== If I can’t do that, then Buddypress isn’t going to work for me. I’m a newbie when it comes to wordpress and php ==
@naimickmac23 there’s no BP plugin at this time that does that for the Activity Stream. It is do-able but you’d either have to code it yourself or hire a developer to do so. This can be do-able as well without BuddyPress, as neononcom mentioned above you could set up a form where users can post the required fields. If you need assistance with these forms, do post at the WordPress forums.
@neononcon you can make an enhancement request at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket
I suggest that you also post at https://wordpress.org/tags/buddypress-activity-plus?forum_id=10

“Nivo Slider for WordPress” is compatible up to WP 3.2.1 so might as well find other Nivo plugin.
As for BP Corporate theme, it probably needs to be upgraded. If you’re adventurous:
a. backup your BP Corporate Theme
b. Install/activate Theme Check plugin and when you check the theme, you might find issues which might include instructions on how to resolve such.
c. After b) Install/activate Log Deprecated Notices plugin. Go to front end and click on a few links. Then go to wp-admin Tools > Deprecated Notices and check issues in theme, if any.
Okay. deactivating everything and re-uploading BuddyPress and activating bp-default cleared out the basic problems so that it worked as expected. Then I found 2 things that individually break the Members pages. One is the BP Corporate theme (MAJOR part of even considering building the site in the first place). The other is the plugin for “Nivo Slider for WordPress” which is killing me since this was one of the best and brightest plugins on the site for the client. 
Recommendations?
I am getting the error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 7680 bytes) in /data/19/2/23/83/2675083/user/2937305/htdocs/grundycounty/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php on line 950
So I went to: https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP
It says to:
Increasing memory allocated to PHP
Also released with Version 2.5, the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT option allows you to specify the maximum amount of memory that can be consumed by PHP. This setting may be necessary in the event you receive a message such as “Allowed memory size of xxxxxx bytes exhausted”.
This setting increases PHP Memory only for WordPress, not other applications. By default, WordPress will attempt to increase memory allocated to PHP to 32MB (code is at beginning of wp-settings.php), so the setting in wp-config.php should reflect something higher than 32MB.
WordPress will automatically check if PHP has been allocated less memory than the entered value before utilizing this function. For example, if PHP has been allocated 64MB, there is no need to set this value to 64M as WordPress will automatically use all 64MB if need be.
Please note, this setting may not work if your host does not allow for increasing the PHP memory limit–in that event, contact your host to increase the PHP memory limit. Also, note that many hosts set the PHP limit at 8MB.
Increase PHP Memory to 96MB
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’96M’);
I went into my wp-Config.php file and put this code: define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’96M’);
into the end of the wp-config.php. I am still having an issue. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Can we keep things civil please, and on topic.
Agree that this error message should be improved. If you can make a patch, please submit it to https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
BuddyPress wouldn’t be affecting this at all. Try the wordpress.org forums.
when i login in site at top bar i saw that error it saw bp-members-notifications.php on line 76
i used latest version of buddypress and also use buddypress activity plus and in wordpress version 3.3.2 and wordpress theme is huddle but i can’t understand that error i also modify that file also but still sawing problem and that wise i can’t handle the theme file widget i can’t access the any widget to modify or change it so anyone who help me ???
The one who creates the group is the Group Admin. So the easiest way to set up what you want would be to copy bp-default theme’s group-header.php file from https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.5/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/group-header.php into your child theme folder following the directory structure.
Open up group-header.php and change
`
`
to
`
`
and save file.
As it turns out, it was the Add link to facebook plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-link-to-facebook/) causing the issue. Activity streams started working fine as per usual after disabling the plugin.
Again, thanks a lot for the great support!
Well thanks a bunch – maybe we should all bow out and leave things to mercim then as no one else has ever contributed any help on the forum 
Hi Jason
Goodluck with your quest. BTW I like green!
I setup my WP site with BuddyPress around 12 months ago & I still do not have BuddyPress working as I want it!! This is very frustrating for me. I have not had great help on this site here except from Mercime who is helpful.
I am though determined to get BuddyPress going as I want with my WordPress site because I am stubborn! It is very tempting to use alternative php forum software. There are a few good ones around which you can add to your site & say bye bye to BuddyPress hassles & problems etc.
