The file may not exist for you yet. You can set PHP options per folder with a php.ini file. If you put it in the root of your WordPress install, it will also change all the subfolders as well.
You can create a text file named php.ini and just put in it:
allow_call_time_pass_reference=true
And then upload that to the root of your WordPress install, and try install Buddypress again. Here is some documentation on php.ini files:
http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.php
If you want a template php.ini file with all the possible changes/settings you can make, you can find one here:
http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/trunk/php.ini-production?view=co
@wordpresshacker If you succeed and when you are done can you pls.publish here your working code- plugin? I would love to have those extra fields there too.

What version of WordPress are you running, and which version of Buddypress are you uploading?
Timthumb would be theme side not plugin side. The fix is fairly easy to any theme that does have it however most won’t and use featured images / built in WordPress functions that do similar things.
Also, if anyone wants to to do some solid reading on custom post types:
Custom post types in WordPress
“i set the permalink to custom “/” “
You filled n the wrong values. Basically what you put there will never work. On any theme.

I have the same problem. as NrFive and Iwikia. I wonder if they solved the problem.
Thanks.
== i have the problem with the non-buddypress theme ==
If you want to use your WP theme with BP, you need to install the BP Template Pack plugin and go through the compatibility process.

If you want it considered to be part of the BuddyPress core then filing an enhancement ticket is usually the best route.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
If you have a patch for it smiley faces of happiness all around as that really rocks.
As a work around you probably want to look at some of the user limiting plugins / membership / privacy.

I’ll work on providing a document with best practices for creating them. See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3422 for further discussion of the page creation problem.
== how can I do this using the default theme.==
1. Create a child theme of bp-default theme. – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
2. Copy over header.php from bp-default theme – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.2.9/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php
3. Open up header.php and replace the following:
<h1 id="logo"><a href="" title=""></a></h1>
with
<h1 id="logo"><a href="" title=""><img src="/images/logo.png" /></a></h1>
4. Upload a logo.png or .jpg, etc. to your theme’s images folder
It ought to continue to work. I don’t think we made any changes directly in the Group Extension stuff. If you can’t figure it out, check where you’re hooking into BuddyPress (try earlier) and/or report on BuddyPress.trac.WordPress.org
Use multisite instead.
Don’t add another wp install in a subdirectory. Enable the network on the main site. you can hav sub dir sites with it and they share a userbase.

LAST TRY
Why doesn’t buddypress work with wordpress as it should and as it is told by the experts.
pages are not found so who CAN help me?
Or, go back to using just bbpress and install a private messaging plugin if that’s all the extra you need?
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/private-messages-for-wordpress/
that’s just one i found.
@pisanojm The BP_Activity_Template::__construct() problem has been fixed in the trunk; see https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3421 Thanks for the report.
@imjscn You should be prompted to run the wizard in a yellow message across the top of the Dashboard (or Network Admin, on Multisite). Or, underneath the Dashboard > BuddyPress menu, you should see a Setup button.
Question doesn’t seem to really cover BuddyPress. I’d suggest you try searching on the WordPress.org forums
Buddypress v. 1.2.9
WP v. 3.2.1
Hi,
I’m trying to figure out a way to allow users to add new Posts to existing blog categories but with control over the categories they are allowed to post to… but I’m having no luck finding a way to do that.
Users are registered as Contributors.
This is a single site (not allowing them to create their own blogs)
When you click on the Dashboard > New Post link, you can see the actual dashboard in the site. It looks a bit tacky and confusing because you can see everyone’s posts in there as well as your own. There are hundreds…
1. I would like to disallow users from posting to the main category, and force them to choose a subcategory.
2. I would like to allow them to post on the frontend if possible, it’s not a major necessity (functionality is more important right now).
I have already tried the 2 plugins I found listed here in the forums, but they are both broken.
Perhaps I’m missing something in the settings for Buddypress? or maybe there’s a hack for this?
thanks!
