Then use a regular WP theme for the other blogs.
Re: avatars not showing in sublog
– That is an issue. There’s a fix that worked for some https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4252
(note: this is only part of the solution for me, I also want an entry which was made on the activity stream also as a wordpress comment…) — there is a plugin for that and i installed it and it worked for me…
i think the right one is “BuddyPress Activity Stream as Blog Comments”
google indexing my site does not make blog comments appear in the activity stream though…
@marutim Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your flare theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your flare theme folder in server, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
`
with the following:
`
<div id="precontent" class="”>
<div id="content" class="”>
<article id="post-” >
`
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
…
` or `
..
` to
`
`
where applicable, then move this to just right UNDER “ Just watch out when you do this in the /activity/index.php page.
Save files.
If you deactivate BP and create a blog/subsite from the backend, can you go to the newly created blog? If not, then you have to resolve the issue first at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite
in my case, it was resolved by letting google index the website, in settings – privacy.
No idea why, but now it works!

Hi-
I would love it if someone would look at this page and tell me how to tweak it. http://www.bcheritagefairs.ca/activity/
Its in the Next theme using BP and the Template pack to make it adapt. I copied the page.php code to the activity/index.php page, as per instructions from http://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes.
It is so close I can taste it, yet so far from perfect and I’m out of ideas on what else to change.
Please help!
Hi Everyone!!
It just started all of a sudden. It has been working just fine for about 4-5 days but now on the activities page, when I click on reply, it reloads the page, or nothing happens at all. My Buddypress installations has been working just fine, and it started all of a sudden. No plugins have updated, no changes to the theme, nothing. It’s really odd cause it was fine last night, then it was like that this morning, then it worked fine again, and now it isn’t. Any ideas? Oh, and I am using the latest version of Buddypress and WordPress. Thanks!
Can you go to Appearance > Themes? If not, I would re-upload WordPress manually. If you created WP via webhost script — fantastico, softalicious, etc — then I suggest you start from scratch and install WP manually https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Install
If that doesn’t work, please start a new topic as this thread deals specifically with the Sahifa theme compatibility with BP.
Hi All,
I have tried and installed the BuddyPress to my multisite wordpress installation.
I have used the bp-template-pack to follow the steps to tweak the files to get the buddypress pages working.
I am stuck with the third step. Can Someone please help me make changes to the required files to get the buddyPress pages work.
I have also checked in the Template packed wordpress themes, Flare theme is not enlisted there 
Some Prerequisite infos:–
I am using the wordpress 3.4.2
I am using BuddyPress 1.6.1
Wp and Bp are fresh installations, no upgrades from older versions.
I am using a themeforest theme http://flare.bringthepixel.com/
I am using the child-theme concept to make the changes.
I am trying to make it work in my local, so i have multisite (sub-directory).
I am using a ubuntu machine.

Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
Hi,
I’m using WordPress 3.4.2, BuddyPress 1.6.1 and W3 Total Cache 0.9.2.4.
There’s an issue when using page cache that doesn’t appear to log users out properly. When logging in, it sometimes still shows the “log in” link as if the user isn’t logged in and other times it doesn’t let the user log out.
Disabling “Don’t cache pages for logged in users” fixes the issue, but I was wondering if it would be possible to get this to work properly without disabling page cache for logged in users?
Regards,
Scott.
I didnt understand much of your question but as per I understood it.
There are wordpress functions to know if the user is logged in or not and to know the current page.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_page
Hope it helps 
@Paul,
If I get a WordPress user import/export plugin, what else should I be considering for the extra, missing profile data? Manual entry?
Thanks.
No, please don’t take it wrong.. I’m not expecting BuddyPress to be exactly what I want..
I’m new here and I’m not expecting much.. Please don’t feel like being forced by me or something like that..
I’m just interested in BuddyPress and very excited to know more about the concept of this special plugin.. I notice that BuddyPress is ‘more than just another WordPress plugin’.
Err…, so based on your answers, as you said, @modemlooper , can we conclude as below :
BuddyPress is ONLY aggregates WordPress content… but this plugin is not deeply integrated with WordPress content.
BuddyPress is sitting on WordPress CMS platform, without following how WordPress’ system in managing users and content.
BuddyPress plugin adds user relationships to WordPress, but that relationships has nothing to do with WordPress content and user management..”
(In my opinion, I’m just thinking that it should be great if in the future BuddyPress is more integrated with WordPress. But that’s just my opinion.. It’s only a feedback from me to this community.. that’s okay.. Just don’t take it wrong).
In your theme, you can use the is_user_logged_in() function to show content to only logged-in users.

Hello
I have created a brand new wordpress site using 3.4.2
the first thing i done was install buddypress.
I installed using all the pre configured settings and chose the buddypress template.
as soon as i activate the page goes to an error page.
the website loads but the wp-admin will not.
If i use ftp and rename the buddypress plugin folder to something else i can then gain access to the admin page but obviously the website itself wont open.
im stumped and thought maybe someone could help!
thank you
Take a look at this, might do everything you need:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-hierarchy/
Note – It can have minor conflicts (mainly css, afaik) with other plugins.
Or you can use the
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/
I’ve used that api to create things like “Team Sheets” within a group / league.
You can do a lot with it, if you can program.
Yes, WP + BP users are the same. Yes to WP/BP profile data in different places.
As I’ve said in another thread of yours, admins can edit all BuddyPress information from the front-end of your site. The codex is probably as good as it gets unless someone’s written a blog post, or if you can find an old post on this forum.
It’s split like this because BuddyPress’ profile system is more powerful and therefore complicated than WordPress’, and it wasn’t possible to use the WordPress database tables for BuddyPress profile data.
I’m not aware of any existing plugins that do CSV import for BuddyPress profile information, or any that do BuddyPress profile export. If you’re just looking to import WordPress user data, there might be something on the WordPress.org plugins directory.
Admin users can already change any users’ profile data via the front-end, not wp-admin. We’re building out screens in wp-admin; in 1.6, we added an Activity admin area, and in 1.7, we’re introducing groups. It’s not as quick or easy as “add it to the WordPress user profile admin”.
I suspect in future we’ll probably just link to WordPress.org.
I am also interested in this.
Guys, I am a newbie but I found this functionality in plugin “BP Posts on Profile” – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-posts-on-profile/
It’s two years old, but it works.
FYI, it displays post links as per their WordPress loop presentation (ie. large headline and excerpt, per the BP Default theme) rather than with smaller text as though in the Activity stream.
Yes they are using a WordPress ratings plugin because that’s all they need. A BuddyPress user IS a WordPress user. BuddyPress just makes it easier to make WP content more social. a lot of WP plugins work with BP like the ratings plugin. Your expecting BuddyPress to be exactly what YOU want OOTB. It should only give you building blocks to achieve your goal and it does. The reason I showed you Tasty Kitchen is that its a perfect example of they had a site that users added posts(recipes) with ratings. Nothing new here WordPress gives you this through various plugins. They then used BuddyPress to aggregate user content and allow user relationships.
As a newbie, I’m finding it bizarre that the system apparently keeps two separate sets of user profile data in two different parts of the world – standard WordPress user stuff and BuddyPress stuff. Right?
