Interesting ! I am waiting for that too.I know a plugin seaweed.But it is not working with Multisite installation and not updated by the developers a while .
fjrichman… I agree this is a problem. It would be one thing if BuddyPress only added the padding when the site visitor was logged in, but it’s poor form to add 25px pixels padding to the body regardless. I understand that it would be a problem for WordPress developers who don’t call body_class(), but, by default, the BuddyPress default stylesheet (adminbar.css) should specify its padding on body.logged-in, not on the generic body tag. In any case, that’s the easiest solution I know of. Just modify adminbar.css (most likely at /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css) on the first line to body.logged-in. If for some reason you have themes that don’t or can’t call body_class(), you can use the is_user_logged_in function to override the BuddyPress styling. Something like: `body#mypage { padding: 0px; } `. Hope that helps, two months later.

Looking back at your question, I see that you were actually asking more generally to start about BuddyPress tweaking a design wether or not the user is logged in. Well, in that case it would be harder to have a one-size-fits-all solution. Sorry if I missed the thrust of your question, but this may be helpful to others.
Hello. I’m not sure if I am posting this in the right area or not, but I hope so. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. I’m new to WordPress and to BuddyPress. At any rate, I recently installed both WordPress and BuddyPress into the root directory of my website. Over the course of the last few days I have been noticing that my Members Directory seems to have something a little screwy going on with it. Every time a user clicks on a page it updates their status on the Member Directory page when the page is sorted “Last Active”. However, it creates a separate entry each time a user browses to a page or does anything else at all. So, for instance, if I log onto the site, and I browse five different pages (or even click the “Members” button at the top five different times, it creates five entries on my page, each a few seconds apart. This seems a little weird to me. I would think it would just create one entry for each user on that page and update that one entry each time the user clicks on a page or does something else. Is this behavior normal or is something wrong?
Example:
#
family_site_admin
active 35 seconds ago
#
Member avatar
family_site_admin
active 52 seconds ago
#
Member avatar
family_site_admin
active 57 seconds ago
#

Sure. There’s one featured WordPress.tv presentation from WordCamp Yokohama. It’s a Japanese site (with English translation), http://loftwork.com, which only used BuddyPress components like Blog Tracking, Activity Streams, Private Messaging and Extended Profiles. Didn’t use Friends, Groups and Forums.

Rename the buddypress folder in wp-plugins via FTP or cPanel to deactivate BuddyPress.
The correct translation in WP lingo is “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” And while this was triggered by activating BuddyPress, it starts with your WordPress installation.
There are plenty of threads in WP.org forums and Google search with different solutions to get back your Admin/Super Admin privilege in the installation. Good luck.
I just installed a WordPress 3.0.3 (portuguesse) and downloaded buddypress. After I activated the Buddypress plugin I couldn’t access any of my pages anymore… I get the error message “Sem permissões suficientes para acessar esta página.” something like: “Without sufficient permissions to access this page.”
Am I supose to make any change in the users configuration?
Thank you for your help.

no, I was referring to the fact that core wordpress only shows a user’s blog under “My sites” that they are admin on.
If you alreayd have users with blog, and then add buddypress, then yes – this has been a persistant issues. BP doesn’t automagically go find them all.
Are you on a Windows server?
What I am talking about is the administrator account. The mention identifier is “@admin” Right next to name,
My admin account username for wordpress is different, therefore the mention not being correct as “@admin“, as it shows on my profile.
Does this make sense?
Whenever you want to have multiple loops on a page, you’ll have to define your own WP_Query. Here’s a good tutorial: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2008/04/13/define-your-own-wordpress-loop-using-wp_query/
It sounds like the key in your case will be ‘post_type=post’.
See this codex article https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts for info on what arguments you can feed to WP_Query (they are the same as query_posts() )
@r-a-y, or any other, I noticed there is a slight flaw in buddypress, for future versions.
When the admin account is created for buddypress, the @mention is “@admin“. Well @admin does not mention the administrator, because the username of the admin account is different than “@admin” when creating wordpress, so when any user is mentioning admin, it is different than what it says on the profile.
Example, says “@admin” on profile, but actual @admin mention does not work unless it is @gunju2221, the account username I have for wordpress.
Yeah, I saw that WP.org thread and Andrea_r gave answer there and Ipstenu as well
@wp_y2m5tr take time to read the link given you in that thread
The best solution is to re-do the whole installation manually, as Andrea_r mentioned. If you’re getting into BuddyPress where you would have to add some configurations manually in htaccess/wp-config.php etc., then manual WP install and making it multisite would be good knowledge to have and good practice to boot.

