Hi forum,
I just updated my WordPress to the newest version and I disliked one thing right away, the fact that they placed the footer links in the top left corner of the new admin tool bar. I wrote a small snippet to remove it.

PS. Are we supposed to see the admin bar of BuddyPress.org? 
@animeshtripathi
You may also want to look into a plugin that will allow you to use the same e-mail address all accounts, unless you really want to create either 1). 300 E-Mail Accounts or 2). 300 Forwards.
You can check the plugin below out. It should suite your needs.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/allow-multiple-accounts/faq/
Install BuddyPress first.
Activate your Evolve theme.
Install and activate BP Template Pack plugin to make your WP Evolve theme compatible with BuddyPress.
Go through the BP Compatibility Process – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
Before installating BuddyPress – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server
How would one go about getting the buddpyress links / notifications in the WP adminbar (3.3) like they have on this site?
I do not want the search bar though : /
Also, has anyone on this site figured out the style for the drop-downs for the admin bar? WordPress support is still lacking the answer…
Thanks @mercime that worked perfectly! I’m sure others have the same issue.
[php]
function something( $field_id, $value ) {
//…
}
add_action( ‘xprofile_profile_field_data_updated’, ‘something’, 1, 2 );
[/php]
see https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_action
I’m doing some initial information gathering to ensure my installation and setup of BuddyPress goes smoothly. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of information out there that seems out dated, ie references to MU version of WordPress, etc. The question I have is whether or not I need to install “BuddyPress Template Pack” prior to installing the core BuddyPress plugin. I use a theme called EvoLve Pro by Theme4Press. Thanks in advance for your support!
How can i held new topics, new groups and new comments for moderation from the admin panel before they appear on the website…? i am using wordpress 3.3 and buddypress 1.5.2
The same question I have. Placing a link “user profile” to a custom menu so the logged in user can access his profile directly.
I heard that with the new release of wordpress and buddypress it should be possible but couldn’t find out how yet.
Any idea?
I am just beginning to work on the back end of my site http://www.Sr4G.com and help members upload data. Specifically pdf files, photos and text to display in Documents area as per my web designer has provided wordpress docs.
Installing WordPress is not to difficult. Google your host name and how to install WordPress and you should find a tutorial.
Fair enough. That makes total sense. Thanks. I will probably install fresh without the script installer. It works, but if I get into trouble (which I will) I won’t ever know if it’s the install or something I’m doing despite the install.
Cheers
Somebody posted a topic a few days ago with a problem and the reason they had a problem was they used the host installer for WordPress. What Paul is saying is that it may be ok but in my experience I’ve had issues.
You may not have any issues, each web host is different.
Thanks. I appreciate the replies but now I’m as confused as before
One says yes; the other, no. Anyone else have thoughts?

Before upgrading WP/BP, there’s a message to back up database. If you have a back up of that database, you can re-install WP/BP and import database
WP 3.2.1 – https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/
BP 1.5.1 – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1
Hey all,
I seem to be having some issues with the transition from old WP to new.
A sequence of unfortunate events has lead me to wipe out my once beautifully integrated WP-BP coupon enthusiast site (www.shopcents.net). The entire site was fine one day, and completely a wreck the next. I was getting redirection errors as well as 404’s on every page and blank screens when trying to access the dashboard. I had to delete all themes and plugins from my ftp manager. Now, starting fresh again I installed the WordPress update 3.3 and next on my list was to install Buddypress again. I did so through the Plugins page and upon activation I get a blank screen. When Buddypress is deleted, everything goes back to normal. To make sure this wasn’t a site or hosting issue, I installed a Maintenance Mode plugin and all works fine.
My hosting company (of who I won’t mention any names) tells me that there are no hosting issues going on and therefore won’t help me. I am desperately seeking some advice from all the seasoned WP-BP veterans out there!
Thank You!

Will be updating BP codex re child themes for WP 3.3 and BP 1.5.2
Ok, so I think I am still experiencing the CSS issue on page editing screens because I am developing a child theme of bp-default. I updated the functions.php file as provided on the ticket but am I supposed to alter my child theme functions.php file? I have no idea how that would go. Maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree? Please help! 
`if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ ) ) :
function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {
// Bump this when changes are made to bust cache
$version = ‘20111102’;
// Register main stylesheet
wp_register_style( ‘child-theme’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’, array(), $version );
// Enqueue main stylesheet
wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-theme’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_print_styles’, ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ );
endif;`
Hi all,
Is there any plugin I can use to autogenerate blank member profiles with a default password and a randomized URL? I’m using the latest versions of WordPress and Buddypress.
Best,
Animesh
Script installers are plagued with problems, I would avoid it if you can.
need help please with the menu on buddypress widget theme. here is my site – http://nexneurocare.com – can you tell me where to fix the css to make the menu nav behave? thanks a lot. paul L
wordpress 3.2.1, buddypress 1.5.1
@rodtrent new Custom Community 1.8.8 is not yet out in WP repo but available at https://github.com/Themekraft/Custom-Community – this version is compatible with WP 3.2.1
Btw, BuddyPress 1.5.2 for WP 3.3 is out now https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/
As long as the scripted installer does everything correctly, it’ll be fine.
Hi. I’m new to it all, just got WordPress working, and now I have a second domain for another install of WordPress that I hope to be a BuddyPress site. I read somewhere (can’t recall where) that I should be installing and configuring WordPress manually if I am going to add BuddyPress, and not using my host’s automated WordrPress installer script. Not something I’m completely comfortable with (the script did it correctly for WordPress install on my other blog). Is this the case? Or does experience say it doesn’t matter (using softaculous script).
Thanks!
