The problem seems to be that user_nicenames aren’t getting transfered over properly. Are you running any other plugins? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/

Everything you ever wanted to know about page templates can be found here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Templates
@fortinmichel – The patch allows you to override the auto-generated excerpt. You still need to actually write the code to override it.
I already answered this question. Answer is available on the first page:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/replace-activity-stream-blog-excerpt-with-the_excerpt/#post-67290
It’s basically a page template using a forum topics loop.
Get acquainted with the forum topics loop!
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-forum-topics-loop/
Not sure if the “forum_id” can be comma-delimited. If so, you could specify specific groups to pull forum topics from.

You could also possibly use the activity stream loop to gather topics of groups you’ve joined as well:

Hmm. I’ve got the latest BP version, which has the https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2481 patch added, obviously. But I still don’t get my excerpts to show up — it still uses the fake excerpt created by BP rather than the post’s the_excerpt. Is there another bug?

There’s BP Gallery by Bradesh (http://buddydev.com/), which is ready to be used on a production site, but has a price tag. And then there’s BP Album + by foxly and francescolaffi (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/), which isn’t quite ready for a production site, but is free and shows a lot of promise.
@davewoodbridge – I’m having them same problem – well except that I just get a white screen after signup rather than 404. The registration goes through alright but the user is not added to my mailchimp list.
I’m thinking it must not be compatible with BP 1.2.6. Does anyone have any ideas. @Travel-Junkie – any chance of looking into the problem?
Its a really cool plugin but the main reason I want it is to integrate the signup with Mailchimp.
Thanks,
Andrew.
I’m in the same boat, experienced in WordPress and building my first BuddyPress site. I can’t speak to all the specifics of the photo gallery but overall I’d say yes, a site like that is possible. I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a good photo gallery BP plugin out there.
BuddyPress functions should be pretty intuitive if you know WordPress, although BuddyPress is not as well documented. So it helps if you know enough PHP to understand how a function works just by reading the code.
Good luck!
I tried the following now: I deactivated all Plugins, also Buddypress. Then I tried to upload an image to the Mediathek in the Adminarea of WordPress, but I get the same error, that I get in Buddypress with Avatars. So I think this is not a Buddypress Issue, but I do not understand where this issue came from and how to fix this? Do you have one more idea?
Hi all,
I’m new to Buddypress but pretty seasoned with WordPress.
I have been asked by a client to produce a kind of photographer’s social network site, similar to `www.modelmayhem.com` and `www.purestorm.com` and I wondered if Buddypress was a possible solution?
I have zero experience with Drupal or Joomla so, if possible, I would love to be able to stick with WordPress on this.
The site would need to have the following features;
Private messaging,
Photo uploads,
Photo gallery creation
Photo / photo gallery commenting,
Facebook style ‘Friends’
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
@r-a-y @hnla @boonebgorges ???
or how can I show topics of special groups in a tab ?
@roberte you’re welcome. good luck
@zenzard yup, clear as mud. Never used Page Theme plugin. You might want to contact Page Theme plugin author to get it to work with two BP compatible themes. On the other hand, it looks to me that it’ll be much easier and more future-proof to create Page Template/s instead.
@johnwinch42 No, it is not easily modifiable if you’ve not written a plugin, but if you have PHP experience, give it a shot. And for pure CSS manipulation via body class filters, you as Super Admin would have to add individual member CSS in style.css – that’ll be a lot.
Hi guys,
A function in bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php is producing output for the Groups > Send Invites section that I wish to modify. I’m trying as much as possible to stay away from modifying the contents of the Buddypress folder and just stick to doing everything from my child theme, and I’ve tried to remove the action, creating a new action – to no avail. The output ends up being duplicated as Buddypress is recognizing both functions attached to the particular action. Can any of you suggest the best way to override functions from ajax.php? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Cheers
Thanks @mercime, is it easily modifiable for someone who never wrote a plug-in ?
With some modification the user will have the possibility to personalize their member page ?
@Bowromir, Thanks!
1.5.2 comes now with a jQuery slideshow for the front page and your pages.
A post template to list the latest posts from a category.
You can add CSS into a separate area, to keep CSS changes update save.
And much more…

@modemlooper What plugins are you talking about ?
Thanks for the feedback. I didn’t found an existing ticket, so I’ve created #2703 (https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2703).
@boonebgorges – given the bug fix / re-engineering is scheduled for 1.3, I’m guessing the best short term workaround is to hard code our own bespoke user nav
@mrmzworld I would suggest that you backup database and upgrade to WP 3.0.1.
To create a group, go to yoursite.com/groups and you’ll see a create a group button.
I hope I explain this right. The active theme on my site is Detox, which is bp enabled. However, I am using the Page Theme plugin so I can use different themes on different pages. The theme I want to use on two different pages is the Ecolines free theme (https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/eco). So it’s that theme where I want the bar to show up. (live link: http://herppeople.com/herpauctions/).
I have installed the plugin using the corrected file above, and this is the error I get….
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_dtheme_post_update() (previously declared in /home/***MY SITE****/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php:113) in /home/*****MY SITE****/public_html/wp-content/themes/Detox/_inc/ajax.php on line 92
So I think the fact that my primary theme, Detox, is bp enabled, is conflicting with the plugin. Clear as mud? LOL!!!!!
My situation is that I even could not use the buddypress features (like: activity, group , member, forums…) When I click these features, it automatically links me to the homepage. What may cause this bug? I already updated to the latest version of buddypress.
