@c930586 Might be that something went wrong with the compatibility process. What WP theme are you using? We have a list of around 110 “template-packed” WP themes at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes with different instructions based on the HTML structure of each theme.
@mrm222 @rickkumar just to clarify
BP Multi Network plugin = multiple instances of BP within multisite installation with different groups, activities, etc. but with shared users across the network.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/
BuddyPress Multi Network plugin = multiple instances of BP within multisite installation with different groups, activities, etc and different users per subsite. (can be shared users but you’d have to code it yourself or hire a developer to do so)
BuddyPress Multi Network
Here are a few options I thought of off the top of my head:
1) You might consider using a “membership” plugin. I don’t have a lot of experience with them myself, but I think one of the features of some is the ability to use a “key” to register (think of it as a password). You could give them the “key” at the end of your survey.
2) If you are savvy with code, you can likely pass a query string via the url bar as well if your survey software allows it.
3) Password-protect the BuddyPress registration page. You should be able to do this via the WordPress page editor. You could give all the participants the password.
Right, I used that plugin and was not able to get it to work. Content from a sub site shows up on other subsites.

Hey, I just saw the reply to this ticket. (Sorry about the time it took to reply)
Regarding
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4573
I’ve done several fresh installs of WordPress, then installing the BuddyPress plugin using (Mamp).
Using WordPress 3.4.2. / BuddyPress Version 1.6.1
When I post activity (either on my localhost or my live site)
The Activity time is right BUT
Several Hours are added when I visit the Activity panel inside my dashboard “wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-activity”
I use the dashboard Activity because of its search and dates.
I would even assume it does this in http://testbp.org/activity/ but the Dashboard activity panel is hidden. Let me know if there are any fixes or if I need to re-clarify anything. Thanks for your help!
I have the same issue in this video with bbpress, with latest wordpress and buddypress
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ___b7gQGU
and I use sitewide forum, and not only the group forum have issue but also the site’s forum’s thread cannot be edited, anyone experience the same thing? Thanks!
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/ though I haven’t checked it with BP 1.6.1 and WP 3.4.2
Hi,
I just installed wordpress and buddypress. I activated it. I ran the installation wizard. As soon as it is finished, the system reports me this error:
“The website encountered an error while retrieving http://localhost:8888/wordpress/XXXXXXX/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bp-components. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.”
I’ve tried many times always with the same result. I’ve tried with buddypress default theme as well as other compatible ones.
P.s. I’m running Mac Os X 10.6.8, using MAMP (the works perfectly well before installing Buddypress)
The funny thing is that if I try to open, on example, Wp-Config with Text Editor, the system now tells me that the “application does not exist”… Yeah, right…
Please help! It’s already a few days I’m on it, without any result!
Thank you
Giovanni
As the mightymo mentioned above, you can create a sidebar/widget area in the header of your theme. Read how http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/05/26/the-complete-guide-to-creating-widgets-in-wordpress-28
You’re right that BP is a plugin, but we don’t really take over any of WordPress. We extend some parts of features found in WP — for example, user profiles — but we don’t take anything away. BP and other plugins work together fine.
Was there a particular concern you had?
Hello,
I’m interested in preventing users from entering more than some set character limit (say, 300 characters) in one or all of the custom profile fields I’ve set up. I’ve seen a few threads here and on StackExchange saying one needs to either use HTML or Javascript, but I haven’t been able to figure out exactly where (specific Buddypress files and line numbers) to make these changes. I’d prefer to limit characters on the user input side of things, not just let them enter as much as they want but limit how much I display.
Would some kind soul walk me through how I might do this, assuming out-of-the-box latest versions of WP and BP? I’m thinking I need to make changes somewhere inside buddypress/bp-xprofile, but haven’t been able to get anything to work… e.g.
– this StackExchange thread (http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/36159/how-to-limit-character-length-in-buddypress-function-output) doesn’t tell me exactly which files/lines to alter, so I haven’t been able to get its solution to work
– haven’t been able to figure out this Javascript solution (linked in another thread on this forum)–where to place the function and textarea code, and do I replace existing code?
Pertinent specifics:
Wordpress 3.4.2, running locally via MAMP
Buddypress 1.6.1 (latest stable release) installed
Using the standard BuddyPress Default theme
Thank you for your help!
Ok, so here is what I would like to do, and I’m not sure if it is possible with any existing plugins. I have set up a wordpress multi-site network. I would like to be able to set up a bunch of subsites, some that have buddypress, and some that don’t. Each subnetwork would have its own content that doesn’t show up on other sites.
