Have you checked out BuddyPress Courseware? Should be what you’re looking for I think.

No. Only option would be to use WordPress multisite and allow users to create a blog/store
Hello all,
I managed to get it working. Although I still don’t know what the problem was. I uninstalled WordPress entirely from my server, then proceeded to re-install and go step-by-step through the process, using the same style.css as before, and it worked.
Ye’olde reboot solution!
Cheers.
BuddyPress is no different from WordPress in this regard. You just need to add a sidebar to your header.php. Google “how to add sidebar to wordpress”
Do a Google search for “modify WordPress admin bar”.
yeah but how would I make a small horizontal widget in there so that when we go to widgets in wordpress I would have this option to put something in the widget in the header?

I still don’t completely understand what you mean.
bbPress Site Wide favorites don’t appear in the profiles at all yet, they will in 1.6/2.1. Same with topics and replies that are posted from within wp-admin. It sounds silly, but I didn’t feel it right to trigger activity updates when posting in the dashboard while bbPress 2.0 was still new. So these are less bugs than they are unfinished features.
Mentions work, and appear in activity streams and trigger notifications. testbp.org runs a vanilla install of everything, and they work there without issue.
The database update is a prompt you see in your dashboard. If you don’t see the prompt, then there’s nothing that needs doing.
So if I am understanding correctly, topics made in the backend of wordpress for the sitewide forums will not show under the forums tab in the members section?
I have also created a topic directly on the sitewide forums, not in the backend, named introductions. However if I look under my profile, at forums: it says no topics found.
So somehow the topics created in sitewide forums do not show in the members pages.
Is this an unfinished feature or a bug?
Cause it’s kind of hard to keep track of the published topics right now.
No database connection. Please re-install your WordPress and make sure it is in working order before installing BuddyPress.

Then use a regular WP theme for the other blogs.
Re: avatars not showing in sublog
– That is an issue. There’s a fix that worked for some https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4252
(note: this is only part of the solution for me, I also want an entry which was made on the activity stream also as a wordpress comment…) — there is a plugin for that and i installed it and it worked for me…
i think the right one is “BuddyPress Activity Stream as Blog Comments”
google indexing my site does not make blog comments appear in the activity stream though…
@marutim Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your flare theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your flare theme folder in server, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
`
with the following:
`
<div id="precontent" class="”>
<div id="content" class="”>
<article id="post-” >
`
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
…
` or `
..
` to
`
`
where applicable, then move this to just right UNDER “ Just watch out when you do this in the /activity/index.php page.
Save files.
If you deactivate BP and create a blog/subsite from the backend, can you go to the newly created blog? If not, then you have to resolve the issue first at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite
in my case, it was resolved by letting google index the website, in settings – privacy.
No idea why, but now it works!
(note: this is only part of the solution for me, I also want an entry which was made on the activity stream also as a wordpress comment…)
Can you go to Appearance > Themes? If not, I would re-upload WordPress manually. If you created WP via webhost script — fantastico, softalicious, etc — then I suggest you start from scratch and install WP manually https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Install
If that doesn’t work, please start a new topic as this thread deals specifically with the Sahifa theme compatibility with BP.
I didnt understand much of your question but as per I understood it.
There are wordpress functions to know if the user is logged in or not and to know the current page.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in

Hope it helps 
@Paul,
If I get a WordPress user import/export plugin, what else should I be considering for the extra, missing profile data? Manual entry?
Thanks.
No, please don’t take it wrong.. I’m not expecting BuddyPress to be exactly what I want..
I’m new here and I’m not expecting much.. Please don’t feel like being forced by me or something like that..
I’m just interested in BuddyPress and very excited to know more about the concept of this special plugin.. I notice that BuddyPress is ‘more than just another WordPress plugin’.
Err…, so based on your answers, as you said, @modemlooper , can we conclude as below :
BuddyPress is ONLY aggregates WordPress content… but this plugin is not deeply integrated with WordPress content.
BuddyPress is sitting on WordPress CMS platform, without following how WordPress’ system in managing users and content.
BuddyPress plugin adds user relationships to WordPress, but that relationships has nothing to do with WordPress content and user management..”
(In my opinion, I’m just thinking that it should be great if in the future BuddyPress is more integrated with WordPress. But that’s just my opinion.. It’s only a feedback from me to this community.. that’s okay.. Just don’t take it wrong).
In your theme, you can use the is_user_logged_in() function to show content to only logged-in users.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in
Take a look at this, might do everything you need:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-hierarchy/
Note – It can have minor conflicts (mainly css, afaik) with other plugins.
Or you can use the
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/
I’ve used that api to create things like “Team Sheets” within a group / league.
You can do a lot with it, if you can program.
Yes, WP + BP users are the same. Yes to WP/BP profile data in different places.
As I’ve said in another thread of yours, admins can edit all BuddyPress information from the front-end of your site. The codex is probably as good as it gets unless someone’s written a blog post, or if you can find an old post on this forum.
It’s split like this because BuddyPress’ profile system is more powerful and therefore complicated than WordPress’, and it wasn’t possible to use the WordPress database tables for BuddyPress profile data.
I’m not aware of any existing plugins that do CSV import for BuddyPress profile information, or any that do BuddyPress profile export. If you’re just looking to import WordPress user data, there might be something on the WordPress.org plugins directory.
