On multisite, all user registration is tunnelled through the same place. This is a standard WordPress behaviour. So yes, they’d see the BuddyPress registration templates.
Yes. Just put them into your theme, as you would on any WordPress-powered site.

? This was really just a bump, I don’t think any of that info matters. My question is more of a developers question.
You’ll probably need to upgrade your BuddyPress version for compatibility with the latest version of WordPress.
Unfortunately, a number of look / feel aspects typically change when you upgrade BuddyPress (particularly coming from a relatively old version). It often requires developer support to upgrade and retain your site’s design.
Some questions that will help you get further support:
What version of BuddyPress are you on / were you on previously?
Which ‘off the shelf’ theme (if any) are you using?
If bespoke theme – is it a child of another theme – which version?
@michaeljdornan best place to ask is at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-multi-network wpmuguru does answer forum questions
Having said that, you can try this plugin which I know works with the other BP MultiNetwork plugin by sbrajesh http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-join-blog-widget-for-wordpress-multisite/
For details on adding a search form to a page, check out this documentation on WordPress.org.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Search_Page
To add your page to the main nav menu, visit Appearance.. Menus in wp-admin and configure your menu.
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/how-to-set-up-your-main-site-navigation-using-the-built-in-wordpress-menus/
And finally, the other page you are seeing is just the standard 404 page (page not found), which contains a search form by default.
@ndugger I don’t know of a plugin that supports these permissions — so, you’d would need to get your hands dirty in the PHP code. I would suggest assigning WordPress user roles to members, and then in the group template files enabling / disabling the Join capability based on user role.
We (21inspired) have some plans with regard to photo albums, but they are a little way off.
it’s not a function itself… it’s a call to the do_action() function, passing ‘bp_after_sidebar_me’ as the parameter. The call is being made in sidebar.php in the bp-default template folder.
You can find these things by searching through a buddypress install in any good code editor / development environment.
do_action() itself is defined in the core WordPress files. In this case, do_action() will invoke any functions that you hook onto the bp_after_sidebar_me action.
I’m using a theme called Salutation, and I used the workaround discussed here: https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/developer-and-designer-information/ under “Member settings pages are blank”
This worked, but there’s no CSS / HTML formatting, everything is just stacked on top of each other. It seems as if it just needs a page template to feed off of in order to display correctly. Is there some way I can point the BuddyPress settings files to my WordPress settings page or vice versa?
@frank13 — there is no specific script for a do_action ( ‘abc123’ );
You have to register functions (hooks) that are invoked by the do_action — check out these pages from the WordPress Codex for more information on programming actions: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API
@ploupas On the theme end, Mystique is version 2.5.7 in the WP theme repo. https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/mystique. Based on scan of its current page.php, my instructions above still hold.
== I can’t seem to save/change the Page Attributes of the BuddyPress created pages. ==
It’s because you can’t do that at this time @blinkybill01.
BP pages are using the BP template files transferred during the compatibility process, the very same files we’re going to revise here.
== Also, I’ve noticed that with the most recent WordPress update, I’ve been getting more and more 406 errors. Is this something I should contact my hosting company about? ==
Haven’t encountered those errors yet. Yes, you should contact your webhost since 406 errors are usually related to suhosin security extension or Apache mod_security and the like.
To learn about template files in WordPress, your best starting point is the WordPress docs: https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
If you want just a list of your Pages then Roger’s suggestion is easiest.
Study this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_pages
You can also try increasing your PHP memory (as indicated by the error message you’ve received)… you should then be able to run BuddyPress without problem on your site.
There are many ways to increase PHP memory (including some specific to WordPress)… please have a Google to find those.
@likeitordont
It sounds like you want to create a directory page for all the pages on your site… is that correct?
The BuddyPress directories only exist for BuddyPress components like groups, members, etc.
The pages on your site are just standard WordPress pages. If you want to create a directory page that lists them all, you would need to write your own template file with a custom WP_Query loop that just returns pages, or perhaps use a WordPress API function to return all pages.