Anyway keep me posted on how you get along & maybe we can help each other on this?
Best wishes 
In effect, you changed the site url/moved WP, I hope you backed up DB and server files before moving
– https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL specifically https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database
– https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
In some cases, the issue would be resolved by adding this to your wp-config.php file
`define( ‘WP_HOME’,’http: //mysite.com’ );
define( ‘WP_SITEURL’,’http: //mysite.com’ );`
change http://mysite.com to your actual domain name
Thanks for the reply. I hope 1.6 is released soon. I do appreciate the work that so many put in. WordPress is my favorite so far. The dedication and participation you all have is rare and admirable.
@mercime: Thanks… change set 3654 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3654 looks interesting.
This is a major and awesome step in the right direction. Especially adopting the buddypress extension APIs. Excellent work !!! Now I need to figure what is needed to check it out.
3654 looks like it supports multiple forums per group. It looks like it also supports shared forums across groups.
I didn’t see anything to define a ‘preset’ list of forums on enable or group create.
Being able to define forums private to groups so they can’t be shared would be very useful, at least to remove clutter when you have many groups with 3-4 forums each.
It looks like forums can be part of categories (as a parent).
@neodjandre – The way the feature works is somewhat deceptive, what it does is posts a message on the screen (rather than their inbox) similar to what facebook does here – https://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/facebook-groups-news-feed-error-message.png and it requires the template tag:
`
`
As seen in the default theme sidebar – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php#L26
@o4tuna the way buddypress works in regards to roles and capabilities is being worked on by the core devs, half of it will be implemented in 1.6. Trac: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3740
There’s only one Group Forum per Group with no hierarchy. As for Sitewide Forums (the bbPress plugin), these forums are not associated to groups at all at this time. It’s in the roadmap to refactor/migrate Group Forums to Sitewide Forums @ BP 1.6. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3598
1. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/ go to page links on the right sidebar and read them
2. Albums/Galleries
a. BP Album/BP Media – free
b. BP Gallery – premium
Pinterist https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/pinterest – but none that I know specifically for the Albums/Galleries listed above.though you could make a request with plugin developer
3. User Blogs – you need to “Create a Network” i.e., make it Multisite
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! got damn we found a plugin that made the trick.
URL REWRITE 2.0
Found it on this link : http://www.amixa.com/blog/2011/01/07/wordpress-windows-2008-web-server-r2-iis-7-5-setup/
But ofcourse i run into a new problem , Now i have to make the email function work
Thanksfor the help so far!

So, i have to enable cookies on the server side? I’m using IIS7, so in IIS7 somewhere i have to enable cookes for wordpress?
`I wish there was more written about what buddypress can do and what the end result will look like. I don’t like the examples in the showcase because they don’t even remotely look like the buddypress that I have. I would love to see a very plain skeleton example of what buddypress does and how to set up a basic forum.`
BuddyPress has a test demo site [http://testbp.org] which will show you what it can do out of the box without doing any extra coding. The only way i can think of to put the end result into words is “It gives you a social network out of the box” (which is already on the BuddyPress.org homepage)
I’d highly recommend reading the Getting started pages on the codex https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/ go to page links on the right sidebar and read them
`For instance what is the difference between a forum and a post. They look exactly alike in the dashboard.`
As BuddyPress is an extension of WordPress, and is designed for WP users, is defining Blog Post and Forum Post necessary? I think your concern may be better at WordPress.org/forums as BuddyPress doesn’t define the word themselves, WordPress does.
`You can’t start a group because there are no topics.`
Are you using a plugin that makes topics a prequisite for starting a group? That’s not the way it works out of the box from my experience.
`Wouldn’t it be nice to have a little welcome page saying, “Here’s how to set up your buddypress forums. First you create a few groups. Then add topics to each group. You can’t add this until you add that so start with this.
I just want an overview so that I can know if I’m doing something wrong or if there is a problem with the software when I can’t add a forum or don’t see my topic.`
Seems you’ve already figured it out. As an open source project, You can contribute back what you learn by creating a codex article. https://codex.buddypress.org/
