yes i changed my theme to BP Default, bb-config.php, & wp-config.php matches but when i try to post in groups or go to forum directory nothing is there and i cant post. I reinstalled wordpress, i deleted and reinstalled buddypress, that did not work either.
@bphelp go to your first post and click on EDIT link which shows up when you hover over the box. Add [Resolved] before the title of your post and you’re good to go. For your own site, you can install this cool plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddy-bbpress-support-topic/ to select Resolved in dropdown 🙂
@espellcaste You’re welcome. Good luck 🙂

Marking this issue as resolved.
Please start a new topic about adding a menu and be more specific re Add a menu to the profile page (subnav). For/about what? Or do you mean you want to add a menu link to the user’s profile page?
Wordpress 3.5.1
Buddypress Version 1.7-beta1
bbPress Version 2.2.4
site http://bp.youpix.org
Clean install of WP, BP, bbPress
Using default BP Theme
No group forums.
Permalinks resaved after install
Created a forum “Coverage Questions”
Issue – Forums don’t show up via the Forums link in the BuddyPress Admin bar
So, this style of URL has no method to create new topics
http://bp.youpix.org/members/MEMBERNANE/forums/
This link (which can be accessed from with in WP / Forum dashboard menu seems fine.
http://bp.youpix.org/forums/forum/coverage-questions/
I’ve tried getting Forums to work correctly on 3 different installs but not joy. Why can’t users create topics and see existing forums from the forums menu link on the admin bar?
I’ve followed the video here
http://labzip.com/the-definitive-guide-to-buddypress-bbpress-configuration/
I’ve scoured this board. There’s no other plugins installed to cause conflict. It’s driving me crazy!
Hi,
I have found what you mean. The issue is repaired, but I would like to add a menu to the buddypress profile of all users. How would I do that?
I am finding this issue on BuddyPress 1.7 and WordPress 3.4 to 3.6 Beta versions….
I have tried my “www.lbsblogs.com/blogs/create” but it gives me and invalid page. It is only letting me create a blog on the registration page which I want to do it within a user account when they are logged in.
>> text above the status update box that says something like “What’s New?” so members know to click in there.
>> I would like to know how to get that back?
@39images @bphelp for that specific item
1. create a new folder named buddypress in your active WP theme
2. within that buddypress folder you created, create a folder named activity
3. download https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/post-form.php and place it in your new activity folder like so:
wp-content/themes/NAME-OF-YOUR-WP-THEME/buddypress/activity/post-form.php
4. Open up post-form.php. On line 21 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/post-form.php#L21 insert http://pastebin.com/z8e7xyRZ
5. Add the following to your theme’s stylesheet:
#whats-new-form p {
margin-left: 70px;
}
@webifiedgeek change to BP Default theme, you’d find the link to create a blog in the Blogs Directory page, right beside the title, Blogs. Or, create a link in your custom menu to create a blog. Assuming you kept the slug blogs in Settings > BuddyPress > Pages, the link would be http://example.com/blogs/create as simple as that.
Firmasite 1.1 released:
https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11437
Download: https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/firmasite.1.1.0.zip?nostats=1
This theme now directly supports buddypress + bbpress without needing child theme.
Example site and my blog that using this theme:

I am having problems with my multisite/buddypress installation. I have it where users can register for a blog upon registration, but if someone just registers for a user account I can seem to find where I can create a blog from the user account. There is a ‘sites’ tab in the BuddyPress profile but there is no option to create a blog after you have already created a user account and no blog.
The question is how can I get a user to register a blog within the user account profile under the ‘sites’ tab?
Can anyone help me please????
Hi all,
I have installed my Buddyress website in WordPress Multisite mode and activated the option “Blogs and user accounts can register”. Now, new users can register on my site and on the registration page they can click on “Yes, i’d like to create a new site”. For so far, everything goes fine..
But.. What if a user doesn’t click “Yes, i’d like to create a new site” when creating his account? How could the user still create his “site” if he wants to?
Hugo, I asked him directly cause he has been one of the only really helpful people in the forum – to me at least.
The last thread about the two plugins was probably one of the best discussions I’ve heard on buddypress. It was two people debating on the future of BP Media, which is essentially the future of BP. The sad part is that the conversation was (censored) stopped.
Media does not have to be MS only as long as WordPress can contain BP avatars I am sure there is a solution for both. If relationships can be assigned by specifying friend, colleague or family – then assign values to who can see what then it should be doable.
djpaul, I originally titled the post what you retitled it as, however realized “Pink elephant” is exactly what this should be titled. And I would actually have preferred that you left the title as such, instead of censoring my post.

