You also have to secure your bbPress install from spam signups (if you have forums installed).
Things you’d want to do is disable registrations in bbPress and redirect attempted signups to WPMU’s signup page.
jeff or anyone else,
i tried adding the tables myself and they show up and work just fine but it didn’t resolve my issue so i’m gonna assume i need to do what suggests in this thread but i want to confirm the steps and order of those steps. pls confirm these are the steps and order to remove buddypress and reinstall manually for a website that has been in production for awhile but recently upgraded to wpmu2.8.4a and bp1.0.3. i have data and members that i need to save.
1. Read the ReadMe file
2. Backup database
3. Backup themes, plugins, wp-config, .htaccess and entire site, etc…..
4. deactivate buddypress
5. delete the bp directory
6. manually delete the bp tables in the database (tables that begin with bp_)
7. manually install bp
8. do this https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/site-wide-activity-widget-not-working#post-22156
is that all?
Any help on this one… I am pretty sure, this is a WPMU related issue, but the forum-answers over there do not really work for me (as described above). Those registrations seem to go directly – or buddypress “opened” another door…
THANKS!
This is a request for help with CSS for a custom theme and not to do with the theme that comes with BP. Therefore I have renamed the topic as “CSS Errors” suggests there is an error with the BuddyPress.
Also, these forums are for BuddyPress support and not the best place to ask for CSS help but I’m sure someone will help 
U can use the wpmu fuction get_sitestats
It enabeles u to show the number of people who have joined ur community as well as the number of registered blogs.
<?php $stats = get_sitestats(); ?>
Until now there are <?=$stats["blogs"]?>
Blogs and <?=$stats["users"]?> User in our network.
I would be also interested in a plugin that shows some more statistics like number of groups, forums and topics. Amount of written words etc.
So if u know some plugin, or ur going to write something, please give me a hint.
The first thing to remember BP is a WPMU plugin. That said…
It’s a site wide plugin, so it runs on a main blog but hooks into all of the other blog. Each group you create can have or not have their own individual forums. Have a look at testbp.org or make a test installation, that’s probably the best way to find out.
And obviously you need to look on / ask at the BBPress forum for help importing information. That is not a BuddyPress subject.
You are best off looking in the WordPress plugin directory, or searching or asking on the WPMU forums. This is not a BuddyPress. question.
I remember the days of ezboard! Truly old school!
You’ll need to contact Yuku support in order to export the contents of your board.
That’s the first thing you’ll need to worry about.
Second of all, since BP forums run on bbPress, you’ll need to find some type of generic importer for bbPress. This will have to be a custom job since there isn’t a built-in import function in bbPress yet.
Not easy I’m afraid.
thanks jeff,
I’m not questioning your reply here but there was another time I had installed bp and some tables were not created. I found a thread in these forums where someone had a similar issue and posted the SQL needed to just simply create the missing tables. I am only missing wp_bp_activity_user_activity and wp_bp_activity_user_activity_cached.
So wouldn’t it be easier if you or a database/SQL person could just help me out with the code to create those two tables. I’m thinking it would save me a lot of time and problems cause that’s the only issue I’m having right now. Who knows what I could screw up deactivating and reinstalling bp manually.
Thanks buddy, let me know.

First of all, we have very little information with which to provide you assistance. What version of WPMU are you running? What version of BuddyPress?
Please reference this thread an answer the questions.
Finally, the message:
“Are you sure you want to do this?”
often indicates a nonce security failure message. It can happen if you have not updated the BP themes or are using a custom theme (i.e. any theme other than the ones that come with BuddyPress). Try switching to the default BP themes and see if the issue goes away. If it does, then you know it has something to do with the theme you’re using.
Yes, it will still be possible to do this, but it will take a little smoke and mirrors until forums aren’t only for groups in BuddyPress. Forums don’t care who made them, but BuddyPress still needs a mechanism to gather and present the information outside of a group setting.
If it doesn’t make the 1.1 release I’m hoping to find the spare time to offer a “forum directory” plugin at the 1.1 launch, probably similar to the members and groups directories.
Bpisimone, I think what you meant was discussed in another topic, I was writing about editing images from 3 different directories to adjust my design, which can become a bit annoying when upgrading.
In this topic it’s about making the forums look the same like the rest of the site, including buddybar (this one is already working on the bbpress default theme), header, navigataion and footer. Or did I get something wrong?

Hey there,
I have found sort of a solution that works for me. I needed two Plugins for bbpress:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/105
http://www.adityanaik.com/projects/plugins/bb-private-forums/
You can set which forum is visible to who. Glad I found those.
Cheers,

It must be possible somehow, b/c these forums here are integrated the same way. It is still stand-alone, but looking the same like the rest of this site. Please guys, tell us your secret. 
The equivalent to wp-config is bb-config in your bbpress/ folder. I do have a path to my wp-blog-header.php, but that was for put the buddybar on top of the forums. I also have experimented with ThemePress, a theme that’s supposed to load your header and footer, but it all looks messy and won’t show the buddybar, or the link to the forums in my nav.
Any other ideas would be welcome.
pxlgirl.
I would like to know how to solve this too! I haven’t found any plugin for bbpress yet.

@dwpers – Actually I want it the other way around. I don’t want my users blogs integrated into the bp site, but want bp integrated into my user blogs. While it sounds like a ‘trivial’ difference it is not.
I’m trying to figure out how to give each blog owner their own buddypress sub-community. With the new theme system for bp coming out, it should be much easier to integrate bp into my current website themes. Then I would like to only display members/groups/forums/etc that ‘belong’ to that particular blog.
Think of it from ‘how would wordpress.com integrate buddypress?’
If they simply just had a ‘huge’ community that everyone was a member of, kind of how ning did it on their ‘home’ site, then no one would ever really be interested. I’m more suspecting that buddypress would become a plugin that each blog would activate on their own to build their own ‘sub-community’. Though I am pretty sure that wordpress.com would follow the ning example and automatically have all members of all blogs become part of a larger community behind the scenes. Whether they know it or not.
Am I off base here?
thanks.. That’s why I am waiting for 1.1 to release before I launch my site..lets hope it releases soon..
Cheers
Amit
BP 1.0.3: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bpgroups
Future versions: forum integration method has changed totally, I’m not sure and I haven’t tested if the above is still necessary.
Alright worked perfectly well atleast the debugger did I am getting an error -32301 >> transport error – HTTP status code was not 200
I have seen this before on a different topic and someone said it was due to a server issue or hosting issue but didn’t really see any resolve. So I called my host and absolutely no idea or help was attained mostly confusion on this topic. The support just told me that everything is running smoothly and we don’t understand why your getting this error. She even made me email a screen shot. And then still didn’t understand. Any idea’s on what I should do maybe a different host for starters? Thanks for the link to the debugger and instructions r-a-y always appreciate the help.
Much like Anointed, I would like my members to have their blogs integrated into the BP site. Right now a new member blog is created using the plain default WP theme and does not keep the look and feel of the site.
On the BP website, I’ve seen screenshots where it looks like the blogs are integrated/have the same theme. Why is my install doing it differently? I want my users to create blogs, but have them actually look like they are a part of the site, not a separate entity altogether.
I posed this question in another thread I believe, but then my original handle went MIA in these forums, so I’ve had to create a new one and have since lost the thread.
For what its worth, I have been getting that error page on this site lately so maybe the two problems aren’t related.
