In fiddling around with buddypress for some time now through reading bits of documentation and purveying various themes and plugins, I’m beginning to see that although buddypress supports unique page design, its user-interface definitely biases towards a uniform theme that pervades the whole site. I see that individual page layouts/content can be edited better through some plugins and template design, but in order to do so, it requires not only that you know a little bit of coding yourself but ALSO that you’re working within the wordpress CMS framework.
For someone who wants a lot of control on his site, this begins to seem a daunting task to really get things the way I want. In fact, it almost seems I would be better hard-coding my own html layouts and cms styles from scratch and then inserting the necessary php-work without using any CMS. At least what I would be learning would be the actual logic/coding of the sites mechanics, and not such PLUS the wordpress/buddypress mechanics.
But what do you think– does it sound as if I should bite the bullet and learn buddypress, or bite the other bullet and learn much more hard-coding to design without a CMS (although that would obviously take much much longer)?
I’m looking for some insight into how to create a custom tab on the (/members/) Members Directory page that filters by WordPress role. I’m using BP 1.6.1.
By default the member directory has two tabs one for All Members and one for Friends. I’d like to keep those as is and add a third tab that only shows members with the WordPress “editor” role.
Any insights on how to accomplish this?

Hi guys, I hope this is the right forum. We are running WP and BP in a portal for students of a Master in interaction design: maind.supsi.ch.
Since we designed our own members page at http://www.maind.supsi.ch/people-teachers-guest-lecturers-students/, we would like to redirect BP member pages to the new URLs without deleting the profiles. I’ve tried a few htaccess tricks with no result. Can someone help me?
Thanks! 
Cheers from Lugano.
Hi everyone,
I’m running WordPress version 3.4 (haven’t upgraded to 3.4.2, yet.)
WordPress is installed in the root of my domain
BuddyPress version 1.6.1
bbPress version 2.1.2
My theme is a child of BP-Default
First, I should start by letting you know that I’m definitely a newbie! What I’m trying to do should be relatively simple, I think. I’ve searched and searched, but haven’t been able to find an answer to my question.
I have a WordPress/BuddyPress site that is mostly private. I’m using Role Scoper to limit access to certain portions of the site, and that’s working out okay. I’m also using BuddyPress Registration Options to “hide” the BuddyPress pages from non-registered users. Unfortunately, I’m unable to hide the link to “Forums” (which links to my bbPress installation) from non-logged users in my navigation. The actual forum topics are restricted, so clicking on forums when not logged in takes you a page that says, “Oh bother! No forums were found here!”, which is fine for an instance where someone actually types the URL. However, I’d like “Forums” to be hidden from the navigation until the user is logged in. My only requirement for accessing the forums is level of Subscriber. Subscriber should be able to fully use the forums, I just don’t want users who aren’t logged in to be able to see the “Forum” link in my navigation.
Can this be done in bp-custom.php?
I apologize if my question isn’t clear. If it is not, please let me know so that I can rephrase it. Remember that I’m a complete newbie! 
Thank you so much! Any and all help is very much appreciated!
I am customising the buddypress member profile page. I need the user to be able to edit his first name and last name, yet these fields aren’t in the edit.php profile page. How do I get the field and make in in an input and save to the database? Hope that makes sense, I just want the user to be able to edit his first and last name.
Here is the help I recieved on a thread of another’s similar post:
“@mercime said 2 weeks, 5 days ago:
@mariareh64 to make your WP theme compatible with BP, you need to install the BP template pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP compatibility process. If you need assistance to fix alignment for Step 3 of the process, start a new topic with name of your theme as well as codes (post in pastebin.com) of your theme’s header.php, sidebar.php, index.php, page.php and footer.php and post the generated URL’s in your new post.”
page.php = http://pastebin.com/J01iPWdK
sidebar.php = http://pastebin.com/qKHpjCKH
index.php = http://pastebin.com/yfueU9FG
footer.php = http://pastebin.com/4jXx5nEa
header.php = http://pastebin.com/9EgdGe6k
If you need anything else, please let me know. Thank you so much for your time and help!
Hello, I recently started working with web design and building. I know very little about html and css but enough to know where to go if I woud like to change it. I am currently trying to implement buddypress into my website. When I do, nothing is aligned appropriately. Any help woud be extremely appreciated!
Hello,
I recently upgraded both WordPress and BuddyPress from their last versions to their most recent. After doing so, I discovered that my group forums no longer worked. I went ahead and deactivated all my plugins and then uninstalled and re-installed the group forums, hoping this would fix the problem, but I found no change.
Here’s the error message I receive when I try to link on the “Forum” tab in a group:
Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ” (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php’) in /home/content/10/8796010/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress-sa.php on line 42
I don’t yet know php, but it sounds like it’s saying something’s missing from a php file. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance! 
Hello, I’m excited to be using Buddypress and now have it installed on my wordpress site. I have one major issue, Buddypress is not displaying on my site correctly…it’s like the CSS is not being found. What should i do to fix it?
Thanks!
