Sure you can. Install the BP Template Pack plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
This is the process you will go through – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
Sample walkthrough – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/
Hi, thanks for your response. Not sure I understand what you mean. I installed buddypress from the “add plugin” option. Do you mean the primary site setting? That is indeed set to: http://www.domain.com/wordpress/.
Can I not use buddypress with multiple sites? I don’t mind if the user configurations are stored on the primary site, but I want the users to be directed back to their own site when they login…
What you’re essentially doing is adding a new component. See https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-skeleton-component/ for some inspiration. Or, for something a little simpler, see how BP itself does it. Look in bp-friends.php for an easy example. The key functions are: friends_setup_globals(), friends_setup_nav(), and the screen functions referred to in friends_setup_nav(). Copy those to your own plugin file, change the function names (so you don’t get fatal errors) and then play around.
@naijaping : I think you overestimate my coding abilities
. While I’m familiar with PHP, the hooks and whatnot in WordPress and BB are a step beyond what I have the time to get my head around.
@nahummadrid : would love to see anything you get working.
Have you tried:http://www.arnebrachhold.de/projects/wordpress-plugins/google-xml-sitemaps-generator/
I add the buddypress main ‘pages’ I need (forums only) in the settings. One can set the priority there as wel….
@hnla ppl says me u hav to upload ur .sql files to server bt in my wordpress folder i dont have any .sql files so that i was asking you how to import my .sql files frm sql server ….
Custom Profile Fields Buddy press plugins… there is a also a few permission plugins in there also… wordpress.org i found them months and months back still work…
drop me an email scott.brenton@ukushosting.com – I will walk you through it.
I’m going to come across a bit cold hearted here and say ‘Google Is Your Friend’. You will need to research these aspects to get familiar with what you need to do, this forum is for BP support and guiding on how to install a site to a server is a little outside of it’s remit (WP codex may have some guides?)
Essentially your hosts are only saying what they all will, when you set up a shared hosting account you are provided with a control panel along with url and login plus ftp access to your web directory.
CPanel is designed to be used by non technical users, it is a point and click interface to server management and pretty easy to use, you just need to spend a little time familiarizing yourself with it. For ftp you will need a client e.g filezilla to use to upload your site files (or you can use the cPanel filemanager upload capabilities, either way it’s not hugely difficult. Your database will also be set up via cPanel, then it’s simply a case of running the WP installer when the site files are in place and you have pointed a domain name to your provided IP.
@nlvp ,Try this : https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-progression/
May be you can modify it to what you want
Yes.
The nesting of the sites themselves comes from WordPRess with multisite enabled. BP only does the community parts.
Thanks for the comment. But how does that explain the fact the there are two different functions that both return collections of members; but that each function returns a different member class with different fields/properties available?
Is this a purposeful design pattern common to PHP or WordPress apps? or is it just a product of open source development and the lack of an over riding design model?
Haven’t tested compat with BP yet https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/opentok-video-chat/
Search result in trac and BP.org, good luck

I can infact see the avatars in the WordPress dashboard, right there on the first page, under “recent comments” and again in the “users” section. When I select “crop image” it says “Your new avatar was uploaded successfully!” and it keeps showing the mystery man. The avatars are uploading fine, they’re in the directory, and displaying properly in the dashboard. However, any page that is supposed to display the avatar image (outside of the dashboard) is still displaying and also fetching the mystery man image, according to the source code when viewed in the browser. I just have the one domain, I’m using “public_html” as my root, which is 1 directory deeper than the actual root, as set up by my server. There hasn’t been any error reports (my error log is still empty).
Have you seen this new plugin? Looks perfect

Platform is not BP compatible. I just downloaded it and verified. The author of the theme has put the ‘buddypress’ tag in the theme’s metadata, which tricks unsuspecting folks into thinking that it’s compatible. But there are no BP template files in the theme at all. (A pretty crappy thing for the author to do, if you ask me.)
Not to worry – you can make the theme compatible by installing the BuddyPress Template Pack: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
Ok – trying again! Thanks for your patience!

Hello. Thank you for that. I have gone over that but it does not seem to be working. I think the issue may be the footer itself. but here are the code snipets.
This is the Duotive 3 page.php file.
`<?php
/** PAGE TEMPLATE **/
/**
* Template Name: Page – Full width and no comments
*/
get_header(); ?>
`
And here is the BP one for activities/index.php –
Edited – we know what’s in there https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/bp-template-pack/tags/1.1.2/templates/activity/index.php – Mercime
So I did change –

to no avail. I must be missing something.
== Q: How do I ensure mod-rewrite is enabled? If it’s a matter of making log entries in wp with ‘other than default permalinks’ selected, then this is fine and I can post to the wp blog. ==
But is your URI “pretty”? As in looking like http://yoursite.com/about and not http://yoursite.com/?page_id=2
If it’s the latter, then your mod_rewrite is not working or not enabled. Are you on Linux/Unix server or Windows?
Find .htaccess located at root of your WP installation. So if you installed WP in domain root, you would find .htaccess file here http://yourdomain.com/.htaccess If you have access to cpanel, open it up with editor and copy the content and paste here.
== and NOT via webhost scripts ==
Webhost scripts being referred to here are simplescripts and fantastico, etc provided by webhosting services which have caused many issues especially with BP.
A manual installation just involves uploading WP files to server via FTP/cpanel/etc, creating database, then running http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/install.php and going through the process.
== I have now installed BP/WP on the root folder for the domain whereas I had it under the subdir blog. ==
Not exactly what it’s meant, but it’s good that you have WordPress at domain root.
After you have successfully installed WP and set permalinks to other than the default permalink in dashboard menu Settings > Permalinks, you need to check that you have pretty permalinks working.
Then go to dashboard menu Plugins > Add New, install then activate BuddyPress plugin.
pretty permalinks work fine and I have enabled other than the default. The link you passed on suggests:
Notes:
1. WordPress msut be installed manually i.e. via FTP, cpanel, etc. and NOT via webhost scripts which bring about numerous issues when BuddyPress is activated.>> I have been using the installer via wp. Should I be doing the manual install? Do you have a link to instructions?
2. BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory. >> I have now installed BP/WP on the root folder for the domain whereas I had it under the subdir blog. Still doesn’t work. Can I install both wp and bp to blog?
Q: How do I ensure mod-rewrite is enabled? If it’s a matter of making log entries in wp with ‘other than default permalinks’ selected, then this is fine and I can post to the wp blog.
Q: You say check the htaccess file. What am I looking for?
There’s a plugin for this:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/
It’s an older plugin and the developer is now busy with other projects, so you’ll need to update the plugin manually so the admin menu will show up in WP.
Read this tutorial:
http://code.ipstenu.org/2011/wordpress-3-1-network-menu/
(Edit) Just read the full post, you want to hide it from group feeds only? Or throughout the site? If throughout the site, the plugin will do the job. If only on group feeds, you can take the basic premise from the plugin, then you’ll need to do a conditional to check if you’re in a BP feed.
For a free alternative, you can try Theme My Login:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-my-login/
This will make your login page:
hxxp://example.com/login/
And also, I believe buddydev.com offers a plugin for this as well, but it’s a premium plugin.
@boonebgorges – Looks like the button hooks are missing in BP Template Pack:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php#L339
This will fix the issue stevieg is experiencing.
