you are close, I want this:
domain.com (static page)
domain.com/blog (list all my blog posts, index.php)
domain.com/home (buddypress home page, home.php)
i have everything working, except the /blog link.
with that being said, what code do I need in my index.php in order to pull the “normal home page” blogs posts? right now it looks at the WP radio button and just pulls the “static” page, which ends up being a link back to domain.com. i want domain.com/blog to list all my posts. i tried the normal: <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>, but I assume that looks at the WP static flag that I set, which will no longer pull the posts. how do I get around this?
Ya BBPress makes u mess with cookies and I didn’t like it. I have a hard time to make it work, but removing BBPress, the BuddyPress is still working fine. BBPress is only a module, and so it shouldn’t affect the whole BuddyPress.
anyone know a solution to this?
If you don’t want to believe me, that’s okay, but that doesn’t make me any less right.

bbPress .9 may integrate with BuddyPress 1.0, but it isn’t the recommended version and it will be more difficult to make them work nicely together.
I can always login as the user and edit the profile, or pretend to be the user and sign up the old-fashioned way. Anyway, the problem is solved, even if it is a bit of a workaround to get there.
Future improvement to BuddyPress would be to have this profile-editing feature available to the all-powerful admin!
Thanks!
Right now only individuals can edit their own profiles. Admin’s cannot edit others’ information through BuddyPress.
@Jeff Sayre: Whenever I start migrating normal production data from the existing RC1 blog to v1.0…
I am unable to migrate existing data towards the v1.0 standard and I’m seemingly not the only one with those problems. I’m very sure it is database related ; errors or I don’t know why … It’s currently blocking my further buddypress development since it just doesn’t work…
As soon as I import the database the members, groups and other slugs towards Buddypress social functions stop working. Please read the previous messages I’ve written for a detailed outline about which I did with the database…
Kitwit, I think you’re a little confused… It’s working exactly like it should.
The directory pages are the pages that show the A-Z options on the top. The profiles are just profiles. They reside in members/username, but viewing a profile isn’t the same as viewing a directory of many users.
When you turn on Extended Profiles, it will totally ignore any of the admin area WordPress profile fields, and wait for you to create your own profile groups and fields. Extended Profile information can then be edited through BuddyPress on the front end of your profile area, exactly like you can do here.
When you turn off Extended Profiles, BuddyPress will fall back on the WordPressMU user information found in the admin area (if you have the BuddyPress setting turned on for it to do so.)
Dantes, if you view the forum via the groups page, then yes it will show up integrated into the BuddyPress group area. Otherwise, bbPress is its own application with its own plugins and theme files. You would need to create a theme to mimic the style of the rest of your website.
Actually, I haven’t figured it out. If I want to add fields to the profile so that the person’s information (Address, City, State, ZIP, etc) isn’t displayed as a jumble of sentences, then how can I add those fields if I disable the extended profile option? Why would BuddyPress actually carry a feature that is attractive and then for any usable information to display, one would have to deactivate it? Am I missing something here?
So tell me … how do I add custom fields to the profile AND have them display on each member’s visible public profile?
Oops! I just figured it out. Thanks! (Although it’s kind of counter-intuitive, isn’t it? Shouldn’t the full profile show in BuddyPress rather than the other way around?)
SOLVED:
actually this helped :

so..
there are 2 ways to delete users in the WP-AMIN :
one is for the hole BP and one is for the particular blog…
you should go in wp-admin > admin > users
not like me – wp-admin > users > authors & users

Im still working on it but I thought it looked ready to share with everyone
Im having some problems with internet explorer not displaying some of my new menu navigation items links…
Thanks for all of your help BuddyPress!!!!!
bp-xprofile is the one. But I’ve never seen such a case that it doesn’t show up on the options page. Maybe you need to reinstall buddypress.
Since you are using the wpmu’s default profile system not the buddypress one, you need to disable extended profiles from buddypress component setup options.
The Forums link appears regardless of the forum physically existing or not. Once the BuddyPress forums plugin is turned on, it turns on all of the links also.
Regarding the steps you’ve taken, they’re all correct, so don’t second guess yourself there.
My guess is this is a PHP Memory error. Your host probably has you defaulted to 8MB, and you’re going to need much more than that allocated to run WPMU and XMLRPC.
In your .htaccess files (both WPMU and bbPress) put
php_value memory_limit 32M
You can also alternatively make a php.ini file, put that in your root directory, and inside it put
memory_limit = 32M
If it still doesn’t work, report back.
We’re using WPMU and BuddyPress (just starting with BuddyPress, haven’t really publicized it yet while we work out the kinks) for eportfolios at Macaulay Honors College of the City University of New York.
http://macaulay.cuny.edu/eportfolios
and
http://macaulay.cuny.edu/eportfolios/social .
Very exciting possibilities…
You can have WPMU, bbPress, BuddyPress, and for that matter, phpBB all in the same database.

Yes… I’ve posted this elsewhere (so please excuse me if I sound like a broken record) but it would be great if groups could share different kinds of content… photos (coming this fall?) videos, files and wiki’s (aka group-editable page/post).
Maybe once we are able to share blog posts in groups (as Andy mentions above)… wiki functionality could be wedged into groups simply by installing WordPress Wiki. Create a blog post, make it wiki-enabled and then share it with the group? Just a thought. Not sure if that would work or not.
1.) adding someone as a moderator is the same as admin pretty much
3.) BP is not currently setup to do this, one way to accomplish this though, instead of doing <?PHP if is admin?> to create groups, do <?PHP if user is level X ?> then you can manually select users and make them authors or contributors… then they would have the power to create groups. this would also give them power to create blog posts on the main blog, so you may not want them to have that power.
hopefully in the future, BP will have more control over giving users authority levels and what not…
4.) bp is not setup to do this either yet. you would need to modify the core to allow that content to be displayed to non-members
everything you want IS possible, but would require some modifications to the core of buddypress. and this is not suggested
Ilya-
I understand!
It is actually an issue with the way WordPress, or more precisely, Automattic has created the registration script. The script allows for spaces but then it can cause login problems.
Unfortunately, that issue needs to be addressed at a different level than BuddyPress. Since all of the moderators donate our time on these boards (i.e. we do not work for Automattic), we have no control over this issue.
As I said, I had the exact same issue and the only solution I had was to create a new username.
> This is not a BuddyPress issue.
Usual excuse of all programmers. It not the software problem, is a problem of the software user
Do not take offence, it is humour. But the realistic humour.
I would consider using AWPCP “another wordpress classifieds plugin”
google it, it could easily be used for your purpose
and It works well on wpmu with buddypress
