In my forum’s .htaccess:
Redirect /forums/register.php http://mysite.com/wpmu/wp-signup.php
Redirect /forums/bb-reset-password.php http://mysite.com/wpmu/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
While I like the plugin, this forced registration stuff around to where I wanted it ‘seamlessly’. User was just plunked over without a choice.
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?
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.
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
I find strange things like this happen if I FTP a file directly from inside a zip file, rather than unzipping it and uploading it.
That’s exactly what I did… uploaded from a .ZIP file. I’m rather lazy that way! 
I was stressing out over this for a couple of days!
John:
I have been having the same problem since moving my bp install from id1 to id30.
I tried all the ‘suggestions’ on the forums and patched the files, but bp still seems to save all files like avatars, photo album plugin pics etc in id1 instead of id30…
Looking at the ticket, it looks like it’s assigned to 1.0.4… is this the case?
If so I am guessing that it would be best for me to wait for 1.0.4 to come out instead of trying to hack it together to fix it?
It seems really strange to me that buddypress only works on the primary blog. What I don’t understand is why this would be the case. Buddypress is so far away from what I would call ‘production’ ready status, that it makes no sense to me to run it on my primary mu blog. Isn’t buddypress in it’s current state better to keep in the background, away from others until it’s more stable?
not ranting here, luv buddypress, I just can’t use it as primary but do want it running ‘in the background’ so I can keep adding features and testing etc…
btw
(gave up on trying to update to 2.8 series.. never did stop spitting out errors, so prob just going to wait for 1.0.4 anyhow.. thanks for your time answering emails on it)

It’s a good feeling when the arm flailing and panic file replacement works out. 
Okay, let’s start with the basics. Please answer these questions.
You’ve already provided the version of WPMU and BP that you’re running, so you can skip those questions.
just noticed you commented on this thread:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/howto-disable-registration
Do I understand that it doesn’t prevent new users, it just prevents registering from the mysite/forums/registration.php process and still allows auto joining via the BP process?
Sorry, I was away camping! Yes, that’s exactly what it does.
White screen always means some error is occurring. Did you modify any WPMU or BP files? Have you created any custom files?
If so, you could have a space before or after the opening PHP tags. Or, you might have left off something as simple as a semi-colon at the end of a particular line.
There are many possibilities. If you have modified or created your own files recently, then that is where you should first look. If you have installed any new plugins or updated any older plugins (other than BP), then there could be some issue with them. Try disabling them (or moving them out of the way if necessary).
Here’s more info: https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/9045
Pardon my ignorance, but it would help test if you could provide a sample cyrillic string so we can try to recreate this bug – you probably can’t post it here on the forum without it messing up the character encoding but are you able to upload a .txt someplace?
@hempsworth – I expanded on the previous tutorials here:
http://www.dougdaulton.com/2009/06/26/complete-bbpress-integration-for-buddypress/
This was done with SVN checkouts just before the most current stable builds, so there may be conflicts, but it steps you through a things that were unclear in previous walkthroughs.
Let me know if it helps.
Doug
PS: Upon reread, I just realized that the Easy Button tut is newer and probably more accurate than mine. Will need to do an update.
This is truly a question for the WPMU forums.
But if you look at the wp-config.php file, there is a constant defined for the overall site blog:
define('BLOGID_CURRENT_SITE', '1');
You can change that to:
define('BLOGID_CURRENT_SITE', '2');
But, first make a copy of your original wp-config.php file just incase something goes wrong.
Okay I got forums up and working and again!
This was the weirdest thing… the bbPress forums – xmlrpc.php – was somehow larger in filesize than the release version.
I overwrote the /forums/xmlrpc.php from the one in the bbPress 1.0.1 package and now group forums are working again!
Jeez louise!
Bumping this thread again.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Should I just reinstall bbPress 1.01?
Yes I posted there too, I also posted on wp job forums. So let’s see what we will get. I think this is not only my problem. It is really strange that wordpress insists on having one domain per installation.
Let me share that with you, because i’m not able to re-design our dev env.
Here is what i want to have:
We have wpmu-buddypress on x.com.
Can you make the SAME website work on any subdomain of x.com? (*.x.com)
– Install a WPMU+BP
– make an x.com
– make the same website visible on any sub-domain *.x.com
– leave 2nd and further level sub-domains intact. (**.*.x.com)
thanks..
In addition to the advice above, this is also a question best suited for the WPMU forums.
Sometimes I forget about that too. What he said.

Which code snippet addresses this issue on bp 1.02 then as I am confused?
If you can post your final code Plrk I am happy to give that a try
EDIT – just tried adding Burt’s into my bp-custom.php (using 1.0.1) and got a white screen of death…
I’m not aware of any, but then I wouldn’t necessarily be – this is probably the first mention of Joomla i’ve seen on these forums
That Easy Button tutorial is great and Chris replies with great comments really quickly.
Thanks for your help – I didn’t realize extra steps were required! Got it working using the tut on ‘The Easy Button’.
