I was thinking kind of how gmail, in its early days, gave each new users 100 invites to send to people and you could only join the network through the invites.
I found this plugin for regular WP installs, Release Plus, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/register-plus/, that has a lot of the functionality I’m thinking about but doesn’t mesh with Andy’s invite system. Would be great to have something that plays nice with BuddyPress.
I’ve been looking around in the css files.
In buddypress-home > css, I found custom-sample.css. The comment in the file says to rename it as custom.css and put style changes in that file.
This way style changes will be preserved even while updating the buddypress-home theme.
This is the answer I needed and I’m posting it in case it will help someone else too. Thanks, Andy, for enabling this through your file structure.
set permissions on files in buddypress-member/css they are still returning 404s.
It’s still not working.
For example, when I go here:
http://blogpeoria.org/members/admin/
there is no style sheet.
I have looked all over the BuddyPress files for every css and js file and changed the permission to 755.
Any particular place I should be looking?

I updated to 721 this morning, hoping to get the group forums running. They appear of course, but won’t post a new topic – the generic message “There was an error posting that topic.” appears, which doesn’t help me troubleshoot. Reading through the thread here, I’m not much clearer on the solution.
WPMU, BBPress, and BuddyPress all installed and running, with integrated logins (the whole salt thing).
I’m wondering if I should have something different entered in the “Group Forum Settings.” I started with the ‘admin’ username and password, which is set to “Key Master” rights in bbPress. I then tried it with a different username set to “Administrator” rights in bbPress, but still no forum joy.
Any pointers on this? I need a pinch more black art here…
@trent: without cookie-integration it works fine: buddypress + bbpress. great! and thanks to all witch do a great jobb. new trunks come out every hour – the updatespeed is great! thanks for the great work!

So here’s the weird thing now. I tried registering on the site with different email addresses; including hotmail, gmail, yahoo, ones I host, and ones hosted at various hosting companies. None of them receive and email. If I grab the activation key from the database and manually type in the activation URL, then that user is activated and then sent the activation email, along with any followup emails.
I had two friends try it, and it worked perfectly for both of them.
I got a hosting account the other day with asmallorange just to play with buddypress, so I’m not able to check the mail logs without submitting a support ticket to their tech support, so I have no clue whether the emails in question are actually leaving the server.
Everything seems to be working great with my BuddyPress install. Except the Member Directory and Blogs Directory. When you click on one of the letters the list doesn’t load. The loading gif shows up and just keeps spinning. Any suggestions?
I posted this idea over at the mu.wordpress.org forum’s but since I would like to use it in conjunction with buddypress might as well post it over here.
Essentially I’d like a plugin/hack where each new member is given a number of invites, say 5. They can invite 5 people to join but no more. Each of the people they invite get 5 invites themselves and so on.
Anyone have any ideas on how to go about doing this? Or is there already a plugin that would work for this? Any help/ideas very much appreciated.
I have WPMU 2.7 and the latest BuddyPress from trunk.
There are a few things that don’t seem to be working right. Maybe I’m missing something simple.
-when a new user registers for just a username, they’re never sent an email… they’re just held in wp_signups
-when a new user registers for a blog&username, they’re sent an activation email, but the blog (which does work) doesn’t show up on the /blogs list nor on the /members/MEMBERNAME/blogs list after they activate. The blog does exist though if you go to blogname.site.com
I tried the SMTP plugin but that didn’t help matters at all.
The ‘news’ button only works if the home theme is running on blog id 1. Sounds like it isn’t. You have to hack some stuff to get it to work. If you are comfortable changing the code in the home theme then it’s here:
if ( $current_blog->blog_id > 1 )
return false;
lines 59/50 in themes/buddypress-home/functions.php. Comment those out and news works.
Yep, got the connection problems solved but probably won’t have time to test much today. I see what you’re saying but we’re integrating WordPress and bbPress and need the cookies to sync. If we can get everything talking properly between WPMU and bbPress it will make any problems we encounter BuddyPress specific. I’m not sure if the plugin works with WPMU, I’m assuming it does but it doesn’t specify either way.
with new version updated
i have in bbprees the forum created with the name of the groups
but still not showing any post neither in buddypress neither in bbpress
when a user is logged in buddypress it is still not logged in bbpress but it seems to have some interaction
Hi!
I’m using buddypress for cotreball.com. I’ve just created a blog, badajoz.cotreball.com and the section ‘news’ doesn’t work (and it works fine in http://www.cotreball.com).
I’m lost 
Can do anyone help me? thanks so much in advance
Well. I spend a lot of hours this weekend and i found out: trunk r664 + bbpress alpha 3 + wpmu trunk 1574 works for me an the forum works for new groups (not for the old one). If i update to the latest buddypress trunk (r682), i can´t post in to a forum – and i get no error messages. Nothing happens also with bbpress alpa 4 and the latest buddypress trunk (r682).
Here’s the solution: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/229
Looks like it is in the works…
wardeh – would it be poss to pick your brain on some questions/issues I have on my BuddyPress site plan? I am at michael@prattvoute.com. Would be a great help. Thanks
i get the same like zenseeker:
bool(false) object(IXR_Error)#4989 (2) { [“code”]=> int(-32300) [“message”]=> string(114) “transport error – could not open socket: 0 php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known” }
on the same server inside another bbpress, buddypress og wpmu installation all works fine. but in another i get this.
thanks! m
I am new to bbPress but not WP and have BuddyPress moving along nicely. If BP already has forums for each group then why do we need bbPress? Added forum functionality vis a vis a replacement of the BP forums or do both coexist side by side in BP?
It’s entirely permissions. Make sure everything in the theme and any JS/CSS in buddypress is 755.
Podéis encontrar el archivo de traducción al Castellano / Español, en http://buddypress-es.com
También he creado una comunidad Buddypress en Castellano / Español en http://buddypress-es.org.
En la comunidad, podréis ver cómo van las traducciones de Buddypress y cómo no, crear una comunidad.
Tened en cuenta que he detectado que hay muchas partes que por el archivo .po que se facilita, no se traduce todo, por dos motivos diferentes, hay fallos en la creación del archivo original facilitado (que poco a poco los voy solventando) y después, ya que no está implementado en las plantillas o en los plugins.
Lo estoy traduciendo todo, pero de momento, ya que cada dÃa o incluso horas, hay variaciones en los archivos, no las daré hasta que haya la versión definitiva.
Un saludo
Same here bebopcool, I’m running the new bbPress zip and the trunk WPMU and BuddyPress and have successfully integrated users but can’t get the cookies to work, which I assume is what’s preventing the forum from working. I too have the forum on the group page, but posting on fails.
I can login with my admin account and the new bbpress admin and post directly to the forum but it doesn’t seem to be communicating with BuddyPress.
bdpress trunk 658
wpmu trunk 1574
bbpress : alpha 3
burtadsit thanks for the info about .hataccess file in bbpress it is ok now for user profile
i gave the admin status to the buddypress forum user
and o also upgraded to bbpress alpha 3
but still not working : the forum is created but i cannot post
it seems i have a pb with cookie integration because a user logged with bdpress is not automatically logged in bbpress but i do not see where….
it tried to post with the bdpress forum user and logged manually with the same user in bbpress but it is still not working
