Hi, I’ve wordpress mu + buddypress last version and I try to use this plugin. I’ve installed without problem but it seems doesn’t work. I also try to rename the plugin directory.
For example when I insert a url like “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8OAF2cU6Xc” in the activity stream it remains only link. Like this http://madeintorino.com/members/admin/activity/1138
How can I do?
thanks
Hi everyone 
First of all, I am using WordPress MU v2.9.2 and BuddyPress v1.2.3. My question involves the Profile Field Setup within the Admin Dashboard and the editable questions on that page. There is a particular required profile question that I edited directly in one of the files some time ago but I can no longer remember which file it was or it’s location.
Could someone here please tell me which file(s) I need to edit along with their full path(s)?.
Thanks so much!, Birdy
Probably because you didn’t deactivate all of the other plugins before upgrading BP.
Try deleting the entire BP plugin via FTP. Then log back into your WordPress install and deactivate all of your plugins (site-wide and homepage plugins). Then upload the latest version of BP via FTP and activate it. Then you can activate your other plugins.
Ok, I am just frustrated at this point.
I have the template pack plugin installed and working. That is great.
It there a file that would bring over the CSS and images to recreate the .content of any of the Buddypress themes? Right now I have the unstyled components of buddypress, which in my opinion is completely unusable, for others.
I am surprised that someone has not written a piece of a theme that will work as a good starting point for those who already are committed to a existing design. It seems it is an all or nothing situation. Am i missing something?
I could use a hand. This has been an incredible time suck. At this point I am about to settle with a forum and extend profiles. Sorry, very frustrated, even this website has been tough to find things on lately. I have followed the Buddypress development for a year now. It was one of the reasons I went with WordPress and not Drupal. Still glad about that choice but wish I could get this to work.
@Modemlooper Shucks, that’s too easy. 
You should try the oEmbed plugin! It automatically allows you to insert videos from youtube/vimeo and others by simply putting in the URL.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-widget-for-blogs/
– enables blog admins to show their BuddyPress avatar with link to BP profile page plus own xprofile fields
I have a fresh install of the latest WordPress and Buddypress versions but I can’t get My Blogs to show on the admin bar.
Also, what’s the easiest way to “insert” bbpress into wordpress? I tried the get-header(); option inside of bbpress but the styles were conflicting to no end.
Swapping header.php on the blog files so it calls different CSS?
Has anyone created code or released a plugin that would combine this functionality with something that will display blog author in a buddypress user’s blog sidebar?
I poked around the MU forums and found some similar plugins, This one
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile-pic/
Sounds very close to what I am envisioning.. I am considering testing that plugin, with the one mentioned above in the first post of this thread, and the “blog-defaults” plugin to see if I can get all of my user’s blogs to have a widget auto added in a new default theme that will display their avatar, and a link to their buddypress profile.
Has anyone does this already and have any advice or code to share?
First, make a backup of your existing theme and I’m guessing here but…
You might be able to just take your existing WP theme and make it a child theme of bp-default. This should cause WP to go looking in the bp-default theme directory for anything not defined in your main WP theme directory.
Some stuff will break. Fixing it might be difficult. I haven’t tried this so good luck and make a backup first.
Oh, and let us know how it goes.
Getting these errors in the apache logs… something’s b0rked!

You’re talking about separating your WordPress blog from BuddyPress?
If you’re using WPMU, you can do this:
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/
My website has a theme that works well in wordpress but it works well in buddypress. So I wanted to leave my home in the theme and buddypress leave the default theme, is to do this with or without the help of a plugin?
For reference.
BuddyPress Roadmap
Role Scoper plugin mentioned by @pcwriter
Members plugin mentioned by @Bpisimone
Like @Anointed mentioned, existing communities not running BP will never switch over to BP until there’s a solution like the one mentioned above. I would call this an issue that is preventing BP from spreading to larger existing communities.
Believe me, if I could code PHP then I would have already created this plugin months ago. Unfortunately I can’t. I’m still learning PHP as we speak but I have nowhere near the skill level required for this. Is there anyone here that feels they can do that and is willing to do so?
I have Buddypress 1.2.3 running on a brand new installation of WordPress 2.9.2 at http://www.FarmvilleMad.com – I want the site index to display the activity feed as it does on the Buddypress demo website at http://testbp.org, and have the blog on a seporate tab, also like the NEWS tab at the testbp.org demo site.
How do I go about doing this? I have browsed the forums for a resolution but can’t seem to find one.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can assist me, it’d be greatly appreciated!! Thank you.
On the roadmap for post-1.3, the team is going to look at WordPress user roles with a view to integrating them.
@warut
Once you’ve done what Bowe has said.
You will need to know how to use SVN or you can use a SVN client.
If you’re using Windows, TortoiseSVN is the most popular SVN program..
Here’s a nice tutorial for Tortoise:

Hey,
I’ve installed Buddypress (1.2.3) and WordPress (2.9.2) and everything works fine. Thanks!
But I dropped the widget in the sidebar which should display who’s online. But it doesn’t work. It shows nobody.
What is the problem?
Please help! Thanks in advance!
Greetings
You should have a WordPress account and then go to:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add/
Submit your plugin, and it will get added to the repository after it has been approved.. this will take a short while
@beeza
Did you create a directory ‘bb-attachments’ one level above your WP root as per the instructions here?
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/forum-attachments-for-buddypress/installation/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/forum-attachments-for-buddypress/ – you can upload different file types … images, swf, etc.
edit- depends on what kind of attachment site admin allows, of course.
