with this Facebook Connect plugin it creates a member in BP, so even if you remove the plugin their account stays:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-fb-autoconnect
with phpbb it was easy to grow numbers.. because there was an option to restrict access.. to registered members only..
buddypress does not have this though 
people can read all posts without registration there is invite on,y and hidden forum.. but it is not the same as
register to view..
i think that;s missing feature by the way
re facebook login — I want them to be registered with me, not only with facebook haha 
– unless I misunderstand..
re hosting,, is it fast? to me it seems on the slow side,
so I am glad you said that.. guys who were helping me out had to install some plugins to optimize it.. etc..
it is on dedicated server / litespeed
It should be quite easy to pull the WP password strength indicator from the WP admin profile page.
Or even try using a jQuery plugin like this one:
http://phiras.wordpress.com/2007/04/08/password-strength-meter-a-jquery-plugin/
“Powered by WordPress MU & BuddyPress”
If you use bbPress to power the group forums, shouldn’t they get credit too?
Haha you arent kidding.. Its the single most NICHE site and with most ridiculously LONG url on the planet. I did not pick it, its not my choice.. i tried to talk them out of it..
Now, of coarse that I have wordpress mu all installed and working, they are ready to POSSIBLY change it (BLAHH I WANNA SCREAM FOR THAT) But I am pretty sure I can change the url site-wide by exporting the DB and doing a find/replace in a text editor so thats not a massive issue
So can you tell me where the args for the avatar are within bp? Or is this something I have to search for within my theme? any guesses as to where i might be?

@modemlooper’s suggestion works well. Admin is an admin and will have the same privileges.
I’m not familiar with the poster’s original question, but sometimes wordpress site owners will create a new admin account and delete the out-of-the-box admin to mitigate risk (thought minor) to the site.
So I just installed MU and buddy press and so far I am pretty happy (although the template I downloaded needed a lot more work than I expected.. but whatever.
So here is the site:
connecticutaquaticplantenthusiasts.com
I created a super paired down version of that same theme for the individual user blogs so it doesn’t feel like you leave the main page at all. The reason for this is because I dont WANT people to have a lot of freedom because you need to have some knowledge of wordpress to use these freedoms and this site is for people who are entirely stupid when it comes to tech.
So now that I have removed the ability for these people to do MOST things, I need to start cleaning up a tad.
So one issue is on my main page you will notice, down by the site-wide activity, one of the avatars (the larger) Is super pixelated. This is only happening with Gravatar avatars and NOT the ones uploaded through the avatar upload feature.
Second question.. Is there a way to create an area on the main page that shows “RECENT IMAGES” or “RECENT UPLOADS” and show every and all image uploaded to any blog site-wide? Similar to the recent posts, but with images.
and FINALLY… the activity area is SUPER ugly.. Has anyone successfully styled it? I can’t seem to find the place to do so.
Also I am open to any suggestions for MU or BP plugins. The goal here is to give everyone their own identical blogs that they can add content to. Everyone SHOULD have the same categories, pages, etc.. As you can see, its for fish people.. So i’d like to require categories such as “TANK PICTURES” “FiSH PICTURES” etc..
So far I have one plugin that lets me set default values for new blogs.. but thats it/
It’s also very fast – what are you hosting on?
Hi All,
That latest iteration of group documents is here and it has categories! Some sort of organization has been an oft-requested feature, and I think this turned out pretty nice.
Also of note: There is now the ability to restrict document uploads to group moderators. This can be set at the site-level or group level.
Get it while it’s hot:

As always, please let me know how it goes; feedback is welcome!
Cheers,
Peter
@kriskl your community has, like…62000 MEMBERS ? Wow, now THATS a large community !
Liked your site, very organized. Being about accountancy students, wouldn’t facebook login be useful for member singup ?

Actually, the project is moving to a Franciscan monastery nearby. Either way, the real monks and nuns moved out some time ago.
BTW, I’m still getting some errors with https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-widget-for-blogs/

hi Guys!
I have migrated from phpbb3 to buddypress
site went live today, there were some hiccups with script, and not everything was converted.. private msg or attachments. and links in posts are not right..
anyways, here it is. opentuition.com/forums
PS. I have not done it myself, but people who did it, if they did it for me, they can do it for you, drop me PM and i will forward your info!
So let me get this right. These are a combination of Joomla, and WordPress?
Dude, you must be some kind of PHP Svengali.
They all look very nice. I couldn’t pick one over the other technically, but I like the first one the best.
Really good stuff man.
Cool one rsqst, will the Ursuline nuns be accepting male, or female guests only, at the convent? 
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-widget-for-blogs/ has been updated and it’s working in child blogs.
Cheers.
Could be I got the same issue here. 2.92 WordPress (single user) and latest BuddyPress installed via BuddyPress Template Pack Plugin.
With nothing disabled in BP general settings, everything enabled in component setup.
There is no “create group” in the “groups” tab. Only “My Groups” and “Invites”. Clicking the “groups” tab goes to http://www.ultimatecultureclash.com/members/cupedoll/groups/ which seems fine.
But I want forums. And it seems forums are a property of groups. So I need groups. How to create groups?
(After much confusion) I enter MANUALLY: http://ultimatecultureclash.com/groups/create/step/group-details/
This goes to /groups/create/step/group-details/images/images/bg_body.gif which looks good. The heading says “Create a Group” and there’s input fields for “Group Name” and “Group Description”.
But entering group name, group description and pressing “Create Group and Continue —->” button only reloads blog homepage and creates nothing.
Here’s more examples. “Activity” tab + “Personal” tab resolves to http://www.ultimatecultureclash.com/members/cupe3903doll/activity/just-me/ which is probably right. But “Profile” tab + “Edit profile” tab redirects back to home page.
How weird is that?
And one more thing I noticed. When tabs resolve where they should? I get logged out. But when tabs redirect to home page? I remain logged in.
The plugin bp-member-filter[1] works for me.
You need to use :
<?php if ( bp_has_members_filter( 'search_terms=metal&per_page=10' ) ) : ?>

