@Tekuan_Coleman
Gotcha! Here’s how…
1- Enable “Hide Main Theme Nav”, “Add WordPress pages/menus”, “Add Buddypress components” and “Scroll with pages”.
2 – Go to “Sizes & Position” and adjust the “Overall navbar width” to the width of your template.
3 – Play around with “Vertical offset” and “Horizontal offset” until you get it positioned about where you want it.
4 – Save settings.
5 – Now go to “Appearance” > “Menus” and select the WP3 custom menu you want at “BP-WP-Navbar Menu 1”
6 – Click “Save” at “Theme locations” and “Save menu”
7 – Check your site and refresh a page.
8 – Repeat, lather & rinse until you get it “just right”.
9 – Have fun!

Hi,
I’ve just installed buddypress1.2.6 on wordpress 3.0.1 and I’ve followed the instructions to activate NETWORK and multisite after that activated the BP theme and then as soon as i activate buddypress everything goes blank white screen, after enabling the debugging of wordpress I get this error only
Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of apply_filters(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in /home/www/sitename/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core.php on line 562
but like page full of the same warning on different php files from bp-core.php till bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-templatetags.php on line 193.
I don’t have any other plugins installed or even uploaded, I tried the search the forums first but the only mention of this error did not have a final fix.
Please help!!!!
I’m not sure which way is better, seems lots of people have done great jobs.
Here’s a tip I took as guiding to start my bp customizing journey : http://wpmu.org/how-to-widgetize-a-page-post-header-or-any-other-template-in-wordpress/
After registered the widgets and created the new page template, style the widget area. Create Pages you need to use for bp compoents (activity, groups, members, …) ,choose the new page template.
Use Custom Field Template plug in or other means to write contents and bp loops in the widget areas. Custom Field Template says its php code is experimental, but my blog doesn’t have problem with it.
Another way I want to try but not tried yet– copy bp componets pages and add widget in it. Not sure if this can be done or not.
I’m preparing a brief for a public company to realize a community of 3,7 millions of people, they asked me to show them others web sites realized with buddypress and/or with WordPress realized for others public administration all around the world.
Can you help me posting some of this sites?
thanx in advance
wolly
Hey everyone,
I’ve set up a WordPress multisite installation using the latest version of WordPress (3.0.1) and the latest version of BuddyPress (1.2.6). I made my one subsite the root blog for BuddyPress, as I want my main site to be informational while this subsite to serve as my main site’s social network.
When I try to upload an avatar for my profile, I receive the following error:
“Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /avatars/1. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”
I receive a similar error when trying to upload an avatar for a group:
Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /group-avatars/1. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
My “wp-content” folder has 755 permissions, so I’m unsure of the issue. I’ve looked through forums here and on WordPress for the last couple of days. While there have been forums on this topic, none have necessarily had my particular conditions (wordpress 3.0 multisite with the buddypress root in a subsite.)
Any and all help so I can simply upload an avatar to either a profile or a group would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
WordPress 3.0.1

Hi,
I’m running the newest version of wordpress on multi site with subdirectories and buddypress 1.2.6.
Buddypress is installed on a secondary install. My avatars are working fine in buddypress itself but they don’t work in my main blog.
I made a test comment on an article and it allows me to comment but where the avatar should be there is just an empty image.
So for whatever reason the path to the avatars is not working correctly. I’ve searched the forums but didn’t find anything that would fix my problem.
All the help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
EOR
I’m having the same problem.
On an older (v. 1.2.5.2) BuddyPress site on it’s own WordPress (3.0.1) install I was able to upload avatars just fine.
Now, on the latest BuddyPress (v. 1.2.6) driven subdomain on a WordPress (3.0.1) network site, I’m having this upload problem. The error message specifically is:
“Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /group-avatars/1. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”
Seems like a bug in the latest version. As @BionicClick pointed out above, this very site (buddypress.org) has the same problem!
Please, there are problem to download WP-fb-autoconnect from wordpress site as you can see in a note on “justin-klein-com”, it says:
Note: As of November 18 2010, this plugin seems to’ve mysteriously dissappeared from WordPress.org. I’ve e-mailed them about the problem, but they’re notoriously slow at replying. Hopefully it will be resolved and available for download again soon.
Someone please can send it to me by email?
One question…can you set up the form so only logged in users can see it?
Also, are there any examples of buddypress in a single user wordpress environment?
there are several plugins you can find on wordpress.org plugins for frontend posting, there is even a buddypress frontend posting plugin around here somewhere.
you could also use http://gravityforms.com which is the premium route.
or you could do it yourself http://wpshout.com/wordpress-submit-posts-from-frontend/
ah and there is the option where you can leave access to the dashboard and just css the heck out of it to make it look like the frontend.
I like both the gravity forms and dashboard theming options.
@boonebgorges works perfect! thanks. I have hopefully one last issue that completely has me stumped. It works on my testing machine, but when I put it live I get errors. It has to do with me including the above idea but using my own custom data table. I insert my own form and add it with the function like above and put my own processing in the save function like above using the standard insert/update sql pointing to the new table for the form. It works on my local machine, but when I upload it live and click on ” create group” i get the following error….sorry for all the code

I am working in a child theme and I am at my ends trying to fix this. I am so close to what I want to do I just would hate to give up now. thanks for any tips you can give me.
Create a child theme and add header.php into it. Then wrap the BP components including bp_nav_items in conditional tag https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in
Sure. In terms of WordPress user roles, WordPress cares only about two – admins, and everyone else. Admins can of course do everything, and everyone else can do everything *that BuddyPress provides*.
I will check into what the “blocked” role does, and if need be, I’ll patch BuddyPress. I’ll update this thread later.
Desha – good question. Paul – thanks for chiming in. What’s confusing, however, is that if I leave the “subscriber” role selected as the default for new users as part of the WP admin panel, a new user can still access the admin panel (and perform the normal Buddypress participation activities also). That said, if I select “blocked.” the user cannot see the /wp-admin console at all, but can still interact with the social/buddypress features …
Could you please provide some insight on why/how that happens?
Thanks again — great plugin!
Hi (and thank you in advance for your replies),
I would like to have a WordPress page where every member on my site can participate in an open discussion. I do not want them to have to (explicitly) join any group or do anything special. Essentially, it is like a wall where everyone can contribute, with the most recent posting at the top (and the input field also at the top). Is there a way to use BuddyPress to do this?
Thank you.
Hi jwack: I’m using S2Member for my membership plugin, and it takes over BP reggie and sign up files in its own way, so I hesitate to respond from my own knowledge. But, I found this video http://wordpress.tv/2010/07/10/sabin-wilson-buddypress-boulder10/ by Lisa Sabin-Wilson that may be helpful for you, in understanding the page structure.
I’m reading her BuddyPress for Dummies now, but I just started and so am still, basically, a dummy;-)
good luck!
It will fit most any theme with some modification to the HTML and possibly CSS. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
