I don’t know of anyone who has integrated punBB and BP. Here’s a plugin to share logins between the two systems: http://www.rkblog.rk.edu.pl/w/p/punbb-and-wordpress-integration-plugin/. The group-level management stuff would probably have to be custom coded.
I’m not aware of anyone who has integrated a different forum software into BP that will meet your list of criteria, though maybe someone else in this forum has.
You can’t run BP on a wordpress.com site.
You would need to install your own copy of WP on your own domain and then install and activate BP.
This is more a WordPress question rather than a BuddyPress one – https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL – remember to back up your database first
Basically the answer is no. You can’t have multiple blogs unless you either have WordPress MU or WordPress MS. WordPress Single will still run BuddyPress but it won’t have any blogs.

BuddyPress forums are group based by default, so you could set each group up to be an office and each office would get its own forum. It would all come together on the forums directory. From what you wrote it doesn’t sound like you’ll be needing all the social networking that ships with BP, so WP MS (setting offices up as blogs) and a standalone forum (without BP) might be better suited to your needs.
Hi @netweblogic. First requirement is that people can post events from the frontend, second is being able to set privacy levels for the events – public, for members only, etc, third is that at least one map can be attached to the event, etc. etc. etc.There are already a couple of feature-rich BuddyPress events plugins in the WP repo:
EventPress – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/eventpress/
Jet Event System – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jet-event-system-for-buddypress/
Good luck.
looks like the group is private – so buddypress will redirect back to the main page (if someone is not a member)
Hey thanks but still does not seem to work or I’m communicating my question. When I add a new page to our wordpress site I pasted a link into the html body. The menu for the site now has “forum” but it always redirect me to the wordpress generic forum link not the buddypress group forum.
Desired link:
`gwspacesociety.rog/groups/students/forum/#post-new`
The resulting link:
`http://gwspacesociety.org/wordpress/forum/`
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Well, I think I got the locations figured out … buttons are showing up on the General Settings section of the profile. Here’s what I did:
For Facebook
`add_action(‘bp_template_content’,’sfc_login_profile_page’,50); //Simple Facebook Connect account link function`
For Twitter
`add_action(‘bp_template_content’,’stc_login_profile_page’,51); //Simple Twitter Connect account link function`
I’d have to work with style a bit but, hey, they’re where they ought to be! That’s not the end of the story though. On the wordpress profile, you’ll see options to disconnect from the remote account (Facebook or Twitter) but these options don’t show up on the bp profile.
Seems like running both the Twitter and Facebook connect simultaneously gets a bit buggy. If linked to twitter for example, the facebook link button won’t click through.
Also, after linking accounts you have to sign out of buddypress multiple times (if you initially signed in with your buddypress login, then again with eg. your facebook account).
All this is making me think twice about putting SFC and STC to use in my system even though it looks like a sweet and full featured integration. I’m sure some one with a little more skill could make it work. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks for the link Rolly. Any thoughts on modifying the WordPress login page. Can one create a login page vs. using the stock page?
Thanks,
James
@Dwenaus Yeah, I’m in it for the social networking. I think I actually tried job-manager yesterday, but it didn’t seem to play nice with Buddypress. I’m guessing some plugins for WordPress will work with BuddyPress, but not all…or?
I just tried Jobboardr. The CV part seems great, but I can’t figure out how to create job posts (is it disabled or am I going blind? 
). Also, I tried to create a group (thinking jobs might be dependent on groups), but a got an error message saying “Please fill in all required fields.” when pressing “Next Step” on the privacy settings page (public/private/hidden group).
@babelsheep yes this is possible and a good idea for a plugin. However If all you need is a job board and you don’t need social networking then I believe there are wordpress plugins that do this well.https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/job-manager/ is one choice but there are others.
I had the same error and still wanted to use the theme – after I renamed it and got rid of the error message, I tried disabling the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin I’d installed to try to get a normal WordPress theme to work. Then I went back and applied the same buddypress theme again, this time with no problems.
Additionally, if you want members to be post in frontend of blog where BP is installed, you can use either
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/one-quick-post/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jet-quickpress/
Additionally, you can enable multisite on your WordPress site and then allow all of your users to create their own blogs.
Yes you would grant users ‘Contributo’r or ‘Author’ privileges to write on the main blog, what I do is add links for certain user capabilities to the adminbar so there is an easy route to the create new post & pages screens.
BuddyPress is a WordPress plugin so you install BuddyPress the same as other WP plugins. You might also like to check out:

Installation
I reinstall BP, it seems all right.
Thannks.
Just have: No can’t create a blog from the initial registration page, but yes can create a blog once signed in which is pretty telling really. You do not have a clean install at work here it is a modified one, remove any and ALL mods made, any plugins that might be messing things up, add the admin bar back in while testing, in fact do not hide the admin bar as it’s still creating mal-formed markup using the admin option to hide it which I thought had been fixed after I raised the issue/ticket; what version of BP are you running?
Please remove my sign up.
I’m using this plugin : https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-secure-invites/
I have restricted registration only by invitation , yet I got one registration ….
have to done all the spam blocking techniques mentioned here to my installation … but did some definitely
