@obsidianmarketing 2 WP instances or 1 Multisite installation == it all depends on what kind of website you are running.
Example 1: I have 2 WP instances for an organization where the main site, http://www.example.com deals mostly with organization blog/news plus around 700 pages of general information. The subsite community.example.com is the private BP site on a second database.
Example 2: For another installation, it’s multisite and the information generated in the main site is from the user blogs.
== Since I already have WP installed on my sub-domain do I need to uninstall it on the sub-domain first? If so does that just mean that I will delete the folder that was created with the name of the sub-domain in the public_html folder? ==
Before you make any major changes to your installation, backup DB and server folders. If you believe that your organization will be better served with a multisite installation, then deactivate BuddyPress and create a network (make multisite) on example.com. Then you might want to import DB of subsite into DB of main site if you already have added a lot of information. In certain cases, you only need to import the XML export from your WP install in subsite.example.com

Hi there,
I’m fairly new to BuddyPress so I’m still trying to figure some things out.
I’m trying to write meta tags to the of the page (OpenGraph and Twitter Cards); however, I can’t seem to find a way to grab the content of an activity entry (body and title). I can do this easily on WordPress so I was expecting to be able to do so with BuddyPress.
Any ideas?
Hi!
I just downloaded BuddyPress for my WordPress site. However, when I try running the Installation Wizard, or going to BuddyPress Setup, I arrive at a page I can do almost nothing with. I see the tabs at the top, with Components highlighted, and a bunch of checkboxes that I can freely check and uncheck. But there’s no way to move between tabs, no “continue” button or anything, and therefore no way to complete the setup. Any advice?
I’m running this on the updated WP version, and the Themia Lite theme.
Thanks!
Sean
Are you using an apache server ?
Do you have a htaccess file ?
Here are a couple of links that include info re htaccess:

Hi everyone!
I’ve been looking for an easy way to get an overview of all of my users and to sort them depending on different categories, i.e. last active, time of registration, number of posts and similar parameters. Today I discovered the excellent plugin “amr users” which lets me do all that and is jam-packed with settings and features. If you’re looking for a similar plugin, do check it out here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/amr-users/
There is also an add-on for BuddyPress which reportedly will add the ability to sort users based on profile fields, which in my case would be extremely useful in sorting different types of users. Haven’t tried it yet since it’s $15, but will do that shortly. Check that out here:
http://wpusersplugin.com/related-plugins/amr-user-plugin-add-ons/amr-users-plus-buddypress/
Have anyone else tried this plugin or do you have another way of viewing and sorting all users?

Most social networks allow upload of profile photos in the process of registration or activation. Would be cool if BuddyPress enables this too.

@boonebgorges @djpaul In that case, any other ideas or plans for hierarchical groups, the way there are hierarchical pages in WordPress?
Nothing’s changed. BP bbPress and all other WP plugins have always been hosted at the WordPress.org plugin repository. BP.org with special script “gets” the plugins tagged with BuddyPress for https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/
I get an error There was a problem posting your update, please try again., i am using latest BP and wordpress installed on IIS7.5 – Permalinks have been adjusted in web.config. – no plugins except BP is enabled. Fixed by adding bp-activity-classes from http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-activity/bp-activity-classes.php
@schwarzaufweiss plugins which are supposed to be compatible with BuddyPress are tagged as such in the WP Plugin Repository https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=buddypress
edit- djpaul, didn’t see your post. i took too long to post answer

I am not certain this is what you desire but check out my blog. I have code snippets that may help you. Read the post and you will understand the end result from the snippet. Have a great day and hope it helps!

I think this is a bug that was found when integrating bbPress 2.1 with Buddypress. If that’s the same problem, they are working on a fix for bbPress 2.2 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1906
I was hoping to use the BP Multi Network plugin to allow BP on all sites within a Multisite install. I created a help post on the plugin page here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bp-multi-network-all-bp-links-point-to-root-site?replies=2 and was directed to ask here.
I read the plugin instructions as best I could but didn’t get the functionality I wanted. When I go to a new subdomain and click on the BP links from the nav bar, they all point to the root domain.
I tried first to find the folders listed in the instructions, but the instructions didn’t seem up-to-date…probably refers to WPMU I am guessing. After installing, I looked for the database items to rename but couldn’t find it. So, I figured that information might be dated also.
Next I deactivated BuddyPress on the network, installed bp multi network and activated BP on the test subdomain, but all links pointed to the root domain in BP. Then I tried to network activate and still all BP links point to the root domain. Any help would be great, I am trying to mesh BP and MultiSite for indiviudal classes withing an edu type site, so people using BP need to get from subdomain (i.e. a class or teacher) to subdomain. Thanks,

Yeah I’m quickly learning that the buddypress and bbpress trunk is nowhere near as stable as the WordPress trunk. I’ve always run the WordPress svn trunk updated nightly for years now and have never had a problem.
@artxx on the link to profile page, you add the code yourself https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/adding-dynamic-link-to-main-menu-item/
Or use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/ if you’re using bp-default or child theme of the BP Default theme.
As for incorporating jQuery Edit in Place plugin with members’ profile pages, that’s beyond the scope of the forums. You’d either have to code it yourself and/or post it in jQuery forums or stackexchange.com where a volunteer may be available to assist you or hire a developer to do so.
hi
i realy need your help.
I have a wordpress site and buddypress installed (latest version) and a couple of weeks ago the site started working strange (after an update).
The problem is that when user has a space in his user name private messages are not working.
Can anyone help me? is this wp problem or buddypress problem.
I am using bp 1.7bleeding with WordPress 3.5alpha.
Yes, I can upload themes, update plugins etc. Everything else works perfectly. This is the first problem I have come across with this install.
>> Can we assign specific widgets to specific pages?
@awclubbock Yes. You can use the widget logic plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic/ where you use WP’s or BP’s conditional tags to control where that widget shows up.
>> How do we create the Lost Password URI for the BBpress login widget in the footer?
https://bbpress.org/forums/
>> How do we list all forums on the forums page?
Go edit the Forums page in dashboard and add the bbp-forum-index shortcode https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
>> How do we enable the registration on the register page? [The register page is blank right now.] (Can we limit who can register with a code?
– Make sure you’re logged out before trying to register
– Did you activate BP template pack and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process? Or go to Settings > BuddyPress > Pages panel and check if a page has been assigned to Registration
I’m not sure which file to edit to have my member’s forum pages line up properly.
I have tried forums->index.php but this isn’t changing anything, using `
Are you using the latest version of BuddyPress with the default theme? If not, then what is your set up theme wise and what version of BuddyPress?
Also, just as a check can you upload themes to your media area in WordPress?
Curious, can you log in at WordPress.org and bbPress.org with the username and password used to log in BuddyPress.org?
@hamzahali You need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your bold theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your bold 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 class="post clearfix" id="post-main-“>
<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) { yoast_breadcrumb('
‘,’
‘); } ?>
`
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
…
` or `
..
` to `
// Titles Of Respective BP Page Templates //
`
Save files.
Hi, I have placed a button in the menu for users to logout, but it directs them to the WordPress login page, I would like the button to redirect them to homepage instead. I have currently set the button´s css class to “function-is-user-logged-in” so only logged in users can see it. I would like to know if I can achieve the redirect with a css class too.
I have also installed the “BpDev Logout Redirect to Mainsite for Mu/BP” plugin, but that is having no effect over the logout button (it does work with the Buddybar´s logout button though…).
I would appreciate any tips. Please, as usual, bear in mind that i have very limited coding skills. Thanks in advance for all the kind help and replies.
Best,
Erik.
