I would like to install buddypress onto my existing wordpress install (regular wordpress not wordpress mu).
At this time, BuddyPress only works with WPMU 2.7.1. You cannot use it with single-version WordPress.
How would I upgrade this to a wordpress mu/buddypress install?
https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=11126
will this integrate with my current wordpress theme
No. You will either need to use the standard BuddyPress themes that come with the package, or update your custom themes as detailed here: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypress/upgrading-from-rc-1/
WordPress (regular) and BuddyPress don’t work together (yet). You need to install MU first and then BP.

oh JJJ – to answer your Q, my username / login comes from wordpress.org so the integration works as far me logging in but there is clearly a problem with the way it is functioning. My inkling here is bug, perhaps an enhancement request. while is doesnt bother me per se it is a problem and requires a “fix”.
http://wspinacze.pl and http://climbers-blog.org –
– to enable registration of blogs on both domain i moved back to wp-signup.php due to redirection issues (in fact register works only on first domain – same with blogs, members. groups)
– buddypress part is only avaiable on wspinacze.pl domain – do you have any idea to show it on both domains? if yes – what about different language on each domain?
– i\’m not sure if that is really what i want to do – but does anybody have an idea how to separate buddypress part for each domain? in fact that would mean that only users are same across all domains.
– there was a problem with logging to second domain through adminbar (it always uses first domain) – my solution was to do:
remove_action( \’bp_adminbar_menus\’, \’bp_adminbar_login_menu\’, 2 );
add_action( \’bp_adminbar_menus\’, \’my_bp_adminbar_login_menu\’, 2 );
where my_… is function with proper url
I\’ve installed RC2.. and start translating it.
Few days later.. 1.0v. was available.
And.. my translation is in PO, but when I\’m trying to update the recent 1.0 POT file with it… there are just a few lines that appear 
Is there a way to keep my 2 days of translation and just enjoy BuddyPress
?
Once again – update POT with a PO file ?
PS: I’m working with “Poedit”.. where you can find an option in the menu > Catalog > Update from POT file..but you can not import just like that POs…

You’ve marked your thread as resolved. Would you please share with us what actions resolved your issue?

Oaky, I think I made a little error. Assuming that you set “WP_PLUGIN_URL” in bp-example.php (your base file which obviously has a different name), then try this:
site_url( WP_PLUGIN_URL . '/heart_bullet.png' )
This assumes that you set WP_PLUGIN_URL = ‘/bp-example/images’
Here are a few steps to maximizing your issue resolution in the minimum amount of time:
- First, please perform a thorough search on BuddyPress to see if your issue has already been resolved. If not then continue.
- Make sure that you’re posting in an active thread and that your issue is related to the OP’s issue. If you don’t know, OP stands for “original poster”, the person who started the thread.
- If your issue is not sufficiently related to the OP’s issue, then please start a new thread so as not to take focus away from the OP’s issue (otherwise known as thread jacking)
- An active thread is one that has recent activity, say within the past week or so. If the most recent post in the thread is a month or more old, then it is best to start your own thread even if your issue is identical. Why? Because with the fast-paced development cycle of BuddyPress, the codebase may have changed and the solutions presented in an older thread may be out of date.
- Do not post a related support issue in a thread that is marked as resolved. More than likely people will skip over it. Forum members who provide assistance may skip a thread marked as resolved, choosing to spend their time on issues that are still unresolved.
- When posting a support issue, please indicate the following: http://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2674
- If you have not received any input within 12-24 hours, post a kind reminder
- Do not start another thread about the same issue if your first thread has no response, or not the response you were looking for.
- If your thread is a support issue, please don’t forget to set it to resolved once it is resolved. Also, make a final post stating what finally helped you to resolve your issue.
By following these guidelines, your BuddyPress issues and questions will get answered in a timely, efficient manner. This means that you’ll have more time to create the next, best social networking site in the universe.
that didn’t seem to work.
Ah yes, it was in there before. I didn’t have my copy of v1.1 to reference. Try WP_PLUGIN_DIR instead of MUPLUGINDIR.