I am using the most recent versions of BP and WP and user registration seems to work fine sharing the username and password. How can I make BP import / sync additional usermeta fields? I have custom usermeta fields for my WP install and I create custom xprofile fields but they don’t seem to sync so I have two separate user tables basically. Is there any way I can make sure the xprofile fields update the wordpress usermeta everytime there is a change? or only use 1 table for both?
I have searched everywhere to get more info on this topic but can’t seem to get anywhere. Also all of the mass user importers for BP 1.2 don’t seem to work with the regular WP install so I’m kind of stumped. I would be happy to sponsor some support help on this. Thanks.
Hey Aran, I could not get this to work at all with just regular WP, but after deleting and installing WordPress MU in its place, I was able to get BuddyPress to work with no problems. Very strange…because I was able to install BuddyPress with just a regular install of WordPress 3 days ago on another site.
This is the first beta of the 1.0 version.
This version is a complete rewrite of the old plugin.
It has a new logic, and much more functionality.
http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/seo-for-buddypress.1.0beta.zip
If you update from an old version, please go to the settings page and click on “Update Database”.
bug report and feature requests go in here please.
I’m thinking about to add the following features into the next versions:
– Nofollow control
– Image-title and alt-tag management
– Letter and word counter for the meta edit pages
– Add meta description in the post edit screen
If you have any suggestions, please contact me.
The avatar folders are there and the main picture I upload is being saved in there, but it is not creating different sizes. On the page itself it is showing at this point SCREENSHOT- http://freelancerunplugged.com/files/crop-problems.jpg
So for some reason, the whole cropping function is not even working. And I have tried it by disabling all the plugins except for buddypress and it still does the same thing.
This morning I Automatically upgraded to the latest wordpress and latest Buddypress using the auto update buttons. I don’t really want to re-upload the whole thing again due to the time it takes and also (as it was just upgraded this morning) I do not believe it will change the current outcome. Unless you disagree then I will do it all again.
The main blog folder (which is number 2) is now 777 and re-uploading a new picture did the same thing. Picture shows up in the FTP area, but no crops and the page shows the SCREENSHOT again – http://freelancerunplugged.com/files/crop-problems.jpg
Apart from the glitch with the avatar not showing up to crop, I feel this is an issue that a lot of other people are facing but instead of fixing it they delete/ reinstall everything. And Im not really able to do that as the website has a few hundred poeple on it.
I found this mail sended in 2007 on wp-hackers, while searching for error message stuff at plugin activation
It seems to be be already the same situation in 2010… so devs, you know…
wp-hackers] Plugins : return proper error on activation faliure

Some complex plugins may fail during activation (creating database
tables or what not).
currently there is no way for plugins to return an error signal + error
message in such cases: only thing they can do is to print the error.
this is problematic as the error does not fit well into the wordpress
admin page, and can also cause problems if for some reason the someone
tries to set an http header after the plugin was activated.
I suggest that we allow plugin to return error message back to wordpress
on activation.
The visibility of the Admin nav-item is a side effect of “Site Wide: true” but it isn’t the correct way to fix this.
The “Site Wide” meta value doesn’t have anything to do with users, roles, or capabilities. It’s only there to tell WordPress that plugin can act as the umbrella that covers all blogs/sites in a network.
The offending plugins are simply just not using the correct methods to add their navigation to the Admin area.
WordPress has many wrappers to help make this easy for plugin authors:
add_management_page
add_options_page
add_theme_page
add_users_page
add_dashboard_page
add_posts_page
add_media_page
add_links_page
add_pages_page
add_comments_page
All of the above functions are passed an $access_level variable, that can be set to a “current_user_can” value to limit its access.
I’d drop a message to the authors of the plugins that are showing their settings to unauthorized users. That isn’t just inconvenient/embarrassing/confusing, it’s a security risk.
Got pretty much the same issue here. Latest WordPress (non-MU) and BuddyPress installed via BuddyPress Template Pack Plugin.
With nothing disabled in BP general settings, everything enabled in component setup.

This goes to /groups/create/step/group-details/images/images/bg_body.gif which looks good. The heading says “Create a Group” and there’s input fields for “Group Name” and “Group Description”.
But entering group name, group description and pressing “Create Group and Continue —->” button only reloads blog homepage and creates nothing.
I’ve read somewhere that this might be theme-related? I run Atahualpa, pretty extensively customized. Yet the BuddyPress Template Pack Plugin was supposed to integrate everything painlessly (for ignorant non-coders like me). And the weird thing is how smoothly it seemed to have done the job. Until it came to creating groups.
