I have set up sub domain on our WordPress site to look like this http://mysite.com/mybuddypress not the usual http://mybuddypress.mysite.com. On the main blog I have the Thesis skin and on the Buddypress site I have used the default skin with tweaked colors. The problem I am facing is that on deactivating Buddypress on the sub domain (BP v1.2.3) WordPress fails to initialize on the main site.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Yeah I installed them both locally using MAMP.
I tried it again tonight and when I log in to bbpress it will log me in to buddypress, but when I log in to buddypress it doesn’t log me in to bbpress. I went in to buddypress to the forum setup tab and did the integration from an existing forum thing, but that just set up the groups forums again. I created a group and stated a forum and topic, the group appeared as a subforum on bbpress and the posts appeared there. When I posted on in it bbpress it appeared in the group on buddypress, and group posts appear on bbpress.
I went back to the forum setup tab and it said:
“NOTE: The forums directory will only work if your bbPress tables are in the same database as your WordPress tables. If you are not using an existing bbPress install you can ignore this message.”
Which is something over my head, I don’t even know what a table is.
Here is the code I used. Put this in bp-custom.php in your plugins folder, and it should correctly display your user’s BP avatar across an entire WordPress MU install. Lemme know if it works! 
function nfm_bp_avtar_upload_path_correct($path){
if ( bp_core_is_multisite() ){
$path = ABSPATH . get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG, ‘upload_path’ );
}
return $path;
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_avatar_upload_path’, ‘nfm_bp_avtar_upload_path_correct’, 1);
function nfm_bp_avatar_upload_url_correct($url){
if ( bp_core_is_multisite() ){
$url = get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG, ‘siteurl’ ) . “/wp-content/uploads/”;
}
return $url;
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_avatar_url’, ‘nfm_bp_avatar_upload_url_correct’, 1);

I’m pretty new to Buddypress and WordPress. Launched my first site today with 95% of the “i can’t find my registration” emails solved by directing them to their spam folders. But beyond that I have three that can’t find their email, say it’s not in their spam folder, and I need to get em in. Opened phpadmin and didn’t see a “wp_signsup” listing. Checked out “wp_users” and found user_activation_key and there’s a list of 30 things and two of them have keys next to them. They’re different keys. How do I know which one to use? And how exactly do I use it. Do I go to the mydomain.com example url above and enter this key and then that gets them in? Or do I give them the key and they do that? Any insights most appreciated.
@r-a-y – That is a reference to the current live site, which is built of of WordPress 2.7 (not WPMU). To build this new site (dev.neoncon.com) copied the DB and files to dev and did upgrades from there. So, those references, which only exit within posts, should be broken.
The issue is with new uploads, specifically the avatars for members and groups.
Hello caplain. You can use plugins for this. I’m using Invite Anyone. You can search Extend section by typing “invite” and visit WP Plugins Directory at https://extend.wordpress.org/plugins
For Blog postings, you might try Glenn Slaven’s plugin. I haven’t tried it with WP 3.0.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/friendfeed-comments/
You could also go with Disqus or Intense Debate … to synch comments in blog postings.
For activity stream … I have not tried this … but … use tweestream to sync between site and twitter, use FriendFeed tool to keep twitter and FriendFeed synchronized … that should do the trick at the basic level.
Wordpress 3
Buddypress 1.2.5.2
Fresh new installations
(No upgrades, no conversions, just Multisite/multiblog and subdirectory from the beginning)
Sample blog post – http://kmela.net/kc/newdemo/2010/07/06/new-post-one/
Sample activity stream – http://kmela.net/kc/members/newdemo/activity/
User newdemo is confused as she uploaded her avatar from BP but cannot see that in her blog comment 
I hate repeating myself but the reason I mention the renaming is BuddyPress uses the “forums” slug by default, so if you installed standalone bbPress at /forums/, there will be a slug conflict.
Did you even install standalone bbPress?
On a properly-integrated bbPress and WordPress install, you can login at standalone bbPress and you will be logged in at WordPress and vice versa. I’ve done this on multiple occasions and it works.
