Your site says straight from the source, but you are not the author of any of the plugins.
makes it look more like you want in on the action too. 
Well wordpress has been upgraded to 3.1 (was 2.9.2), BuddyPress is more or less functioning but we need to upgrade. I am prepared to re-write the theme, but I am concerned about migrating data. Do you think following the 1.0 upgrade directions on a 1.0rc1 version will retain the data? Or do I need to be prepared to extract and map data into the new install?

Just because it’s not illegal doesn’t make it morally right. Bad karma, mate…
You talking about ideals is quite funny, me thinks!
This is such a huge, complicated issue. I’ve not even tried this myself. BP 1.2’s theme system changed, so you will be reverting back to the new default theme unless you build a new theme. Any specific BuddyPress plugins you are running will almost certainly stop working in some way. You’ve also got several WordPress versions to step through.
What version of WordPress are you using? I’m guessing WPMU 2.7?
For example at the top of the twentyten theme’s style.css is the following line:
`Tags: custom-menu, sticky-post, microformats, rtl-language-support, translation-ready`
If you change it to:
`Tags: buddypress, custom-menu, sticky-post, microformats, rtl-language-support, translation-ready`
then that warning will go away.
However that warning is to tell you that the theme isn’t buddypress compatible so it needs to be converted/updated.
This can be done by following the guide in the buddypress codex: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
Some themes, such as Suffusion, have their own conversion pack, so it would be worth checking to see if one is available first.
Your site has been compromised. You should not post admin username/password information in forums – and it’s been posted here for more than 7 hours. It would be safer to post a screenshot of the admin dashboard. I recommend that you backup database and server files, do a Tools > Export XML for good measure. Restart from scratch..Change username and password and upload clean copies of your theme and plugins.
What do you mean by you don’t see the Site Admin? I see the admin panel when I logged in with Site Admin priviledges for a single WordPress installation.
Not choosing sites from signup process, but after registrations, you can place this widget to the sidebar of a site so as to users can register with that site.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-users-sidebar-widget/
Deactivate BuddyPress and plugins. Check if you as test user can register and log in with WordPress. If you can’t then you have to resolve this in WordPress.org forums before activating BuddyPress.
If this is a new build, wipe it all clean again, and just install WordPress. Test that a default, out-of-the-box WordPress works fine. This means things like writing posts, editing posts, writing comments, changing theme, and — specifically — make sure you can customise the permalinks (Settings -> Permalinks, in wp-admin).
Ah, yes; you’ve run into a known issue when if WordPress is in a subdir, the BuddyPress URL can’t share any of the same words. In this case, you need to rename the mentors group to something else.
as far as I know,there is no buddypress or wordpress themes similar to this site.
but it is possible to develop something like this using buddypress.
I’ve developed similar add to fav for my project but haven’t included to show who have added it to fav yet, but the functionality is already there.I’m planing to do that in the future.
I think it’s the best to hire a experienced developer who can develop BP theme like this for you from scratch.
BTW this site is awesome !
TX, for sharing.
Heads up: the combined plugin in underway, and will actually be a very powerful plugin where users can vote/rate/like ANYTHING in wordpress and buddypress. I’m developing this for another client, who is paying for the core functionality to vote on images, and they don’t need all the fancy stuff that usually comes in a plugin, such as nice admin options, translation, hooks, filters, etc. They also don’t need to vote groups, forum posts, blog posts, custom post types, blog comments, activity items, etc. With donations I’m also going to write scripts to convert old plugin data to the new plugin, same with group reviews plugin.
If people in the community would like these things, then please make a donation so i can do the extra work and release it properly to the community as an excellent, flexible, extensible, strong plugin. If not donations come it, it will just be for rating images using BP Albums. Even small donations count, so don’t be shy. Paypal donations to deryk@bluemandala.com. I will include all donors in the plugin read me, so please mention any website you’d like me to link to.
To be clear, this plugin is happening 100%, it is already being built. All donations go to the things the community needs that the client does not, as mentioned above. So don’t worry about making a donation and it not being released. 
