BuddyPress is definately what your looking for if you need profiles inside wordpress. But you will have to adjust your theme to be buddypress compatible before you can actually fully use buddypress.
I installed mu wordpress and buddypress – all with a problem
A user who creates a blog has the option to select either the default mu wordpress theme or there is the option to select the buddypress theme.
however when they select the buddypress theme the links no longer work – page not found
I am sorry if this has been answered I tried several post but could not find the answer
How do I fix this or remove the buddypress theme option?
Thanks
Gibby
The “Are you sure” message usually means you’re having a nonce error. If you’re submitting a post or comment or some other data with your plugin, check the core code that usually handles that data and see if there’s a check admin referer in there. Google wordpress nonce to learn about how that works.
I recently began debugging a plugin I just got done writing and I encountered a weird error/bug (don’t really know the difference to be honest).. Anyway whenever I submit data on my form it brings my to a page that says “Are you sure you want to do this?” And it has nothing else. It also gets rid of the main login bar at the top. I am not sure if this is a problem with my plugin or wordpress/buddypress, but I am thinking it is my plugin since it doesn’t happen anywhere else..
Ok I finally figured out that my username didn’t have admin rights.. and in some blogs, neither did the admin user 
Now when I get to step two of the buddy press template pack I get this:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_core_is_multisite() in /Users/omaruddin/Sites/waitt-amelia/trunk/wordpress-buddypress-mu/wp-content/plugins/bp-template-pack/bp-template-pack.php on line 188

You have to add support for Smugmug to WordPress’ embed provider whitelist yourself.
Smugmug offers oEmbed support so this should be quite easy.
—
You can either add Smugmug support via wp_oembed_add_provider():
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_oembed_add_provider
Or if you can’t wait, you can upgrade your copy of /wp-includes/class-oembed.php to the latest trunk version:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/13203
As the next version of WP will offer oEmbed support for SmugMug natively.
The issue is simple… bp-events is essentially the only option and there’s been a lack of communication from Erwin. So now we know. Good. Time to move on. I can now tell my organization that we have a plan going forward and that we can finally launch our site. We’ll just have to use a regular WordPress calendar instead of bp-events. Not ideal but it’s the best we can do. I’m fine with whatever… as long as I have a plan.
Ok Thanks you very much, it’s totally work ! Now the matter of course is that BP isn’t very well adapter for my page. Do I have to fix it with CSS or HTML modifications?
I’ve downloaded this good wordpress app for andriod phone to update any wordpress blogs,but I’ve not tried it for buddypress CMS.
It should support it as it uses the same XMLRPC API. Can someone try it if it works
Hello I am currently running WordPress 2.9.2 and Buddypress 1.2.1
I have this plugin installed on a test site that I have and from what I can tell, tinymce shows up on the content boxes on activity pages, profile pages, forums (starting a new topic) as well as replying to a forum post. However while on the forum pages once you input some content and press post, everything works fine (minus styling to the blockquote element), even though tinymce shows up in other areas once you hit “post” you get an error saying “Please enter some content to post”.
I have tried this in Firefox 3.6, Chrome 4.1.249.1042 and IE7 so far and while Chrome and IE7 always give you the error when trying to post from any area other than the forums, Firefox will give you the error but if you refresh the page and press post again the content will post.
Would seem like to plugin does just what you want in terms of the forums area and would be fine for me if I could disable it in the other areas unless there is a fix or workaround for the other areas.
In any event thank you and good luck to those who can fix this.
fyi, i installed this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
When i used the standard php_mail option it does not work, if i use smtp mailing it works.
As mentioned before private messaging between users is sending out notifications without any problem (without plugin). Is there any difference between the mail functions here ?
@foxly your flexibility and willingness to work with everyone is commendable. This will a strongly highlighted feature at my WP Meetup presentation this Sat
if anyone is around DFW and interested
See this thread for possible plugins that can help you out with hosts that restrict mail sending.

