Please never advise people edit core files. Core files must never be edited as you may cause unintended issues to develop and changes will be overwritten on update.
The code Henry showed is how one displays a tag cloud in template files https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_tag_cloud
The question is how your theme is handling this, directly coded to sidebar/s? some function that is called in some manner? hard to tell how the theme manages it so you really need to address the question to the theme author, also it not really a BP question really as this is a WP function.
Thanks but the http://www.bpinspire.com/ I thought was more of a showcase for BP sites instead of a demo play area.
Also, is http://bpdevel.wordpress.com possibly and indication that BP may be moving toward being part of or supported by core WP team in the future?
@zorro1965
BP is still in active development. You can view some sites here:

Keep track and feel free to participate here:

Thank you thank you @cpagan200 and @halo-diehard – you have saved me hours of perplexment and bemusement with your germane intervention.
@jptdesrosiers
Never tried it but you can:

On the front page follow the link to the Developers tab for the version that should work with BuddyPress! Let us know how it works out for you!
I would like to create a section where people can sign in and answer questions and add their image and then have people see their answers.
@cortttt Sure. Use BuddyPress Extended Profile Fields to highlight the best of your community https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/
Make sure that Extended Profiles is checked in wp-admin Settings > BuddyPress > Components
At the top of the sections would be a running total…total years lost to illness
Check out https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/ and then customize the plugin to include the running total years lost to illness or use/rename birthday field
@mattadams premium theme clubs usually have forums support for its members. Have you tried searching the forums re BuddyPress compatibility or asking if theme author can provide it? We have no access to the premium file so have no clue what proprietary templating system it’s using that’s circumventing easy integration with BuddyPress.
One solution could be as simple as creating a buddypress.php file which contains the WordPress loop with the_title and the_content tags along with the necessary HTML structure and theme tags. You’d then upload that file to the root of your theme’s folder in server and that’s it.
Theme Compatibility & Template Files
Template Hierarchy
Good luck!
@fpats BP works with nearly all WordPress themes. It doesn’t work perfectly in themes with proprietary templating systems but there’s a solution for that.
You can ask the theme author for a buddypress.php file which has the WP with the_title and the_content among the theme’s template tags for that specific theme. Upload that buddypress.php to the root of your theme folder in server and all BuddyPress components will use that file to autogenerate content.
I had the same problem and was hunting for a solution only yesterday. After much searching and trying various plugins (some VERY old and inoperative) I found this very new one:
Private BP Pages
Just use that text as the search text for ‘Add New’ from your WP plugins page.
See my review here
https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/private-bp-pages
The edit I mention is important. Seems to work fine but I need to do more testing.
Did you use a one click install for WordPress?
@zane 1a.) There is a reply link in every topic post if you’re using default bbPress forums in your installation.
e.g.1. In this topic you started, when you hover a post a line shows up on the bottom right corner of each post with different links including the “Reply” link which will bring you to the reply form at the bottom.
e.g.2. In this screenshot of a default forum topic layout you’ll see the “Reply” link along with other links are shown at the top of every post in that page.
Please check with your theme author why you’re not seeing the Reply link in your theme.
@life1134
You could use:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/private-community-for-bp-lite/
and in the plugins settings use wp-login.php as the redirect.
Thanks for sharing your fix.
To suggest a change to core code, please use
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
to submit a ticket re a bug or enhancement.
The core devs will definitely see it there.
@coutain @elenis1517
Please don’t ‘hijack’ other people’s topics.
Are you logged out when you go to the register / activate pages? If not then what you describe is normal behaviour as those pages are redundant when you are logged in.
If you are still having problems please start a different topic and provide more relevent details – see https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/
I have a similar problem. I set all the pages, but when trying to open the registration page the system goes to the front page.
Not sure it’s a custom hack…
In WordPress admin, I go to Profile Fields
Then, I have three profile groups in there. The third one is where this budget field sits.
It’s only available to certain user types, which is why it’s in a separate profile group.
However, as far as I know @bphelp – none of this is custom or a hack, this is standard BP functionality? Then using this snippet to show the output on the front end:
<div id="profileProjectSize">
<?php
$data=bp_get_member_profile_data(array('field'=>'Budget'));
echo $data;
?>
</div>
@cc-cailin
As @modemlooper stated you should not use that plugin. Please review:
Theme Compatibility & Template Files
You would build a theme like any standard WordPress theme.
Hi, me and the the other users of my buddypress website have the same problem: we have some notification on the admin bar that never go away even if the messages are already read. Sometimes I can see a notification, but if I click on it it’s empty and I have redirect on a error page (This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?).
Many thanks,

Wordpress 3.6.1
Buddypress 1.8.1
Twenty eleven theme + BuddyPress Template Pack plugin
Okay… so this is really frustrating, but the link for the buddypress template pack plugin doesn’t work:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-template-pack/
Had to google my lungs out to find a place to download it, and ended up finding this page where I was able to get it:
http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-template-pack
You could also try Welcome Pack by Paul Gibbs – it allows you to send a welcome email and also customise the various more emails BuddyPress sends out:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/welcome-pack/
Thank you @wordpress_bipin Server errors directed me to a plugin issue.
Appreciate the advise.
Happy Day!

?s=band will only search within Post and Page content.
If you want to search by user role, you will need a custom search function.
And your 404 means you don’t have a basic search page set up.