“I recently used the plugin Enable Multi-Site to configure WordPress Multi-Site for my Buddypress install. “
Seriously – this is not recommended. I always recommend people set it up manually. the plugin only does 2 or 3 things for you – not the whole business and it doesn’t do any server checks that need a human eye.
‘If I try to navigate back to the main URL, I get nothing but a blank screen. Strange….”
No, not strange – it’s a common error called a white screen of death.
It means you have some php messed up somewhere.
Can you get in to admin? Go in there, disable plugins. 90% chance something in there does not work with multisite.
well eevryone is i just posted as well…and im using all the latest updates both wordpress and BP
@bcade someone posted the same thing about “Enable Multisite Plugin” in WordPress.org forums, see if solution provided there will work for you.
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-enable-multi-site-enable-mult-site-only-partially-worked?replies=3
I recently used the plugin Enable Multi-Site to configure WordPress Multi-Site for my Buddypress install. The installation seemed to go ok, and I configured it to use sub-directories as my hosting service does not support wildcard subdomains. After the install, the ‘Blogs’ menu shows up and I am able to set the configurations so that users can register and create blogs. However, when a new blog is created either by a user or admin, the main site does not display. After the new blog is created, you cannot navigate back to the home page until I go into wp-admin and delete that site. Is there anything I need to be paying attention to on the server in order to fix this? Thoughts, ideas?
The GPL only applies to *distribution*. If your client plans on packaging up the website somehow… then worry about it.
“Does that mean that all of the code for this project would have to be GPL licensed and made available for free because we use BuddyPress for social networking? “
no, it does not. only if you actually *release * it. Just having it as part of your website is not releasing your code.
think of it this way – Buddypress is a plugin for WordPress. Anyone who build a site on WordPress itself is also not required to release their code.
(and I will note that GPL doesn’t mean it has to be free either. There’s plenty of for-sale GPL plugins and themes.)
after installing and activting the Bp chat i recieved this message and was blocked from accessing wordpress and m site
Fatal error: Call to a member function get_page_permastruct() on a non-object in /hermes/bosweb/web011/b118/ipg.sobscom/wp-includes/link-template.php on line 274
If you want to use a WP network install, you need to install WP in the root and not a subdirectory:

hi, I had similar issues… even after removing the blog signup at registration, spammers would sign up, activate their accounts, and then create a new splog. to help cut down, I tried these steps:
– changed my registration slug in bp-custom.php:
define ( ‘BP_REGISTER_SLUG’, ‘join’ );
– also added a redirect of wp-signup.php inside bp-custom.php:
function register_redirect() {
if (strpos($_SERVER, ‘wp-signup.php’) !== false ) {
$url = ‘http://www.mysite.com/join’;
wp_redirect($url);
exit;
}
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘register’);
those two helped but didn’t completely remove the issue, this plugin really nailed it for us though:
– installed this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invitation-code-checker/ (since we have a local comm site, we just used a zip code as the invite code)
Not sure how your site is set up but perhaps you can find a way to use it too, may even allow you to re-enable blog sign up at registration. It says Tested up to: WordPress MU 2.8.4 but I have WP 3.0.3 with network enabled and BP 1.2.6 and still seems to be working just fine.
Most of these suggestions were pulled from helpful posts on BP, hopefully they help you out a bit 
Paul, I would like to know how to force my WordPress installation to run BuddyPress on only the Super Admin site, and not the member blogs. Could you guide me through the process. Thanks.
