Why is there no search in sitewide forums? Is there a way to make it searchable?
Edit:
I did some searching and found this plugin in the bbpress plugins directory and it works great!
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/
I am very sure. I am not having a problem making the profile page a home page, My problem is making “My Profile” show up in my component directories. On my components page it says “Associate a WordPress Page with each BuddyPress component directory” I would like to add “My Profile” to this component directory.
Currently I have “Activity Stream = activity, Discussion Forum = Forums, Groups = Groups etc..
How can I do this, sorry my english not so good sometimes.

Just managed to integrate BuddyPress into my article directory site. It may not have all the fancy stuff that make it look fantastic but I think its OK.
Thanks to WordPress Jetpack and SyntaxHighlighter, members are free to insert mathematical formulas and source code (PHP, HTML, etc) into the article.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
I’ve added a ticket to Trac to get a template function added for this: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4596
Patches welcome 
This is very common for example when you are registrating your blog in blog directories or your company in site directories. I think it would be a very good idea to have this option at Buddy Press.
We would like everyone to be able to become a member at our social community for free, but that the members who like to add a link to their website has to add our link to their site first.
How can this be done? Is there any WordPress plugin for this?
We also would like to have a Business Directory (for companies related to our subject) working the same way.
Hope someone can help!

Hello,
For two days I’ve been searching for a solution but can’t get it done. I really need for my network Name, Middle Name and Last name and now there are many ppl with the same Name and I can’t find a way to combine all the profile fields so I can display the full name site wide. I tried to write a code but programming 
= me. I’m sure a developer can write a snippet to put in in functions.php and I would really appreciate it if someone can help with this issue.
I’m using the latest version of Buddypress and WordPress.
Kind regards
How about this:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/restrict-usernames/
It looks like something that might possibly work for your problem, and would disallow the use of spaces in the username since I believe it’s all handled on the WordPress side of things for BuddyPress anyhow concerning registrations and so forth…
If you are using the BP-Default theme you just go into your WordPress Admin panel, go to Themes, choose “Editor” and you should then be able to find what you are looking for in BuddyPress Default under;
Main Index Template
(groups/index.php)
This file should be where you can rename those few things, among others, though you really should create a child theme (https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/) to add any such changes or customizations with in order to future-proof yourself so that when a new version of BuddyPress is released it doesn’t overwrite your own custom changes to the code.
Don’t forget to save the changes to the file before you proceed, and be extra careful as to what you are making any such changes to when doing so!
If you mess it up you can always pull a fresh file from another copy of BP-Default and upload it to the correct place on your server and just start over from scratch.
Good luck!
BuddyPress ships with fully customized bbPress 1.
Re BP 1.7: As Paul, a BP core dev, mentioned above it’s the customized bbPress 1 which will be phased out, the Group Forums will be kept but will be moved to the Sitewide forums (bbPress plugin). See bbPress Settings where at the bottom of the panel, there’s a section specifically for BuddyPress Group Forums https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/bp16-swforums-03.jpg?w=700
I’m having a similar issue. Everything worked fine until I upgraded WordPress and Buddypress day before yesterday to:
WordPress 3.4.2.
Buddypress 1.6.1
Now whenever someone posts text the whole page is displayed in the text box for a couple of seconds and then the page makes like it’s going to save, but hangs white. If you stop or refresh the page whilst it’s hanging this is displayed infront of the url http://wyciwyg://62/
I’m using the custom community theme, but have tried using the default them and it still does it. The only person that doesn’t have this problem is me when I’m logged in as admin. All other user levels have this problem though.
I did add bbpress forum after upgrading and have tried deactivating that, but that didn’t fix it. Posting in the forum works fine though.
Any ideas on how to fix this please?
Do you mean 1.6? As in BuddyPress 1.6 and BuddyPress 1.5.7? If so, then I’d check in 1.6 as things probably got fixed if a known bug. Alternatively if testing shows then same issue then please report via trac.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4155 seems to indicate it does work though.
Yes, i searched not only on wordpress.org but also on google.
I Didn’t find anything.
Many people are searching this function.
Thanks
Dimitri
To change slugs you change the page name and URL for that page in the WordPress admin. To change all instances of the word you create a language file
Languages and Translations
Thanks for the response ray. I will hook into the filter bp_get_activity_action.
Just one quick question, how do I detect whether the user is using HTTPS or normal HTTP connection? Are there some standard buddypress or wordpress codes to do so?
I heard that next version of Buddypress will have good integration with any wordpress theme. Is there an anticipated date for the release of this?
I am looking at building a site, and want a Responsive Buddypress Site on a Multisite Install, which is fairly novice-friendly, and the forums etc look good. At the moment I’m favouring Top Business from panda – http://topbusiness.pandathemes.com/ as it seems to be very flexible without having to delve too far into code etc.
But, if the new buddypress is coming out soon, I can wait, and choose from more standard wordpress themes.
Has anyone any thoughts or feedback on the Top Business theme?
Cheers
Mark
The ‘BuddyPress’ string is used when BP cannot find a site name from the database.
Did you name your site under the “Settings > General” screen in WordPress?
https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_General_Screen
Are you using multisite?
applying the changes found at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6332 still did not resolve the issue.
The error is being thrown from line 535 of the ‘/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php’ file
I installed buddypress via the plugin finder within wordpress so Im not sure if i got the same files that are from the latest trunk (assuming i didnt since i still have the error)
Current content of the bp-core-avatars.php file are at http://pastebin.com/X8EhUABf
Current content of the bp-xprofile-screens.php file are at http://pastebin.com/JQmj5akV
This file has been edited according to https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/4267/4267.diff
might be worth noting that all files included in 4267.diff were edited to reflect 4267.diff
This should be fixed in the latest trunk version of BuddyPress.
However, if you need to fix this for BP 1.6.1, apply this change to your 1.6.1 install:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6332
If that doesn’t work, let us know.
@bjwangschowe Yes, for BP, it is Admin and everything else. There’s of course the Group Admin/Mods which are limited to the Group Forums only.
I’ve heard of people building this for their own sites, but I’ve not seen any plugins that offer this. But I haven’t search through wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ to check — have you?
You can have 1 BuddyPress per WordPress network (a standard multisite gives you one network). You need to enable it sitewide, and set up the configuration from the root blog (the blog with ID = 1).
You do not need to enable multiblog. I wish that setting didn’t exist.
We have a site that has about 11 forums, 13,000 topics, 140,000 replies and 5,300 users. These are all inside WordPress running on bbPress 2.1.2 (the latest at this time) as a plugin. It all works great, however we want to move the posts to Buddypress and use the Groups/Forums within it. That way all of the users’ posts will show up in the activity just like the rest of their Buddypress stuff.
I know I can keep them separate and have even succeeded in doing so on a test site, however, I would like to make this a unified experience for my users if possible.
So, is this possible? Is there a service (paid perhaps) that does this? I know that if I sit down and roll my sleeves I can probably figure out the database structure and move those posts and metadata, but I would rather not.
Appreciate any help/thoughts!
@modemlooper thanks for the advice! will try it out.
Roger Coathup, could you point me in the direction of some resources? am i right to say this implementation is different from what modemlooper has suggested, in that you are customising wordpress posts instead of buddypress groups?
To update, I’ve set up a localhost using XMAPP on OS X. Still trying to sort out some issues with the Buddypress install – am getting a “Object not found” 404 error when clicking on links from the home page.