For more information on how to do this, you should visit the documentation on WordPress: https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
delete the BuddyPress folder from plugins to get to admin
Hi Venkatesh,
most of buddypress content is generated by wordpress. So the Media settings can give you what you need.
That said, where do you want a video upload possibility ? And what king of videos ? Yours orfrom users, or some videotube service ?
Take a look at this — you get the information from the basic WordPress user data:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-registration-date
Remember to replace the user ID appropriately in the function I give
I solved this by editing the database information in the bb-config.php which is located in your WordPress root folder. The web host had used a script to edit the database information automatically in wp-config.php but the old database details remained in bb-config.php. Now all of my old forum posts are visible again.
@mercime, I found something interesting…
So I created a page called “test”. While I was creating the page, I noticed in the Page Attributes that there are three options: Default Template, BuddyPress – Activity Directory, and Sidebar Template.
When I saved as Activity Directory, the page showed up like my members page with the sidebar under the content. When I saved as Sidebar Template, the sidebar showed up correctly like it does on the homepage. When I tried to save as Default Template, I got a 406 error.
Is my thinking wrong that when BuddyPress created the members pages, it saved them as Default Template as it had no way of knowing that there were options for the page saves?
The even more strange part is when I go into the BuddyPress created Members Page, I can save as Sidebar Template and BuddyPress – Activity Directory, but no matter what it’s saved at, it doesn’t change. The looks of the design stays the same. (Also, I think that the “default template” is just the Activity Directory template.)
So, I have no clue on what to do. I can’t seem to save/change the Page Attributes of the BuddyPress created pages.
Also, I’ve noticed that with the most recent WordPress update, I’ve been getting more and more 406 errors. Is this something I should contact my hosting company about?
Thanks.

@matax91 are you using PHP 5.4 by any chance? Then check out if solution provided in following link works out for you https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4191
Hello Mercime,
Thanks for your input. As I stressed, I was trying to give constructive criticism. I meant no harm!
I work with DVD/BD authoring, and FCP editing – this is where I can help out others (and I do. Also very generously. And I do know all about the way forums work 
). In this area I’m relying on others, and as our support guy was out of reach, I had a very critical breakdown situation on my hands yesterday.
It didn’t make sense to me, that Roger spent time writing that I shouldn’t make identical threads, without at least – in the same post? – writing a line in response to me having followed his original advice. Anyone could probably tell that this double thread was a desperate action on my behalf, for which I apologized promptly.
I’ve been very careful trying to describe what I have on my hands here – If you read my first post, you’ll see that I can’t access the admin panel (so I CAN’T change to default theme!). And if you read the posts after Rogers input, you’ll see that deleting the buddypress plugin didnt help – in other words I still cant access my admin panel. And the entire wordpress site is down.
I respect everyones time! I value (very highly!) what I get from any forum! And I give knowledge back (in my field of expertise)! In this case it seems that because I offended someone, I was excluded. Everyone makes mistakes. I was corrected. And I stated my opinion about forum behaviour.
I’m in over my head. And getting more frustrated by this forum. I thank you for your time – I do appreciate your help. But I’m gonna have to wait for my support guy to return. Thanks.
Ok it does give help on the knowledge base about a rewrite script. I don’t exactly understand what I’m rewriting as I’m a bit of a newbie to it all – is the modrewrite script important?
It tells me to create a file called rewrite.script in the web folder and enter my code and it shows this:
`#Zeus webserver version of basic WordPress mod_rewrite rules
map path into SCRATCH:path from %{URL}
look for file at %{SCRATCH:path}
if exists then goto END
look for dir at %{SCRATCH:path}
if exists then goto END
##### FIX FOR LOGIN/FORGOTTEN PASSWORD/ADMIN ETC #####
match URL into $ with ^/wp-.*$
if matched then goto END
##### FIX TO ALLOW SEARCH TO WORK #####
match URL into $ with ^/(.*)
set URL = /index.php/$1`
Do you know if I simply copy this code or am I supposed to modify it for myself?
