Solved. Thanks so much @mercime !
For the noobs out there, make sure you have the opening and closing php tags for step 3 (functions file).

Hi,
I’ve come across a weird issue with AJAX (jquery) calls from the admin page of a group extension and I’ve been looking for a solution for a few days now without much luck.
I have a child theme of the BP Default theme and a group extension that loads and displays data depending on user selection. This was all working fine in BP 1.5.2 / WP 3.4.1. Since updating to BP 1.7.2 and WP 3.5.1 this no longer works correctly. Instead of loading/displaying the data it supposed to it loads and displays the full html of the admin page again.
In order to debug this I’ve tried the following:
1. Clean install of WordPress 3.5.1 with Buddypress 1.7.2 the only activated plugin
2. Activated TwentyTwelve theme
3. Added a basic group extension to the theme’s functions.php. This extension only contains a link on the group admin page and does nothing else.
4. Registered a simple “Hello World” ajax function in functions.php
5. Added some jquery in a seperate Javascript file to load and display the output from the “Hello World” function when the link on the group extension admin page is clicked
-> Testing this at this stage works fine and the output is “Hello World” as expected.
However I then switched the theme it to a child theme of BP default. This theme has nothing else than functions.php containing the group extension and the “Hello World” AJAX function, the Javascript file (using exactly the same code as above).
-> Testing this the output is now the full html of current admin page again instead of “Hello World”.
Has anyone else come across this problem?
Is this a bug within the BP default theme?
i installed WordPress 3.5.1 with Buddypress plugin 1.6.5
@eraz0r Question is, why are you installing an old BP version when BP 1.7.2 is available for download?
The installation wizard seem to link the pages like this wordpress\activity
Is your WP/BP installed in subdirectory, i.e. example.com/wordpress/? Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and Use the BP Default theme after you activate BP and go through the Installation Wizard (which has been removed/deprecated in BP 1.7 above)
@rkcorp The theme looks great.
While awaiting theme review (up to 4 weeks), please make sure that your theme meets the WordPress Theme Review guidelines. Scanned source code at themes trac and there are issues which need to be be addressed. e.g. scripts and styles in <head> for one.
The following information should be of assistance in getting your theme to meet all the criteria:
* Theme Review – https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review
* Theme Unit Checklist – https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Unit_Test
* Theme Development – https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
* Theme-Check Plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-check/
* Debogger Plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/debogger/
After you’ve updated your theme to meet WP Theme Review guidelines, you’ll just need to upload a new version of the theme. You’ll still retain your place in the theme review queue.
Hello everyone,
i installed WordPress 3.5.1 with Buddypress plugin 1.6.5
I have installed both twice …but the automatic pages creation in the installation wizard does not work. I always get a “Page not Found”-Error.
The installation wizard seem to link the pages like this wordpress\activity .
As there is not such a directory the page can not be found.
How can i create the pages and like them correctly.
It’s really a bit frustrating right now.
I have seen a post here saying changing the .htaccess-File is the key. But if this is the solution how should it be changed.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

You should always use a child theme instead of modifying the theme directly because if you update that theme then it will overwrite any modifications you made but if you made a child theme then the update will not effect modifications and all mods in the child theme will be preserved. Please see:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/theme-development/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/
and
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
In searching for a solution to my problem of unwanted sidebars I found https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/theme-development/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/ which provides instructions of how to insert BP specifications into a child theme.
To get the results you want, you need to first create a child theme for your main wordpress theme. Then you put the specifications that apply only to the BuddyPress portion of the site into the child theme. You would need to do this:
So if we want to remove the sidebar for BP pages but not for all WP ‘pages’ or call a specific BP sidebar get_sidebar(‘buddypress’), we could take a copy of page.php and rename it to ‘community.php.’ and have BP use this file for all it’s requirements, as can be seen from the order above the first two files will not be found but the third will be and therefore used.
And so will I – to solve my problem.
I would like to add an profile field which is linked to the last name field in the WordPress admin section.
Does anyone know how to do that?
Got a response over at Trac if anyone is interested

