I am using a theme called Valor from Themeforest.net (http://themeforest.net/item/valor-responsive-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/3741916).
I created a Menu item called “Dream Bank”. I want site visitors to be able to come to http://www.glassworksdream.com and click on the “Dream Bank” menu item. Then, I want them to be asked to register for the Buddypress section of the site.
When I installed and activated Buddypress, instead of that happening, the Valor template was deactivated, and Buddypress became my site template.

OK, here’s what I can offer in the way of isolating the problem.
I wanted to see if it was my server or any changes I made to the theme. It was not!
I went ahead and did a completely fresh restall of everything. When i got wordpress multisite with buddypress working again, I did not have a problem with editing the topics.
Then I brought in my custom theme files: Again nothing was off, everything worked as it should in editing topics.
It was only when I brought in my database of existing users and content did I get the 404!
So it is something wrong in the database.
What in buddypress would cause topics to 404 based on something off in the database?
Yes to the settings.
Permissions: Ok there may be something here. I can access the ftp of the live site host and I just noticed something.
I can give the uploads directory all permissions (write read execute: 777) however wordpress will create a dir for a new user avatar (uplaods/avatars/59 for ex) but it cant upload files inside it. Apparently any directory I create with the ftp user has a different owner than the directories created by wordpress itself and even though permissions are set to 777 wordpress is giving me a write permission error when trying to upload any new avatar.
My setup: WP Multisite (3.5) with Buddypress (1.6.3) and BBpress forum on local machine (with MAMP), all latest versions. Will build site on local before uploading on live server.
What I want to do is, all users should log-in/regster/reset password from buddypress login pages (front-end).
Intended users will also include admins (and super-admin, me!), and I guess they will be able to discharge their admin duties after login from BP front-end. IS this correct?
If so, The wordpress login should be absolutely invisible from frontend to any and all users even when they try to access the http://example.org/wp-login.php from browser address bar. wp-login.php should also not come up after unsuccessful login attempts or for reset password requests. Everything must be accomplished through BP login/register/reset components.
I intend to create an AJAX based widget which will be positioned on header top-right (like facebook, but with AJAX), which will handle everything without page reload. I am concocting some code snippets, but that’s for later.
Hi, I was wondering if someone ever did this before. I want the Group Admin Users to publish in the Group’s name, so that the users do not know which person is behind the group. For example:
The Group called “WordPress Developers” has the user “John Doe” as the admin. When John Doe posts an update, I want that in the activity stream the published item appears as “WordPress Developers posted an update…” something like that, can someone point me in the right direction of how can I achieve this?
THANKS!!!

Sorry for delayed response. I thought the thread was dead. Nevertheless, thanks for your directions.
It seems I chose the wrong words to describe my problem. The problem was “after the compatibility process is over, the site doesn’t look 2012-ish, with bp-default styles in BP parts.” After the compatibility process is done successfully (which I did), the theme “works fine”, but doesn’t look fine. So in other words, how to make the BP part look like 2012.
Both the BP-compatibility-pack approach and your approach worked fine, except, the theme CSS is (understandably) the same (bp-default). I ended up modifying the bp.css to make it look like it belongs to 2012 theme. I also “hard-coded” (so to speak) the BP specific changes in my child theme itself (added the bp-template-pack.php part with some modifications to functions.php), and a few minore changes to BP templates, so that my child theme is BP-compatible out of the box (no need of plugin or external CSS). Will upload the child theme somewhere and post a link here as I get to it.
Thank you @mercime for your help.
Hello there!
I have just installed Buddypress plugin on an existing wordpress installation 3.5 but i’ve been having trouble getting it running. I used my existing theme and updated it with buddypress template files, finished all wizards and it should be working, however when i go to Buddypress settings and click on any of the pages (activity, forums, etc) it gives me this – Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects.
I can’t figure out why this is happening, since all the other website pages are working normally. Except the buddypress pages.
Please if someone could help ASAP it would be greatly appreciated. This is an urgent project.
One of the pages in question – http://mantakchia.com/activity/
Thanks
well that’s not the way it works at all when network activated some aspects of buddypress provide network wide functionality but the front end display is only as i say on the primary blog/site for instance you can use buddypress to give your users the ability to create their own sub sites (in a more user friendly fashion then wordpress itself provides alone) and any activity on the various sub sites will be displayed in the network wide activity feed which again only displays on the primary blog by default.
@rayela I downloaded and installed the Easy Invitation Codes plugin for BuddyPress here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/baw-invitation-codes/developers/ (Under the “Other Versions” section) and to avoid the false update (which updates to the WordPress version) I changed the version number, found in the baw-invitation-codes/bp-eic.php, from version 1.0 to 1.0.4
It’s actually easier than you think to find that file and edit the version number. Simply go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, find “BP Easy Invitation Codes” in the plugin list and click “Edit”. It’ll take you right to the file you need. It looks like this:
/*
Plugin Name: BP Easy Invitation Codes
Plugin URI: http://mediatricks.com
Description: BP Visitors have to enter an invitation code to register on your site. The easy way!
Version: 1.0
Author: Mediatricks
Author URI: http://mediatricks.com
License: GPLv2
*/
Just add a .4 to the end of the version number and remember to check the Developer section of the plugin for updates, instead of updating automatically. Hopefully they’ll separate the two plugins soon so that we can update automatically. I’ve mentioned it in the support forum.
Once you’re set up, all you have to do is create an invitation code, which can be whatever you want, and email it to your friends. Check out the screenshots section for the plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/baw-invitation-codes/screenshots/ It’ll give you a better idea of how it works.
Are you running bbPress? I had the same issue, and narrowed it down to bbPress. I’ve filed a bug report here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2161
Here’s a temporary solution that worked for me:
`function bp_fix_blog_role($blog_id, $user_id) {
add_user_to_blog($blog_id, $user_id, ‘administrator’ );
}
add_action( ‘wpmu_new_blog’, ‘bp_fix_blog_role’, 10, 2 );`
Just drop this in `mu-plugins` if you want. You can change “administrator” to whatever role you prefer. This function runs immediately after the blog is created, so it will probably solve your problem.
Code source: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-change-the-default-administrator-role-to-author-for-new-users
For those of you interested I’ve found a temporary solution that works perfectly:
`// When a User Creates a New Blog, Force the Administrator Role (bbPress Bug Temp Fix)
function bp_fix_blog_role($blog_id, $user_id) {
add_user_to_blog($blog_id, $user_id, ‘administrator’ );
}
add_action( ‘wpmu_new_blog’, ‘bp_fix_blog_role’, 10, 2 );`
Just drop this bad boy in your `mu-plugins` folder and you’re good to go. If you want a different default role for your users, just set “administrator” to whatever you want (editor, author, etc.). The beauty of this function is that it runs immediately after the blog is created, so it will fix any issues you have during blog creation.

