First, you need to create a network, i.e., make your WP into a multisite installation. If you need assistance in creating a network, log in and post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite
Hi i really hope someone could offer me a helping hand.
I have been setting up buddypress for my site and everything works like a charm other than the groups.
Firstly when i go to the groups page which is located at /groups/create/step/group-details/ i get
‘Not Found
Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.’ above the group creation script.
it allows me to input the group name and description but when i click create group and continue it opens a wordpress page saying ‘are you sure you want to do this, please try again’.
Also when I try to view a group which I created when I reverted back to the buddypress theme, it comes up with Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDWHILE in /home/*****/public_html/wp-content/themes/**********/groups/single/home.php on line 21.
Its driving me mad. Please if anyone can help i would really appreciate it.
@mercime many thanks for info
will take a look.
There was a plugin called Google Maps Made Simple or wpgmappity from http://www.wordpresspluginfu.com/wpgmappity/
that allowed front-end posting (and configuration) of google maps.
It still works. There is an example of what it can do in the p2 theme (front-end posting) at http://www.rubyrvews.com/.
I’ll leave a test user account open for a week ( user: tester password: tester1 ) in case any potential developer might have a look, see it working, maybe insert a map and, perhaps explore if it can be ported to buddypress.
All i know is – it works on p2 front end and is reasonably intuitive to use.
though the login asks for email it accepts tester !
I have the same problem. All the main pages (groups, activity, forums, etc..) work fine, It’s just the “Buddybar” links under “My Account” like Profile, and such. This is a fresh install of WordPress and Buddypress with no plugins and using the default buddypress theme.
As far as I know rewite_modules are turned on – if they weren’t wouldn’t pretty permalinks not work at all? Although I’m still thinking it’s something with my host as buddypress works fine running on localhost with xampp..
Any idea what could be going on?
Could this maybe be buggering it up….? this WP/BP install is on my domain’s root, but I do have some subdomains running other wordpress installs (no buddypress).
Thanks for any advice.
hello all,
in wordpress, it is easy to add administration menus, for example. to add options page is also straightforward. what if i want to a ‘tab’ to the list of tabs users can click on. the default list includes ‘activity’, ‘profile’, ‘messages’,’settings’, ‘sites’ and … what if i want to add additional tabs at top level or under the existing ones. how do i go about this.
thank you very much

Check out JanRain’s plug in. It works great and you get other social network as well.

After more research this is expected behavior in WP Multi Network. Users are only added to the main blog, not the sub blog they join on. Kinda weird but that is the way it works.
I tried the WPMU Default User Role https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmu-default-user-role/screenshots/ but it didn’t work for me.
Multisite User Management https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-user-management/installation/ did the trick!

Hi,
Thanks for your help!
I added this line of code: define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true ); to my wp-config.php file but the results were the same. If I click on any of the tabs under My Account or Notifications I get led back to my main site.
I tried putting the code in different locations throughout the wp-config.php file but it made no difference, this is where it is now. (see below)
* For developers: WordPress debugging mode.
*
* Change this to true to enable the display of notices during development.
* It is strongly recommended that plugin and theme developers use WP_DEBUG
* in their development environments.
*/
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );
/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);
/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);
Please help!
Thanks!!!
Update: I just created a completely fresh install of WordPress Multi Site, with no plugins or thems and registered a new user. The user account is not added to the site and, of course, does not have any permissions. Yet the user has access to the site as a member.
Kinda weird. It’s like there is some hidden permissions granted.

Hello All,
Basic Config: WordPress Multi Site, WordPress Multi Network, BuddyPress, BuddyPress Multi Network, WPMU DEV BuddyPress Social Them
Issue: When a site visitor registers at any site the user is not added as a user of that site and does not receive at least Subscriber permissions. The user does show up at the top Network Level.
Is this normal behavior? If so is there anyway that I can accomplish the end result of a user automatically being at least a subscriber member of a site that they register on?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TYIA, Eric

Sorry for what is a really a beginner question. I am working with a new, blank theme for BuddyPress and I would like to customize a section of the file entry.php located in wp-content/themes/mytheme/activity/entry.php. There is a section the username of a post along with the time of the post. I need to customize the css classes and html around each of these and PHP is pulling this information with . I cannot seem to find out which file anywhere holds the username, text and date information inside that line of php.
Any help or pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.
WordPress Version 3.3.2
BuddyPress Version 1.5.5
If you want to add code not just CSS you probably want to use an action like here: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/action-reference/groups/
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API is a great ‘getting started guide’ on using those.
can any one suggest a plugin for share activity Within the Blog?
Like facebook share to share content like images,videos within the blog.
i am using wordpress buddypress latest versions.
Thanks n Advance
Are there any plugins that make possible the insertion of google maps in the activity stream ??
Have looked around :-
There is a static group google map plugin by Brajesh at http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-buddypress-simple-google-map-plugin/.
However, at the moment, it is just for insertion in tab on groups and no front-end controls are available. But it does work. Thanks Brajesh.
Many other goggle map plugins allow uses of shortcodes.
Fine for posts and could be used front-end with slight instructions for users.
However using short codes in activity stream results in [Read More] insert
see
http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4051
A Google Map Module would seem be an ideal addition to Buddypress Activity Plus ?
Anyone know of some other current solution ?
Not sure if it still works as intended as it is about two years old but you might want to have a look at this plugin. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-usernames-only/
