BuddyPress.org

Well it would work that is one of the methods to manipulating what appears as front page built into WP. The point to this thread was attempting to find a solution to the actual issue, ones meant to be able to set the activity stream from the backend but can’t, the thread arrives at a temporary solution to this.

Hey guys, I just wrote a simple work around for this. Its working for me.

1. Create a Page Template for the Activity Stream
2. Create a Page with the Page Template (now that page shows the activity)
3. Use that page as the front page (This is normal for wp and works)

That’s it. see it here – http://millionclues.com/problogging/wordpress-tips/fix-for-buddypress-activity-stream-not-showing-up-on-homepage/

@menel001 see if this helps – http://millionclues.com/problogging/wordpress-tips/fix-for-buddypress-activity-stream-not-showing-up-on-homepage/

Many thanks @r-a-y. :***

Hello everyone. I am having a slight problem with the budypress plug in. It wants to take over my website and change the face of it.
I am looking to install a social network as part of the wordpress blog, not in place of it. I would like it to reside in mydomain.com/buddypress or something like that. I am a Star Trek podcast and we want to create a social network like we had on ning, but if we have to migrate to an alternative, why not just take it in house and host it on our own server. So basically when you go to my home page which is at http://www.LouTrekShow.com you can see a link to our social network which would be http://www.LouTrekShow.com/buddypress and then the social network will pop up where people can hang out.
Is it possible to do this with buddypress??
Thank you.

Create a WordPress page and apply a page template first.

Do not use a PHP plugin like ExecPHP unless you really have to.

You’re passing the parameters wrong.

if ( bp_has_activities( 'object=groups&primary_id=2') ) : bp_the_activity();

You can either create a shortcode plugin that uses the BP activities loop, or create a PHP page template with the activities loop with the group parameters passed into it:

Hello,
I’ve using the buddypress template pack and I still have this message:

BuddyPress is ready. You’ll need to activate a BuddyPress compatible theme to take advantage of all of the features. We’ve bundled a default theme, but you can always install some other compatible themes or upgrade your existing WordPress theme.

What changes do I need to make to get rid of this message.

Thanks in advance.

ok. I wanted to see if the problem is here (. htaccess). I think yes. Pay attention to punctuation.
