Hi Tatiana – it would be better to ask this as 2 separate questions in the forums (one about images, and one about text). Also make the title a bit clearer, as that will get more people to help you (“activity stream 1.2.5.2” is too general).
To get more help and quicker: I suggest you create two question threads, something like: “how do I stop small images from blog post excerpts getting enlarged in the activity stream updates?” and “Why are my blog post updates missing paragraph breaks when shown in the activity stream?”
My quick thoughts:
images
The problem with image sizes is because a core function in BuddyPress is forcing activity images, that don’t have their height or width set explicitly, to be 100px high. The function causing the problem is bp_activity_thumbnail_content_images().
I’ll raise this as problem in the forums or maybe bug trac.
update text
I don’t have a problem with paragraph breaks in the activity stream. My blog posts are being shown correctly with the breaks. I’m using a default installation of BP1.2.5.2
Paragraphs can be removed by a filter in WordPress / BuddyPress. Have you made any changes to your functions.php or bp-custom.php to turn off the ‘autop’ filter? i.e. do you have any code like this in those files:
add_action(“init”,”remove_autop_filters_from_activity”);
function remove_autop_filters_from_activity(){
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_content_body’, ‘wpautop’ );
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_content’, ‘wpautop’ );
}
Perhaps there is something in the blog template you are using that is doing this?
Ask this one about paragraph breaks as a separate question in the forum (and include my comment).
Cheers, Roger
I have wordpress 3.0.1, and only a handful of otehr plugins (none of which should be an issue. I install the plugin, and activeate it, then get :
WordPress database error: [Table ‘xdatabase.wp_bp_xprofile_data’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT value FROM wp_bp_xprofile_data WHERE field_id = 1 AND user_id = 1
WordPress database error: [Table ‘xdatabase.wp_bp_xprofile_fields’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT * FROM wp_bp_xprofile_fields WHERE id = 1
WordPress database error: [Table ‘xdatabase.wp_bp_xprofile_fields’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT id FROM wp_bp_xprofile_fields WHERE id = 1
WTF? I knwo for certain that the sql databse was clean of BP stuff before i ran the install, there should be nothing to clash.
Any ideaS?
BTW, it says it activated successfully and i can use it ok, which is a little worrying 
Hi — I’ve got an initial version of eventpress ready.
Download links:
http://kunal-b.in/0.1/eventpress.tar.gz
http://kunal-b.in/0.1/bp_custom_posts.tar.gz
Installation:
http://gsoc2010.wordpress.com/2010/08/16/eventpress/
There are a few known bugs that I’ll be taking care of soon.
Any luck? The only way I can find to allow users to log in is via the wordpress backend.. what is this website using as the login widget?
@christinarule nice site. After installing and activating BuddyPress, you coudl install and activate Buddy Template Pack https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/ There are steps to go through with the Template Pack plugin and based on your theme, you would have to change the container divs of files within Template Pack. It’s not easy but it’s do-able.
There is a BuddyPress demo at http://testbp.org/
I think best option is to create your own sidebar function and use an if user is logged in statement.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
SIDEBAR CODE HERE
} else {
SOMETHING ELSE HERE
};
Hi, I recently uploaded buddypress onto my wordpress 3.0.1 and am using version buddypress 1.2.5.2.
My problem – When people try to sign up from the home page they put in their details which appear to be accepted but when they try to log in the details don’t register and the member avatar does not show. But if I go into the admin for WP I can see the user there. If I delete the user and manually add then they can log in. Do you know why?

when it happened to be a small image printed at the beginning of the post (like a thin banner or smiley little face) in it’s size less then 100px, (25px, for example), then on the activity stream page it gets enlarged to a 100px and looks really ugly. I suggest the “if size is bigger then 100 px” correction is made to an images handling code. I couldn’t find it.
I have a community of poets and so most of their posts are poetry, as you could imagine.
The written poem
goes by lines
of a certain length,
and breaks often.
Again, back to the activity stream, it presents posts (poems) in a horrible unreadable fashion – a paragraph of the one single line where everything is smashed together (exerts).
I wish there was an option in settings to choose between a whole post or an exerts on the activity page, as it is given in the wordpress reading settings:
“For each article in a feed, show
o Full text
o Summary”
If anybody can tell me what and where to change in codes to fix it, I would really appreciate.

I currently have a blog site that I customized http://www.blokmovaz.com I really want it to turn into a social networking community and I thought buddypress was just the thing! How do I easily Integrate buddypress into my existing wordpress site?
It would be ideal if a user who is part of buddypress can comment on the post I make from my wordpress categories. Then once you click on a users profile they are given all the “buddy press features” to interact with that user..
Is this something that can be easily done or do I have to re-theme buddypress?
Thanks for all the help in advance!
OK, I used the SQL querry ‘UPDATE wp_options SET option_value=’default’ WHERE option_name=’template’ OR option_name=’stylesheet’ LIMIT 2;’ suggested on http://www.sakinshrestha.com/wordpress/choosing-default-wordpress-theme-through-database/. I got into the Dashboard while the public side returned a blank page. I turned off the BP plugin and got my live site back.
So, how can I get BP running?
I’ve got the most recent versions of WP and BP, XAMPP Lite 1.7.3 and XP SP3. BP is the only active plugin. Getting the following when I switched to the default theme.
Warning: require_once(C:xampplitehtdocswordpress/wp-content/themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:xampplitehtdocswordpresswp-contentthemesbp-default_childfunctions.php on line 19

Any ideas?

Not sure this is exactly the same issue, but looking for input. I’m a brand new buddypress user testing a site. Unless someone already has an avatar in wordpress.org (not .com) photos cannot be uploaded. The error message is “Unable to create directory /home/natural/domains/natural-leader.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/avatars/3. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”
Can anyone tell me if this is an issue with buddpress or somewhere else such as the domain host? If buddypress, does anyone know how to fix?

I’ve created a test user and tried to join the two groups that I’ve created on my site with another user. When my test user clicks the “Join Group” link the link disappears and nothing happens. This problem also happened on the “request membership” link for a private group. I was able to get the “request membership” to work by turning off all my plugins. After turning off all the plugins the “Join Group” button still doesn’t work though.
Any ideas?
You have to make sure that jQuery Tools isn’t conflicting with WordPress’ jQuery call.
Try this:

@bpuser44 : Thanks for the positive feedback. I hit the support forums a little hard over the weekend.
You can find stuff on bp-custom.php and / or functions.php (which can be used for similar things in your theme folder) by searching the forums. BuddyPress development is not as simple as WordPress theming – you are looking at hooks, filters, and reworking core functions a lot more in BP. This should lessen as the API develops in future releases.
BP would benefit no end from a great set of developer tutorials; finding the resource (right people) and time to write them is the big challenge in the Open Source world.
There was a short lived job board forum on the site – that would be a great place to advertise and for you to find BuddyPress consultants, plugin developers, and website designers. Unfortunately, the board was taken down – I don’t know why. We have a current freelance opportunity for a skilled BuddyPress developer, but nowhere effective to advertise it – which is really frustrating.
Most of our work is on commercial BuddyPress developments – so feel free to give me a shout if you want to explore the consultancy route (http://21inspired.com).

I’ve never seen a plugin that can do this. This plugin hooks onto the comment action: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subscribe-to-comments/ So, it might be a good place to start to write a new plugin.
