@nickharambee Remove the BP Component Pages you want to make private from the custom menu https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/how-to-set-up-your-main-site-navigation-using-the-built-in-wordpress-menus/

Add the following to your theme’s or child theme’s functions.php file

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'mme_loggedin_only_links' );
function mme_loggedin_only_links($items) {
if (!is_user_logged_in())
return $items;
else
$ouractivity = '<li><a href="' . home_url('/') . 'activity' . '">' . __('Activity', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';
$ourmembers = '<li><a href="' . home_url('/') . 'members' . '">' . __('Members', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';
$ourgroups = '<li><a href="' . home_url('/') . 'groups' . '">' . __('Groups', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';

@phillymantis a guide to help you out http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2011/08/12/custom-post-types-comments-and-the-activity-stream-in-bp-1-5/

@michaeljdornan There are two plugins for multiple BP sites in one WPMultisite installation

1. BP MultiNetwork – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/ which requires WP MultiNetwork or Networks+

2. BuddyPress Multi-Network – http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-buddypress-multi-network-plugin-create-multiple-separate-social-networks-on-a-single-buddypress-install/ which you can use with Join Blog Widget plugin which you’ll find in the same site.

What versions of BP/WP did you upgrade from? You mentioned webpages from two years ago. If you upgraded from BP 1+/WPMU, then you have to upgrade major version by major version as in BP1.0+ to BP1.2/WPMU 2.9.1 to BP1.5/WP3.2.1 to BP1.5.5/WP3.3.2
WP versions download – https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/
BP versions download – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags

Just posting trac ticket you created https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4217

@gatoresg I know what you mean. You need to go through Step 3 of the BP Compatibility process https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/ and make the HTML structure of the BP template files compatible with your Leetpress theme like many other themes listed at the lower half of the webpage I linked to above.

@oklamokla – that theme has not been updated for some time and support for that theme has been dropped by the developers. You can use a WP theme and install the BP Template Pack plugin to go through the BP compatibility process. Check out the list of WP themes we’ve template-packed so far near end of the page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Not specifically BP, but on WP
Download Monitor – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/download-monitor/
Activity Monitor – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/threewp-activity-monitor/ or https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-activity/

@hellsailor you do not “move” to BuddyPress. BuddyPress is a WordPress plugin, so you add this plugin to your WordPress installation.

Installation

Why don’t you use the built in wordpress ids? If you view all users and hover over a user it will show the user ids. https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_userdata

Hi:
Sounds like you’ve got everything set up right. Do you have the “Disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing?” in BussyPress settings set to No? Once the WordPress registration page is pointed at the BuddyPress registration page, no one should have to register on both, and the option above should keep those registrations ‘in sync’.

You said:
“I have the buddypress register associated with the wordpress register page, but it still does not work.”

If you’ve done this within BuddyPress Page settings, you’re actually associating WordPress’s Registration and activation pages with BuddyPress. Not the other way around as you stated. Is this what you’ve done?

@mac02 check if we have “template-packed” your WP theme from list near bottom of https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Depending on the size of your userbase, you could make all the groups Hidden, then use the Invite Anyone plugin to manually invite (or have established group admins manually invite) the users who belong in each separate group. Don’t get thrown by the first bullet in the description of the plugin, in this instance the power of this plugin will be in your ability to invite people to a group even if you aren’t friends with them (bullet 2 in the description on the link below). Perfect if you are using the Followers plugin as well and have Friend Connections turned off:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-followers/

You need this plugin: http://etivite.com/wordpress-plugins/buddypress-restrict-group-creation/

@elangley sorry, I understated what was expected. For example, WordPress.com is a custom Multisite installation with around 35Million+ user blogs spread over several DB’s and supported by multiple paid topnotch frontend and backend developers, server admins, etc. Even if you would only have e.g. 100 Networks with WP Multi-Network and you’ve allowed user blogs in each Network and then go BP MultiNetwork, that would require a serious developer skills where making some changes in DB is just child’s play since by that time you’d have to use SharDB, HyperDB, or MultiDB to maintain, sustain and grow the Networks over several servers and DB’s.

In the Buddypress Settings menu, do you have the “Disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing?” set to “No”?
