it is not going to work there.
nope, i installed wordpress by uploading the files via FTP.

Maybe I do it all wrong, but I’ve found that on WP when I have an issue with a plugin, I end up going to the plugin page (e.g. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/) hoping to find answers in FAQ, notes etc. If I don’t find answers there, I click on “Forum Posts” link on the page, which takes me to posts tagged for that plugin e.g. https://wordpress.org/tags/buddypress and then if I click Add New, I find that the plugin tag is already added (and plugin name automatically appears in topic title too..except in case of bbpress and buddypress).
Because WordPress.org forums works like this for plugins, and because Buddypress is a WP plugin, I think that a more vibrant discussion at https://wordpress.org/tags/buddypress might even encourage more WordPress users to use BuddyPress. (more posts, frequent posts, fresh posts are usually, correctly or incorrectly, perceived as good support).
Add to this the fact that the forums on buddypress.org plain suck! They suck!
Don’t get me wrong here. People are fantastic and I’ve experienced volunteers jump to help out…and that’s brilliant.
But from the perspective of usability, Buddypress.org forums suck, probably because Buddypress forums suck…I don’t know for sure…I’ve been exploring and reading for weeks and haven’t yet installed Buddypress myself….but I did read in Buddypress website somewhere that Buddypress includes a watered-down forum…
Anyway, the point of this long winded post is that it surely would be nice to have a single place for support, that WP.org forums are a better candidate for such a single place, and that the team should consider merging the support…
so I downloaded the plugin and made a wordpress account but after that I don’t know what to do
‘Tags’ are added by users it’s their decision to do so not WP support to run a specific support area for BP, in other words there aren’t support forums in two places really, it’s just unfortunate that people would ask BP specific question on WP support when this dedicated site exists.
Ok scrub my comments, WP does what bp does here for plugin support, so Yes! it is unfortunate that two places exist to support one entity.
Hi there,
I’ve done clean installation of buddypress & wordpress and I’m getting this bug.
I’ve set groups, members and forums pages as childs of activity, when I go to
activity/members and activity/members/username it works fine but when I go to
activity/forums I’ve got a clean page and when I go to activity/groups the css is all messed up.
Any idea in how to fix this?
I want to split the member and group navigation by type, how can I make it?
Is there any function to do it?
I want to split the navigation in two different menus, one private and another public
Example:
in member:
– Activity, Groups, Profile, Forums – public menu
– Settings, Messages – private menu
How can I do this? Is it possible?
Why not? 
Not all posts at WP.org forums tagged buddypress have issues specific to BP. In many cases, WP.org moderators have referrred posters to our forums here. In some cases, I’ve referred posters here to multisite forums or third-party plugin and theme forums in WP.org when appropriate. And many plugin and theme devs have their own forums as well.
If your post is unanswered after 24 hours, feel free to bump your topic. 99.9% of those who help out here are volunteers/developers living in different time zones.
Welcome back. Closing and marking as resolved.
This is resolved for me now, please close.

Why have support forums in 2 places for buddypress – here and at http://wordpress.org/tags/buddypress?
I think it wastes developers’ time because they have to look in 2 places, and it confuses users who don’t always know where to post/read…
Considering that buddypress is a wordpress plugin, it might better serve the product and all concerned to merge all support into wordpress forums
Some web-hosting providers might need you to install a wordpress plugin such as https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/ and/or https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
wp-mail-smtp also has a useful debug feature and more settings…
We have installed Group Documents plugin on our WordPress 3.2.1 site with Wishlist Member 2.71. We are using Group Forums and we can see the Document tab within the Forum, but when we click on the link, we see what appears to be a Wishlist “Ooops” error page and no sign of the documents.
Any ideas on why these two plugins are intefering with each other?
there was a fatal error.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_get_activity_slug() in wwwwp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-membersbp-members-loader.php on line 114
WordPress 3.3, buddypress.1.5.3.1
Maybe I misunderstood, but there’s an equivalent hook for member header `bp_before_member_header_meta` in groups header bp_before_group_header_meta so you don’t have to filter `bp_get_group_description`
This means that you haven’t completed the compatibility process specifically Step 3.
In your case, based on the free iFeature theme in WordPress theme repo, you will have to change 16 BP template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your iFeature theme folder in your server during the compatibility process. Therefore the following instruction is for that free iFeature theme:
Download the 6 BP folders from your theme’s folder to your computer hard drive.
Starting with /activity/index.php, open up with text editor and at the very top of this file and the remaining 15 files, replace:
`
`
with:
`<?php
global $options, $themeslug, $post; // call globals
$page_section_order = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘page_section_order’ , true);
get_header();
?>
get($themeslug.’_disable_breadcrumbs’) == “1”)) { chimps_breadcrumbs(); }?>
?php chimps_before_page_content(); ?>
`
At the very bottom of the all 16 files files replace:
`
`
with the following (except for register.php):
`
`
with the following for register.php
`
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});
`
Save all files and upload to your theme’s folder in server, following the directory structure strictly.
If this doesn’t work, you can request theme author to take a look at this post and show you the correct placements.
My wp-config.php file is noted below. I’ve installed Buddypress in the main “Network Admin” site…and set it to ‘Network Activate’. HERE is what I’ve defined in the WP-CONFIG.PHP file:
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );
define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );
$base = ‘/’;
define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘www.networkit.com’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );
define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
/* 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’);
You see any problems here? Much thanks for your time @hnla
I get the following error when I try to activate buddypress 1.5.3.1 on my wordpress 3.3.1 install.
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
I had it running earlier tonight but I messed it up. dropped the database, created a new database wiped the web server and reinstalled WP and buddypress with no other plugins.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Hmmm Now I have installet det buddypresse plugin at my nettwork admin at my multisite.
Before I do anything else:
I got this message:
https://skitch.com/baiaz/g3hww/plugins-network-admin-wordpress
What does it mean and what do I have to do next?
I have made a site in my wordpress multisite where I want to have the buddypress installed.
Should I go to my new site and sett the buddypress as the theme?
“Installation of WordPress Breadcrumbs” from http://yoast.com/wordpress/breadcrumbs/
01.Download the plugin
02.Unzip the package and upload the file to your WordPress installation’s plugins folder
03.Enable the plugin
04.Adjust any settings you want under Settings -> Breadcrumbs
05.Add the following code to your theme’s template(s):
`<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) {
yoast_breadcrumb(‘
‘,’
‘);
} ?>`
Again……where in my buddypress default template? They don’t say……..
BP uses either the user_nicename or user_login fields from the wp_user table to build those member URLs. Your best bet is to figure out/find a WordPress plugin that does what you want, and then test it against BuddyPress.
Hey
Just learned how to make a multisite of WordPress.
Now I want to make sa site called something like dogs
on this site I want the buddypress installation to be installed.
But how do I do this.
I have installed my wordpress – and my plugins are installed in the nettwork admin. Also I download the buddypress. there.
Should I run the settup there and only make the site dogs choose the buddypresss theme?
