Which theme do you use ? Seems you renamed yours to Test, and i was unable to find it somewhere.
Also, do you use a cache plugin ? If it’s the case, disable it or clear it while testing CSS.

I cannot put it in maintenance mode

This is not necessary if you had a local copy. I strongly recommend you do that if you want to manage correctly a high traffic site.

You can use a child-theme for your theme, not for BP which has no theme since 1.9. The one called bp-default is no more maintained and is only in for temporary backward compatibility for (very) old BP site.

BP use templates, which are stored in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/. Those templates are tailored to fit with almost any recent (and decently coded) themes.

Creating a child theme is explained on hundreds of sites and on WP’s codex. Additionnal infos for BP are given here.

Your theme might be Customizing BuddyPress Avatars?

Hi @djsteveb,
I don’t have that tab under menus on my other bp install Really ? Have you activated buddypress in screen options ? Just in case of… 😉

BuddyPress Links in WordPress Menus

@dayan89 – with one of my bp installs I can go to appearance -> menus.. select main-menu (or topmenu, or whatever you called the one you want on top) – click select.. then on the left side I had a tab for buddypress.. with cool links for dynamic links like “my profile” – login.. etc..

click to add to your menu, save..
easy now these days..

for some reason I don’t have that tab under menus on my other bp install – so your setup may vary.

You want to remove navigation from all profile pages?
Create a template overload of this file:
bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\home.php

And remove this div: <div id="item-nav">

h1.main-title, h1.page-title doesn’t exist. Why don’t you try the example at first ?

Also, don’t apply template models to BP pages. These are only placeholders used internally, not ordinary WP pages.

Follow some guidelines on Codex before getting in more trouble.

Answer from atfpodcast is here.

@kookidooki
where had you downloaded the plugin Skype for Buddypress?

@vinzen, wait a little or accept yes and no ;-). PHP 7.0.0 RC 1 is out since 2015/08/21…. RC version should not be used on production sites.

WordPress and BP are both guaranted to work only on the latest stable release of anything needed to get them to work. But you can test at your own risk, RC’s and trunk version are avaible for that.

php7 has a projected release date of November 2015. Next WP release is scheduled in december 2015. And BP around october…

WP devs are already using php7 for unit test. More from here (WP) and here (BP).

Idea Stream use the new post type activity introduced in BP 2.2

Post Types Activities

Take a look at this code, I think it may be helpful for you…

I created a function vp_add_group_activity_comments() that hooks to the ‘post_comment’ action, so when a user posts a comment an activity stream item is created and added to their group’s feed.. (on my site users can only be in one group at a time)

It’s all about what you set for the $args array….

function vp_add_group_activity_comments($comment_id){

$comment = get_comment( $comment_id );
GLOBAL $wpdb;
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$user_info = get_userdata( $user_id );

$current_user_group_id = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT group_id FROM ".$wpdb->prefix."bp_groups_members WHERE user_id = '".(int)$user_id."'");

$comment_action = "<a href='".site_url()."/members/".$user_info->user_login."'>".$user_info->first_name." ".$user_info->last_name."</a> posted a comment on <a href='".get_permalink($comment->comment_post_ID )."'>".get_the_title($comment->comment_post_ID)."</a>";

// arguments to pass to the bp_activity_add() function
$args = array(
'action'            => $comment_action,                     // The activity action - e.g. "Jon Doe posted an update"
'content'           => $comment->comment_content,                     // Optional: The content of the activity item e.g. "BuddyPress is awesome guys!"
'component'         => 'groups',                  // The name/ID of the component e.g. groups, profile, mycomponent
'type'              => 'activity_update',                  // The activity type e.g. activity_update, profile_updated
'primary_link'      => get_permalink($comment->comment_post_ID ),                     // Optional: The primary URL for this item in RSS feeds (defaults to activity permalink)
'user_id'           => $user_id,  // Optional: The user to record the activity for, can be false if this activity is not for a user.
'item_id'           => $current_user_group_id,                  // Optional: The ID of the specific item being recorded, e.g. a blog_id
'secondary_item_id' => $comment->comment_ID,                  // Optional: A second ID used to further filter e.g. a comment_id
'recorded_time'     => bp_core_current_time(), // The GMT time that this activity was recorded
'hide_sitewide'     => 0,                  // Should this be hidden on the sitewide activity stream?
'is_spam'           => 0,                  // Is this activity item to be marked as spam?
);