Hello all,
I’ve successfully installed WPMU + Buddypress + bbpress and all seems to work fine, except one thing : I (admin) can post to group forums, but if another user try to post to group forums, it’s posts are under admin’s user id. Do you know where is the configuration problem?
Thanks in advance.
Alex
I’m not using the BuddyPress login bar at the top of my site, instead I have a login panel which users can login/ signup from.
Just wondering is there any code that I can use here that allows the user to click a ‘Forgot your password?’ link if they have forgotten their password?
Jeff–
Not sure we’re talking apples to apples, but I’ve created this thread to ask how I can make my theme consistent site-wide.
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2538
I know there must be an answer to this, because the BuddyPress site we’re on is doing what I want to do!
Nothing nothing nothing!
BuddyPress is a plugin FOR WordPress MU. Your question is, what does a WP plugin need to do to work in WPMU? The biggest differences I am aware of is that WPMU plugins don’t utilise the activation/deactivation functions that WP plugins do.
I suspect if you search the WPMU site or message board, someone will have asked this question before.
I’m a newbie to BuddyPress and just learning, but I’ve managed to customize the look of the site to a degree by changing the logo and CSS.
http://buddypress.mountainprideconnections.com
But when I click any link on the page that takes me to some page other than the Home page (such as Blog, Members, Groups, Blogs) the look of the site reverts to the orange and “social network” logo that came in the original installation. See here:
http://buddypress.mountainprideconnections.com/groups
I have tried to go into the CSS folder for the bpmember under bp-themes, to change the logo file information there, and have uploaded a new logo file to the images folder in bpmember, but nothing happens. I want to make all of my site, from the pages listed above to the blogs, carry the theme I’ve created for the home page.
Is there any information on the site that explains where these image files are located? I must be changing the wrong files, because nothing is happening!
Help!
yeah, it was in v1.1 for sure. i used it for my first component. i found a reference in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-example/bp-example-cssjs.php in v1.1. I tried adding this back myself and it didn’t work.
/**
* bp_example_add_activity_bullets_css()
*
* This function will allow your component to dynamically add CSS to themes so that you can
* set the activity feed icon to use for your component.

function bp_example_add_activity_bullets_css() {
?>

The BuddyPress Codex serves as the manuscript to everything you need to know about BuddyPress. Installing, upgrading, modifying, trouble shooting, finding that particular hook, filter, or function, etc…
You can find it naturally by navigating to BuddyPress.org -> Developers -> Docs
The BuddyPress Codex is a constant work in progress. Those of you familiar with the WordPress.org Codex understand not only the value of accurate and up to date documentation, but also the magnitude of information there is to document. If you’ve never visited the WordPress.org Codex, I encourage you to do so as it contains everything you need to know about WordPress and WordPress MU.
Below you will find a few helpful and commonly referred to Codex articles that answer a few of the current typical questions. (This list is subject to change as the needs of the forum change.)

Okay, thanks for the updated information. From those error messages, it appears that PHP is having trouble saving session information. This will cause big issues. However, this is not a BuddyPress nor WordPress-specific issue. This is an issue with your web server.
I suggest that you contact your web hosting firm and ask them to help you.
Did someone establish a new thread for this topic? I want to do the same thing. Can’t understand why BuddyPress can’t make the same theme available for anyone who signs on and creates a blog … I’ve modified my BuddyPress files and logo to show the colors and style I want–very simple adjustment to the standard BuddyPress theme–and I want that theme to be the same theme that everyone else uses no matter who they are … and for all pages to show up the same way.

@Maythil Sorry, I guess the first thing I need to do is better explain this in the readme.txt!
You’ll need to chose some posts to feature in the slideshow. Each post’s edit page has a new meta window: JQuery Slideshow. You’ll need to activate the posts you want to be shown in the slideshow by:
1. Editing the post(s) you want in the slideshow
2. going to the RH side of the edit window in the JQuery Slideshow Widget box
3. choosing “show this post” from the pulldown
That will make that post available to the slideshow. The widget will attempt to grab any images that are part of the post body and show them as the big slideshow image. Alternatively, you can set a special slideshow image by uploading an image to the media library, and setting a custom field for the post called (without quotes) “jqss_image” where the value is the complete URL of the image.
The general idea is something similar to whats in the UL corner of http://abc.go.com/
