It is my understanding that blog comments should be showing by default but they are not appearing. Every other activity is appearing. Of course, blog comments are the only thing that come from the original WP install so something isn’t linking up. I’d link to it but it’s on a localhost install.
FWIW, I have made very few customizations to BP so far. It’s mostly all default right now. All components are enabled and all general settings are set to No (meaning I have not disabled anything).
I only added a few profile fields and added a function to change the default avatar.
I am testing this on two different registered users, one admin, one subscriber.
They do, but only for registered users.
If you have unregistered users posting comments, try BP Include Non-member Comments
BP Include Non-Member Comments
i wrote an experimental plugin that will replace (or tack on) activity comments to a blog post – (only tested it on the main blog)
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-as-blog-comments/
(example: http://etivite.com/2010/04/what-does-it-mean/ )
BuddyPress shows blog comments in default! Please check your settings in backend!
Hi,
Thanks for your replies.
Paul: I tried your welcome pack. After changing the text to Dutch iI still receive the notifications in English. I installed wordpress 3.0 with multisite and Buddypress 1.2.5.2
I’m guessing that if you can login with your facebook account, you can also login with openID.
Perhaps you can rewrite the plugin?
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-fbconnect/
Note: This plugin probably doesnt work with the latest and greatest WordPress 3.x and Buddypress 1.2.5.x
Im using BM Custom Login: Display custom images on the wordpress login screen. Useful for branding.
Works nicely but if you going to use s2members, it has its own custom login screen aswell.
I’ve been using: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/dbd-login-style/
I haven’t been able to figure out the logo image and so I just overwrote this image: /wp-admin/images/logo-login.gif
I imagine with a different CSS you might be able to easily change it. If you figure that out, I’d love to hear since I hate core changes but was too lazy in this case.
Paul,
Oh! Much of that looks like features that are currently now built in to WordPress MU. To be honest, I just realized today that I never updated my BuddyPress blog to the newest version. I checked out some of the new features, and it looks like many of them work exactly like Multisite does. So I guess there is a way… just 1.5 months ago, there wasn’t exactly as simple of a way as there is now.
My apologies for bothering you with this newbie nonsense! But thank you very much for your response. (:
Regards,
Weasel
Have a look through https://buddypress.org/community/groups/localization/forum/topic/organizing-translations/
If you only want to change contents of the notification emails, you could see if Welcome Pack does what you want.
Hi there
Sorry we missed your original post. As much as I understand your question, the answer’s yes. Activate multisite on WordPress and away you go!
Thanks everyone for testing it! If you’re having strange issues with your theme, then it’s probably something to do with your theme. I have made sure that it works with the default theme, but beyond that you may need to make some tweaks for your particular situation. I’ve also updated the plugin in recent days to display better quality avatars, as well as not to require any additions to your template in the install instructions, and a couple other minor things. I’m still waiting on the WordPress repo to give me approval for adding it over there. Once I get that, I’ll drop a note here so you can update to the latest version.
Please comment on the trac covering this error: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2456
1. False. We get it everyday in our bug tracker.
2. BuddyPress.org and testbp.org see substantial traffic, and our showcase includes other high traffic BuddyPress powered sites.
3. BuddyPress.org is powered by the trunk version of BuddyPress, and could easily be powered by any 1.2+ version with only modifications to allow it to run on the shared .org space.
4. BuddyPress is operated in a similar fashion as WordPress, and has the complete support of the core contributing team of WordPress. That’s actually a good thing.
5. BuddyPress uses the same license as WordPress does. That’s another good thing.

have a look at @boonebgorges plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-external-activity/ and you could modify that to attach to usermeta vs groupmeta
The only prob im having is creating a blog from groups>example_group>admin>groupblog – if you select a existing blog, all goes fine. When you select to create a new blog I get the following error though it does create the new blog despite the error msg.
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in F:Programmesxampphtdocswordpresswp-contentpluginsbp-groupblogbp-groupblog-admin.php on line 23

First: I have not updated to WordPress 3.0 … 
I used “root” instead of “admin” and I immediately replaced after the installation all text with “admin” in the database with “root”.
Hey @modemlooper !
Thanks for your reply, but it doesn´t work… To remove the action bp_get_displayed_user_nav(), I need the hook to which the function to be removed is hooked.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_action
I think bp_get_displayed_user_nav()… isn´t hooked anywhere! 
Edit: Need a function like replace_action( $function_to_replace, $function_to_add, $priority, $accepted_args )! 
Like str_replace in php, or something!^^
Hi there, when I first rate a post, this msg appears:
Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpress-mu/wp-settings.php on line 765
Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpress-mu/wp-settings.php on line 780
If I refresh, everything goes back to normal.
Using WPMU 2.9.2, BP 1.2.3 and malleable for BP 0.0.7 on localhost.
Regards,
1) Yes, this is possible via this plugin – http://www.justin-klein.com/projects/wp-fb-autoconnect
2) Yup, BP offers profiles with avatar uploading / cropping.
3) By P2P, I believe you mean the activity stream. You can disable that in the admin area.
4) It depends what you mean by “simple forum”. The forums in BuddyPress do not offer a universal backend to administrate topics. Also, an important distinction you need to know is BuddyPress uses a concept known as “groups”. You need to create a group before you can enable a forum. This is similar to way Facebook works with fan pages. If you need a traditional forum (with forum categories, admin interface), stick to your bbPress install.
If you just want profiles, you can enable just the profiles component and turn off the rest.
The fundamental difference between BuddyPress and bbPress is this:
-bbPress is a forum
-BuddyPress is a social networking script
I believe it’s possible to have extended profiles and avatars on your bbPress install as well. There should be a few plugins out there that does the job.
Re: future of bbPress – it’s pretty much confirmed that bbPress will become a WordPress plugin some time late this year (in fact, work has begun!). Standalone bbPress will cease to exist. However, there are plans to provide backwards compatibility to the new plugin via an import script.
Thanks a lot! I was surprised that there was that many errors but I guess i’ll just go with it!
You can ignore notices for the most part; it’s something the BP core dev team needs to clean up, but won’t affect the functionality of BP.
I believe you have WP_DEBUG defined in wp-config.php, if you do, uncomment that line.
