Plugins should not include its own jquery, WordPress already includes it. Write the plugin author and tell them to fix their plugin.
I’ve been trying to find the answers even though I know nothing about Jquery. It talks about wordpress jquery files being no conflict files. Are buddypress jquery files not set up to do that? What can add to other Jquery scripts to keep them from conflicting with buddypress?
Hey guys,
This code works perfectly, just insert the code into your theme’s function.php file.

Enjoy!
Never mind, I figured out how to do this correctly. For anyone else that finds this thread and is interested here ya go (everything laid out):
Full Instructions:

Plugins:

Steps:
• Create your second WP network with Networks+ / WP Multi Network
• Activate BP on the sub network and go through the installation wizard
• For forums you need to tweak your bb-config.php a bit (this only applies to those using the BP Group Forums option)
*Also, the answer to my original question is no you don’t need:
define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );
…unless you want to show the SAME BP profiles on EVERY SINGLE BLOG.

CDN = Content Delivery Network. A place where you upload static files like CSS JavaScript images and anything elses a page would request. This will allow fewer http requests to your server and CDNs make copies of files across globe so clients accessing file will get it fast as it’s closer.
Amazon has S3 CDN or you could simply use DropBox. Other options are header caching for longer periods forcing browser to download copies and keeping them locally.
Most of the WordPress cache plugins work with BuddyPress but youhave to pay attention to the dynamic nature of activity streams / forum posts. You can cache these areas but it should only be for like 30 seconds. But that’s only necessary for sites with thousands if users.
I want to set up BP Multi Network and Networks+ plugins with BuddyPress 1.5 to create multiple BuddyPress social networks within my main network. All the instructions are clear on this page http://wpmututorials.com/news/new-features/multiple-buddypress-social-networks, but one question to anyone else who has this setup, do I need to still have:
define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );
in wp-config still? My existing setup is this:
1. WordPress 3.2.1 with multisite enabled
2. Two child test sites
3. BuddyPress 1.5 installed on main root site using define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );
4. Professional Domain Mapping plugin installed
5. Mingle BuddyPress theme by Parallelus
Is there anything I should know before installing / using BP Multi Network and Networks+ before installing (like will I still need to run the BuddyPress installation wizard a second time on my new child network / child blog since it’s already installed on the main root site)?
Thanks!
BuddyPress will run slower than a basic WordPress because you are using more db/server info with each page refresh. Anything than can to enhance a WordPress install will help BuddyPress. Use a cache plugin, not run many plugins and use a theme that doesn’t require as many files. You could use a CDN to offset server hits to static files.
Loving the whole concept of Buddypress, but having installed itmy site is now running considerably more slowly. Are there any particular issues I should be looking at to restore some of the lost speed and, indeed, does Buddypress put a higher load on my server?

Well everyone I appreciate you taking a look at this, I found the solution to my styling issue at the Paralleus support forum for my theme, Salutation: http://para.llel.us/support/groups/salutation-wordpress/. Just log in and search ‘achievements’ and you’ll find a long thread that will take you through it. A couple other issues popped up but hopefully nothing that causes the headaches that this one did.
Thanks
I have the same issue. For now I’ve created a menu link to domain/blogs/create/ but I’d rather it be in the Buddy Bar. Also, going to “Dashboard > Sites > Create Site” takes non admins to domain/wp-signup.php which takes them to the site’s home page.
I’m using WordPress Multi-Site + BuddyPress + Membership Premium.
I finally got a grip on creating category template files within WordPress. Create ‘category-slugname.php’, upload it and voila.
Can you not do the same thing when BuddyPress is being used?
I’m using a modified version of the BP theme “FakeName”. When the site I am working on was a flat WP site I had a file named ‘category-scholarships-grants.php’, and it worked fine.
Created a ‘category-scholarships-grants.php’ file and put it in the FakeName theme directory (which I know is correct because I’ve made modifications for header.php, sidebar.php)… and the category file does not have any effect on the category.

Goal: Add BuddyPress with GROUP forums using bbPress.
Situation: Current WordPress has bbPress installed as a SINGLE forum. BuddyPress is not installed yet.
Problem: On a test WordPress site, when I add BuddyPress, bbPress uses existing files and shows up as a SINGLE forum and will NOT show up as a GROUP forum.
Q1. How do I remove/restructure bbPress so I can add BuddyPress with bbPress as a GROUP forum? (I am ok with losing current bbPress data, but would prefer to backup for a different use.)
Q2. WHERE is current bbPress forum DATABASE so I can copy (then remove) it before I install BuddyPress with Group Forums using bbPress?
We use wordpress as cms for a large content based site. We recently integrated buddypress.
The problem we are facing is that is a user ‘edits’ a post anywhere on the site, it appears in the activity stream as ‘X wrote a new post….’
This should not be happening. How can we fix this?
It’s actually pretty simple. It’s explained very briefly in the plugin’s installation page: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-export-users/installation/
Step-by-step:
1. Download the plugin to your computer.
2. Unzip it and open the file bp-export-users.php in a text editor (notepad, notepad++, gedit, etc.)
3. Find these lines:
$this->wp_fields = array(
'ID',
'user_login',
#'user_pass',
'user_nicename',
'user_email',
'user_url',
'user_registered',
#'user_activation_key',
'user_status',
'display_name',
'spam',
'deleted');
4. Add the names of any custom WordPress user fields you want in ‘inverted commas’ before the closing bracket ) making sure you put a comma in between the fields. E.g. ‘deleted’, ‘custom field’, ‘custom field2’)
5. Find the lines:
$this->bp_fields = array(
'Name',
'Telephone',
'Job Title',
'Organisation',
'Region',
'Primary Discipline',
'Grade',
'A bit about you',
'twitter',
'flickr');
6. Add the names of any custom BuddyPress (xProfile) fields you want to export in the same way.
7. Save the file.
8. Zip the folder.
9. Install the plugin in your WordPress installation using the upload method.
And you should be away.
Hi, I’ve installed the Buddypress and bbpress plugins to my wordpress site which works great. However some spamming characters are signing up and posting advertising comments. We don’t get too much discussion, so is it possible to moderate each topic/reply before it appears live?
I’ve tried the Settings>Discussion options but they don’t seem to affect it.
Thanks!
Michael.
I added a custom menu (from WordPress) and select only the pages I wanted to be there. This is a quick fix but I think if somebody knows the URL it would still be accesible. I’d like to see a plugin or something to hide the members page from anyone.
Cheers !
Are you saying the favourites activity count is off? https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3794
Ok so I created a page called members and went to the buddypress section on the left side of admin. It just takes me back to the same page I created the members page on with no other buttons or links to assign any page to anything?
You need to create one page for each active BuddyPress component. So create a page called members and then under the BuddyPress admin menu you will find a link called pages, you assign that page to the members component.
The title says it all and when you hit the repair button you get the a menu that wants you to create associated pages.
What the %(*&%)% is this?
It´s almost working 
Kind of lost all of the urls that were placed in the admin bar, do you know were I can find them back in my dashboard?
Looking for the url to go to profile, messages etc.
