Thanks @mercime. I found this one yesterday but was having some difficulty getting it to work. I am brand new to wordpress so this is most likely the reason. 🙂
I need to go to my main blogs dashboard and go to menus. Then just create my menu from the links on the left correct? Or am I totally off?
I have a Harmony theme from Elegant Themes. I would like to integrate BuddyPress into it. Please find below some info.
My site URL: http://faintlight.besaba.com
Software:
WordPress : v3.5
BuddyPress: v1.6.2
BP Comp : v1.2.1
Please find below the codes.

Hello Hugo,
I need a little more detail on how to do each of your above suggestions. I know how to add a new page to regular wordpress but dont know how to make it a buddypress page. As for dragging the loops I have no idea what to do. I follow instructions pretty well so if you take me through the steps it will be more than appreciated.
What they said. Most important, backup database & server files and to expect that plugins/themes from BP 1.1 won’t work in current WP/BP versions.
With Buddypress enabled, blogging clients that access the xmlrpc cannot connect and give an error message of: blogger.getUsersBlogs method received was invalid: Invalid response document returned from XmlRpc server.
With Buddypress disabled, blogging clients can connect fine.
In relation, this also affects JetPack and is the reason why Buddypress must be disabled before JetPack can be connected to WordPress.
Something in Buddypress is either a) locking the XmlRpc file, b) changing the standard XmlRpc api calls, or c) something else.
Has anyone seen this before?
Hi,
what kind of follower do you need ? Only from within your site or social followres ?
For the first case, check here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-follow-me/
how difficult would id be to create one
– huh, depends on you. Read here: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/plugin-development/creating-a-plugin/
Sorry ! There is a plugin for nested comments, but it will only work if you use bbPress as standalone forum. Doesn’t work for group forums.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-threaded-replies/
We’re aware: the bug report is at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4566
I think we’ll release a 1.6.3 soon.
Thanks @modemlooper, works great..:)
BuddyPress 1.6.2 requires WordPress 3.5.
I have done a BP 1.2.4 to BP 1.5.7(ish) and it worked fine. Interested to see how well a 1.1 to 1.6.2 goes. I’d suggest not worrying about stepping the BuddyPress upgrades, and doing something like:
1) Switch to a default WordPress theme (twentyten).
2) Disable all plugins.
3) Upgrade WordPress.
4) Add new version of BuddyPress, and activate it, and do that upgrade.
5) Update all other plugins, and reactivate them.
6) Switch back to original theme.
Make backups
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_image_editor() in /home/iyke2002/public_html/9japeople.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php on line 521
Am getting this error anythime I try to change my avater. I noticed this only happens when the image is too large. How do I solve this problem. do I need to adjust the size so it can allow any size upload for croping
I am using wordpress 3.4 and buddpress 1.6.2
Working with the Buddyboss theme.
My site: http://www.9japeople.com
Even then, I didn’t see any option for users to create their own blog during or after account creatio
You need to create a Network or make the single site Multisite first -> https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network If you hit some snags during the process, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite for assistance.
my question is more along the lines of asking if both types of sites can co-exist as one single site.
For a single WP installed e.g. at example.com, you can only create one multisite installation by default where subsites/blogs are either set up in a subdirectory or subdomain structure.
There are plugins to make each subsite into a network of its own and set up BP in each or some of the networks https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-multi-network/ or the premium Networks+ http://wpebooks.com/networks/ You should have at least a VPS or Dedicated server when you go this route.
Hi Chouf1,
Nice reply, thanks a lot!
Will let you know if everything goes ok!
hi,
– Should I update WordPress or BuddyPress first?
WP first than BP, but together !
BP from version 1.1.2 to 1.2!important, from 1.2 to 1.5 from 1.5 to 1.6.2
Same thing for WP from 2.8.4 to 3.0!important, from 3.0 to 3.2, from 3.2 to 3.4 from 3.4 to 3.5
For each, take the versions from SVN.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags
– Does any of the versions between the 1.1.2 and the last of BP will mess up with Design?
Yes/No depends on how deep you did the changes
– Where can I edit the website Title, Description and Keywords?
From within the site admin Dashboard > General settings
As keywords are no more used by Google, they’re not necessary. Otherwise you have to hardcode them into your child theme index page
– Is there something that I need to know in order to make this update successfully?
First of all, read the codex 😀

Hi,
I recently became webmaster of an Adult related website that uses Buddypress to handle a small network of blogs.
The thing is that they are using the Version 2.8.4a for WordPress and 1.1.2 for Buddypress and this obviously need an upgrade mainly for security reasons but also for the sake of having an updated site with configured properly.
The problem is that the site is highly customized and I’m pretty sure that the automatic update is not going to work. I’m obviously going to try local first, but still I need some help with:
– Should I update WordPress or BuddyPress first?
– Does any of the versions between the 1.1.2 and the last of BP will mess up with Design?
– Where can I edit the website Title, Description and Keywords?
– Is there something that I need to know in order to make this update successfully?
Since it’s an Adult website I don’t know if I can post the link, let me know if I can.
Thanks all in advance.
I’m closing this thread as it’s a duplicate of your other one, you should not create new threads on the same topic it just confuses matters.
follow my instructions above! Yes disable all plugins and once back in activate each in turn until you find a culprit , speculate on what else it can be after you have rulled out plugins.
I deleted the plugins one by one. After deleted the buddypress plugins I could log into wordpress.
I have just re-installed the latest version of buddypress as I was running 1.6.1 so now I am running 1.6.2
I logged out and could log back in? Should I keep doing this till I find the faulty plugin?
What else could it be?
No limit. Take your install right back to basic WP only i.e NO plugins activated – rename the plugin folders to force deactivate them; then see if you can log in, if you can login with plain WP start re-activating plugins one by one.

How many plugins can you use on a site? Is there a limit?
Desperate for help here
Hi,
don’t try to prevent spammers. They already know how WP is working. 😀
So you have many unconfirmed subscriber anyway. In such case, you could resend the activation email or delete the unconfirmed account. A small plugin do this very easely:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unconfirmed/
I use it regularly on my 1.6.2 network without problems. 😉
While on the activity stream page, posting an update works perfectly. Then, submitting a comment (reply), the return page is blank. The address bar URL is http://bd.summit.net/fg/activity-stream/reply/
If I remove the /reply/ from the address bar and load the page, the reply comment is there. So, it’s just that the reply is posted, but does not return the updated activity stream page.
I’ve checked and tried all that I can think of to correct the problem with no success. Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated. If additional information is required, please inform me.
WordPress version: 3.5
BuddyPress version: 1.6.2

Thank you.
