I don’t think so, because BuddyPress doesn’t make use of WordPress roles or capabilities yet
Now that BuddyPress runs on WordPress in single blog mode… what do people think about running BuddyPress on a shared host in single blog mode with a community of maybe 175 members. Again… there would just be the ONE parent blog. No sub-blogs.
There’s something like that already. Just needs to be updated https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-badge/
@alexbdd Following the instruction in this BP codex article https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
Go to server and download the template folders/files transferred by BP Template Pack plugin process to your active WP theme folder down to your computer.
Open up activity/index.php
change this at the top, replace:
`
`
with
`<?php
get_header ();
?>
<div class="column span-“>`
At the bottom of same file, replace
`
`
with
`
<?php
get_sidebar();
get_footer();
?>`
Save file and upload to server following the directory structure. You need to do the same thing in the next 12 files.
There’s no cache (only WordPress’) but the activity stream content is written once into the database. You’ll have to go into the database, bp_activities table, and make changes manually.
So I started building with buddypress and wordpress just to work it out, and now I want to go live with what I have, but I’ve put in a few “joke” names and such for people. I thought that it would be fine, when I go live I’ll just change the nicknames to the people’s real names, but apparently there’s some sort of caching going on which I can’t figure out.
How will I reset this so that people’s names (on activity streams and such) all reset to their current names. I don’t mind the caching at all – I’m guessing it helps! :p But all I want to do is remove all the current cache and re-cache it with the current names.
If you want to completely disable public registrations, and only want to set up a invite only BuddyPress community, check out this plugin as well: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-secure-invites/
Should work in combination with the plugin Mercime mentioned 
1) You could import/export all posts and comments from LJ to WordPress site. https://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content#LiveJournal. Didn’t check what WP version the script was compatible with, but you can download WP versions from this page
and upgrade to later version later.
https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/
Currently, there are no scripts to convert these into a BuddyPress group setting. You might have to hire someone to consult with or to implement that as well as import users automagically as BP/WP users along the way.

#2 and #3. Haven’t seen any indication that this can be done except probably with RSS imports/exports. I suggest you clear up #1 first before moving along these questions.
= I found some article and plugin for custimizing WP theme for BP ==
That’s one way, using your WordPress theme and installing the BP Template Pack plugin to transfer BP template files (for BP component pages) plus ajax and js goodness to make your WP theme BP-compatible.
Another way is to create a child theme of the bp-default theme
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
then adjust via CSS only to change layout and colors or do more than that.
It does. Below is what is in the Footer php file:
`<a href="https://wordpress.org/" title="” rel=”generator”> – Designed by Gabfire Themes
`
== I can no longer reach the main index template from the editor as a Network Admin ==
If you mean files in child theme of bp-default theme, that has been reported
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/3096
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16744
If on other themes, please provide more information or steps to replicate problem.
What is LJ? If it’s another group or forum software, you will need to search for a LJ to wordpress bridge. Otherwise, there is no other way to import, unless there is a feature with the LJ software.
1) Is it possible to import all posts in LJ community to my BuddyPress group? And with comments tree?
2) Is it possible not only import but regular updating this BuddyPress group from LJ community new writings? By using RSS-import plugins I suppose?
3) Is there any solutions for crossposting between LJ and BuddyPress blog (and group)? And between separate WordPress blog and BuddyPress one?
=== two themes on the same wordpress install ===
If you mean use two themes for a single WP install or a single site of a WP multisite install. No. I seem to recall a plugin that was supposed to do that a long time ago, but I doubt if it had even been upgraded nor if it will work with BuddyPress.
What can be done right now is to create a child theme of bp-default then copy over the “regular” WP pages from bp-default theme into your child theme like index.php, page.php, single.php etc. and call a different header, footer, sidebar and even styling for those specific pages.
Hello,
I have installed/activated the BP and BP template pack. I am using a theme on regular wordpress.org NOT MU. I do not see the admin bar on the top of my home page or any other. I only see the My Account drop down menu when I am logged into the dashboard.
http://www.givingscene.com
I have read SEVERAL forum posts that talk about a dashboard settings area that includes settings to enable registration etcetera. I do not have that.
Is there a helpful video tutorial from beginning to end so I can find where I made a mistake? All I did was add the 2 plugins in my dashboard and activate and go through the template steps up to Step 3. If there was something else I was supposed to do, I probably missed it.
PLEASE HELP. I am at a complete loss.
I have this issue as well. Just migrated from a shared hosting environment to a VPS. This is the only change I’ve made. My stats:
Wordpress 3.1
Buddypress 1.2.8
Default Favicons
Root Directory
Core files untouched
Plugins:
BuddyPress Template Pack
W3 Total Cache with Object Cache & Minify active
BP-Album+
MarkItUp RTE (manual JS plugin install)
So the issue is only on some groups. On both groups that work properly and don’t, there are no obviously problematic HTML validation errors. On the groups that are problematic, MarkItUp doesn’t appear on the textarea, and when “reply” is clicked, the page reloads (hashtag visible), and no comment box appears. Oddness. Thoughts?
@merciime The tutorials you linked to shows how to make buddypress pages look like the wordpress theme. What I want to accomplish is to have my regular wordress pages have it’s own theme, and use the default buddypress theme (that comes bundled with the plugin) for BP specific pages. In essence I want to use two themes on the same wordpress install.
I’m doing some development and today got onto trying to register a few dummy accounts to play with but the activation email is not being sent from either the default theme, my own theme or Twenty Ten
WordPress 3.1.1
Buddypress 1.2.8
I’ve searched and found all sorts of explanations and suggestions to use a plugin to change to SMPT but I think this is going in the wrong direction. If I write my own script and send mail via PHPs mail() function it works. If I go to the WordPress default login and click “Lost your password?” and put in an email address from an unconfirmed account I receive an email on that account and when I click the reset link in that email I can then login.
PHP mail() works on my system.
The default WordPress forgot password form sends email.
The registration form on Buddypress default theme does not send email.
The WordPress “Lost your password?” has <form action="url_to_site/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword …
The Buddypress forms are <form action =" " … Interestingly though if you click "Complete sign up" the form is validated and you are taken to a confirmation page where you can upload an avatar.
This sounds like a bug, swins like a bug, smells like a bug. Anyone know what it is, where it is and how I might squash it? I’ve been looking half the day and am posting here in the hope that someone has already found the blighter.
Cheers

I really miss the current wordpress admin bar when using buddypress.
The modification of the current buddypress top bar should be include for admins:
1. Add new for all the custom post types.
2. When in a post or page there should be a link to edit current item like the new wordpress admin bar.
I think it is not too hard to include and we will have it in upcoming buddypress.
Thanks!
Hi not-so-poor Programmer,
That stuff made my head spin. Exactly the reason why I became a poor designer. I kind of misunderstood the functionality as it seems, and so it is more to prevent dupes in the stream, and for hidden and private groups.
I think the functionality described by me will be extremely useful for bigger communities. I’d rather not start blocking certain types of Activity Stream items (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/) and just show certain items to followers/friends only.
So if you could do something magical to make that happen.. I think a lot of bigger BP communities will be pleased. Or just turn it into a plugin! (HINT HINT LOUD NOISES)
