The page at https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-multi-network/ states
Multiple WP networks can be created with either:
▪ WP Multi Network
▪ Networks+
I use Networks +.
There may also be other combinations of plugins that may work.
Googling “wordpress”, “buddypress” “multi-network” or “multinetwork” should be sufficient to come across the few others that may fall into these categories – such as Networks for WordPress at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/networks-for-wordpress and BuddyPress Multi Network at http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-multi-network/ .
Examining all of the them as well as studying their support forums would be useful in making a decision on which combination to use for your particular requirements.
Given that a multi-network plugin will essentially hold the entire show together I would venture that it is well worth the research you are now undertaking.
Just to be perfectly clear, I am an open source enthusiast but I am not an open-source absolutist though some are and are perfectly entitled to be.
If something works, saves hours of time when compared with other items, is supported and is reasonably priced I will use it (when my budget allows) and will say so.
But, I can only vouch for what I know works.
I can only vouch for, in this case the plugin I cited above, and the continuous free support over a number of years, which comes from recognised top class developers.
This support alone should ordinarily have cost many $X,00s, bringing the price of said plugin deep into negative figures – i.e considerably less than free.
Hi @jgob
These questions are not related to BP specifically, rather, they apply to WordPress generally. Whilst the guys here may be able to help, you may have more joy asking over at wordpress.org
Activation and registration are WordPress dependant and are not only “BP components”. These pages may not be created automatically, depending your WP settings… But according to the error message, you have now to create them.
I understand that you are a bit confused, as you’re in a discovery phase of BuddyPress.
But you should also understand that i can’t explain step by step the whole Codex (WP & BP!).
I guess you have to read the doc very attentively. Searching the forum or simply reading some topics will also help you to understand how all this is working.
Install first correctly WP and BP and use one of the Twenty theme, the time for you to learn a bit more. Once you’re comfortable with WP & BP, start your theme development.
The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activate, Register. Repair
means that you haven’t installed correctly this 2 BP’s component pages. Read here to understand how this works:
Configure BuddyPress
BP 2.x is compliant with almost any theme. bp-default theme is no more used and only there for backwards compatibility.
Templates are in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/
I’ve taken a look at https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/ but don’t see any mention of templates for activation and registration.
I’m building a theme from scratch using roots which has the templates:
- index.php
- 404.php
- base.php (this is a theme wrapper which injects header, footer etc)
- single.php
- page.php
In the WP dashboard I see the error:
The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activate, Register. Repair
Where can I find some more info on required theme templates and how to create a registration / activation template?
Hi@mmaccou the issue is related to trigger(content) used in js only as far as i remember may be this thread comes handy for you,btw which version of buddypress and wordpress you are using i hope its latest one.
Thanks
If you want help, you must give details: about what you did and how, theme name,…
That said, the Toolbar belongs to WordPress.
Some ideas here:
Remove WordPress Admin Bar CSS
Quick Tip: Override WordPress Toolbar Styles
BuddyPress use only a few and very minimalistic CSS. See at the end of /bp-templates/bp-legacy/css/buddypress.css for some styles applying to smartphones.
buddypress version : BuddyPress 2.1.1
wordpress version :WordPress 4.1

pagination is not working on the post at home page. I tried WP-PageNavi plugin for the pagination and even buddypress function for pagination both of them is not working . please help me out if somebody knows. .
Yes, I spent quite a lot of time in the past coding in php/mysql, but never did anything in wordpress before. So I’m fine with digging around php code, and know what to look for if I can just get to the file which has the menu setup. I have done a little bit of editing; you can see on my site now if you log in, you get a few more things happening than usual for the login widget.
I reposted this question here .
Thanks again for the help on the main question!
Ok, you’re in an intense learning stage ! 😉 But i’m affraid i can’t help you to do this.
– the theme used on this support is a custom work and doesn’t exist for public.
– for other questions, yes, it is better to ask one question by topic.
– googling around “wordpress toolbar tricks, customization” bring very helpfull result. But if php is not your cup of tea, i would recommend you to not try to modifiate it.
Rome wasn’t made in one day.
Reading this forum is a good starting point to learn how BP work’s.
You’re question is more server oriented and a bit over the scope of this support. Anyway….
You can put different tables in different db on the same server, but how are you going to make WordPress aware of where each table is ?
In standart usage, multisite with BuddyPress is working with one WP, one DB and one BP plugin and as many sites you want (preferably as sub-domains).
To manage multiple db’s, try perhaps HyperDB.
Can’t help you more. Sorry. 😉
ok so here it go’s i hope you guys can help me here.
i have 6 dedicated servers that are gonne run 49 sites with buddypress. i have one dedicated server thats gonne run the mysql databases.
