Well it’s really simple to set up actually but if you’re trying to pull code from it, that’s a different story. I’m not sure how to put the log-in forms IN your theme without that plug-in (or Gravity Forms). You could just style the log-in page to match?
See here: http://www.problogdesign.com/wordpress/custom-wordpress-login-screen/
If you’re just looking for a simplier plug-in then just do a plug-in search for “custom login” and you’ll find a bunch!
1. The user/stylist doesn’t necessarily need a sub domain. I would just need the functionality for them to have their own gallery/portfolio and to be able to post jobs they have done. Similar to this template http://livedemo00.template-help.com/wordpress_37199/gallery/#!prettyPhoto. The jobs they post would then get submitted the main pool and display on the main site.
2. Do you do development, or could you point me to a developer that could assist on this project and get the portfolio/galleries setup correctly?
1. You have to clarify what you mean by user’s page. You could allow each user to personalize their member profiles in some way via plugin http://buddydev.com/buddypress/allow-your-users-to-change-their-profile-page-background-using-bp-custom-background-for-user-profile-plugin/
If you meant by showing a new subdomain, that you would be giving them their own blogs in your installation, then allow them to choose which theme they want for their blog/site.
2. Pictures portfolio/gallery. Two choices available at this time:
– free BP Album aka BP Media plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-album/ and http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/
– premium BP Gallery plugin – http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-gallery/
Sometimes emails end up filed as spam or junk….
Some web-hosting providers might need you to install a wordpress plugin such as https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/ and/or https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
wp-mail-smtp also has a useful debug feature and more settings…
i don’t want to build a child theme, i simply want to use another header image without using wordpress’ built in header feature.
@conschneider the last we heard is that it was “planned to coincide closely with the release of WordPress 3.3” Source: https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/
(@ core devs could we have the roadmap updated to a newer date? 
)
But, If you dont want to insert the code into your wp-config file, you can put it into your bp-custom.php file which does the same thing https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/
Buddypress always looks to see if you have a bp-custom.php file in your plugin folder and reads the code in it before it does anything else.
I have found a place to ask about this issue,
https://wordpress.org/tags/events-manager?forum_id=10
I’ll ask over there …
Thanks for your advice @ChrisClayton
@G – looking into the buddypress adminbar stylesheet that bp adds to my site, i believe that that stylesheet has the buddypress specific styles for the ‘toolbar’ (the stuff buddypress adds, such as notifications thus it requires to be in the code (i could be wrong though)
EDIT: You could always remove it if you wanted to – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_deregister_style

check your settings at: yourdomain.com/wp-admin/network/admin.php?page=bp-settings
make sure option “Disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing?” is set to NO
otherwise, do what we all do, research the differences between your 2 installs – you will find it!
Hi Paul,
Thank you for your response.
I am running WordPress 3.3.1 and Buddypress 1.5.3.1
Thank you for any insight you can offer!
Did you follow the installation instructions where you need to transfer a file into your theme’s folder in server? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-privacy/installation/
Hi Paul —
Thank you very much for the rapid reply. Yes — I would like to be able to have social networking type of on functionality on multiple WordPress sites in an MS environment.
I’m trying to create a kind of social networking environment to teach small private classes (in photography) in a single install of BD on a single WP site, I couldn’t find a way to provide students taking a particular class access to a private set of POSTS in a single install of WP, hence the leap into Multisite. Posts provide a much richer way for students and teachers to share rich media than spaces like Forums.
It sounds like I can’t get ‘multiple blogs’ in BP and can’t get ‘multiple’ social networking tools — beyond Forums — in a multi-site install — RIGHT?
I do NOT one to re-locate a single buddypress install, which is what I believed you referenced above in the post about secondary blogs.
Hope this is clear —
Please give me your best advise.
THANKS!
I looked at trying to accomplish my goal in a single site and
In the root of your WordPress site.
You’re best to contact the authors of the Events Manager plugin and ask for support. I don’t know if they provide support here, or over on WordPress.org, or somewhere else.
With very little php knowledge, i copy and pasted the wp-signup.php code (from the main wordpress folder) and replaced the bp-default themes register.php with the code.
It looks like its worked because the forms etc sit nicely on the page and actually stay in the theme.
But when clicking on the register or w.e button, it gets an error which is caused by the validation method…
Not sure if im going about this the right way?
I would just love to redirect the page to the normal wp-register lol.
No. I installed the same theme and plugins on another domain and it works there… I already manually reinstalled buddypress and bbpress. And I pressed the reinstall wordpress button on the dashboard updates…. This is beyond my knowledge.
I tried to start from scratch with wordpress and then buddypress. I guess the solution is easy. but I am stuck…. so a little hel! Also Brayjason – it is nice to know that I am not alone. so thanks for your input
