This hasn’t been reported by others. There have been a couple of ‘The bp themes are missing and it’s showing /themes in the bp backend instead of /bp-themes.’
Reinstall of wpmu/bp seems to solve the issue. Haven’t been able to track it down.
I just recovered from a bad spam incident on my buddypress site. A user (who looked legit) suddenly started private messaging the whole community with obviously spam material resulting in some very angry members 
I will go ahead and install Akismet and a captcha during registration H.owever, is it true that each user has to obtain their own key from wordpress.com and plug it into Akismet to get it to work? Is there an alternative that I can just activate for everyone? Or can I just provide all my members with my key to activate their akismet?
Also, what steps have other BP admin used to prevent the kind of spam that I mentioned above? I do not think Akismet & the captcha during registration would have helped in this situation.
Is there a plugin that flags users who message a lot of users in a short time? Something like that might help fight spammers.
Thanks.
I’ve closed the ticket for this, I’ve not heard of anyone with the same problem. If anyone else can confirm this problem on their setup I will take a look at it.
As far as I know, there is not a widget that does that. It’s a good idea though!
You could create your own custom widget using the Featured Groups widget as a template. You would need to add CSS to create a grid pattern that positions the avatars the way you want. Here’s a post in which I describe how to make a very rudimentary grid structure using CSS.
If you do end up making this widget, consider sharing it with the community!
Hello, I need help, I have installed wordpress mu 2.7.1, buddypress.1.0.1 and bbpress-1.0-rc-3.
I have the “Attention Site Admin: Group forums require the correct setup and configuration of a bbPress installation” stupid famous msg. I have added all the plugins, edited config files of bbpress and wordpress to match auth keys (as explained), etc. added a new user in buddypress, change to “admin” state in bbpress, etc
I dont know what more to try, I read all posts, added small pieces of code to config files, deleted cookies, etc
I am lost, I spent 8 hours trying things and nothing. Same msg. I have one database for wordpress mu and other for bbpress…
Any idea of something I could test? or maybe something fails in my server?
I have done the XML-RPC test that Burt created and server said: “Hello from bbPress!” so it works… I am so tired (

Hi, this is my WP/BB/BP integration: http://ryuuko.cl
it’s currently beta, but open. Only the blog registration is disabled because I haven’t uploaded themes :p I use a custom BP/BB theme that uses the markup of the WP theme (Thesis in this case).
We’ve been a small forum based community for almost 10 years. The next step is something more social, so BuddyPress was just what we needed.
Good spot. Please file this as a ticket on https://trac.buddypress.org/ – use the same username and password that you do here. Thanks.

Thanks Jeff Sayre. Went with your solution of course. Less intrusive – my custom code hack already created this problem.
I assume for the group and blog pictures it will be something similar…?
Well, we have insufficient information about your setup. Please answer these questions.
@Mattlay-
As he has not been active on these forums for over a month, I doubt you’ll get a reply from Terryjsmith.
But, to answer this question:
I am curious if anyone knows if bbpress and BP are working to do this somehow by default. I am sure they are working on a lot of things but like I said this seems rather important from a users perspective.
You should view theBuddyPress roadmap. You can see that for BP v1.1, better integration support is one of the goals.
Dan, read this thread for some possible insight and ideas: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3173
@juanllamosas
This thread is about Mike Pratt’s Featured Groups Widget. This allows site admins to select certain BP groups to feature. It has nothing to do with individual members.
It sounds like you are talking about my Featured Member(s) Widget. If you are, you set a featured member by their unique ID, not by their username. When editing the widget’s parameters, it states “Member ID(s)
” and “Separate member IDs by commas”.
A member ID is the unique number automatically assigned to each user by WPMU upon registration. You can find each member’s unique member ID (also called userid), by logging into WPMU and clicking on “Site Admin > Users”. Then, hover your cursor of a given member’s username and look at the link text. you’ll see this in the url “user_id=”. You can also obtain a user’s unique ID by looking at the “ID” field in the wp_users table in WPMU’s MySQL DB.
Thanks for the information guys, really appreciate it.
There’s still a little confusion in my head, lol :p.
My blog is at domain.com.
So, should I install WordPress Mu at domain.com or something like mu.domain.com, and then control the blog at domain.com from under mu.domain.com, and install buddypress under mu.domain.com?
Is this how it’s supposed to be setup?
Sunday morning bump!
Let me know if any of you need clarification with what I typed above.
Hey 21cdb,
This is actually getting beyond the scope of the original post!
I’m not sure what the $doing_admin_bar variable is; I’m assuming it’s a variable of BP’s that allows you to check if the admin bar is displayed or not.
If that is the case, you can try this:
function check_admin_bar() {
global $bp;
if($doing_admin_bar) add_action('wp_head', 'my_admin_bar_css', 1);
else remove_action('wp_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1);
}
add_action('plugins_loaded','check_admin_bar',99);
Try that out, not sure if it will work though!