I just upgraded Buddypress Plugin on my WordPress Website today. Everything was fine at 1.2.5 until the upgrade today from 1.2.5 to 1.2.5.1 and now I get the following error whenever anyone tries to make a comment:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /home/…/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-blogs.php on line 476
@boonebgorges Sorry, I wasn’t very explicit. I am visiting the user’s profile while logged in as an admin, which gives me the Admin options in the admin bar, including the option to “delete this user”. That way, it doesn’t work.
I’m sure I can delete the user from within the WordPress interface, but that is what I want to avoid. So I want to find out what could be causing this BP error.
Hi there. Thanx for the tuts & info.
Any chance of updating malleable for BP theme ? I see you removed it from xfactor site.
@anaxent sorry for the late reply, been away for a few days.
Yes, the current version of the theme on http://bp-theme-converts.com/mystique-with-buddypress/ works with BP 1.2.5.
Feel free to post any issues or support for plugins you want on the forums there.
If you’re experiencing problems deleting users via the WP user management panel, then it’s probably not strictly speaking a BuddyPress problem. You might try deactivating BP (deactivate BP-dependent plugins first!) for a moment, to see if you’re able to delete members with BP turned off. If not, then your problem is WordPress related.
we didn’t solve this…
We have updatet the installation to WordPress 3.0 and the newest Buddy press Version….
has anyone any ideas or the same problem??
I have made fresh, clean installs of WP 3 as multisite and Buddypress 1.2.5. While everything works OK avatars uploaded at BP are not shown in WP blog, blog comments etc
I posted a demo link at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-show-bp-avatars-in-wordpress-blogs/
Does the demo version ay buddypress.og works okay with WP multisite blogs – is there any demo?
This bug is actually making Buddypress 1.2.5 unusable.
i understand that. I wanted to get this working before attempting the BP install, but I never got an answer over at wordpress.org, and everyone here is very knowledgeable.
@r-a-y I used your code suggestion and some that I found in Restrict User 2 With Viper’s original Restrict User Plugin
Found here http://www.viper007bond.com/wordpress-plugins/registered-users-only/
because I wanted the site to be restricted to registered users only… still allow access to the login/activiate page and ALSO allow access to the feeds…
I ended up with this.
// Depending on conditions, run an authentication check
function MaybeRedirect() {
// If the user is logged in, then abort
if ( current_user_can(‘read’) ) return;
$settings = get_option( ‘registered-users-only’ );
// Feeds
if ( 1 == $settings && is_feed() ) return;
// This is a base array of pages that will be EXCLUDED from being blocked
if ($bp&&($bp->current_component == BP_REGISTER_SLUG ))//buddypress
return;
if ( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || is_page(‘welcome’) ) //buddypress
return;
$this->exclusions = array(
‘wp-login.php’,
‘wp-signup.php’,
‘wp-register.php’,
‘wp-activate.php’,
‘wp-cron.php’, // Just incase
‘wp-trackback.php’,
‘wp-app.php’,
‘xmlrpc.php’,
);
It appears to be working… Do you have any thoughts on the above? Thanks
There are limitations, but it depends on what you mean by integration!
The tutorials I listed integrates single sign-on with standalone bbPress and WordPress, which consequently means BuddyPress as well.
Okay, then follow the guide from the previous thread I mentioned:
http://developersmind.com/2010/06/17/upgrading-wordpress-mu-2-9-2-to-wordpress-3-0/
Read and implement everything.
Chances are you’re missing the .htaccess edit and moving /wp-includes/ms-files.php to /wp-content/.
Follow the instructions first, primarily you need to edit the .htaccess file and you need to move /wp-includes/ms-files.php to /wp-content/.
FYI, avatars are stored in the uploads directory, which differs depending on what flavor of WordPress you’re using.
For single WP, that would be /wp-content/uploads/.
For multisite, that would be /wp-content/blogs.dir/BP_ROOT_BLOG_ID/files.