Now here is my problem , how do i connect all buddypress installations to read out of one database for the user accounts , so that the user accounts are shared on all sites.
i would like to use the wordpress multisite to admin it all so i think i will install a multisite. the 6 servers are connected togheter , that is something that i was able to do with plesk , the run as one big one.
i need seperate databases for contents of the sites , and 1 database where the users logins is handled.
please can somebody help me on this large project , i am realy stuck here ..
All servers run on Centos 6 & Plesk
Thanks so much Dan — I really appreciate the response. Eventually I will be doing things the way you suggest, but I have a custom architecture for a learning site that I’m transitioning to WordPress over the next six months. There are dozens of pages and interdependencies which I’m cleaning up, so I’ve decided to do the integration in stages since it will take time.
I can write some custom db code to grab the information from the appropriate xprofile table, but I was hoping to not fully reinvent the wheel as you suggested. At this point, I’ve probably spent more time trying to use the bbpress functions than it would have take to write my own db function 🙂
I think the issue is that bp-xprofile-loader.php hasn’t been called yet, which is where those values get defined. So it seems that bbpress gets loaded but not fully initialized until somewhere later in the code. Maybe when the templates load or wp() is called.
Thanks again…really appreciate your time and the sensible response.
Hello All,
Is there any plugin in wordpress for creating Company Page Profile like in LinkedIn and facebook have.
I want to integrate that type of functionality in my buddypress site for my all users.
Please suggest me.
Thanks in advance.
Try bp multi network https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-multi-network/ AND Networks + from http://wpebooks.com/networks/
Networks+ is a “premium” (small) plugin written by one of the authors of bp-multi-network and numerous (about 30) other plugins in the WordPress repository and it is fully supported.
Using buddypress and bbpress together with those two plugins you will be able to have separate communities with separate activity streams, forums, groups and blogs all in one wordpress installation and in one database. Membership is shared.
There may be other combinations of plugins that may work. The combination above does work.
I use the plugin “custom admin bar” to do this ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-admin-bar/ ) (with a wp/bp site)
There are a ton of admin bar plugins in the wp plugin repo – certainly a few of them can handle this without getting into code?
Thank you. I went through the second round! installed even the one mentioned above
confronted “do not have associated wordpress pages” problem
searched for help and came up with https://buddypress.org/support/topic/do-not-have-associated-wordpress-pages/
It all sounds very complicated to me. Is there somewhere a clear HOWTO to install this.
I have deactivated and deleted the plugin.(all sorts of spams including viagra!! were present on the pages)
cleartalk blocked 80 spams! Thankfully I installed the spam blocker on time
Tempera theme was recently updated and normally you haven’t to use the old buddybar.
So the define is of no utility… (see ticket)
BP use now the WordPress Toolbar.
It looks also that you have 2 activity pages, 2 members page and 2 groups page. There should be only one. See if you have deleted pages, and clear the trash.
Also set up the pretty permalinks (anything but default), or at least re-save that setting page.
Finally, make a test with one of wp’s default theme, bring anything to work, before activating Tempera.
I use another theme of the same author, and if like i suspect, there is the same theme customization tool in Tempera, you must be carefull with that theme settings.
In BP settings, you have an option to show/hide the toolbar to logged out user. Deactivate it.
And read the theme doc attentively ! 😉
Dear Buddies
I’m running (trying to) wordpress 4.1 with buddypress 2.1.1.
My wordpress runs in multisite subdomain mode.
I have read exhaustively, and the issue I’m having now seems to have been an issue of between 2 and 3 years ago – I haven’t seen posts from this year on this topic. Trying the old solutions have not solved my problem (outlined below):
1. On the left hand side, the wp toolbar appears to be overwriting the buddybar – clicking login takes one to the wp-admin page rather than a buddypress type login
2. The registration appears to be correct, but when one registers and logs in, the option to log in or register still appears in this bar
3. On the right hand side, even without logging in, there is a dropdown menu which allows one to visit a random member or a random group
4. I don’t think the items in the bar described above that is showing now are when I’m supposed to be seeing – in other words, I don’t think this is what buddy bar is supposed to be. I do get a buddybar in the wp-admin page which I think is more like what it is supposed to look like.
To answer the usual questions, yes, I have enabled user registrations (well, in multisite mode, I just used the last option, which is for all users to register, and they can register any sites); I have also include the following lines in the wp-config.php file:
define('BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR', false );
My website is vibral.co.za if you want to try it out.
This has taken up a lot of time and I would sincerely appreciate any help in getting this sorted.
Thanks in advance

Nothing is so ugly as a community in which all members use the default avatar. We want new members require use of an avatar. This must be uploaded during registration. Who knows a solution?
BuddyPress Version: 2.1.1
WordPress Version 4.1
If your theme supports WordPress menus then you can use this approach.
