Hey
I have a problem. When you clik on a users name on my site, it goes to sitename.com/USERNAME when it should go to sitename.com/members/USERNAME/profile
How can I fix it?
I use the newest version of Buddypress and WordPress.
Thank you
This is what I was looking for. It could lose the css, but other than it seem to work great.

I would like help with setting up a multisite with an existing buddypress installation. I am creating a gaming Guild network. Currently I have http://vanhelsingcorporation.com/ as my site. The guild originated for one game, however I am hoping to expand it across many games and all consoles. The idea would be to have what I currently have as vindictus.vanhelsingcorporation.com to dedicate that specifically to that game. For example, if i had a group that wanted to join that plays Halo on xbox, it would be halo.vanhelsingcorporation.com. Each “game” would be set up nearly identically as how i have it now. So, i would be able to view all subsites under one install, and manage all members for their “game” or site. Obviously I would have some pages that wouldn’t have buddypress functionality such as a greeting page. For example global.vanhelsingcorporation.com, xbox.vanhelsingcorporation.com, pc.vanhelsingcorporation.com, and ps3.vanhelsingcorporation.com. Please let me know if there is any way of doing this, and what would be the best way of managing this. I love that wordpress is open source, but it is not the friendliest way of doing things. I think if i want something done professionally, I’m better off hiring someone that does this for a living, but then again, I’m only a kid in high school looking to get my feet wet in web design and programming with Java. Thanks in advance. -Josh
@peppermintmochapatty if you are using this theme, https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/first-lego-league-official , you cannot use the second method (creating xxx-buddypress.php) for Step 3 of the BP Compatibility process. Because of the HTML structure of your theme, you’d need to revise 16 template files from the 6 BP folders transferred to your theme’s folder in server.
If you still want to proceed with the instruction, let me know.
Using the default fancy WordPress WYSIWYG there seems to be no image button. Any idea on how I can add one?
Hi,
try this in bp-custom.php
remove_filter( 'wpmu_signup_blog_notification', 'bp_core_activation_signup_blog_notification', 1, 7 );
source infos buddypress /bp-core/bp-core-filters.php
The concerned filter do this
/***
* bp_core_filter_blog_welcome_email()
*
* Replace the generated password in the welcome email.
* This will not filter when the site admin registers a user.
*
* @uses locate_template To see if custom registration files exist
* @param string $welcome_email Complete email passed through WordPress
* @param integer $blog_id ID of the blog user is joining
* @param integer $user_id ID of the user joining
* @param string $password Password of user
* @return string Filtered $welcome_email with $password replaced by [User Set]

