Have you registered the buttons in your theme?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php#L125
`add_action( ‘bp_group_header_actions’, ‘bp_group_join_button’, 5 );`
nothing yet asked him almost 3 days ago but didn’t get a reply here: http://buddydev.com/forums/topic/coupld-of-bugs-with-bp-mag-classic. so i had nothing better to do then looking into it myself, and I found this problem. read some tutorials about php codes. (else if) tried some different ways to implement it all failed.
just wondering if the code looks okay like that. so i can search for the issue somewhere else. i will take a look in the bp default templates didn’t do that yet thanks.
I was also afraid since it works on his bp mag classic demo its got nothing to do with the theme. and its once again an issue with my wordpress installation or host.
guys i already posted the job to find a freelancer… honestly this is way above my level and I don’t have time to work on this 
i am not a programmer by the way, i am an accountant! having learned to create wordpress sites and install plugins, I have come far.
dear supporter
could you give me the idea for this above question?
thanks/Kunthea
Set which blog ID BuddyPress will run on if not on main site – add following to your bp-custom.php file:
`define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, $blog_id );`
where you replace $blog_id with the blog ID number of subdomain/subdirectory site of your multisite installation – https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/
As for themes – you can use a WordPress theme then install the BP Template Pack plugin and go through the BP Compatiblity process. Check if your WP theme has been “template-packed” in the list near bottom of this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
Thanks for the reply sniper kitten (I like your avatar). I ended up installing a fresh copy of wordpress, getting multi-user going and then adding buddy press just to play around with everything. It seems have a lot of really great functionality. I am excited about the possibilities but I have run into one or two issues that give me pause. Perhaps you could offer a bit more sage advice?
I noticed that the buddy press install seems to effect only my root site with the other sub domain sites being unaffected. Do you know of a way for buddy press to take effect on one of the sub domain sites instead of the root?
The reason I ask is that I’d like for people to not land on the buddy press site upon trying to access my domain url. Instead I want visitors to my domain to land on a different wordpress site running a different theme.
This might be possible in different ways. I considered just doing two totally different installs and using the first as my landing page and the second (with a different domain) as the buddy press site. This won’t work however, because I need to share users between the two sites and I think if they were in the same network that would be a lot easier.
The second idea I had was if I could somehow fool the user’s browser into going to a subdomain site when the domain was entered into the browser URL field. That, of course, brings up the issue of how people would access the buddy press site at all.
Any thoughts on how this might be done?
You will need something like BP Group Management for easier management.
If you want to limit group creation to admin, go to BuddyPress > Setting in your dashboard and check “Restrict group creation to Site Admins?”. You may also try BuddyPress Restrict Group Creation & add some rules so members can’t create a group until they reach the requirements
If you have a child theme of bp-default theme, the simple way would be to copy over:
a) https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/create.php
to wp-content/themes/YourChildThemeFolder/groups/create.php
– above line 90 per linked file add “
– below line 106 per linked file add “
b) https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/admin.php
to wp-content/themes/YourChildThemeFolder/groups/single/admin.php
– above line 69 per linked file add “
– below line 87 per linked file add “
Note that if you as Site/Super Admin don’t even want to create a hidden or private group yourself, then delete lines 90-106 from create.php and delete lines 69-87 from admin.php
== I re-installed wordpress which fixed the issue. ==
Glad you thought of it and that it was just a simple fix. Now if every issue brought here could simply be resolved with WP reinstall as well
Thank you for the advice unfortunately I did those already. I really have no idea what it could have been. It worked last night and today when I went to play with the site it just stopped working. I re-installed wordpress which fixed the issue.
@raoulbeltra either within a plugin file or your themes functions.php
You can read more at https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin
From what i understand you are trying to do, then yes, just replace `echo do_shortcode(‘SexyButton’);` to whatever you want to show.
Found the problem after a zillion hours of looking. Its being caused by the “Bullet Proof Security” plugin and its version of the .htaccess file. The below link shows you how to get the missing code that needs to be copied into your “notes” section of BPS and saved. Once this is done, the problem goes away!

Here’s the fix for this particular problem.
For me it had to do with my use of a security plugin called “Bullet Proof Security” and what it did to my .htaccess file. The link below shows you how to fix this. Just copy the code in your permalink settings on the dashboard at the bottom to your Notes, in the BPS panel and save that code, and the problem will go away.

@mercime: Thank you very much for your support. Appreciate it!
@sienteastu best place to ask categories/taxonomies/classifications for subsites would be at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite
Yes, that’s the way it’s supposed to look for a default install. As for the message, you can disregard/ignore that for the meantime – that would be resolved in next bbPress version.
Hello Mercime,
Thank you for your support. It works!
I added the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to my ‘Forums’ page. At first the forum didn’t show up until I remove the ‘Forums’ as the selected page at “BuddyPress > Pages > Discussion Forums > -None-.
Is it suppose to look like this — http://www.backpackventure.com/forums/ ?
Now I’ve a message displayed at the top of WP, ‘The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Discussion Forums. Repair’
Guess I just ignore it?
Please advice.
@bensonsearch thanks for posting the conflict with FBChat and commenting with BP. Have you checked out the other chat plugins at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/chat
Per instruction in BP Codex, add shortcode `[bbp-forum-index]` to Show the forum index/archive or any/mix of shortcodes posted at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes
Go to dashboard Pages > All and click on “Forums” then add the shortcode/s you prefer.
Start creating forums in dashboard Forums > New Forum and add topic/s to forums.
Hello,
It doesn’t work as well. I tried buddypress 1.5.5 on another domain. This time I install WordPress 3.3.2 manually via FileZilla.
I still encountered the same problem while installing ‘Site Wide Forums’ (bbPress plugin).
This is my site – http://www.backpackventure.com/
When I load http://www.backpackventure.com/forums/ , the page says ‘The forums component has not been set up yet.’ (I already setup during the buddypress installation)
And I get a blank page for the forum I installed – http://www.backpackventure.com/forums/forum/discussion/
Anyone has the similar problem?
Please help.
Hello there,
I am new in this forum.
I have installed buddypress to my second subdomain as http://khmertrips.com/community/, so anyone know that, where could I found code or RSS to display do *Activities stream* of buddypress to my homepage of http://khmertrips.com/travel/ as i use both subdomain in wordpress soft.
Thanks/Kunthea
Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your Neu theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive. We’re going to use the basic HTML structure of your theme.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
`
with
`
`
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
…
` or `
..
` to `
`, just watch out when you do this in the /activity/index.php page.
Save files.
What could very well be causing your issue is that you used a webhost script to install WordPress in the first place and it could very well be causing issues with your BuddyPress installation – see https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server where “WordPress should be installed manually i.e. via FTP, cpanel, etc. and NOT via webhost scripts which bring about numerous issues when BuddyPress is activated.”