And as a perk, I’ll email early versions to anyone who makes a donation. (if any of this is getting unethical from an open source standpoint, please let me know!)
Is your permalink structure correct? Sometimes if the permalink structure is not a certain one buddypress returns 404 pages. If permalink structure is okay then try to look for the .htaccess file on your server as you need to have some code in this file for wordpress to function with other permalink structures.
If you need help let me know as I set up wordpress with buddypress for my hosting customers.
Hi mercime, i had run the both latest versions… wordpress and buddypresss and i had installed Gd library. The picture upload sucesfully and the button adjust is show but i can’t edit the crop or resize to adjuts the imagen… nothing happen.
Do you think that it could be an conflict with someone plugin of worpress like the ‘user photo’?
http://seventhstyle.com, I have Buddypress deactivated now because I don’t want it to show the broken pages.
I set up a replica here: http://a.seventhstyle.com/wordpress/members/admin/activity/just-me/
It has the same exact issues.

Save file and then open up the next 12 files per walkthrough and do the same. Upload the revised folders/files to your active WP theme folder in server. Clear cache. Check layout.
@vfundude62 I see Dfa327, the Ajax Chat plugin dev, more active in WP.org forums https://wordpress.org/tags/buddypress-ajax-chat?forum_id=10
But right now I’m unable to even successfully create new topics in the group forums
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/troubleshooting-posting-in-group-forums/#post-97513
I was thinking of possibly trying to integrate the Mingle Forum to use as a ‘Global board’ while the groups had their own forums.
You can install and use a WP forum plugin like Mingle Forum, SimplePress, etc. The tricky part is integrating the plugin with BuddyPress i.e. forum posts in Mingle Forum or SimplePress won’t appear in sitewide activity if you do not create a “bridge” script or plugin nor will forum topics posted in BP group forums appear in Mingle or SimplePress forum topc list. If that’s acceptable to you, then using one of WP forum plugins is the way to go for your “global board”
creating a ‘global board/forum’
There is a premium BP-compatible Global Forum plugin working on top of the internal bbPress forum installation http://buddydev.com/plugins/global-forums/
P.S. If you’re not in a rush, bbPress is being converted to a WP plugin. See roadmap > Milestone: Plugin
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap
Any ideas? I’m sure it won’t be as easy as WordPress and querying things like
?php query_posts(“category_name=?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain()@mentions”);
?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();
but is there anything similar?
@imjscn it won’t be a beast, it will be … poetry
and in case anyone else is reading this thread in the future regarding the in-depth discussion about using db tables or not, I wanted to mention one thing I learned.
You can insert or update the wordpress database – existing tables or your own – using nice built in class functions. for example:
`
$wpdb->mytable = $wpdb->base_prefix . ‘mytable’;
$values = array(
‘col1’ => $myval1,
‘col2’ => $myval2,
);
$wpdb->insert($wpdb->mytable, $values);
`
doing things this way, you gain all the security features of the wordpress database class, and don’t have to work about preparing or escaping the query. it’s done for you. $wpdb->update also exists. more here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wpdb_Class
I also had this problem.
The problem seemed to go away when I changed “Disable activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts?” to Yes (under BuddyPress General Settings).
Just an FYI, the replies that disappeared were to forum posts, but the notifier email said they were replies to an “update.”
I’d like to also be able to disable activity stream commenting for Updates too, but now I am not sure if that is necessary.
Of course it would be nice to allow activity stream commenting on forum posts…. but I just can’t take the chance that any replies to forums will be lost. The forum is a central feature and selling point for my site.
During the period that this problem started, I had:
+Tried to “connect to WordPress.com” using JetPack button, only got my homepage, looked at the features of JetPack and decided to deactivate and delete it.
+Added, then deleted, the Twitter Connect plugin.
So I guess it’s possible the problem happened in the install and uninstall of those plugins?
Did anyone else here do something similar with their plugins prior to having this problem?