Hi,
did you read the warning at the top of the official plugin page ?
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-usernames-only/
The problem is perhaps the plugin ?
Cool, thanks – admittedly, I’m a little intimidated modifying the theme code, or adding new plugins. But, I have been itching to get my hands dirty under the hood and learn how to do wordpress specifici coding, so this will be a good chance and resource to dive in. I might have to poke you later once I get this rolling. Thanks for your input Aces.
Wow I made things a lot harder than they should’ve been lol. All I had to do was replace ”!is_super_admin()” with ”!is_user_logged_in()”. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
i’m not a programmer at all, but better try this:
`function add_sumtips_admin_bar_link() {
global $wp_admin_bar;
if ( !is_super_admin() || !is_admin_bar_showing() || is_user_logged_in() )
$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
‘id’ => ‘sumtips_link’,
‘title’ => __( ‘SumTips Menu’),
‘href’ => __(‘http://sumtips.com’),
) );
endif
}
add_action(‘admin_bar_menu’, ‘add_sumtips_admin_bar_link’,25);”`
Ok sorry but I’m not the best programmer. Using their menu as an example, do you mean something like this:
”function add_sumtips_admin_bar_link() {
global $wp_admin_bar;
if ( !is_super_admin() || !is_admin_bar_showing() )
return;
if ( is_user_logged_in() )
$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
‘id’ => ‘sumtips_link’,
‘title’ => __( ‘SumTips Menu’),
‘href’ => __(‘http://sumtips.com’),
) );
else
false;
endif
}
add_action(‘admin_bar_menu’, ‘add_sumtips_admin_bar_link’,25);”
Thanks I got the redirect logout to work by using the function from here: http://projectivemotion.com/2011/07/27/wordpress-always-redirect-to-homepage-after-logout/
Still looking to change the link on the toolbar’s My Account from “Edit Profile” to “Activity”
You can use a template conditionnal tag.
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) :
your custom menu stuff
else
something for non logged user
endif
Hello,
what is your mother language ?
If you use define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘buddypress.seyte.com’); it means that “buddypres”s is a subdomain of seyte.com !
This suppose also that wordpress is installed at the root of seyte.com.
But you declare define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);
Pass this to true instead of false and see what you get.
Subdomain install needs also the usage of a wildcard declaration on your host settings.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Before_You_Create_A_Network
If this is too complicated for you, i suggest that you deactivate all your plugins and custom theme.
Erase the wp-config file and restart your WP install. Be sure that wp is at the root of seyte.com
After this install, go to wp-admin and activate the network install.
When done, activate the buddypress plugin.
Make the setting of BP specially “blogs” creation.
Activate bp-default theme and test your install.
If everithing is working, create a new blog and test again.
Now if you want you can change the themes of the main site and/or the newly created blog.
And finally reactivate your other plugins (if you use some)
Thanks but I already understand how to add items to the menu, I’ve already done that. What code do I need to add to hide those menu items from non-logged in users?
Hi karmatosed
I am looking for a deeper integration with BuddyPress. For example, a lot of the ecommerce plugins available let your customers buy something. They even let them create a ‘shopper’ account. BUT – this ‘shopper’ account isn’t a wordpress or buddypress account.
I have my eye on WooCommerce at the moment. Perhaps there are some more good ones available?
When you say ‘BuddyPress’ the logins that people use are WordPress so if that’s all you want them to be able to do you are fairly open to solutions that work on WordPress. However, are you looking for more deeper integration with BuddyPress and your shop?
Thanks @FIQ
NextGen was only installed last week because we wanted to publish a photo gallery. The install and activation of NextGen really had little to no impact on the site — it was already trudging along prior to NextGen.
But I’ll see if I can have it load only on the photo galley page.
Images are optimized using “WP Smush.it”
Not sure what the “slider” is.
As for the widgets, we eliminated a number of them during initial setup. We need the 3-4 widgets we are currently using.
As for the theme, we developed it our self. We have on staff, a pro designer/theme-developer that develops themes for all our WordPress sites. The theme for our BP site is identical to the theme for our complementary public facing site. The public facing site runs a WP blog and it is lightning fast (on the same sever as well)
That’s a ton of scripts. My bet just by looking at it is the Nexgen is slowing things. Check these out….
Only loads Nextgen on pages where it is used:

Optimizes images:

I would limit the number of images in your slider and other basic steps. You should also limit the number of widgets you use. It’s hard to tell just by looking at what you posted. Not sure what type of theme you are using, but unless you built it yourself or are using the default theme I would bet it extremely bloated like almost all premium themes sold today.
Well I looked through both of those, couldn’t quite figure it out, I believe I am on the right track though with this website I found : http://www.peterrknight.com/get-wordpress-user-role-by-id/
Only problem is I am not getting errors, but when I try to set it as my role I also get no result, but I am going to keep hacking at it.
@travel-junkie It’s a myth yeah, but it’s not a myth that at each page load, the page is recontructed with all the plugins, filters, filters of filters, and all the rest. The amount count or better said the server settings of many details such as php memory, max_exec etc
You’re right, good coding practice is the primar condition, but who knows that when installing a plugin ? A quality plugin coded under the 4.x area isn’t really quality satisfying today. Awfull plugins writen with the feet, but doing the job (even if penibly) are(where) legion.
Most of the plugin’s user are not php guru’s to see what changed, what is good or not in the code.
Even pro developper’s are not all qualified to be quality dev’s. Go, go, go, allways faster und hektische arbeit zum schluss. You’ll probably know that. 
And what is “quality” in the wpsphere ? 5 minutes install, download a theme, a plugin by one click and bum, done ? In the best case, user will shout “it work’s !” 
It’s not quality, it’s just an easy craftwork.
Aber sonst alles klar. Tchuss 
EDIT: a funny conclusion to this just posted here few minutes ago in this tread:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/bp-better-directories-abandoned/
that mentionned this (very explicit in my mind)
