Yes there is. As long as you are a super admin, just visit the spam user’s profile page, and you’ll see “Admin Options” show up in the buddybar (the toolbar at the top of the page). In the drop-down you’ll see the options to delete/spam.
I think this is mainly a cookies issue – if you clear you cookies and start again you might find it all works. Or try it in another browser. The ‘bp_new_group_id’ cookie didn’t go away until I deleted it using the options in firefox. The webdev toolbar did not get rid of it.
I did some more digging on WordPress, and what I’m looking for is something like the “Comment Toolbar” plugin. It doesn’t work in buddypress though. 
That would be perfect if it did.
=== There is no Super Admin panel, not to mention no choice either in the drop down menu at the top of the buddypress toolbar, or in the wordpress dashboard called ‘options.’ ===
Super Admin and special Options panel only show up for WordPress multisite installations – so if you want those but more importantly, you want to allow your members to create blogs in your site then read this https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
=== buddypress not posting the link for the codex anywhere on this site ====
Sure there is a link. Click on “Support” tab in main navigation then click on “Documentation” link that appears in line below main navigation.
I’m running the latest version of wordpress, 3.0.3 and a brand new installation of Buddypress. There is no Super Admin panel, not to mention no choice either in the drop down menu at the top of the buddypress toolbar, or in the wordpress dashboard called ‘options.’
so… how do we allow folks to register?
Phew! I solved the problem. I first deleted the BuddyPress Default 1.1.2 theme, then deleted BuddyPress, then reinstalled BuddyPress, which gave me the new default theme, which has restored all the links and the admin toolbar.
I am one very happy and relieved man.
Thank you LPH2005 and paulhastings0 for your assistance; much obliged.
If I can just install the new buddypress theme with a functioning toolbar I’ll be ecstatic.
Thanks Paul,
I had define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2 );
but not define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );
It’s working, kind of, but now there’s another issue.
A user can now activate their account from the activation email if they use the register from the wordpress meta widget on the main site.
However, if I try to use the buddypress toolbar signup from the main site, it just sits at the main site homepage. Previously that would take you to http://community.howtomakeadesignerhandbag.com/register/
I think I’d like to not use the wp-register at all and somehow get the bp signup/login in the sidebar of http://community.howtomakeadesignerhandbag.com/register/
showing on the main site homepage and allow users to signup either from the toolbar or from the sidebar. But I want them to be returned to the main site homepage instead of the buddypress homepage.
Is this possible?
Thanks for your help and patience in trying to understand what I’m trying to do.
It’s probably in your theme file under index.php or footer.php Although, I couldn’t see what you’re talking about really. At least not at the bottom of the page. Also, the toolbar thing at the bottom isn’t working quite right in Google Chrome. The display is off.

Thanks for taking a hard look. Clearly, I need to learn more about what’s allowed and what’s not. I “borrowed” the code and css from another template in an attempt to widgetize my home page, but the evidence would suggest that I’d be better off knowing what I’m doing rather than diving in and hoping for the best 
Thanks again!
Oh yeah, I agree about that toolbar thing… it’s gone.
I’m afraid to say that the layout does not hold together in Opera either and this is a ‘Modern’ generation browser that supports Standrds and CSS very well.
Validating markup is key to many layout issues and even mod1 eyeballs.
<php
/*
Template Name: Custom Front Page
*/
?>
At the top of your index page is causing sgml parsers to void the DTD declaration you need to correct this error initially then look at how the layout stacks up, at the moment you are forcing browsers into ‘Quirks Mode’ each and every browsers will give you a different take on what it thinks is the correct rendering of the page.
There are other markup issues which you will need to address such as illegal nesting of elements; an anchor element may not contain Block level elements such as divs, and there is no proscribed manner in which browsers are meant to correct malformed markup, they make a best guess stab at things and clearly IE8 is struggling with that although it will suffer more than other browsers from being forced to render in quirks mode, it’s only a half decent browser when allowed to render in ‘Standards Mode’.
One last thing and please don’t take offense but that roaming toolbar thing is extremely irritating and if a client asked me to implement something like that I would simply and flatly refuse 
Depending on whether you’ve turned on the components at Dashboard > BuddyPress > Component Setup, BP provides extended user profiles, an interactive activity stream, private messaging, user-creatable groups (with integrated activity streams, forums, and other functionality available via plugins), blog tracking, friend connections, and member/group directories. The toolbar at the top of the screen is one of the methods built into the UI for accessing these features. If you’re using a BP-compatible theme like the bundled bp-default, then you should also see tabs for Members, Groups, Forums etc near the top of your screen.
testbp.org is one place to see BP being used (for test purposes, obviously, but you can get a sense of the organization).
okay, I see. So, I have forums then, and they work just fine. But where is the buddypress magic? How does it change bbpress? My understanding is that buddypress will allow for much more interesting interaction between registered users that bbpress can’t do on it’s own. How do I get these features activated and working?