Hi,
When i add an update it posts it 4 times, as seen the attached, also double posting the group icon
using Voxel theme by RocketTheme.
Buddypress 1.7.2
Wordpress 3.5.1
hosted internally so i cant provide a direct link.
Disabled all plugins but no luck.
any suggestions on tracking down the cause?
One plugin that looks good for preventing registration spam is WangGuard. (Search for it in the WordPress repository.) I’ve just installed it, so can’t tell you if it’s as good as it sounds. (I run a very busy blog and allow commenting by unregistered users. Akismet catches spam and Conditional Captcha deletes it without my seeing it. The latter reduced spam from hundreds of comments a day [marked by Akismet] to near-zero. Only the occasional human spammer gets in.)
Allowing unmoderated registrations is spammer nirvana. 😉 I allowed posting by unregistered users so I could turn off user registration. Now that I’m wanting to use Buddypress, I had to enable registration but installed WanGuard. Within a few hours, I had one registration attempt — even though Buddypress can’t be seen anywhere on the site yet — but no successful registration, thanks to WangGuard. Tomorrow will tell me more.
I’m using the latest version of WordPress, Budddypress and WordPress on a very active blog with multiple posters (http://ssnet.org), and I’m wondering how best to integrate the social activity with the existing blog.
I envision a page entitled “Social Center,” which should be the front page of the BuddyPress/BBPress, but I cannot find anything that looks like a front page to install there.
If there is a front page for BuddyPress/BBPress, what is it called?? Or how do I create it? (Please forgive if this sounds a bit dumb. 😉 )
Hey All;
Let me preface by saying I am new to Buddypress. I have been asked to upgrade an old 1.1.1 install of BuddyPress to 1.7.2. I have been successful for the most part, but I am having one issue that I can’t seem to resolve.
I am running WordPress 3.5.1 and I have BuddyPress 1.7.2 installed.
I am running WordPress inside of a subdirectory on a domain (although my test environment is a subdomain)
Everything worked fine prior to the upgrade and I have no BuddyPress plugins outside the core install.
I am using a customized theme and nothing in core has been modified in any way.
My test environment is Linux. The production server is Windows. This isn’t something I am able to change.
I can answer the other questions, but I am not sure if they are relevant.
Prior to the upgade, I had the main site at:
http://www.domain.com/wordpress
The blog lives at:
http://www.domain.com/wordpress/blog
During the v1.1.1 days, the /wordpress/blog path worked fine. After the upgrade to 1.7.2, it is broken. It gives me a “page not found” error. I have everything else about BuddyPress working. If I go to specific posts in my blog (/wordpress/blog/10/20/2013/blah-title) they work fine, it is the main page/most recent post that does not work.
Be gentle with me as I am new and I apologize if I am re-asking a previously answered question (I did a search but didn’t find anything). I appreciate your help.
Thanks;
Michael
@tduschei How to add sidebar to all BuddyPress pages in Twenty Eleven theme http://wp.me/p1I84P-60
Tried, didn’t worked.
If anyone will ever need this, the trick is done via .htaccess file.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\..* [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
So, explained, if your blog/BP network has old links without www. and you recently changed the website URL to http://www.domain.com because you started using a CDN, this will help you to get you’re whole network back with no dead links. Tested on all sides, no errors.
my .htaccess file looks like this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\..* [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

I stumbled on this recently and it seems to be like cubepoints but slightly different or even better in some regards.

I’m curious if there are any who have experience with it and could give us some feedback on how it actually works (or doesn’t)
btw I have no relation or connection to the plugin or its developer(s).

BuddyPress Default (BuddyPress 1.7.2, WordPress 3.5.1). What number did you mean? I see fewer entries in the list as it should be. I see 2 instead of 3, 4 instead of 5, etc. And I get “Not Found” if only one item is available from the author. Only after a page refresh I get to see all the entries. Twenty Ten theme has no problem and displays author’s archives correctly.
Upload profile image at activation https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4132
+1 to that idea or any way of encouraging users to add an avatar during sign up.
A big improvement could also be made to the activity stream. Currently it isn’t possible to have personal activity AND friend’s activity in the same feed. Would be nice.
I installed buddypress a few weeks ago now i have so many fake members making groups empty albums and they post for more info about blank go to blank.comand then they vanish.

Hi!
I have a strange problem.
I have the latest version of WordPress and Buddypress and I have built a child theme for the default BP theme. I have successfully changed a lot (both text and markup) in register.php and activate.php. The thing is that my recent changes don’t seem to stick.
I’ve tried deleting the files, deleting the whole registration directory and I’ve tried renaming the files but I still see my old versions of the files. If I activate the default BP theme, I see the register.php and activate.php from that theme. I have read similar posts on this forum, but it hasn’t helped me to find a solution.
I can change the other files in my child theme.
I have deactivated all the plugins, but that didn’t help.
I have run out of ideas.. I’m not sure when this problem occured but at least a few weeks ago.
Help would be most appriciated.

giving members the ability to flag things as spam through akismet seems like a very sticky wicket to me probably something which would be better addressed as plugin. i for one would not want to give that ability to any user. i can barely get my staff to do that correctly under wordpress.

@bphelp Are you referring to this one? https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-activity-privacy/
The description says
The plugin add the ability for members to choose who can read his activity before it posted (Anyone, Logged In Users, My Friends, Admins Only, Only me, My Friends in Group , Group Members …etc).