You’ve more or less got the structure correct.
– I don’t believe “title” is a valid attribute for li and ul tags. If your goal is to display the word “Community”, you’ll have to put it outside the tag like so:
<li>Community...
– I assume that your purpose is to make the Community submenu (Activity, Members, etc) a dropdown menu that is invisible except when you hover over the header Community. That’s a CSS issue. I recommend you find a WordPress theme (or any website, really) that has such a feature, look at the source code and especially the CSS, and emulate the necessary rules. You could also check out a tutorial, like the “horizontal” menu bar described here: http://www.seoconsultants.com/css/menus/tutorial/.
Good luck!
I first of all want to say that I support Erwin all the way in what he is saying as I know that the effort involved in getting a piece of decent code out there is huge and doing it all for free is a big ask. This is especially so when such code could quite happily be used in commercial organisations who most definitely will charge for the services that they provide.
It seems to me that the eco-system surrounding a product like WP/BP is one that we are still coming to grips with but in essence it seems that there is a move to basic functionality/service for free and that additional usage/features will attract a fee. According to the Mashable review of the recent talk by WP Founder Matt Mullenweg this is how Automattic supports its operations.
So why should a plugin developer not expect the same? Perhaps the future of such development should be along the lines of groups of coders providing a freemium type service so that there is a basic level of functionality and you pay for the extras.
Andrea , I don’t think so, have latest versions of wpmu/bp and downloaded latest version I can find, for instance buddymatic is https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/buddymatic and the auto install on wmpu. This is the same for Sense and Sensibility, btw. white screen o’ death
Hi,
I recently tried to install buddypress latest (as of today) buddypress.1.2.2.1.zip
But it said I needed to upgrade WPMU 2.9.2 at least
So I did that, I tried deactivating all plugins no difference.
But nothing i do is firing the bp-loader to even be detectable in the plugin list.. I even added bp-custom and specific blog id. I have never gotten a chance to click activate.
I’m only accessing the blog specifically that I want to activate buddypress on. I do not want to activate it on the root blog, hence why I also added bp-custom.
I am concerned that maybe my upgrade didn’t work properly or fully yet? I don’t see any errors in the error log except Negotiation: discovered file(s) matching request: /Users/XXX/Sites/YYY/trunk/wordpress-mu/index.html (None could be negotiated)., referer: http://ZZZ/wp-admin/plugins.php
Also I tried adding die() commands through every file in the buddy press core plugin folder, but I didn’t see a white page… It’s almost like it just ignores buddypress altogether. I was able to see and activate the buddypress template pack plugin just fine…
Please help!
I appreciate any insights anyone might have… it really shouldn’t be this mind boggling
i have updated the development version again to 1.6b3 which now includes RSS Feed for public group forum topics and topic posts.
also included a few extra functions which require theme edits but give a little more bbpress feel
Link the freshness time_since to the last post
edit theme /bp-default/forums/forums-loop.php
Change:
<td>
<?php bp_the_topic_time_since_last_post() ?>
</td>
To:
<td>
<a href="<?php echo bp_forum_extras_topic_last_post_link( 15 ); ?>"><?php bp_the_topic_time_since_last_post() ?></a>
</td>
Note: 15 per_page is default for bp_has_forum_topic_posts – you may need to change this if you use a different per_page in the loop.
Add pagination next to topic title
theme edit /bp-default/forums/forums-loop.php
After the topic title, Add:
<?php bp_forum_extras_topic_page_links( 15 ) ?>
You may pass additional args – refer to paginate_links codex
if you would like to test it out… grab the download from ‘development version’ at:

@heathj85
Please either PM Dave or post on Dave’s support site for his plugin:

Dave doesn’t frequent these forums often.
You can try purging blog posts from the BP activity table and then using the following plugin by Boone Gorges:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-import-blog-activity/
I’m having the same problem and I have version 1.2.6. Is this a settings error or a bug?
No, Its a wordpress theme that I used the template-pack plugin to make it a BP theme. Everything works and is fine.. Its the item-header-avatar on the /members/user/activity/ page.. You CAN see the same image on the default BP theme.
I only want to remove this from that specific page and not all the related pages (maybe on a few other specific pages but that might be an after thought.
BuddyPress doesn’t create any pages (at least not in the current version).
It should be safe to use the BP Template Pack plugin.
But, as always, make a backup of your filesystem and your database just for safety measures.
Also, before making any changes on your live site, you should have some type of development site so you can test things like BuddyPress on it without worrying.
Thank you so much I’ve a last question:will this BP Template Pack create a social network ? I mean is it possible to keep my pages in one hand and create a social network where users will be able to discuss?
Thank you again
