Someone please help:
This seems to be an old issue – still happening with
latest WordPress 3.0.1 and Buddypress.1.2.5.2
`define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );`
Expected : users who have uploaded a cropped photo or avatar via buddypress should be able to show the same in all posts and comments across blog posts in wordpress.
What is happening instead: gravatars are showing in blog posts eg. blog comments while the correct user uploaded avtaars are showing up in activity stream and all pages across buddypress
Relevant links BUT gives no solution in the most current scenario

http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2426 [ says fixed but it is not]
@stilalbum
I hope others continue to develop it
It is really a nice plugin
@nahummadrid Thank you, that is actually really awesome, if I can’t get @thelandman
@thelandman Is there anyway you can let me in with your code, that would be awesome, I rarely get on here, so is there anyway you can email it to me? amanson@llakids.com
Thank you,
Andrew
Hm, this plug-in is extremly buggy. Dialogs appears twice like “Show your address on a map ?” in the members profile. Map appear in the group – relaoding: map disappears.
I dont think that someone can get this plug-in working. And it seems that the developer has no further interest in his project.
It’s a great pity, because the idea of the plug-in is really nice.

Hope this helps! 
Okay, I figured out WHY this is happening, just not how to fix it.
http://www.mysite.com/members/ works as it should. The problem is when I click on a user . . .I get a url like this
“http://www.mysite.com/members/fred /” . The problem is that it’s putting a space after Fred and before the / so the resulting url is “http://www.mysite.com/members/fred%20/” which is not valid and redirects, as it should.
Everything with a members URL has that extra space. I am sure it’s a simple fix, could you please tell me where I should go to do so?
Running both the latest WP and buddypress.
Many Thanks

Hi guys
i want to create a membership subscription based site where users pay to access high definition video and down the line i will have a social network feel to it but right now i need a secure and scalable and cheap way to set up a paid membership site. there are so many other alternatives but somoene highly rated this.
What would you guys say? should i go with buddypress or try something like amember or kajabi?
thanks
I figured out my problem. You CAN NOT install WP 3.0 multi site in a sub directory. I put on the root and everything works now.
I have automatically installed BuddyPress on my blog which using the Caroline theme. I also installed the BP Compatibility plug in so I could use BP on a non-Buddypress template. The first step of transferring files worked, however I am having some trouble with the third step. Instructions for the third step are as follows:
Fixing Alignment
By default BuddyPress templates use this HTML structure:
`[HEADER]
[FOOTER]`
If BuddyPress pages are not aligned correctly then you will need to modify some of the templates to match your theme’s HTML structure. The best way to do this is to FTP to your theme’s files at:
/home3/thelesb1/public_html/thelesbianpregnancy/wp-content/themes/coraline/
Then open up the page.php file (if this does not exist use index.php). Make note of the HTML template structure of the file, specifically the
tags that surround the content and sidebar.
You will need to change the HTML structure in the BuddyPress templates that you copied into your theme to match the structure in your page.php or index.php file. The files that you need to edit are as follows (leave out any folders you have not copied over in step two):
* /activity/index.php
* /blogs/index.php
* /forums/index.php
* /groups/index.php
* /groups/create.php
* /groups/single/home.php
* /groups/single/plugins.php
* /members/index.php
* /members/single/home.php
* /members/single/plugins.php
* /registration/register.php
Once you are done matching up the HTML structure of your theme in these template files, please take another look through your site. You should find that BuddyPress pages now fit inside the content structure of your theme.
I tried re-reading these instructions several times and find myself getting more confused. Any help on the matter would be great. You can find my blog at http://www.thelesbianpregnancy.com I currently have the BuddyPress and BP Compatibility plugins active.
Thanks!

@Nirock Thanks for the advice. I think you are right on. After walking away from the code for a bit this weekend, I started to see the problem in a different light and came to the same conclusion. I’m not even sure the buddyPress software is really needed for this project. It may be overkill for my client. Hopefully at some point adding custom fields to the activity stream will become simpler for hacks like me. I really appreciate all the help I got on this.
@amanson I think its something in the roadmap for a future release. If you’re talking about activity updates take a look at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-activity-stream-ajax-notifier/ probably the closest you’ll get.
you could do something really similar to what you’re talking about with using P2 Theme. especially if you need it for tomorrow.
I have preordered, and I would love to see it work with BuddyPress Courseware, they also have archivements I think…
haha thanks @linusf that’s the biggest compliment I can get. I’m currently working very hard sorting all the little styling issues and setting up the support section+documentation. Then I need to create huge amount of Achievements for people to earn for submitting tricks, and then it’s ready for launch! I have quite a few small tricks, and hopefully others will be submitting their tricks soon.
Thanks for your interest and you can view some screenshots of the BP-Slick admin theme options here: http://bp-tricks.com/buddypress-slick-screenshots/.

Here’s an idea. When viewing a member’s page, instead of having a button that says “mention this user” — have it say instead, “post on /username/’s wall” and then have the same functionality that is applied to the @username mention, happen. Thoughts?
Two tweaks I would want to see:
1. When someone is visiting a member’s page then let’s /assume/ the visitor will want to post something that ‘mentions’ that member, and have the resulting posting form already shown!
2. If the above were implemented, then have the default text that gets placed into the resulting posting form (@username) to still be there, but even if the user deletes it, send email to the member whose page got posted on.
The member’s “Wall” feature on Facebook is definitely more user-friendly and intuitive. That way, email notifications go to the right member, without an “@name” being supplied. I don’t know what would have to happen to transition from the ‘whole-site-activity wall ONLY’ concept to having that /PLUS/ ‘members get their own wall too.’ It would be a major step forward for BP.
Sorted.
Upgraded plugin: BuddyPress Usernames only.
hello mercime, Thanks for your quick response. But that plugin wont provide moderation over group creation.
I remember there was a plugin to perform this action in old buddypress or was it core functionality. not able to find it in current Buddypress.
Please suggest if there is any other plugin or hack for this.
Regards,
Sam.
There’s a known issue where the bbPress tables don’t install as UTF8. I’m not sure if it’s a BuddyPress bug or a bbPress bug. Either way, the solution is to convert those tables’ encoding in your database. Be sure to backup first.
@jc93 Ensure that your site is using UTF-8 encoding.
When I expand the @username1 link on a user’s profile I get this:
@username1 is a unique identifier for username2 that you can type into any message on this site. username2 will be sent a notification and a link to your message any time you use it.
different user names belonging to different individuals.
WP 3.0.1 BP 1.2.5.2
Activity is turned off in bp component configuration
Plugins: Buddypress usernames only, group docs, forum extras, seo advanced.
manual patch: time synchronization for messages and sitewide activity.
Anybody else experiencing this?
@paulhastings0 Thanks for the reminder about the bp.org group forum. I’ve activated it now. As for whether to activate it on BP.org – no, this isn’t the one that I was talking about, though it would be very nice to have better (any) feed support here on this site. I need to do some load testing on the plugin before activating it here, but I’ll look into it. Good idea.
@modemlooper That is the creepiest thing I have seen in a long time
That shouldn’t be too hard. I’m more of a CSS and visual kind of guy, but I recommend checking with @dwenaus. He’s pretty good at creating plugins and I happen to know that he’s available for hire.
I hope you release your plugin to the GPL. 
I got this message when trying to upload an avatar to a newly created group:
`Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /home/buddypress/public_html/wpmu/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/group-avatars/838. Is its parent directory writable by the server?`
What am I doing wrongly? Thanks!
