I’ve looked everywhere trying to find a fix to this but it seems very difficult to restrict usernames from having spaces. This has created quite abit of problem on my site with people creating usernames like Aaa Bbb and not realizing their username gets changed to Aaa-Bbb. There was a plugin addressing this but it no longer works. ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/restrict-usernames/ ).
@bilalturkmen This forum is for BuddyPress-related issues. Please post at the WordPress Forums -> https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting and do include more information about your install like : WP version? When did you see the message? Did you install/delete and plugin/theme just before this happened? That will help the volunteers there help you.

@monkfish13 I suggest that you deactivate BuddyPress before creating a network. If you encounter any multisite issues, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite
Make sure your multisite is working as expected before activating BP.
Please do not bump your post here, considering it’s less than a day since you first posted.
1. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/ – need to create a network/go multisite
OR
2. http://buddydev.com/plugins/blog-categories-for-groups/
== I would like to activate the personal blogs for users on my site. ==
You need to Create a Network first (go multisite) https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG is a different animal entirely https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/bp_enable_multiblog/
The name of the menu is ‘my-account-buddypress’. This is a buddypress menu and therefore you cannot find it in the wordpress adminbar.php file. It is added when you installed buddypress. You can remove it by adding the following to your theme’s functions.php file:
function remove_bp_adminbar() {
global $wp_admin_bar;
$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu(‘my-account-buddypress’);
}
add_action( ‘wp_before_admin_bar_render’, ‘remove_bp_adminbar’ );
If someone knows the names of the submenus in this buddypress menu I would like to know them so that I can remove the redundant ones (media, forms, friends etc).
I tested the code on the bp-default theme (only wordpress and buddypress activated). It works on normal pages, but not on the buddypress pages (members/activity etc). Hence, it behaves the same as on the pagelines theme.
I tried different priority settings for the filter in the plugin, but without any results. Any other suggestions I could try?
I’m working on a project, and I very much would like to use wordpress. I need the ability to have a dating site type of website. Except instead of looking for dates, they will be looking for other professionals in their respective fields. I have heard good things about buddypress but I’m not sure if this is exactly what I need. Please help!

Hi,
Well it is a pagelines (a theme) plugin. Here is the plugin code: https://gist.github.com/4077479
Naturally, I posted this question on their forum. They answered that it is probably a buddypress problem, because they are using a wordpress filter. The plugin does add body classes (for browsers and devices) on all other pages (non buddypress pages).
Why should this not be working on buddypress pages? Yes. I have little knowledge of buddypress, that is why I am here.
Well, I did mention in my previous post that https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/ had shared users. I have not used that plugin before so I recommend that you read
– http://wpmututorials.com/news/new-features/multiple-buddypress-social-networks/ and
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/installation/
You’ve created one network when you went multisite. With the plugin above, there’s one instance of BuddyPress per network. Therefore, if you want more BP instances, you have to create a commensurate number of networks with WP Multi Network or Networks+. At this point, I would venture that you should have a dedicated server to service all networks with respective BuddyPress instances.
This is way more advanced and complicated than Brajesh’s plugin where you only need one network (multisite) install and each subsite has a separate BP instance. Therefore I would suggest that you get the premium Networks+ to avail of experienced support which I think you’d need.
@mercime
I was thinking exactly the opposite. Thanks for clarifying the differences between both the plugins.
I want to have different domains with different sites/groups/activities/forums etc but I want to share the users among all the different networks i.e. once a user signs up, then he/she should be able to login and use any of the BP network site in the entire network.
So I basically need https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/
I just checked the plugin page and it says: Segregate your BP networks in a multi-network WP install.
Requires BuddyPress 1.5 or greater.
This plugin segregates BuddyPress social networks in a multi network WordPress install so that each WP network has a different social network. The user base is still shared across the WP install.
Multiple WP networks can be created with either:
WP Multi Network
Networks+
Q: Does this mean I need to install “WP Multi Network” along with “BP-Multi-Network” plugin?
If yes, which one first and which one 2nd to install?
I have WordPress.org I install Buddypress social network Now I cant get to my Dashboard. Website is asking for -Activation key, which I dont know. What must I do?
Hi,
I am using a plugin that uses the standard body_class filter to add body classes depending on your browser/device. However, it is not working on buddypress pages. Is buddypress not using this filter? Or could there be something else?
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/body_class
Thank you.
Hi guys! I wanted to add a tab in each BP profile page to show all the author’s published posts on the website (not MU WP).
I’ve noticed a plugin that do that (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-posts-on-profile/), but since it doesn’t has a pager, it shows only a few posts. So it’s useless.
Is there any easy way to do that? Thanks!
Thanks! I am having problems, I can’t log-in my own website all evening at WordPress.org, its asking for valid “activation key” which I don’t know. – Help Please!!!
@themightymo Yes, post feature requests aka enhancements there. Know that feature requests with patches already attached are welcome. Providing patches to fix bugs in trac will get you the warmest welcome 
Before posting, you should do a search first to see if someone has already posted same enhancement there. Do also check out https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap
== I don’t see a link to take me to my home page similar to facebook, essentially my activity stream. ==
What theme are you using? If you’re using BP Default theme, you can click on the link under your avatar to go to your Activity Stream page. Or, if you meant that you wanted the user to be automatically directed to their activity page upon log in, check out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/
I agree that this causes confusion. You might try creating a ticket here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket
@mercime – Thanks for the info. I was also wondering that about the WP.org forums.
Is this (https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/) the right place to put a buddypress.org feature request? It seems awkward, since I am not requesting a new feature be added to BP core. I have never submitted a BP ticket, so I want to make sure I start off on the right foot.
== What it doesn’t show is whether or not someone replied to my reply. ==
I know what you mean, ala WPorg forums. We don’t have that notification nor custom view at this time for the group forums. I use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscrioption/ for own sites.
Not sure whether a feature enhancement for the aforementioned will be entertained at this time because come BP 1.7, group forums will be migrated/merged with sitewide forums. If you feel strongly about it, you can open trac ticket for this.
This sounds like a basic jQuery+WordPress question and not necessarily a BuddyPress-specific question. You will need to do a couple of things to pull this off:
1) Enqueue jQuery
2) Write/copy-and-paste a jQuery script that limits the number of characters in a specific field. Then enqueue that script
Start here (https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script) and know that there will be a bit of a learning curve!
