Create a custom menu in dashboard/appearance/menus then just leave out the members menu item.

Why do yo search in 1.2 RC ?

Since a few hours, BP is RC1 for 1.7 version.

If you use the latest stable upgrade, search better here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.5

@fede1, as you activated bbPress and allowed group forums, bbPress will use the bp template (out of the box, it’s bp-default). So i wonder witch template you really want to activate ?

Maybe read this: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-edit-bbpress-template-files-wordpress-buddypress-bbpress/
and ask also on the bbPress Forum.

There are a couple options.

BP-Media by rtCamp takes all user uploads and places into the Media Library. The plugin is okay, but had some issues with our Theme. It’s free with premium modules available for video transcoding.

The plugin you want probably is BP-Gallery from Buddydev. This is NOT BP-Gallery plus from the wordpress.org site. BP-Gallery has a centralized gallery page that shows uploads from all accounts on one page you specify in the buddypress pages settings like you do activity/register/activate/etc.. It is a premium plugin that costs $30 to access, but of all the media plugins I’ve found it has caused the least number of headaches. The biggest problem I had was changing a few lines of a code to better match our theme, but it was fairly painless.

@fpats, normally, you don’t have to use the template pack with 1.7

So far i know there was a bug in 1.7 beta concerning this point. (https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4897)
Reload BP from trunk, it’s now in RC1 version

@charlietech
What exactly do you mean by a facebook cover? Do you mean a landing page? If so try this tutorial by Patrick Cohen:
http://wpmu.org/how-to-build-a-facebook-style-members-only-wordpress-buddypress-site/

hello friends .I have a question
this plugin is not working on my wordpress page
please help me out….thanku…

I’ve read this is to do with the template pack which i need at the moment

@fpats it only has to do with the template pack if you already have a BuddyPress-ready theme. It also happened in older versions of BP were not upgraded to compatible WordPress version. So what are your WP/BP versions? What theme are you using? Have you tried deactivating other plugins to see which is causing the issue (WPML perhaps?) ?

i don’t think using the wordpress css editor would be the way to create that file normally you would use some other text editor i typically use dreamweaver.

Each time I assign a Blog Posts page in the Reading setting, that page is not found when accessing through the main menu

@discdemo You have to create the page first. And Settings > Reading with the blog page you created is associated with having a static front page. https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page

Or, if you just want a page with latest blogs listed, see http://www.nathanrice.net/blog/creating-a-blog-page-with-paging/ Note that when copy/pasting code from the article, remove the spaces between `<` and `?` as well as between `?` and `>`

for point b see: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4622#comment:8 and http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/66204/showing-the-users-username-in-registration-email-or-activation-page-with-buddyp

@mkhaled conflict with theme using jQuery 1.6.2 while WordPress/BuddyPress are on jQuery 1.8.3
Please contact theme author

@unsalkorkmaz may I make a suggestion: please do not update your theme until it has been synced with WordPress Extend Themes. Otherwise, you’d have to wait for another 7 days max before the theme’s live at WP.org
