Hello caplain. You can use plugins for this. I’m using Invite Anyone. You can search Extend section by typing “invite” and visit WP Plugins Directory at https://extend.wordpress.org/plugins
For Blog postings, you might try Glenn Slaven’s plugin. I haven’t tried it with WP 3.0.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/friendfeed-comments/
You could also go with Disqus or Intense Debate … to synch comments in blog postings.
For activity stream … I have not tried this … but … use tweestream to sync between site and twitter, use FriendFeed tool to keep twitter and FriendFeed synchronized … that should do the trick at the basic level.
Wordpress 3
Buddypress 1.2.5.2
Fresh new installations
(No upgrades, no conversions, just Multisite/multiblog and subdirectory from the beginning)
Sample blog post – http://kmela.net/kc/newdemo/2010/07/06/new-post-one/
Sample activity stream – http://kmela.net/kc/members/newdemo/activity/
User newdemo is confused as she uploaded her avatar from BP but cannot see that in her blog comment 
I hate repeating myself but the reason I mention the renaming is BuddyPress uses the “forums” slug by default, so if you installed standalone bbPress at /forums/, there will be a slug conflict.
Did you even install standalone bbPress?
On a properly-integrated bbPress and WordPress install, you can login at standalone bbPress and you will be logged in at WordPress and vice versa. I’ve done this on multiple occasions and it works.
@boonebgorges Sorry, I wasn’t very explicit. I am visiting the user’s profile while logged in as an admin, which gives me the Admin options in the admin bar, including the option to “delete this user”. That way, it doesn’t work.
I’m sure I can delete the user from within the WordPress interface, but that is what I want to avoid. So I want to find out what could be causing this BP error.
Hi there. Thanx for the tuts & info.
Any chance of updating malleable for BP theme ? I see you removed it from xfactor site.
@anaxent sorry for the late reply, been away for a few days.
Yes, the current version of the theme on http://bp-theme-converts.com/mystique-with-buddypress/ works with BP 1.2.5.
Feel free to post any issues or support for plugins you want on the forums there.
If you’re experiencing problems deleting users via the WP user management panel, then it’s probably not strictly speaking a BuddyPress problem. You might try deactivating BP (deactivate BP-dependent plugins first!) for a moment, to see if you’re able to delete members with BP turned off. If not, then your problem is WordPress related.
we didn’t solve this…
We have updatet the installation to WordPress 3.0 and the newest Buddy press Version….
has anyone any ideas or the same problem??
I have made fresh, clean installs of WP 3 as multisite and Buddypress 1.2.5. While everything works OK avatars uploaded at BP are not shown in WP blog, blog comments etc
I posted a demo link at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-show-bp-avatars-in-wordpress-blogs/
Does the demo version ay buddypress.og works okay with WP multisite blogs – is there any demo?
This bug is actually making Buddypress 1.2.5 unusable.
i understand that. I wanted to get this working before attempting the BP install, but I never got an answer over at wordpress.org, and everyone here is very knowledgeable.
@r-a-y I used your code suggestion and some that I found in Restrict User 2 With Viper’s original Restrict User Plugin
Found here http://www.viper007bond.com/wordpress-plugins/registered-users-only/
because I wanted the site to be restricted to registered users only… still allow access to the login/activiate page and ALSO allow access to the feeds…
I ended up with this.
// Depending on conditions, run an authentication check
function MaybeRedirect() {
// If the user is logged in, then abort
if ( current_user_can(‘read’) ) return;
$settings = get_option( ‘registered-users-only’ );
// Feeds
if ( 1 == $settings && is_feed() ) return;
// This is a base array of pages that will be EXCLUDED from being blocked
if ($bp&&($bp->current_component == BP_REGISTER_SLUG ))//buddypress
return;
if ( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || is_page(‘welcome’) ) //buddypress
return;
$this->exclusions = array(
‘wp-login.php’,
‘wp-signup.php’,
‘wp-register.php’,
‘wp-activate.php’,
‘wp-cron.php’, // Just incase
‘wp-trackback.php’,
‘wp-app.php’,
‘xmlrpc.php’,
);
It appears to be working… Do you have any thoughts on the above? Thanks
There are limitations, but it depends on what you mean by integration!
The tutorials I listed integrates single sign-on with standalone bbPress and WordPress, which consequently means BuddyPress as well.
Okay, then follow the guide from the previous thread I mentioned:
http://developersmind.com/2010/06/17/upgrading-wordpress-mu-2-9-2-to-wordpress-3-0/
Read and implement everything.
Chances are you’re missing the .htaccess edit and moving /wp-includes/ms-files.php to /wp-content/.
Follow the instructions first, primarily you need to edit the .htaccess file and you need to move /wp-includes/ms-files.php to /wp-content/.
FYI, avatars are stored in the uploads directory, which differs depending on what flavor of WordPress you’re using.
For single WP, that would be /wp-content/uploads/.
For multisite, that would be /wp-content/blogs.dir/BP_ROOT_BLOG_ID/files.
Avatars are not stored in the DB.
Doug, it looks like you upgraded from WPMU 2.9.2 to WP 3.0. Chances are you did not fully accomplish all the upgrading steps:
http://developersmind.com/2010/06/17/upgrading-wordpress-mu-2-9-2-to-wordpress-3-0/
Follow everything listed there.
@alanchrishughes – It sounds like you want to integrate a standalone version of bbPress with WordPress, I’ve already given you directions on how to do this.
Please do not hijack an old thread, post a new one to discuss your problems, or go on the bbPress forums for help.
*Edit: Here’s another guide that might be easier to follow:
http://www.wpmods.com/integrate-wordpress-bbpress
If you are not yet running BuddyPress, then you will need to visit the WordPress.org support forums. This is a lot of information on this issue. WordPress is the foundation on which the plugin BuddyPress is installed. As you indicate above in your answer to question 6, you do not even have BP installed, so this is purely a WP issue.
I’m having the same issue using it with wordpress 3.0
You need to contact the plugin author. They have a support group on BuddyPress.org but have not activated their group forum. Please read the readme.txt file or visit the plugin’s page on the WordPress Plugin Repository for information on how to contact them.
As the How-To and Troubleshooting forum is for supporting BuddyPress, and not 3rd-party plugins (especially ones that require payment to have AdSense code removed), I’m closing this thread.
@silversurferes, I’m closing this thread per above reasons. You did not do anything wrong. 
@johnjamesjacoby Yes Buddypress 1.2.5
You can only override functions which are pluggable – I don’t believe any exists within BuddyPress (just the standard wp pluggable.php)
actions are just trigger points that are defined somewhere in the code
