BuddyPress.org

Use WordPress a page template and hard code a BuddyPress group loop in the page template. Create a WordPress page in the admin. You do the same thing when you created those pages when you install BuddyPress. BuddyPress just overrides the page that gets loaded with it’s own template which is why you don’t have to create the page template yourself.

simple, just go to your dashboard with wordpress and go to menu section then deselect the tabs you don’t need from the menu you have. or if you don’t have any menus you can create your custom menu from there. if you have any future questions let me know at: raminrahim@hotmail.com I am intermediate with wp/bp. we all help each other in this forum.

I think I may have found a solution to the multi-network problem that is pretty simple. It is to make multiple WP+BP installations but to use this trick,

https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Custom_User_and_Usermeta_Tables
http://codegarage.com/blog/2009/04/using-a-custom-user-table-share-users-between-two-wordpress-installs/
http://xentek.net/articles/528/implementing-the-wordpress-shared-users-table-trick/

to share users. So you will have N installations but all using the same user database. Has anybody every tried this for BP?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-reviews/ – copies plugin groups here but not sure whether it’s working for current BP version

Also, check out https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/how-to-edit-group-meta-tutorial/ and https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/groups_get_groupmeta/

Plugin using WP’s native custom menus https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/

Hi Shane,
by secondary blog I mean a sub blog that you create using the wordpress multisite.

You don’t need to install multiple wordpress. Just install wordpress Multisite.
here are more details on enabling WordPress multisite.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

Yes, there are many plugins to do so but I personally prefer Social login, sharing and commenting plugin loginradius-for-wordpress. This works like a charm and with all the features of social login, sharing and commenting along with user profile data available in one. I recommend it to all and also a thumbs up to their excellent support too

Hi,
I think that this link will help you. Have a look at this http://wpmu.org/how-to-build-a-facebook-style-members-only-wordpress-buddypress-site/

Hi Shane,
You can install buddypress on secondary blog and use it as private network.

Here are some details on configuring BuddyPress on secondary network
https://codex.buddypress.org/users/getting-started/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/

and you can use any of the wordpress privacy plugin to make this network private.
Hope that helps.

hello,
i would try to mix a part of the post-avatar plugin and a bit of code as explained here:
http://hungred.com/how-to/customize-wordpress-avatar-filter-hook/
or perhaps tweaking this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-avatars-for-comments/

Not aware of any tools to export BuddyPress data out of WordPress yet, unfortunately, other than a SQL export from the database.

Hi,

It’s hard to see what you are so a link would be very helpful. However, one site isn’t the same as another. What I would recommend would be to make sure before you install BuddyPress you have a ‘clean slate’ in sense of turn off all other plugins and make sure you on activating BuddyPress have the default BuddyPress theme (just at the start).

If you could however if that doesn’t work, respond with what version of WordPress you are using and a link then perhaps more can be offered as help. Otherwise, unfortunately it’s hard to say what your situation is.

If we had a time machine to go back to 2007/08, and build BuddyPress using custom post types and custom taxonomies — which weren’t usable until 2010 — we probably would.

The core team talk regularly about how BuddyPress stores data and we may move to using post types or taxonomies in the future. We’ve also directly solicited feedback from the community about this issue in the past, so be sure to check out http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2012/03/05/custom-post-types-yesno/

This is what happens when Open Graph markup is not on a web page. You’re right to try plugins that provide Open Graph for WordPress, but I’m not aware of any plugins that provide Open Graph for the BuddyPress-specific pages.

You will need to create a tab:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/6719/buddypress-adding-a-new-tab-in-groups

And then you will need to create an input field to populate the tab:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-add-fields-to-group-creation-with-group-extension-api-please-read/

Note that I have never done this, but hopefully those links will point you in the right direction.