Re: Admin bar logo. Simple way is to not use the apply_filter! Just directly link to your logo!
function my_adminlogo() {
echo '<a href="/"><img src="LINK TO LOGO" alt="YOUR LOGO" /></a>';
}
function my_adminbar_logo() {
//replace BP logo with your logo
remove_action( 'bp_adminbar_logo', 'bp_adminbar_logo');
add_action( 'bp_adminbar_logo', 'my_adminlogo');
}
add_action( 'bp_adminbar_logo', 'my_adminbar_logo', 1);

To do more modifications, I highly recommend reading the codex article, “Modifying the Admin Bar” that Jeff linked to:
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/
It contains mostly everything you need to know!
Hey r-a-y,
is it possible that you give me an example of this if-else statement?
I also do have another question. I would like to change the admin_bar_logo.gif. I was thinking about using the following code:
<?php
function bp_adminbar_custom_logo() {
global $bp;
echo '<a>root_domain . '"><img id="admin-bar-logo" src="' . apply_filters( 'bp_admin_bar_logo_src', bloginfo('template_url') . /images/admin_bar_logo.gif . '" alt="' . apply_filters( 'bp_admin_bar_logo_alt_text', __( 'BuddyPress', 'buddypress' ) ) . '" /></a>';
?>
However i have problems with bloginfo(‘template_url’) which isn’t working and i don’t get the mistake, if there is one?!
The approach to take in a plugin is to hook into the various WP and BP actions and then reward achievements as and when appropriate. You need to record in the database which achievements have been obtained. And write the administration and user interfaces for BuddyPress as a custom component.
I am myself working on an achievements plugin. I had hoped to release a test version today but I can’t promise that, it’s looking unlikely. But we shall see..
The trick would be to use a custom “translation” – this way when you upgrade, you won’t have to manually merge lots of files.
See Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs.
I’ve split the function as follows:
function xprofile_add_signup_fields() {
global $bp_xprofile_callback, $avatar_error, $avatar_error_msg;
/* Fetch the fields needed for the signup form */
$fields = BP_XProfile_Field::get_signup_fields();
if ( $fields ) {
?>
<div id="extra-form-fields">
<?php
for ( $i = 0; $i < count($fields); $i++ ) {
if ( $bp_xprofile_callback[$i]['field_id'] == $fields[$i]->id && isset($bp_xprofile_callback[$i]['error_msg']) ) {
$css_class = ' class="error"';
} else {
$css_class = '';
}
?>
<div class="extra-field">
<?php if ( $css_class != '' ) { echo '<div class="error">' . $bp_xprofile_callback[$i]['error_msg'] . '</div>'; } ?>
<?php echo $fields[$i]->get_edit_html($bp_xprofile_callback[$i]['value']); ?>
</div>
<?php
$field_ids .= $fields[$i]->id . ",";
}
?>
</div>
<input type="hidden" name="xprofile_ids" value="<?php echo attribute_escape( $field_ids ); ?>" />
<?php
}
}
add_action( 'signup_extra_fields', 'xprofile_add_signup_fields' );
function xprofile_avatar_field() {
global $bp_xprofile_callback, $avatar_error, $avatar_error_msg;
if ( !(int) get_site_option( 'bp-disable-avatar-uploads' ) ) {
?>
<div id="avatar-form-fields">
<h3><?php _e('Profile Picture (Avatar)', 'buddypress'); ?></h3>
<p id="avatar-help-text"><?php _e('You can upload an image from your computer to use as an avatar. This avatar will appear on your profile page.', 'buddypress'); ?></p>
<?php
if ( $avatar_error ) {
$css_class = ' error';
} else {
$css_class = '';
}
?>
<div class="avatar-field<?php echo $css_class; ?>">
<?php if ( $css_class != '' ) { echo '<div class="error">' . $avatar_error_msg . '</div>'; } ?>
<label for="file"><?php _e( 'Select a file:', 'buddypress' ) ?></label>
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="<?php echo get_site_option('fileupload_maxk') * 1024; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="slick_avatars_action" value="upload" />
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="slick_avatars" />
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" />
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
jQuery('form#setupform').attr( 'enctype', 'multipart/form-data' );
jQuery('form#setupform').attr( 'encoding', 'multipart/form-data' );
});
</script>
</div>
<?php
}
}
add_action( 'signup_avatar_field', 'xprofile_avatar_field' );
Unfortunately it doesn’t work 100%. I was able to register a test user, but first name, last name and avatar were not stored.
With the old combined function first name and last name were stored correctly, so I must have made a mistake in splitting them. Where?
Comments + suggestions appreciated!
Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated. If so, you need to distill your environment down to the lowest common denominator: Use the default BP themes that come with v1.0.1 and deactivate all other plugins.
What happens then? If you do not have any more issues, then you know it has something to do with your custom theme, one of the plugins, or some combination.
You then start going back up the ladder one step at a time. Switch the default BP themes for your custom themes. Does the problem return? It not, then is has to do with your plugins. Activate one plugin at a time until the issue returns.
Here’s a thread where Paul talks about a similar error message and plugins: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2802#post-15313
Let us know how your testing goes.