I can get it running and I wind up with a new toolbar on the top of my screen. Is that the point? Is that what buddypress really is? just a toolbar with some options to send messages to people?
Make sure your theme’s footer calls wp_footer().
I found a conflict with Multi Network & Buddypress. When you activate buddypress on a new network, the title_ tags & toolbar displays the title of the main site from the original network. Is there a fix for this?
Hahaha, sorry to ask so many questions, I’m getting in a muddle but after playing with @mentions I think I get it now.
I get an email if someone mentions me in their update, I also get an email if someone replies to one of my updates.
I DON”T get an email though if someone simply @mentions me in a forum post. I can view that in my @mentions but there is no notification.
Is that right and if so can we have a way of receiving a notification if someone mentions us in a forum post.
Also I only get emails, it doesn’t appear in the notifications in the toolbar. Is that how it should work also.
Thanks so much
Ross
It’s very weird. I really dont get why it does not work. When I am on a member page I can use the firefox webdeveloper toolbar to change the html code.
So I can change the url above on the fly. But any combination just delivers the same message back from FB. I think it stops at /members/ and does not read the membername.
Also when I go to : http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like I can the urls directly and any member url delivers the same button.
I think I need to add something behind it to get it to work, index.php did not work.
(also crossposted on http://forum.developers.facebook.com/viewtopic.php?pid=224533#p224533)
@bplove I renamed most components — Forums –> Discussions, Topic —> Discussion, for example, and renamed most navigation elements to make the way that things fit together clearer. At the moment, the way things are named is awfully counterintuitive, I think, and a thread I started many months back about rethinking it didn’t get any traction, so shrug.
I trimmed down and redesigned the forums list to change the balance a little more towards useability over prettiness, used @3sixty‘s last-read plugin with some changes to save last-read time to the database so users could switch browsers and computers and not lose their last-read time, changed pagination and added pagination divs at top and bottom (just done today, here, I think), added a link to the last-post in a thread from the front, hacked BP-Like to work with Forums (changing the verbiage to ‘Thank’ rather than ‘Like’ which my users are used to), added favoriting to forum threads, used Rich’s Forums extras plugin to add a Forum index and allow activity-stream replies to forum posts to show up inline with the forum posts themselves, added oembed, attachments, and an HTML toolbar to the textareas in forums, added quoting with some changes (to allow quoting selected text only in a post — still working on that one — and to allow nested quoting) using Rich’s tools, made stickies always sticky on the forum front page rather than just the group forums, shrank avatars and rejiggered layout inthread and about a hundred other changes large and small, all either my ideas or requests and demands from my userbase.
The current implementation of BBpress is weak sauce, but it can be massaged with an awful lot of work to be adequate.
Attach? As in upload? Never seen anything that could do that, yet, and don’t know why you’d want to, since activity disappears very quickly indeed off the page.
Embed, well, you can use the oembed plugin and/or the tinymce plugin (if you can get it working) or build your own toolbar above the textarea (search for ‘quicktags’ to find a thread I made for that (for forum posts, but it’d work fine for the activity update textarea too).
Use the oembed plugin, the forums attachment plugin, and either the tinyMCE plugin, rich’s toolbar solution or mine.
That should cover all the bases.
I supplied code to get a toolbar working in forums here (https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/html-and-formatting-buttonbar-for-forums-posts-code-inside). It works flawlessly on my installs and is easily extensible.
TinyMCE (thanks to Boone for working on it) is just too much of a pain in the butt, I’ve found.
I use a combination of r-a-y’s oembed, my toolbar, and Boone’s update of _ck_’s attachments plugin, and they work together just fine.
Yes, I’ve renamed the admin user account so the name is not “Admin” at all. It just reroutes to the home page any time I try clicking on the name or go through the toolbar to get to the profile.
If you wanted to take a look, the homepage is: http://www.secondliferp.com . I’m the only one who has posted on the site so far, so you’ll know which user name is mine.
You have to learn how to use a web developer toolbar.
Using Firefox with the Firebug plugin can help find the specific CSS element. Once you’ve found the element, start applying some CSS rules in your child theme’s style.css.
I use the chat function from the WIBIYA TOOLBAR, works great and can have video conferencing too. It worked great (except for lag issues) with our CHAT YOUR FACE OFF EVENT – http://freelancerunplugged.com/blog/chat-your-face-off-review/
Just installed (today) a fresh copy of wp 2.9.2 and bp 1.2.
I’m having the same issue, for example the link http://clanrecruit.net/members//profile/edit/ will redirect me to http://clanrecruit.net any help with this issue?
In fact almost all the links are not working under ‘my account’ for example http://clanrecruit.net/members//settings/general/ not working.
Ok, I just copied the same like from http://testbp.org after creating a profile to test bp out. Here is the same link under my account toolbar http://testbp.org/members/melvenac/profile/edit/. If you will notice the is an extra ” / ” in my link that is not there at testbp.org. Could this be the problem?
