab_reg_data’ );`
I’m not aware of any documentation outside of the software itself. The functions that do the sync are pretty short and easy to understand. Check out `xprofile_sync_wp_profile()` and `xprofile_sync_bp_profile()` in buddypress/bp-xprofile.php to get a sense of just what’s being synced.
I’ve tried from multiple browsers to search the buddypress online docs (codex.buddypress.org) and I just keep getting a completely blank results page.
And I assume you’re using the BuddyPress Default theme?
Those control the size of the avatars (used in and for cropping, and in theory throughout the site): https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/changing-internal-configuration-settings/
When I was testing the upgrade to 1.2.6, I found that there were 2 little changes to the default theme where the avatars are displayed for the activity stream:
http://trac.buddypress.org/changeset?new=3296%40branches/1.2/bp-themes/bp-default&old=3124%40branches/1.2/bp-themes/bp-default#file11
I tried to find the tickets that corresponded to these changes, but couldn’t find them. So, I’ll ask here about these changes. Obviously, I could override them in a child theme back to the original code. Although, maybe I should change the BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH and BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT variables since inheriting them from the default theme makes my display wrong when someone is posting a comment on the activity stream. I just wondered what other impact it will have if I change these 2 variables to a different value. If there’s other impact, then I guess overwriting the default parent theme is better.
Anyone else had to deal with this in the upgrade?
Hi Paul, I am using WordPress 3.0 and BuddyPress 1.2.6
I have not changed any settings – Buddypress comes right out of the box using member’s login info in the urls.
My URL for instance is /members/admin and stays that way even though my full name is “FirstName LastName”.
I need BuddyPress to use the full name field, not the username field.
Can you help with this ?

@modemlooper, if I create a custom link item to “example.com/activity”, and then click on that link, it loads the correct page and applies the ‘current-menu-item’ class to the li element. I’m testing this on BP trunk and WP 3.0.1.
If I put a Page into my menu, it gives it the class ‘current_page_item’ as it recognises it is part of the WordPress object hierarchy.