$add_activity = bp_activity_add($args);

// Update the group's last activity
groups_update_last_activity( $current_user_group_id );

return true;
}  
add_action('comment_post', 'vp_add_group_activity_comments' );

Take a look at the code below to see how I use the post_comment action to hook my function vp_add_group_activity_comments(), which creates an activity stream item when a user posts a comment and adds it to their group’s activity stream… This is just what we are doing for our site, but if you look at the code you should be able to figure out how to do it for your site….

function vp_add_group_activity_comments($comment_id){

$comment = get_comment( $comment_id );
GLOBAL $wpdb;
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$user_info = get_userdata( $user_id );

$current_user_group_id = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT group_id FROM ".$wpdb->prefix."bp_groups_members WHERE user_id = '".(int)$user_id."'");

$comment_action = "<a href='".site_url()."/members/".$user_info->user_login."'>".$user_info->first_name." ".$user_info->last_name."</a> posted a comment on <a href='".get_permalink($comment->comment_post_ID )."'>".get_the_title($comment->comment_post_ID)."</a>";

// arguments to pass to the bp_activity_add() function
$args = array(
'action'            => $comment_action,                     // The activity action - e.g. "Jon Doe posted an update"
'content'           => $comment->comment_content,                     // Optional: The content of the activity item e.g. "BuddyPress is awesome guys!"
'component'         => 'groups',                  // The name/ID of the component e.g. groups, profile, mycomponent
'type'              => 'activity_update',                  // The activity type e.g. activity_update, profile_updated
'primary_link'      => get_permalink($comment->comment_post_ID ),                     // Optional: The primary URL for this item in RSS feeds (defaults to activity permalink)
'user_id'           => $user_id,  // Optional: The user to record the activity for, can be false if this activity is not for a user.
'item_id'           => $current_user_group_id,                  // Optional: The ID of the specific item being recorded, e.g. a blog_id
'secondary_item_id' => $comment->comment_ID,                  // Optional: A second ID used to further filter e.g. a comment_id
'recorded_time'     => bp_core_current_time(), // The GMT time that this activity was recorded
'hide_sitewide'     => 0,                  // Should this be hidden on the sitewide activity stream?
'is_spam'           => 0,                  // Is this activity item to be marked as spam?
);

$add_activity = bp_activity_add($args);

// Update the group's last activity
groups_update_last_activity( $current_user_group_id );

return true;
}  
add_action('comment_post', 'vp_add_group_activity_comments' );

bp-custom.php
or child theme’s functions.php

You will need to go through all of the BuddyPress communication channels available:

1. Private messaging
2. Public messaging

etc

Then when a user attempts to send a message to a user they have not been assigned to, disallow it to happen via one of the hooks BuddyPress makes available.

With reference to assigning a user to a user, this could be achieved via user meta.

Hi @muskokee,
BP nav menu code is in bp-core-template.php:3050 to EOF.

To change the position of an item on profiles page, use this from within bp-custom.php
Position is defined by the numeric value:

function bpfr_profile_menu_tab_pos(){
global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav['activity']['position'] = 30;
$bp->bp_nav['forums']['position'] = 50;
$bp->bp_nav['profile']['position'] = 25;
$bp->bp_nav['messages']['position'] = 10;
$bp->bp_nav['notifications']['position'] = 40;
$bp->bp_nav['friends']['position'] = 20;
$bp->bp_nav['groups']['position'] = 60;
}
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_profile_menu_tab_pos', 100);

You can also add some condition on the template. Ie

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) :
   your custom menu stuff
else
   something for non logged user
endif;
