@Tfazlani – It’s possible. It would consist of using bp_core_new_nav_item();
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/functions/core/bp_core_new_nav_item/
Basically, create a screen function (what displays on the screen) and hook it into bp_core_new_nav_item;
This loop will probably help you build the screen function (splitting up profile details) – https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-profile-data-loop-bp_has_profile/
EDIT: WordPress has some helpful examples on adding admin menu’s and as BuddyPress’ new_nav_item is built in a similar way might help if you have issues – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_menu_page
@o4tuna – to follow on from @mrjarbenne‘s replies – BuddyPress doesn’t kill anything that WordPress does, WordPress by default allows you to move the blog to a sub-page (as done on this site) or on your homepage (testbp.org) BuddyPress doesn’t touch it. The only real time that BuddyPress touches functionality of WordPress is for small fixes when conflicts arise (for example, theirs code which ensures that the activity stream functions correctly on the homepage – as it was having issues at one point) or to enhance the features to provide an amazing experience.
I should also mention as a sidenote that I run a Buddypress/Wordpress Multisite install for 7000 users on IIS7 without issue.
I commisioned the creation of a plugin integrating the Doppelme.com avatar creator into BP for a school community where I wanted to control the types of avatars that users create (and wanted to block local uploads of inappropriate pictures.)
It’s a thing of beautiful, but it’s also the developers first go at creating a WordPress plugin, so it isn’t in the repo. Here’s a screenshot. http://dev.commons.hwdsb.on.ca/files/2011/10/doppelme.png
The developer (Andrew Scott) was just talking the other day about figuring out how to get his plugin into the repo. I would email him if it’s something you think you might be interested in: info@doppelme.com
I found the solution!!
For those of you in a similar situation here are the configurations that worked for me:
Mail From Plugin configured as such:
Sender name (whatever you want)
User name (the part that appears before the @ in your email address)
Domain name (the part after the @ sign in your email address)
WP Mail SMTP Configured as such:
From email (your full email address)
From name (whatever you want)
Mailer (Use the PHP mail() function to send emails)
Leave all SMTP options blank or checked No.
I am using Buddypress 1.5.5 with the Buddy Corporate theme and WordPress 3.3.1 with Hostmonster as my hosting provider.
I hope this helps someone else out there experiencing this frustrating problem!!
@jcaynes this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-private-community/ has not been updated for BP 1.5+. Delete it from your installation.
@Hugo BuddyPress Template Pack creates the folder eg. /Activity/index.php but when I try to choose the Pages, the system does not see them and I can not select anything.
Thanks
That code string is essentially what I had and it is producing a similar broken link. I am just trying to create this link on a standard wordpress page. Is that not going to work? I just want a link on a member login page that will allow them to maintain their profile and do other BP related tasks. It is producing this kind of broken link “http://myurl/profile/”>My ProfileManage your <a href=". For example, the broken link contains text from after the code string for the url. That part that says "my profile" is the url text and "Manage your" comes after the . I am really trying to eliminate the need for the admin bar, but can’t until I figure out this hardcoded links.
Do the pages actually exist? you have to have empty pages created and there to be selected, either named as conventionally or named as you wish.
@mercime I did what you told me by changing almost to all available permalink and the issue still exists. The error I am getting is:
The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activity Streams, Discussion Forums, User Groups, Members.
but when I go Buddypress pages I can not find any of the above pages to associate Activity, Streams and so on.
Plus I am using Templatic GeoPlaces theme.
Thanks for your help.
@indieconnect Good luck.
@hnla I know, I know, Atahualpa’s tables and all. But it’s a valid request for a popular theme plus it’s much much much better than the Artisteer” themes which I have declined to “template-pack-it” even if table-less. Having said that, all customization requests for BP-Atahualpa layout should be sent to theme author 
== you must have a good working list of themes now? for a codex list ? ==
Done it, I did I’d already started compiling and adding to the list of all template-packed themes (45+) assisted in forums and 3 posted in Codex. My last update includes Atahualpa.https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes
@mercime Thanks very much for the reply. I was concerned that adding BuddyPress, say 6-12 months after launching a WordPress/bbPress site, would be more technically challenging to ‘interface’ with the existing WP/bbPress setup, than starting out initially with a WordPress/BuddyPress configuration.
From your reply, I’m inferring that it really doesn’t make any difference…BuddyPress will ‘play’ as nice coming onboard later to a WP/bbPress configuration, as it would have if the site was initially launched as WP/BP. Am I understanding you correctly?
Thanks
== I have already running custom permalinks as /%city_name%/%post_id%/. ==
@nookeet Change custom permalink to what’s available on panel other than default and see if issue is resolved.
What WP theme are you using with BP Template Pack plugin?
@jafar1374 Change the styles of div#sidebar and div#content .padder in your RTL stylesheet to

`div#content {

@coxis123 It’s the other way around. You need to make your Thesis theme compatible with BuddyPress. We use the BP Template Pack plugin to make WP themes compatible with BP.
Overview to the compatibility process and the list of WP themes at the bottom of the same page that we’ve made BP-compatible at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
This has been fixed in the currently unreleased 1.6.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2207
@coxis123 Their site states “The Thesis Theme framework is a premium template system for WordPress that is designed to serve as the rock-solid foundation beneath any kind of website.”
With “any” emphasized… So, you can assume so.
But, it’s up to the theme developer to make their themes compatible, so you should ask them.
@mercime
The version of WordPress is 3.3.1 and Buddypress is 1.5.5. I installed wordpress manually via FTP. I have only 1 plugin installed and I deactivated and still the same issue. I installed Buddypress both through FTP and WordPress online. The issue is still there, and can’t figure out why none of files are seen except blog.
WP/BP versions? Did you install WordPress manually or via webhost script like fantastico or simplescripts etc? Have you tried re-uploading BuddyPress again manually via FTP to plugins folder. Basic troubleshooting includes deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme.
@mercime
I have already running custom permalinks as /%city_name%/%post_id%/.
2. As far https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#bp-pages I have problem that I can not associate the pages, because /Acitivity/index.php or others are not even seen. That is my issue and don’t know how to fix this problem.
Thanks
what happens when you send a test/debug email from https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ ?
So what you want to add another widget area after the login form in your sidebar. You would have to register a new widget area in your child theme’s new functions.php file, then add a new get_sidebar call under the code of the login form in your sidebar.php. See how: http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/11/08/sidebars-in-wordpress
1) BuddyPress requires “pretty permalinks” so go to Settings > Permalinks and set to something other than default and Save.
2) If you do not see any “Repair” link after that announcement, go to BuddyPress > Pages and create or associate the pages https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#bp-pages
