thats where bugs feature suggestions and the like are kept track of:

@web503 confirmed bug and posted ticket https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5014

@lorimercer re groups in admin area the issue is being addressed in trac starting with this ticket https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4977

but I can’t get the “Create Group” button to show

@gebgem the page title is missing as well. Looking at the Sample Page of your site, there was no page title added to the theme’s page.php file at all.

BuddyPress will provide another link/way for users to easily create a group/blog via user account menu in admin/toolbar in next version https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7062 but the page title issue should be fixed by theme developer.

@shanbp … thanks for the link reference. I’m adept at WordPress customization but the missing sidebar was a puzzle.

@naturalworldstm BuddyPress uses your theme’s page.php file for Theme Compatibility. If the page title, the_title() , is not within the WordPress Loop, then you won’t see the “Create Blog” nor “Create Group” buttons as well as the Nice Names.

will that be the one that is integrated in the future?

@famous scope of BP 1.8 https://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2013/04/25/buddypress-1-8-scope-and-timetable/ and group blogs are not in it

Know that the group blogs plugin I referred to above is the plugin of choice for Group Blogs for “Commons in a Box”, a project of Boone Gorges, one of our Lead Developers.

To change the output, use the filter hook in
bp-groups-template.php -> bp_get_groups_pagination_count()

return apply_filters( 'bp_get_groups_pagination_count', sprintf( __( 'Viewing group %1$s to %2$s (of %3$s groups)', 'buddypress' ), $from_num, $to_num, $total ) );

You can’t override functions unless they are pluggable.

@famous needs https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/

@asnakea3 @bphelp a good example of BuddyPress working with a WordPress theme is http://testbp.org It’s using the upcoming Twenty Thirteen theme (availabe in WP 3.6 beta 3).
Other examples of BP-powered sites:

http://www.bpinspire.com/

I do empathize with your frustration, but this is not the way to go about getting help with your installation issues.

@asnakea3 At this stage, I’d recommend deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and changing to BP Default theme or the Twenty Twelve theme. Clear cache and check registration.

I went back to the original answer found here
http://buddydev.com/support/forums/topic/wp-search-results-page-kills-bp-member-widgets/

At this time, I do have the code working so that a wordpress search doesn’t wipe out buddypress member widgets and all the other functionality works on the members directory page too.

Here was my solution:
In bp-members-template.php, I remarked out lines 305-311 and replaced them with

if ( !is_search()&&isset( $_REQUEST['s'] ) && !empty( $_REQUEST['s'] ) )
        $search_terms = $_REQUEST['s'];

So I’m back to the question/concern of 4 or so hours ago. I don’t feel that modifying core code is ever a good idea. Has anyone come up with a better way to solve this that makes it more durable when plugin updates are applied?

@bp-help

Here’s BuddyPress Follow: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-followers/

Here’s my new scope code again: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/ive-figured-out-how-to-create-a-facebook-style-wall-but/

I should point out that I need a way to apply the scope selectively, rather than universally i.e. I want both a normal site wide activity stream and a Facebook-style wall.

I failed to mention BuddyPress is dependent on WordPress. You can’t use BuddyPress without having an installation of WordPress. BuddyPress is a social networking/niche community plugin for WordPress. 🙂

Here you go @peterjhead. This should do the trick 🙂

Hope this help

you could approach the dev himself

@mahdiar didn’t know wordpress.com was blocked in your country. Found the page.php file for Complete Theme. Please confirm that the source code of your page.php file is the same as the one posted at http://pastebin.com/wnfS1Gky If so, I’m thinking that it’s more likely a plugin conflict – e.g. “javascript to footer” plugin and/or the gallery plugin which might be using an older version of jquery, etc.

Before looking around for other themes, change to Twenty Twelve, a responsive theme which has been tested quite thoroughly with BuddyPress 1.7+. If BuddyPress doesn’t work on Twenty Twelve in your installation, then I doubt BP will work on other WP themes in you server.

Are all styles overloading or just some? If just some it could be forcing styles through.
Are you also using BuddyPress 1.7.2 (or 1.7.x)?

However, if it’s all then can you check if the theme has this line in it:

add_theme_support( 'buddypress' );

If no, then can you try with another theme just to see if it’s Avenue that’s being grumpy? Maybe something like the default WordPress Twenty-Twelve would be a nice test theme.

@ljmac
This thread was out prior to the plugins release but now I actually find BuddyPress Activity Privacy plugin by @megainfo a more flexible option because it give users a choice as to who see’s their activity. Check it out:
