Actually nevermind the community part, I ‘ll just structure the site like leadpress.com (not all under community)
Thank you for the help Ray and John.
I hope it was brief and descriptive: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/880 (submitting a bug ticket isn’t that hard at all 
I still don’t get why when I go to domain.tld/home the members link lights up (in the BuddyPress Home Theme). And how do I make the community WordPress Page appear instead of a page listing the folders inside the community folder (forums).
If you want all of the directories to be underneath the community page, I would do exactly the same thing you just did to make the community page, and make members/groups/blogs directory pages. I’m not sure there’s a way to contain ALL of BuddyPress within a subdirectory, considering that your users and groups and blogs are all linked off of the root of the site, and not the root of a specific blog, subdomain, or subdirectory.
So I set the Members link to
domain.tld/community/members/
But when I click it, it redirects to domain.tld/members/admin
The groups and blogs link work but don’t light which isn’t that bad.
That is what I would do.
But keep in mind, you’d also have to make the same changes to your BP member theme.
If you’re using the default BP member theme, that would be located here:
/wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/header.php
Yeah I am using the BuddyPress Home Theme, should I just change each link to /community/members, /community/blogs, etc. ?
Would that work with what I have setup (the three seperate pages)?
I’m guessing from that statement that you don’t.
You’d probably want to make some changes in your theme’s header.php.
If you’re using the BuddyPress home theme, that file can be found here:
/wp-content/themes/bphome/header.php
The part you want to look for is:
<ul id="nav">
John could probably help you better.
I looked it up in bp-core.php (is that the actual location?) and it says:
define( 'BP_MEMBERS_SLUG', 'members' );
Not sure why the Members link is lighting up… that should only light up when you go to domain.tld/members/.
I’m guessing you’re using the BuddyPress home theme.
Do you have a customized BP_MEMBERS_SLUG, per chance?
Well all the pages work, its just that how would I setup my links?
Do I just put in the hard links like domain.tld/community?
Because right now when I click Visit Site it goes to the Home page but the members link lights up.
Goto your blog settings and assign the front page to be the page you made for home, and make the index/blog page the one you made for your blog.
In your WPMU admin area, go to “Settings > Reading”.
Select “A static page”
Then for the “Front page” that you created, select “Home”.
For your “Posts page” that you created, select “Blog”.
Thank you for a quick reply.
I don’t really understand this part:
Goto your blog settings and assign the front page to be the page you made for home, and make the index/blog page the one you made for your blog.
As enthusiastic as you are about WordPress, most of us are about BuddyPress, so without speaking for anyone else, my opinion is biased towards using BuddyPress for every website. My moms knitting website will use BuddyPress. 
If you want users to be able to blog about their own stuff without moderation, then you want WordPressMU, because each user gets their own blog to talk about whatever they want; WHATEVER they want. That means even though your site is about fashion, that doesn’t stop them from talking about puppies.
If you want these users to be able to interact with each other, and have personalities, then you want BuddyPress.BP will allow your users to talk to each other privately, form groups to talk about things with each other, and comment on each others profiles.
The reasons NOT to use BuddyPress? At the moment there’s very little restrictive control over what people do. You can’t stop someone from putting profanity in their profile. You can’t block a user from messaging you or others. Also, the platform is still evolving as much as WordPress and bbPress are. That means that if you like to keep your website on the cutting edge, you’ll find it hard to install everything and leave it alone, as enhancements and improvements are coming through at least monthly, and so far upgrading isn’t a one click thing yet (almost though)
Those is my opinionses… Not sure how helpful they is, but if you like WordPress, you will probably see the potential of BuddyPress for what you want your website to be.
I’ve used this website before as an example and I hope he doesn’t mind, but check out leadpress.com as an example.
You’re not running BuddyPress in a sub directory, but actually just stopping it from taking over the root and /blog URLs, and instead using the normal WordPress way of assigning pages.
Rename home.php to community.php.
Use the Page Template method to name that page template “Community.”
In the blog admin, Make a page for your home, a page for your blog, and a page for your community, all with similar slugs.
The community page will use the “Community” page template.
Goto your blog settings and assign the front page to be the page you made for home, and make the index/blog page the one you made for your blog.
Then, you will want to install bbPress in a folder called “/community/forums/” and be sure to create a page with the slug “forums” as a sub page of “community”
That should do it?
Hello,
In Buddypress,The image uploaded for avatar are cropped and only the cropped images are used everywhere.The original image(Uploaded by user for avatar) is of no use and it simply occupies diskspace.
I would like to know how to perform a deletion process of the original image automatically after the cropping process.
is there a way to do this?
My website is to have a front, portal page showing a welcome message and some news, then have the community section in another folder. That means I want BuddyPress to be running in a seperate subdirectory (/community) with bbpress running in that community folder in another subdirect (/community/forums)
Is it possible to “install” or run BuddyPress in a subdirectory with bbpress running that folder?
If not is there another solution?
I recently upgraded to buddypress 1.0.3 (using wpmu 2.8.1) and after that facebook connect button disappeared from the /wp-login.php page.
Other than that the plugin is working well!
Take a look at https://wordpress.org/showcase/ for examples of some of the best sites built on WordPress. WordPress itself is a stable and exciting for building sites and CMSs on, and the showcase which I’ve linked you to will let you browse the highlighted best.
The ‘biggest’ BuddyPress installation – other than this site – that I am aware of, is GigaOM Pro.
I’m not going to sell the idea of using BuddyPress to you but perhaps if you make a short list of the key features and ideas that are essential, and things you would like to have, we can all comment the feasibility.
Well, if you’ve already read this https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/ and maybe this https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2283, and do not understand, unless you are prepared to further your understanding of PHP and WordPress’ API, you need to find a developer to write the code for you.
I can see that you have cross-posted this over on the WPMU forums. You have a response from andrea_r, about an hour ago (as of time of posting), which you have replied to about 40 minutes ago.
This is definitely a WPMU question as this doesn’t involve BuddyPress, so you were right posting it there, but there was no need to post it here.
I am running both the newest versions of WordPress MU with BuddyPress and would like to know if its possible to “Auto Activate” certain plugins for member blogs rather than just make them an option to be sitewide and optional for each member to activate fro their blog. I have a ping plugin I would like to be active for each members blog as a default when a new member blog is created.
Thanks in advance!
Sir
Please stop posting the same message. There is one lead developer on BuddyPress who works for Automattic, and he has a roadmap full of things to work on. The current target is BuddyPress v1.0.4 (a bugfix release) and as you can see from this thread, there are lots of known bugs to resolve to get v1.0.4 out the door, let alone implementation of any new features.
If for your website there are some priority features you require which haven’t been written yet, either learn to code/code them in yourself or hire someone to develop them for you.
Of course John is correct. I failed to notice that you were running BuddyPress hence my “This is truly a question for the WPMU forums” comment.
There is a constant set in bp-core.php (line 15) that allows you to set the blog ID on which BuddyPress will run. But as the trac ticket John referenced in his post indicates, setting it to anything other than “1” will currently cause issues.
Also, this ticket applies: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/775
Point 1 – No one has tackled this yet.
Point 3 – http://manojkumar.org/bppicture-album-plugin-for-buddypress/
As DJPaul has said, this is a 3rd party plugin, which isn’t an official BuddyPress component, but does a good job. An official BuddyPress album plugin is in the works.