@modemlooper, you wouldn't happen to have any plans on creating something similar to what you mentioned above – would you? Because I really cannot see using the heavily coded plugins that are out there.
Hi!
I have a couple BuddyPress questions that I cannot seem to find answers for. I am a long time WordPress user and BP looks great.
1.) I see where BuddyPress creates a Registration page during the install, but I cannot find a registration form. Do I have to build my own form?
And is if possible to use WP form plugins like Formidable and Gravity? How do most BuddyPress admins handle forms?
2.) Regarding Forums. I noticed that BuddyPress also provides an option to install either Group and Site wide forums. Are these forums the same as bbPress?
3.) Are there any privacy options built into BuddyPress that will allow users to make their pages viewable to “Members Only” and “Public” or only certain “Member Groups”? Or do I have to use plugins for this?
Thank you for any advice. I am happy about discovering BuddyPress. This looks like a great adventure!
If I could go back in time and I was Andy Peatling BuddyPress would have less features. I would extend only the user capabilities of WordPress. Create better relational hooks. Allow developers to create anything and let the users of a site interact with this content. You can do this now and BuddyPress gives you status posting and relates activity and users using groups OOTB.
You can extend the activity through meta and the groups have an api to extend it as well. There are a few media plugins but in my opinion they should be using WordPress media capabilities by creating an API to extend the media capabilities to the front end and then let developers create on top of it. This will create more unique opportunities for site creators instead of being stuck with only one core solution.
@bphelp Google shows some snippets here, here and here.
@mikegarlick Haven’t seen that issue using BP Default theme even in BP 1.6.2. First thing, I suggest you upgrade to latest WP 3.5.1 and6 BP 1.6.4. If you prefer not to upgrade, though it begs the question as to why, download a copy of BP 1.6.2 and re-upload BuddyPress manually, i.e. via s/FTP (see download link near bottom of page https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.2 )
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/
I was having this issue on an older install so I setup a fresh wordpress 3.5.1 multisite install with buddypress 1.7 beta(trunk-6829) and the bp groupblog 1.8. This is the only items on this install. When I set group blogs to redirect to the blogs home page if I click on the blog tab to go to their home page it redirects to the main sites wp-admin page. Any ideas?
@daronna I assume that you’re on a Windows server thus trying to get pretty permalinks working as required by BuddyPress by appending /index.php. That method is not going to work with BuddyPress.
I suggest deactivating BuddyPress first. Then check out the other methods for pretty permalinks without /index.php on Windows server:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Permalinks_without_mod_rewrite
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/developer-docs/iis7-web-config/
If you still have issues with pretty permalinks, do post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting
Only activate BuddyPress after the issue is resolved.
I would like to know how to do this, I am not a buddypress expert so It will take some explaining and even better some code on a github link. I would like to add this to my header and get rid of the toolbar, I would also like to add the BP links that is usually in the right of the toolbar into the the header. Reason being I don’t want that bar up there and it would make it look more custom without the toolbar that gives it away that it is a WP/BP social network. I like how facebook has their notifications, messages, and friend request split out. This is what I am trying to do. I got a little info on this link but not enough to do anything with : http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/27888/how-to-split-out-buddypress-notifications-drop-down-items-to-their-own-top-level @boonebgorges explains it but not in much detail. I would appreciate any guidance on how to get this done. Thanks!
@findly01 first, see note above about pasting long blocks of code.
The code for that specific theme’s functions.php is also available online at https://themes.svn.wordpress.org/frisco-for-buddypress/1.6.13/functions.php
