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) 
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bp-better-directories-ready-or-not
Please I’m desperate, I have a week with this.
After my upgrade to version 1.6.1 buddypress pages are gone, I can only see activity, I can not see the members page, I can see the user page, I can see groups, there is the registration page.
The following components have been associated BuddyPress to WordPress pages: No pages
Please I need urgent help
Wordpress 3.4.1
BuddyPress 1.6.1
My wordpress in: mysite.mydomain.com
My buddypress in: mysite.mydomain.com / community
@megainfo
The current version of SeoPress conflicts with group forums, you can’t edit or delete topics and shows wrong count for each forum topics list, So its unusable in my case.
@chouf1
Totally agree with regular posting and all that stuff. The problem is on a regular wordpress blog, you need to adjust seo settings otherwise you will be producing duplicated content and getting penalties from google on your rank.
Depending on the theme you use meta titles and meta description change, You may want to control that too to adjust it to your site specifics.
@fiq
As far as I know target keywords is the primary criteria search engines use to map sites and build their listings to output in search queries, why shouldn’t one exploit that to be found by the keywords he wants to and not by some random keywords that he never knows what they are?
Totaly agree with G+ circles and add Facebook, Twitter, and the rest of social networks.
When you have a site you must have a strategy for capture visitors, You have plenty that influence how your site is build. Search engines, social networks, advrtisement, you name it.
Returning to my inicial question, What’s the best way to handle SEO optimization with BP?
Hi I’d like to know where and how I can change where users get sent when they logout from the wordpress toolbar and when they click on there my account avatar also on the toolbar.
Hi I was able to edit my wordpress bar a little bit and add some custom links to it through the custom menu and the Admin Bar Improved plugin; but I want to hide those custom links from non-logged in users and don’t know where to begin. Any help?
If you changed you server, you probably changed your wp-config file.
If you publish in groups you have activated group forums. Even if you don’t use bbPress as plugin, BP use his built-in bbPress and create a bbconfig.php file.
You have to look if this file exist and search for your old server settings to transform them to your new server reference.
To answer 3) “If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? = unsure”
Wordpress should be at the root of your site (recommended install)
Something like server_path/htdocs/<— this is the root folder (this folder belongs your host)
And here all wp folders ad files (but not in a folder called wordpress)
If you use htdocs/wordpress/wp folders and files, it’s a subdirectory
https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress
1. WordPress 3.4.1
2. WordPress installed as a Directory
3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? = unsure
4. New wordpress install
5. Was WordPress functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting. = yes
6. BP 1.6.1
7. Upgrade from v1.6
8. Same issue with no plugins activated
9. Tersus theme
10. No
11. No custom functions in bp-custom.php?
12. no bbPress
13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files. = unsure
14. Which company provides your hosting? = unsure
15. Server running Windows
Hi
I have buddypress 1.6.1 and latest Tersus theme installed. I moved my site to a new server and now I can not make a forum topic? Everything else works
I tried reinstalling buddypress, deleting pages and groups and remaking them, tried turning off all other plugins and no luck!
I have not launched the site so I have seedpro plugin on home page so to access the site you need to go to http://www.foodzone.com.au/
I am unsure why I can not make a new topic?
Thanks Duncan
There is Comercial version of SeoPresss.
Im working in modified version of free SeoPresss and i add the rest of tags,
my version steel in developement and it is not stable.I will share it in wordpress plugins.
i want just to tell you too, the last version SeoPresss work in buddypress 1.6 but there is some bug in wp-admin, it make http 500 error with some other plugins.
Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone knows a way of limiting the number of characters for a username during registration. I’m not using a wordpress multisite so the WPMU doesn’t work for me. Right now a username can enter a name as long or short as they want. This causes various issues, including long username messing up forum layout.
I simple want to set the minimum length to 5 and the maximum length to 10, does anyone know any way of doing so? I’m not afraid to mess with code.
I attempted to use the ‘max length’ code in the input box but that didn’t work.
Any help would be appreciated.
On my Blogs I use to have installed WordPress SEO by yoast plugin.
With Buddypress isn’t efective, it only handles Posts, pages, and few parameters from the forums if these are sitewide from bbpress.
SeoPresss from ThemeKraft is outdated for BP 1.6.1
Any alternative?
Within BP pages any roadmap of what to leave to index and what to block?
For example: Activity pages should produce duplicated content, or is this already prevented ?
i speaked about php memory, witch you can know if you use a phpinfo() scrpt.
Server capacity and bandwith has nothing to do with php memory.
More plugins you use, more memory you need.
For example, if you are on a shared host with only 8 or 32 MO of php memory limit, BP could’nt work and WP will work only with a few (3-4) plugins installed. And BP is a BIG plugin.
Latest WP/BP need 128 MO to work correclty togoether (64 MO is the minimum)