I’m running wordpress 3.3.2 and I’m not using a webhost script.
I have two files bp.css and bp-admin.css, these files are responsible for BuddyPress style, I got them from my old template, I do not know how I have them enter into a new wordpress theme
Looking for solution to allow buddypress members to add attachments (image/pdf/etc.) to forum topics. Any suggestions?
I’ve look at this one but it has not been updated since 08/2011 and this one but group forum is not supported.
Hi;
I’m using the last versión of buddypress and wordpress and I have this problem:
I want the registered users can publish and edit their own posts in the main loop of the wordpress theme. The registered users can publish posts (their default role is Author) but they CAN’T update it later!?, wp display “Uh… No.” error page.
When disable buddypress this works fine. What could I do to make it work?
Thank you,
Roy
When attempting to edit my BP Profile fields I get a window showing the following code.

Using WordPress version 3.5
BuddyPress version 1.6.3
http://www.thecharlottechurch.org
@judym12 There’s only one kind of BuddyPress plugin and it is free even though it’s used by many professionals – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/
Who’s trying to sell a PRO version of BuddyPress? URI? There are plugins built to be used with BuddyPress which are paid or premium or PRO versions, but those are not THE BuddyPress plugin.
I just updated my buddypress to the latest version and went through my pages to make sure everything is running smoothly. Once again I’m having an issue with my forum. It’s not showing up, I went into my setting and followed a few steps from when I had this problem before but it’s not working. These are the steps I’ve done
1. Login to the WP admin dashboard, navigate to “Settings > BuddyPress“. Enable the “Discussion Forums” component and save.
2. Navigate to “Settings > BuddyPress“. Click on the “Pages” tab. Under “Discussion Forums”, select “None” and save.
3. Navigate back to “Settings > BuddyPress“. Make sure you’re on the “Components” tab. Uncheck the “Discussion Forums” component and save.
Edit your “Community” page in WordPress, add the shortcode:
[bbp-forum-index]
So after trying that, I got a 404 page error. So I did the steps again but this time change the page from none to it’s original called “community”. After viewing the community page to see if the forum showed up all I was getting was a blank profile page instead and still no forum showing up. Can anyone help me out please?
Thank you
LOL wow! Thanks it worked 🙂
You have made the pages, right? For BuddyPress to work, you need to create some new pages in WordPress, like “Members”, “Activity”, “Activate”, et cetera. Once you’ve created those pages, you go back to the BuddyPress section and the “Pages” tab and assign the pages you just created to the new sections.
If you’re still having problems, perhaps a walk-through of the BuddyPresss Installation and Setup will help: https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/ It helped me when I first started 🙂
