Hello, for my next project I will be using WordPress Mu with Buddypress, I was wondering if there is someone that can code an existing HTML template for WordPress MU and BuddyPress. So if there is someone in this community or some site that offers this service please tell me and also I would like to know approximately how much will cost the template coding.
Hi,
I’ve recently done a new install at http://kindiefest.com.
My profile will show up fine, as will a test one I created (http://kindiefest.com/wordpress/members/testchilds/). However, when I click on the link to see the profile of the one other person I’ve asked to register (http://kindiefest.com/wordpress/members/Jack%20Forman/) it just redirects to the original page. I have tried the same URL with JackForman or Jack, both of which show up in his user data too (after I changed his nickname from the Facebook user number that was there before – the URL with that didn’t work either).
Any hints?
Thanks!
Bill Childs
I released some days ago a plugin called CD BuddyPress Avatar Bubble (download it here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cd-bp-avatar-bubble/).
Here is a link to the plugin-group: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/cd-bp-avatar-bubble/
So I would be thankfull if you tested it and give me some feedback. Any found bugs, ideas (even crazy) – don’t be shy 
Thank you in advanced!
@mrsalty-
Please do not cross post. You’ve asked the same questions in this post. Someone will answer you. Please be patient. Also, for everyone’s information, as this is an all-volunteer support forum, do not bump a post until 24 hours have passed.
Similar to the WordPress “Next Post in Category” function ( next_post_link() ) , how would I display the next and previous topics at the topic of a specific topic page in the BP template (topic.php)?
I noticed there is a next_topic() function as part of the class BP_Forums_Template_Topic, but my php knowledge stops short of figuring out what a class function is and how to work with it (or even if it would work here).
Is that class function the way to go, or is there a better or simpler way to display the next and previous topics in a category?
@Arturo Thanks! Blog tracking? Meaning how posts can show up in BP’s activity streams and on profiles etc? And is blog creation in MU = to “network” in WP3.0?
First q: BP on WPMU — the BP member functionality is site-wide and not local to each individual blog?
If so, q 2: would you say that BP on WPMU is much like BP on WP except that members can have their own blog with its own subdomain and other WPMU-specific features like optionally setting their own blog plugins etc?
Q3: BP + WP + “community blogs” plugin (I think it is) is = to or is NOT = to BP on WPMU? I assume not?
Thanks!
Do any of you have more detail about the differences in how BuddyPress works on WP vs on WPMU? (And maybe differences in how BP might work on WP3.0 since that sounds like it will have WPMU-like functionality)?

If yes, is that kind of functionality not possible with BP-on-WP via it’s own plugins?
Thanks much!
the only difference is the blog tracking for BP and the blog creation in MU or “network” in WP3.0

Hi all!
I’m using a single WordPress 2.9.2 and BuddyPress 1.2.3 with BuddyPress Template Pack 1.0.2.
When I was using the links of BuddyPress (Activity, Profile, Messages…) I was redirected to a 404 error page…
After hours and hours I realised that it was my qTranslate plugin which were annoying me.
So I’ve been through the plugin and in the file qtranslate_hooks.php I noticed this section: // Hooks (execution time non-critical filters)
Inside of which I find a code called: add_filter(‘clean_url’,’qtrans_convertURL’);
I just change this code to: remove_filter(‘clean_url’,’qtrans_convertURL’);
And everything was working perfectly… my qTranslate was translanting as usual and all my BuddyPress links were working like a charm…
mmmmmm… interesting… cause I don’t really know what the function add_filter(‘clean_url’,’qtrans_convertURL’); is about?? and how and where the new function remove_filter is gonna affect my site???
Any ideas?
You only need to create a child theme if you’re making changes to the default BP theme.
If you’re using an existing WordPress theme, then only use the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin with your WordPress theme:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
Gotcha… just briefly glanced the post 
So you just want to list a bunch of blog links that the displayed user is a contributor to?
Blog roles were removed in BP 1.2.3 due to performance reasons. However, you might want to look for a WPMU-specific function for this.
Try get_blogs_of_user():
https://codex.wordpress.org/WPMU_Functions/get_blogs_of_user
Hey Peter, didn’t see your post until just now.
You’re right that documentation is sparse, but that’s up to users like you and me to add it to the BuddyPress codex.
BuddyPress uses a different method to validate that’s why you can’t just hook in the WPMU validation function that WP-reCAPTCHA uses.
Like I stated above, look for clues in /buddypress/bp-core-signup.php. Check out the global $bp variable, especially $bp->signup->errors. This is what you have to use in place of what the check_recaptcha_wpmu() function uses.
FYI, I’m not using WP-reCAPTCHA.
Might I suggest using a math challenge plugin? It’s more user-friendly than a captcha plugin.

