Thanks for the link to that excellent post by Otto! Very educational reading.
I’ve updated my permalink structure following Otto’s recommendations (and WP’s rules) and guess what… even though activity stream item URLs don`t appear to have changed, the new structure redirects instantly to the proper post.
Thanks again! 
Hi Paul, as far as permalinks are concerned, mine are configured to “/index.php/2010/10/24/sample-post/”
As far as I know, my server is running IIS and the wordpress and buddypress versions are 3.0.1 and 1.2.6 respectively
Thanks for the help!
Glad you resolved it on your own. Btw, forgot to add, you should also install BP Template Pack to get BP components working in your WP theme – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
We installed buddypress on our website and all the links are appearing with double slash “//”. For example: http://domain.com/members//messages instead of http://domain.com/members//messages. The double slash is appearing in all links. Is there any settings we are missing?
Great response –
I agree its up to the users to see what they are comfortable with… I’m running into the issue that the site I am developing is mainly for non-native English speakers so the subtleties of Blog Comment vs. Forum Topic, vs Status Update are maybe a little too subtle, yet I have to enable all of these in Buddypress to get all the features I need.
I wonder if Buddypress should take the plunge and REDEFINE the nature of online conversations… do away with these arbitrary titles. Maybe every post has an option: Start a conversation or Post an aside. The conversation have all the trappings of forum posts of threaded blog comments, and the asides get kicked the one-off area.
Hmmm… still working through this in my mind.
Nevermind. Boy do I feel stupid. It was right in front of my eyes. I got it.
By default, BuddyPress is activated in the primary site. If you want to acitivate BP in secondary blog /buddy/

Can’t find tags. The only thing find is a tag template, and this is what it shows, if it’s right, I still don’t know where to place buddypress:
<?php
/**
* The template for displaying Tag Archive pages.
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Twenty_Ten
* @since Twenty Ten 1.0
*/
get_header(); ?>
<?php
printf( __( ‘Tag Archives: %s’, ‘twentyten’ ), ‘‘ . single_tag_title( ”, false ) . ‘‘ );
?>
<?php
/* Run the loop for the tag archive to output the posts
* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
* called loop-tag.php and that will be used instead.
*/
get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘tag’ );
?>
Open up active theme’s style.css and add buddypress to Tags:

I can confirm that this works… I had exact same issue with timestamp OMGPIZZA patch fixed it.
I followed the instructions and don’t have a clue how to find anything. I am using the Weaver 2010 Theme. Can somebody walk me thru the process step by step?
Hi guys,
I’ve just installed Buddypress on a test site over @ http://www.ohracing.net/buddy/ – so I can get used to what it actually does before making it go live on my actual website. However I’ve noticed when I wish to edit my profile I just get redirected back to my homepage all the time.
How do I combat this problem?
Kind Regards.
Did you look in the documentation on this site before posting?
Look at BuddyPress template tags in the documentation section.
[Edit: having told you to look there, the function you actually need is missing. Try bp_is_my_profile()]
How would I go about on doing this? I’ve already searched around the BP site on how to do it and couldn’t find anything within my directories. Is this something I should be asking my own host about? Any help would be much appreciated.
Site Statistics and Scenario (just in case):
Using Zymic Hosting
– WordPress 3.0.1 installed
– PHP version 5.2.14 ( http://phpinfo.zymichost.com/ )
– MySQL version 5.0.75
Attempting BuddyPress 1.2.6 install
Result is the White Screen of Death
Please advise.
I prepared this BP Template Pack walkthrough using the free Motion Theme which may be able to help you. Depending on the HTML structure of your WordPress theme, it could take from an hour or so.
on my buddypress site the friendship request works unless 2 people request the same time. IE I have a friend who I requested and he requested me before I accepted. Now when I try and accept his friend request or him mine nothing happens.
When I hoover over the the accept button the following link shows in the status bar http://cruiseact.com/members/jason/friends
the site is cruiseact.com
also no plugins enabled.
the latest release of both wp and bb
any help would be appreciated
thanks
@tak5haka – If $profileTagClean returns an array, then you need to print out the variable as an array to debug further.
What happens when you use the following instead of echo?
`print_r($profileTagClean);`
Are permalinks configured on your WordPress? Do you know if your server is Apache, Nginx or IIS? What versions of WordPress/BuddyPress are you running?
Hi, I’m currently quite new at working buddypress and I just can’t get the ‘members’, ‘activities’ and ‘groups’ functions to work at all. All they do is return a 404 page. I have several inklings as to where the problems might be but I’ve got no idea how to even begin solving the problem. Is this a problem with my permalinks or an installation problem?
the best way to modify the header.php is to copy it into a child theme, after what you can make your modification

@gwu123 – code snippet has been revised; forgot to set priority so it runs earlier.
@r-a-y : the code you have given above works except for ajax refresh. When we go to say activity / All Members yo do not see the secondary avatar. Now when you click activity / My groups these secondary avatars becomes visible and when you go back to activity / All Members you again see these avatars. However, refresh the page and the disappear again.
Any fix for this?
oEmbed is not a video uploading plugin. It relies heavily on 3rd-party sites like YouTube, Vimeo et al.
SInce you’re using P2 to write a blog post, you should try enabling auto-embeds in WordPress:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Media_SubPanel
Make sure “Auto-embeds” is checked.
Also read the codex page for more info:
