Try this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-provider/
It seems to only work for images though. Contact the plugin author to ask for video support.
You’d also need to add your site to WP’s oEmbed whitelist, read this:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds#How_Can_I_Add_Support_For_More_Websites.3F
I installed the group plugin, and then added another member to a public group. I even bumped the member to a moderator.
That part worked perfectly, but there is one small issue.
On the groups activity page, it says user ‘x’ joined the group. The ‘x’ is the proper name, however just to the left of the username is my avatar, and not his.
example:
http://shawngaffney.anointed.net/groups/public-test-group/
first activity says ‘steve’ joined, yet the avatar is my avatar, not his, and the avatar also links to my account not his. That will make it a bit confusing to users?
**cross posted this on the wordpress.org download page forum as well**
Sounds good. I’ll hold off a little longer 
I was losing faith and perfectly happy launching with a simple WordPress plugin for now. But an integrated solution would be better of course. That said… I will really need recurring events… so who knows… I may STILL end up going with a WP plugin for the time being. Then maybe switch to bp-events in 2011.
I’m going to paraphrase a line out of the iPhone ads:
“There’s a plugin for that!”
Check out this plugin by Brajesh Singh:
http://www.thinkinginwordpress.com/2009/10/autoactivate-users-and-blogs-at-buddypress-signup/
I think it needs to be updated for BP 1.2 though.
For the project I’m working on I’m using Buddypress 1.2.1 with single WordPress 2.9.2.
I am trying to get my head around how to bring the internal blog feed from a single blog into different groups. I know it is really easy for external blog feed with the BuddyPress External Group Blogs plugin or with the BuddyPress Group blog plugin as soon WordPress 3.0 come out may do the job. Any thought?
hello,
really strange i had a wordpress site that i converted into a buddypress site now there are 2 admins 1 can access all site info and the other cannot any options under the My Account is simply redirecting the 1 admin to the homepage
any help ?
It installs like a plugin but will take over your site theme as you need to active the BP theme to get the functionality. If you want to use your own theme please read this.
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
Basically, Yes. Buddypress is plugin for an existing WordPress install. You can’t just install it by itself in a sub-folder. Also, Buddypress is not like a “blog posts” page that you can assign somewhere on your site. You can’t fit it into a couple pages. It’s an entire social networking platform. It will add groups, profiles, messaging, activity, and more to your site.

Hi,
Im new to buddypress. And I only see a very brief installation guide which is “add plugin & install”..
I have a wordpress site and i need to install buddypress on another folder or im hoping there’s just an option to just choose which page the buddypress would appear. Anyway i want my buddy press to appear something like:
mywebsite.com/buddypress_folder
So, I need to install another wordpress in /buddypress_folder ?
thanks
hello ladies and gentleman, that’s me again…
I was working really hard to solve this problem with sidebar and i think i found the solution. But i still have no clue how to to move this photos on the left side just few cm to the right?
Here is style css of my wordpress theme with added bp style css (starts at line 2055)…
http://wklej.org/id/290756/
Can you please give my some small hint?
this may help a bit although it doesn’t give a clear answer to the problem apart from pointing the finger at an outdated plugin –> http://alwayswordpress.com/blogging/the-menacing-white-screen-of-death-with-wordpress
Then you may probably have to follow versluis’s advice above… that is to activate your other plugins one by one to find the culprit
Hi… Good idea. I will ask tech for the log file and go from there. This is annoying to say the least.. Oh, I also had no problem installing BP on another WP site with the same ISP.. weird or what!!!

@xp02ed
I’ve tracked down the root of the problem (at least in my case), it’s most likely that you server clocks are out of sync (timezones) between your system, php and mysql.
(This explanation might be wrong with exactly where times are pulled from, but is correct as to the fact that they’re pulled from different places!)
The bit that checks recently online users looks at the last activity entry in user_meta and checks for users logged in within the past 5 minutes. However, last_activity user meta is logged by wordpress using PHP gmdate, and when you search for the last activity in this widget, it uses MYSQL’s NOW() function. If your times are out of sync a user with last activity of <5 minutes will never happen.
Example:
In my local server, the times of last activity are being logged as GMT by WP (PHP). However, I’m in CET and mysql takes it’s timezone from the system (windows), so everyone no matter what was last “seen” by WP and BP at least an hour ago.
See below for more info on setting MySQL timezones
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/time-zone-support.html
I too could install it in my local system.
Did you try getting server logs from your hosting provider?
I got mine after requesting it from the tech support.
An addendum to my other post. I just installed BP on my local machine with no trouble. What could be going wrong with my hosting service I wonder?
Hi.. For what it is worth I had/am having the same trouble. I deleted BP files and have not bothered since. I never did get an answer that helped me with the problem…
Further to my above post
I installed buddypress v1.2.1 as a plugin to my wordpress v2.9.2 install wordpress was and is working fine on my server, this is running on windows home servers own internal server which is IIS 6 I think, my hp mediasmart server is running PHP v5.2.10.
The problem I am having is with the nav bar and links that buddypress adds to wordpress, all links goto the page that says The page cannot be found.
I have setup wamp on my desktop pc, on this i installed wordpress & buddypress and both work fine and as they should do, but installing buddypress to my wordpress install on my hp mediasmart server has problems it seems.
Any help on this will be greatfully received

Hi versluis,
Thank you for the reply. I couldn’t log on after activation, so I deleted the /buddypress/ directory.
(Later I found out just renaming bp-loader.php was enough)
I have all my plugins deactivated, but activating buddypress again displays the white screen.
Any other ideas?
But don’t you think this has something to do with the tables of BP not being created during the initial activation?
Thank you again.
@MrMaz I notice a bug under WordPress single install 2.9.2 with BP1.2.1 when the plugin is activated everything look to be fine if your role is set as administrator but if you are login as regular member and try to see someone member pages your are getting a blank page. I had to deactivate the plugin. Any idea?
I wonder if it’s a conflict with another plugin. Here’s what I would do:
Deactivate all other plugins, then re-activate BuddyPress with its default theme. See what happens. If that’s successful, activate your other plugins one by one to find the culprit.
If you can’t login to your site anymore, rename the BuddyPress folder in /plugins/ to something else for now to deactivate it.
Good luck!
Hi,
I am trying to install BuddyPress 1.2.1 on my WordPress 2.9.2 installation.
WP was working fine until I activated BuddyPress.
I get a blank page right after BuddyPress activation.
My errors log shows the following:
WordPress database error Table 'db_name.wp_bp_groups_members' doesn't exist for query SELECT..
WordPress database error Table 'db_name.wp_bp_notifications' doesn't exist for query SELECT ..
WordPress database error Table 'db_name.wp_bp_xprofile_data' doesn't exist for query SELECT ...
WordPress database error Table 'db_name.wp_bp_xprofile_fields' doesn't exist for query SELECT ...
WordPress database error Table 'db_name.wp_bp_xprofile_fields' doesn't exist for query SELECT ...
WordPress database error Table 'db_name.wp_bp_groups' doesn't exist for query SELECT id ...
WordPress database error Table 'db_name.wp_bp_groups_members' doesn't exist for query .
WordPress database error Table 'db_name.wp_bp_messages_recipients' doesn't exist for query ...
WordPress database error Table 'db_name.wp_bp_notifications' doesn't exist for query SELECT ...
I believe the activation process is unable to create the tables.
Is there any solutions/workarounds?
I was able to install WP 2.9.2 and BP 1.2.1 successfully on my local machine.
Thank you.
Hi,
I have a problem with send invites in group creation and group management.
I have a URL redirection to home page when I try to access here: http://www.mydomain.net/groups/group_name/send-invites/.
On the other hand I have a correct access to send invites function when I try http://www.mydomain.net/groups/group_name/send-invites.
I have no idea about this problem.
I work with WordPress MU 2.9.2 and BuddyPress 1.2.1. I’m using thi plugin: buddypress group document, buddypress multilingual, Sitepress(WPML Multilingual CMS).
Thanks in advance
Antonio
I’ve set up Buddypress 1.2.1 on WordPress MU 2.9.2. It is running on IIS6 with Mod_Rewrite Pro from Micronovae. PHP is 5.2.13 FastCGI 1.5 (also tested ISAPI version). WPMU has been running for more than a year.
I’m getting 404 errors in certain places with IE. The easiest way to replicate the problem is by clicking the “Create a Group” button. That links to http://fqdn/groups/create, which is supposed to redirect to http://fqdn/groups/create/step/group-details. However, if IE’s “Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages” is turned on (which is the default), a 404 error message is displayed. If you turn it off, it works correctly. If you go straight to the /groups/create/step/group-details URL it also works. It also happens with Firefox if you have the Google Toolbar installed, which also intercepts error messages.
Based on some Googling, there are other people with unexplained 404 errors, many running on IIS, and this might be the cause of their problems as well. I don’t know if this is specific to IIS, or if there is some other combination of settings that are causing it. I’ve talked to Micronovae and they say it isn’t related to URL rewriting.
Does anyone have any ideas? Obviously, telling everyone to turn off “Friendly HTTP Error Messages” or disabling toolbars is not a good option.
Thanks!
Version 1.1.8 has a bug with WordPress 2.9.2 with BuddyPress 1.2.1
Enabling this plugin disables buddypress profiles, which returns 404 on every member profile page.
I’m using custom member slug for my BP install, so please check if there’s conflict on your code with users with custom BP slugs. This is the only BP plugin I’m running aside from BP.