[EDIT]
Here’s another captcha plugin that supports BP:

@holgria – Are you using a WordPress theme or a BuddyPress theme?
If you want to use an existing WordPress theme, use the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
Then do what techguy stated – modify “registration/register.php” in your WP theme’s folder.
Did you solve this problem?
I’m looking for a way to change the base URL of BuddyPress. For example, if I have WordPress installed in my servers root, http://mydomain.com, and I want to see the members of my BuddyPress install, I would go to http://mycomain.com/members/. I would like to inject a word before members, that has no physical location on the server, something like this: http://mydomain.com/usa/members/, where USA has no location on the server. It’s like Categories. The Categories folder isn’t on disk, yet we show category blog posts like http://mydomain.com/category/sports/.
I’ve tried a few things, mainly with .htaccess, but the rule doesn’t seem to follow all the way down the tree. For example, when I add access usa/members/myname/profile/, then click on the Members link, or the Activity link, I get http://mydomain.com/members, or http://mydomain.com/activity.
I just want to make it look like buddypress is installed one level deeper.
Any thoughts?
Hi all,
I want to create some web community and in order to do that I was testing Open Source Systems – Elgg, Joomla with Community Builder and JomSocial. Yesterday I started testing WordPress with BuddyPress. It is my first time using WP and what?
It’s look really good and I thought that I will work with WP longer but…for sure I have to say that here I have a lot of problems. Firstly I had a problem with blak page after login. I manage that, but now the same. I installed WordPress MU with BP and after instalation and loging out I can’t login to my C Panel because of blank page. Even my main page is blank! I was trying changing the name of plugins catalog, but it not helps.
I am using WP MU 2.9.2, installing it on my local server (WAMP).
Here you have my config file: http://no-paste.pl/code/10121
Here .htaccess: http://no-paste.pl/code/10119
What is wrong?

But, also Ron’s blog, and he’s wpmuguru who has been actually working on the merge.
Also, wptavern is an *excellent* resource for any new in the WP world.
I check wpmu.org blog, buddydev.com, as well as wpinspiration.com and the official WordPress blog.
Who else is doing good things in our community?
I thought I forgot to enable it in the configuration somewhere. Thanks for confirming. I will add it to the trac.
hi
i am using wordpress 2.9.2 and i installed buddypress 1.2.3
wordpress is installed using fantistico
i had bp groupmanagement plugin installed
no upgrades or modifications on the core files, only the theme file, register.php file where i removed the sidebar,
i am using the default bp theme, bbpress is built in
It’s pretty easy to do with just a normal wordpress page and a custom template for that page.
The bug is with the plugin, not BuddyPress. Look at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-community-blogs and where it says, “Last Update: 411 days ago” and “Compatible to: (WordPress) 2.7.”
Your best bet is to leave the author, Andy, a message and see if he intends to update.
Good idea for future enhancement. As I can’t move this post to the ideas forum, could I ask you please @intimez to post this on https://trac.buddypress.org/ with your username + password from this site as a future enhancement suggestion? Thanks
