install BuddyPress using WordPress plugin installer.
Activate BuddyPress in the “Plugins” admin panel using the “Activate” link. but i don;t see any message asking that to complete the BuddyPress Installation Wizard.
when i press buddypress setting then i see this message
You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
you need to enable your wordpress as a multisite network:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
and that’s it.

Hi, newbie here. Unfortuately growing frustrated with buddypress.
I’ve been reading on the forums for how to give each of my members a blog but can’t seem to find a solution that works.
Can I get a step by step run down of how to give each of my members a blog? Basically you can assume that I just installed WordPress 3.5.1, then installed Buddypress 1.6.4, then installed Frisco theme on top of that.
Thanks in advance!
Is it possible to moderate each post/share using Buddypress Links or another plugin?
thanks. it’s for a kids site.

Buddypress version: 1.6.4
Wordpress: 3.5.1
bbPress: 2.3 beta 2
In the last week, I migrated a forum from phpBB to my bbPress + BuddyPress. I’m currently on the Grid Service MediaTemple hosting plan ($20/month).
Just 7 days into the billing cycle, I’ve already hit 1752 GPUS (we are allowed a maximum of 2000). The projected overage for this month is 1006 – an extra $100 on top of what I’m already paying.
My site has 1250 users, is receiving almost 4000 pageviews/day since implementing the forum.
Wait time is around 3 seconds:

admin-ajax.php seems to be a huge culprit:

Trawling through search results, @modemlooper wrote in this topic: http://buddypress.org/support/topic/my-host-keeps-shutting-down-my-account/
“Get mediatemple grid service. It’s $20 a month and will never get shut down. It works fine for less than 5000 users. If you ever get larger they can upgrade you without you having to worry. Stay away from super cheap hosting.”
I’m not sure what the culprit is?
1. MediaTemple
2. BuddyPress and bbPress
3. I have to upgrade my hosting
or something I’ve done wrong?
The previous phpBB forum was running absolutely fine on a host that was just $5/month.
Where am I going wrong? Please help!
Hello all,
I have looked through the forums and the shortcodes and I may be missing something fairly simple. I am trying to categorize my site-wide forums into categories. So far, I have the smaller forums nested into the main category which is the parent. If there is another way, I would appreciate the advice.
Thank you,

ThemeForest theme:Salutation
WordPress:3.5.1
BuddyPress:1.6.4
bbPress: 2.2.4
I can use CSS and I use to make WordPress themes by myself but I don’t know how to make a theme for Buddypress, that’s why I made a layout using Lubith.com. And when I was installing Buddypress it asked if I wanted to change my theme and I said no so it said it edited it to make it work with Buddypress. And it works but the only thing that doesn’t work is the sidebar. I tried changing the code again but this doesn’t work. What should I do?
And theme got approved 🙂
https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11702
That means theme code is checked by theme reviewers and its trustworthy. You can download from WordPress.Org soon. Meanwhile you can explore theme or download from http://theme.firmasite.com/
I have changed my site URL from and internal IP (http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx) to an external (www.example.com) in WordPress and all the main pages are accessible with this new URL. I can open the buddypress members page (www.example.com/members) and see a list of all the members. However, when clicking on an individual member the link reverts back to the old URL (http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx/members/name) rather than (www.example.com/members/name) which i need. This also happens with the list of groups and forums.
I’ve done things like changing the site URL in the wp-config.php file, changed the site URL in the database.
Any help would be great.

@amanor,
don’t know your theme, sorry !
Remind that it’s a premium theme with Unlimited Live & Q&A Support from the WordPress experts, for anything to do with WordPress at all!
So you have to ask the “experts” at wpmu dev. Support is price included…. i guess.
That would be the best place to start then: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
That said, BP 1.7 should rectify this, allowing you to use any well-coded theme with BP. If it’s a new project, you might want to explore the 1.7 beta to see if that rectifies things. The compatibility template pack still requires some CSS tweaks on occasion.
Well, the next day, I was able to log in again. However, I still am not able to run the wizard install. It still says no access privilege.
I installed the plugin in the main admin of my multi-site. I will try and deactivate all other plugins. I have tried installing on the main site, as well as subsites.
I also installed buddypress on a standard WordPress install, and it works fine. I was able to run the install wizard, settings, and the whole nine yards. It’s wonderful by the way.
Sorry for non-english examples. Basically i dont have english network yet ^^
Should i create a community in http://theme.firmasite.com/ ? Its a network itself so i can install buddypress and open registration etc. I couldnt decide on this actually but i generally hate registering to lots of site for able to get support. If i dont change my mind, i am thinking to give support on wordpress.org’s forums because everyone have account in there.
What do you guys think about registering a site for getting support?
if you mean WordPress Multisite with “network environment”; My all sites are built on multisite. For example main site is: http://yerleske.net/ and http://unsalkorkmaz.com/ is one of sub-domain.
If you mean BuddPress examples;
My buddypress profiles:

Sorry forgot to mention WordPress V.3.51 BuddyPress 1.6.4
Hi designz,
It is as simple as adding any wordpress plugin.
Go through this link
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/installation/
The easy way (which is missing in the above link)
Also you can go to dashboard and click plugins,then add new,type buddypress activity plus and hit search.
When the plugin appears,click install now and activate it.
You are done.
Regards,

I am using two Wordpress sites, WP versions for both are 3.5.1.
Site 1 details are as follows:
http://wisamtest.arrancr.co.uk/, BuddyPress 1.6.4 with theme BuddyPress Default
and the other Site is http://ux.arrancr.co.uk/, BuddyPress 1.6.2 with theme iTheme2 from <http://themify.me/>
The problem I am facing is that when I update post on my any site’s Activity page then other registered users are not getting any notification like facebook does. Please register yourselves and have a look. That is all!
Any help or suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
This is a plugin issue not a BP one.
A quick google found this thread on WP forums:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-new-warning-please-help-fast-urgent
Always do a general search first and also do basic tests such as disabling third party plugins and/ or reverting to bp-default theme to establish for yourself where an issue lies.
I am stuck. I don’t know what I am doing and I cannot afford to pay anyone. I have a very successful facebook page and I want to try to get my fans onto the wordpress/buddypress site. This is work in progress. I am not seeing how my fans will post questions on the website. Can someone help me?
My wordpress site is areaguides.us If you want to check out my facebook page (it might help to understand what I am trying to do), it is facebook.com/fortbenningareaguide. Any suggestions are appreciated.
My BuddyPress Version 1.6.4
Sorry if I am in the wrong forum section. I thought I was under “how to.”
Thank you so much!
@webwarriorwng
I am the author of that plugin. Can you please tell me the problem you are faccing.
I will appreciate a little detail about your BuddyPress/WordPress version and theme you are using?
