There’s a new plugin that has just been released that allows you to highlight unread bbPress forum topics

Community = Social network
BuddyPress is a social networking script. The tagline of BuddyPress is “Social networking in a box”.
`If hierarchy is going to be pursued within one community, might as well tackle “across” multiple communities.`
Doesn’t make any sense. It’s akin to saying that if WordPress allows hierarchical pages on one site, might as well find a way to be able to add pages to CNN or ESPN.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-user-frontend/ is for editing posts, profiles, etc.It has got nothing to do with login form.
If you want a plugin solution, there are many to choose from https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/login
@awclubbock when you’re logged in, clicking on the register link will bring you to home page by default
As for invitation with code, the ones I’ve seen before haven’t been updated for current BP/WP lately. Check out other possible plugins for controlled registrations:
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-multiple-users/
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-user-registration-manager/
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-members/
I created a ticket that also shows a fix I have working in a child theme for this: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4535
Please post at plugin’s support forums https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/easy-digital-downloads click on Support Tab in between Stats and Developers tabs.
== It does appear this is a plugin issue wordpress is working great, however the plugin is not working, please contact the script developer for further assistance we will happily assist if server intervention is required. ==
@bounomid Your WP installation should be installed manually not via webhost scripts for BuddyPress to work without issues https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-and-server-requirements
hosting support team installed wp and checked it and new message from them

The code can be found in https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.1/bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php You could ask theme author how to add the login form code in the dynamix theme

@r-a-y I am sorry I was not more thorough when I was describing the issue but you hit the nail on the head anyway as to what I meant by hiding the fact we are using WordPress. I just think it would be great for security purposes. Thanks for your info, I am looking forward to the release of BP 1.7 If I can help in anyway then just ask! Thank you Ray!
Windows/Linux hosting/XAMPP or something else? Single or Multisite installation?
– Deactivate BuddyPress
– Download/installation may have been corrupted. So download the zip file of the BuddyPress plugin at https://buddypress.org/download/ or https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/ .Unzip in your computer and manually re-upload via FTP/cpanel/filemanager, etc to wp-content/plugins/
– Activate BuddyPress
You should be able to disable the admin bar for logged-out users in the WP admin area by navigating to “Settings > BuddyPress“, then click on the “Settings” tab.
If someone really wanted to find out if you were using BuddyPress, then it would be quite simple. I would take steps to try and hide the fact you were using WordPress first, then move down the ladder to BuddyPress later on.
About notifications without the admin bar, there are some third-party plugins available like:
http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-notifications-widget/ (a widget)
With BP 1.7, we’ll be adding universal theme compatibility, so we’ll be taking some steps to try and make life without the admin bar a little easier.
@anointed – The activity entry reply vs. edit was addressed here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4350
I tried to duplicate your problem on BP 1.7-bleeding and I can’t experience what you’re experiencing.
I edited a forum topic and the activity entry says “x edited the forum topic Y in the group Z”.
This is what I see when I edit a forum topic:

This is what I see when I edit a forum reply:
(Off-topic: should probably rename the h3 tag here to “Edit your forum reply in ‘New Topic'”)

If you’re using some plugins or you have modified your BP template files, this might also be contributing to your problem.
Edit: I see that you’re using bbPress trunk and not bundled bbPress. If you’re using bbPress v2.0 integration with groups, then that’s probably what’s causing the issue. Still some refining to do before everything gels with one another!
Ok, thanks again @mercime. The only consideration that I have is the fact that I want to get BP working on my sub-domain. If I can do that using 2 instances then I will leave everything alone. It just seemed as though you were saying that I had to enable multisite in order to make that possible. So if what I think you’re saying is correct I do not need to uninstall WP on the subdomain to create a multisite network, I just need to deactivate my plugins and then follow the instructions found here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network (?)
@obsidianmarketing 2 WP instances or 1 Multisite installation == it all depends on what kind of website you are running.
Example 1: I have 2 WP instances for an organization where the main site, http://www.example.com deals mostly with organization blog/news plus around 700 pages of general information. The subsite community.example.com is the private BP site on a second database.
Example 2: For another installation, it’s multisite and the information generated in the main site is from the user blogs.
== Since I already have WP installed on my sub-domain do I need to uninstall it on the sub-domain first? If so does that just mean that I will delete the folder that was created with the name of the sub-domain in the public_html folder? ==
Before you make any major changes to your installation, backup DB and server folders. If you believe that your organization will be better served with a multisite installation, then deactivate BuddyPress and create a network (make multisite) on example.com. Then you might want to import DB of subsite into DB of main site if you already have added a lot of information. In certain cases, you only need to import the XML export from your WP install in subsite.example.com
For more assistance should you go the multisite route, please go to https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite
Are you using an apache server ?
Do you have a htaccess file ?
Here are a couple of links that include info re htaccess:

@boonebgorges @djpaul In that case, any other ideas or plans for hierarchical groups, the way there are hierarchical pages in WordPress?
Nothing’s changed. BP bbPress and all other WP plugins have always been hosted at the WordPress.org plugin repository. BP.org with special script “gets” the plugins tagged with BuddyPress for https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/
@schwarzaufweiss plugins which are supposed to be compatible with BuddyPress are tagged as such in the WP Plugin Repository https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=buddypress
edit- djpaul, didn’t see your post. i took too long to post answer

I am not certain this is what you desire but check out my blog. I have code snippets that may help you. Read the post and you will understand the end result from the snippet. Have a great day and hope it helps!

I think this is a bug that was found when integrating bbPress 2.1 with Buddypress. If that’s the same problem, they are working on a fix for bbPress 2.2 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1906
Yeah I’m quickly learning that the buddypress and bbpress trunk is nowhere near as stable as the WordPress trunk. I’ve always run the WordPress svn trunk updated nightly for years now and have never had a problem.
@artxx on the link to profile page, you add the code yourself https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/adding-dynamic-link-to-main-menu-item/
Or use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/ if you’re using bp-default or child theme of the BP Default theme.
As for incorporating jQuery Edit in Place plugin with members’ profile pages, that’s beyond the scope of the forums. You’d either have to code it yourself and/or post it in jQuery forums or stackexchange.com where a volunteer may be available to assist you or hire a developer to do so.