So, basically, someone would come to my site [example,com] and they would sign up for [example,com] login. This login would then allow them to, for example join the [example,com/kittens] network for kitten enthusiasts (just an example, haha). They also would maybe want to join [example,com/deathmetal] which is it’s own network. They could use the same login for both of those sites, but the content they posted on the kitten site would not show up on the death metal site and vice versa. They could then also use this login to post comments on [example,com/money] which is not a buddypress site, but still a subsite of [example,com].
The problem I am running into now is that I have multiple sites set up, but it seems that buddypress is installed on them all and content posted on a subsite is posted on all the sites.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
Just checked ,… Whenever i log into my sub sites … i get the following errors in my log file===
WordPress database error Table ‘wp_multisite.wp_3_bp_user_blogs’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT b.blog_id) FROM wp_3_bp_user_blogs b LEFT JOIN wp_blogs wb ON b.blog_id = wb.blog_id WHERE wb.public = 1 AND wb.deleted = 0 AND wb.spam = 0 AND wb.mature = 0 AND wb.archived = ‘0’ AND user_id = 0 made by require_once(‘wp-load.php’), require_once(‘wp-config.php’), require_once(‘wp-settings.php’), do_action(‘init’), call_user_func_array, bp_init, do_action(‘bp_init’), call_user_func_array, bp_setup_nav, do_action(‘bp_setup_nav’), call_user_func_array, BP_Blogs_Component->setup_nav, bp_blogs_total_blogs_for_user, BP_Blogs_Blog::total_blog_count_for_user
===
Any idea what is this about?

Hey guys,
I’m having the same problem as well; I got this link. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-pending-activations/
I just got it so haven’t tried it yet. its an older version plugin so i dont know if it work yet but hopefully it helps all of us.
Thanks for the help, does this even work for wordpress 3.4.2 and buddypress 1.6.1?
Hi:
I have 2 problems… first this:
BuddyPress is almost ready. You must update your permalink structure to something other than the default for it to work.
I can’t chage it, there is other way?
The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activity Streams, User Groups, Members, Activate, Register.
I go to Repair, and in the list of that pages, there’s not the pages.
Troubleshoot using https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/check-email/
If things were working last week and they aren’t working now, then something must have changed. Usually this issue is caused by bad MX records, but it could stem from 100 other things.
It wouldn’t hurt to check with GoDaddy.
Also try using https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ and sync it up with a Gmail account.
BuddyPress requires that users activate their accounts after registering. The activation link is sent via email to the registrant. It is likely that either your php mail configuration is messed up or that the email in question went into the user’s spam folder.
In any case, you can use this plugin to manage activations: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-pending-activations/
Hi All,
I am really confused about the installation of the buddydev plugin (http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-multi-network/).
The documentation says:–
WordPress Multisite 3.3+(should work with 3.1+ but I haven’t tested with that)
BuddyPress 1.5+
BuddyPress Multiblog Enabled( BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG defined true)
BuddyPress Multi Network Plugin Network activated.
I am using
wp multisite 3.4.2
buddypress 1.6.1
I have defined multiblog in the wp-config.php have also tried defining it in bp-custom.php
and by “BuddyPress Multi Network Plugin Network activated” I assume to activate the plugin by Brajesh (Is it right or I have to install another plugin before installing Brajesh’s plugin. )
I am considering the last one says to activate Brajesh’s plugin network wide.
I did it. and when I login and try post in the site activity I get the following error “There was a problem posting your update, please try again.”
Am i doing anything wrong? Please guide me guys …
Thanks in Advance
Hello i am owner of liju.pl
As you can see: http://liju.pl/aktywnosc-2/
Activity feed as well as other buddypress pages are going outside template to the right. So the widght is too big?
Also sidebar is under the content instead of RIGHT side or totally dissapearing.
I could use some help. Thank you.
BTW: Its latest wordpress.
– If you prefer to hire people professionally, then you just need to find kind persons that good in moderating discussions, familiar with your niche, and also familiar with WordPress (familiar with BuddyPress is a plus).
– Many sites choose some of their most active members to be a moderator. Just find and promote them to be moderators.
– I believe shared hosting is enough to start.. Requirements will grow along with your members / activities progress and your site complexity.. Also read: https://buddypress.org/about/requirements/
(But anyway, it would be great if you learn how to use dot / period to separate sentences in a paragraph
)
Good.. I think linking to wordpress.org would be great too
