For anyone looking for the working code to create the shortcode [member_count] which can be inserted anywhere in pages or posts, here it is:
`function show_number_of_members() {
$count = bp_get_total_site_member_count();
return $count;
}
function register_shortcodes() {
add_shortcode(‘member_count’, ‘show_number_of_members’);
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘register_shortcodes’);`
Insert the above code in your functions.php or custom functions.php-file in your WordPress theme.
@a-swede-in-greece there are two BuddyPress Media plugins which have own forums
– BP Media plugin -> https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/
– BP Media Component plugin -> https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-media/ and click on support tab
== blog- as well as(or) a business directory plugin which we can ad ==
I assume you mean external blogs. Try https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-links/screenshots/ or adapt it to fit to your needs.
Paul-Thank you for the reply.

Hi Friends,
Please provide me a link from where I can download buddypress 1.5.1 as I am using WordPress 3.2.1.
Regards,
Sudeep Acharya
Sorry if this is answered elsewhere, but I have been searching for two days now (hours) and have been unable to locate an answer.
After a clean install of wordpress, then following the directions here on install of buddypress and it’s moving to a different directory (community.domain.com), I have issues when people register their sites.
When a user attempts to register a site on community.domain.com, the form reflects http://[______].domain.com as it should, although the email received for verification shows subdomain.community.domain.com.
How can I resolve this to reflect the proper domain creation structure of just subdomain.domain.com? The community pages were moved to a separate section to keep a users landing page simple; the main domain.com page is for marketing of the domain.
Your Q&A:
1. Which version of WordPress are you running?
3.4.2
2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install?
Main
3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?
root
4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version?
No
5. Was WordPress functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting.
Yes
6. Which version of BP are you running?
1.6
7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?
8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones?
Yes, disabled, still same results
9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes?
BP-default and Frisco tested
10. Have you modified the core files in any way?
bp-custom.php
11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php? commented out the multiblog on purpose
`<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
// copied from wp-config
define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘domain.com’);
// set root blog
define (‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 6);
// username compatability mode
define(‘BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE’, true);
// ignore depreciated code
define (‘BP_IGNORE_DEPRECATED’, true);
// put profiles in root
define (‘BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES’, true);
// multiblog
# define (‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true);
// force wordpress admin bar
define(‘BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR’, true);
?>`
12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in?
2.1.2 – installed after the fact
13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files.
none
14. Which company provides your hosting?
private server
15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else?
Linux
WP touch doesnt have the theme files to work with BuddyPress.
Options are to use a responsive theme, create your own custom solution or use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-mobile
WP Touch might work with BP 1.7 as BP 1.7 will use page templates to output markup. 1.7 is probably at least a few months away.
Hey Guys,
Using the latest versions of both wordpress and buddypress. Do we know anything about:
Moving topics from one group to another?
Any help will be deeply appreciated!
Thanks
Hi,
Thank you both ! Mashant is indeed created with WordPress & Buddypress. When we decided to create a social network for developers, we immediately opted for BuddyPress.
This plugin has saved us a lot of time. Moreover it is very flexible, we do not regret our choice

erm does this need adding via a css style sheet or can it be done via wordpress menu page
does @johnjamesjacoby @modemlooper @r-a-y @boonebgorges @djpaul anyone know of a way or plugin which will force wordpress and buddypress to upload and serve media (images) from a separate file server? i need to separate out the media files as i am running more than one web server for same site …..i’ve read about how edu blogs uses a separate file server for images etc but i can’t find any info online thanks

You have to create forums first. See picture above, Forums > Add New then create name of the forum and publish the post. Add new forums as needed.
I am using latest version of buddypress and wordpress. I have installed event, media, and forums plugins for my users, but I now have TEN tabs at the tob of my profile page. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, here’s the link to my profile page- My profile (not sure if it shows up as link). Anyway, once you’ve seen all those tabs, you can see what a mess they make. Is there a way I could remove one or two tabs from the top of the PROFILE page, but keep their settings so users can access them somewhere else on the site?
Since I am using WordPress 3.5beta1(nightly) and buddyPress 1.7 I am starting to see a lot of plugins where either the admin menu refuses to show up, or I get the old ‘you do not have sufficient permission to view this page…..’
I don’t know why this is happening, and I’m hoping someone can explain it so that I can begin to fix some of the plugins where this happens.
Here is a link to the most basic plugin I can find with this problem: “bp-display-name”
http://scenicjobs.com/wordpress-plugins
Basically, you can see the admin menu link but when you choose a selection in the dropdown and click save, you get that stupid permission error.
I only chose this plugin as an example as it’s a very short plugin to read and the most simple, yet maybe it will explain the problem and what changed in WP 3.5 and bp 1.7
btw
whoever came up with that stupid error text…..argghhhhh
I’m in trouble I have I encountered some problems during installation in the control panel for the forum
what i do there on my install
All done! Configuration settings have been saved to the file bb-config.php in the root of your WordPress install.
Need help deciding between Group Forums and Site Wide Forums? Visit the BuddyPress codex for more information.

Thanks, i am looking for this
WoW Way theme!
@garrickbs there template-packed themes already at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes
== If you’re still stuck no doubt mercime will revise your files for you in due course so have another shot at it and update this thread with the results. ==
@hnla looking forward to BP 1.7 
This one can drive a person absolutely mad trying to figure out. Depending on what your setup is (Multisite-enabled?), you can try this method;
1. Create a noreply@yourdomain.com (or whatever you want to call it – you can even use a Gmail address for this, though I’ve not tried that approach myself) email address, if you don’t already have one, with SMTP relays, especially if your ISP has restrictions in place for sending email.
2. Add and activate the WP-Mail-SMTP plugin; https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
3. Configure the plugin settings to fit your needs, or as per the plugin instructions suggest, by going to “Settings” -> “Email” in your WordPress admin area.
At least that’s what I recall from my past experience with BuddyPress enabled and having this issue, and it worked like a charm!
Thanks
1. AMU is a plug-in called Add Multiple Users which https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-multiple-users/ It enables a CSV import of users. [Sorry for not being clearer in the OP].
2. Users added manually – ie using the WordPress new user screen – and users Registering using the front end – work fine in BuddyPress – [both those entered before and after doing the CSV import with AMU) ie the user has a profile page and can edit it.
3. All the users imported using AMU have all fields complete including first, last, nick and display names. The only empty fields are www, jabber and AIM.
4. Users from both the CSV import and the manual user added from the Users_Add_New_Screen screen are added to a BP groups using @boonebgorges‘ Buddy Press Group Management plug in. All appear in the group member list (and all members lists) but the ones bulk entered using CSV file do not have profiles.
I’m going to try doing another import and see if I get the same result.
I’ve read the details at codex.buddypress.org and tried the “tests” for correct WordPress install.
They all seem to work.
I also read: `”WordPress should be installed manually i.e. via FTP, cpanel, etc. and NOT via webhost scripts (fantastico, softalicious, etc.)which bring about numerous issues when BuddyPress is activated.”`
Apparently I’m off into “various issues” land. Are these issues listed anywhere? Since my WP seems to pass the listed tests? What else could be going on?

BuddyPress is not sending any activity notifications emails…. when someone registers, etc.
The outgoing tests from WordPress work fine. Help?
I’d like to make a local install of WP + BP so that I have a “sandbox.”
How would I clone or replicate my local install to my hosted server?
I know that I can SCP or FTP the files from the web site folders, but then how do I deal with the required database files and supporting parts?
Learning,
