I should have come back.
I wrote this. Works fine on BuddyPress.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/register-ip-multisite/
hello
I use WordPress 3.0 and BuddyPress
I created sub-blogs.
example: http://www.xxx.com / demo /bmember>>Bmember registered user demo site
How do I prevent a Bmember from entering other blogs?
example:www.xxx.com/demonew/bmember (not login and link showing )
only http://www.xxx.com/demonew/
best regards.
I don’t know if anyone is still following this thread but I discovered the users with this problem had not activated the account. So I installed this plugin so I didn’t have to keep deleting and recreating these accounts. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-activate-users/installation/
FYI the users either were not receiving the email, or so they say, or the message went to spam or didn’t activate when they clicked the link.
hope this helps.

Have you tried the Widget Logic plugin? You can determine the placement of widgets using both WP and BP conditional tags. That means you can create custom sidebars for ANY component, category, tag, post, page, etc… Give it a whirl; it’s a lot easier than trying to code stuff from scratch 
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic/
thanks, i’ll check out the plugin
On the default theme it takes me to the wordpress register page which works fine–On the custom theme it generates a register page with the theme that craps out
How to make it work with WordPress Single Blog:
Step 1
—-
Go into the plugin folder and open the bp-auto-group-join.php file. Line 67 should be:
`add_submenu_page( ‘wpmu-admin.php’, __(“Link Auto Join Groups”, ‘buddypress’), __(“Auto Join Groups”, ‘buddypress’), 1, __FILE__, “auto_group_join_plugin_options” );`
change it to this:
`add_submenu_page( ‘options-general.php’, __(“Link Auto Join Groups”, ‘buddypress’), __(“Auto Join Groups”, ‘buddypress’), 1, __FILE__, “auto_group_join_plugin_options” );`
That first argument just tells the action hook `add_submenu_page()` where your plugin menu item should go based on page slug. The options-general.php slug corresponds to the “Settings” menu. So you’ll get a link for the plugin settings under the Settings menu. I couldn’t figure out how to add the link to the BuddyPress menu since that menu works a little differently.
Step 2
—-
Go to line 147:
`add_action( ‘wpmu_new_user’, ‘update_auto_join_status’, 12, 2);`
Add add this new line below it:
`add_action( ‘user_register’, ‘update_auto_join_status’, 12, 2);`
I figured the wpmu_new_user action hook wouldn’t work with single WP. I was right. I tested with the additional user_register hook and it works. Joy
I am using Buddypress 1.2.6 on WordPress 3.0.1 and I am experiencing a weird error.
When I mark a user as a spammer I get two or three of my own legitimate blogs marked as spam blogs. Does anyone have any idea how this could be happening? Could it be a plugin conflict?
Thanks,
John
Hi Everyone – I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for but this is what I did! And NO coding required! lol
Under Buddypress Componet Setup enable the Group Settings. Now go to your profile page and set up as many groups as you like. Then use the Buddy Press Registrations Groups the author page is this – http://hardlyneutral.com/wordpress-plugins/ this will have the groups show up on the registration page and they will be asked to select which group they are a FAN of.
If you want you can go to the Editor Page or your FTP or Cpanel for that Plugin and on this page: buddypress-registration-groups-1/includes/bp-registration-groups.php scroll down to you see where it says Fan of and check one or more areas of interest and chance it to whatever your website needs are.
I hope this helps.
Another great plugin is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-member-filter/ When you put brackets [ ] around any word in your profile it makes it a link to all other members that have that word or phrase linked. So when you click on it all members with that link come up on a list.
Here is a example I use on my directions page for creating their profile.
[Hair Stylist]
I am a [Hair Dresser] [Beauty Salon] owner I offer [Hair Cuts] [Perms]
[Hair Coloring] [Hair Highlighting] [Braiding] and other misc [Hair Care] services.
I am available Monday – Thursday for appointments only.
Again I hope this helps someone!
I’ve encounter the same requirements for a profile field to be editable only by admin that is non-editable by suscribers.
Someone could eventually commit a small plugin that allows this sort of administrative tagging.
Outside of buddypress perspective, I end up using wp_usermeta database table with a call to add_user_meta($user_id, $meta_key, $meta_value [, $unique] ) and when i need the info stored i use get_currentuserinfo()

It’s a problem with buddypress.org’s hosting situation. As @crashutah alludes to, buddypress.org shares user database with wordpress.org, which at the moment has pretty severe restrictions on the kinds of files that can be uploaded.
I’ve spoken with some of the staff at Automattic about the problem, and they’ve informed me that the general restrictions on uploads at wordpress.org will be lifted relatively soon. At that time, the avatar problem here will be fixed.
I can’t implement any other fixes on buddypress.org at the moment because of the fact that it’s running a WP 2.9.x installation, which must be upgraded before any more fixes go up. That upgrade process is going to be very complicated. I’m working on it.
In the meantime, I agree that it’s not a great first impression, but I encourage you to download the software and check it out.
Hello —
I’ve been following the various threads about creating separate BuddyPress networks, but I haven’t quite managed to divine the current state of things:
There’s this patch, here (http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2561), that seems quite promising.
I gather that it didn’t make it into trunk — but man! It sure would be useful. At any rate, it seemed like some work was being done here on the matter: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/wpmuguru-working-with-bp-mu-ticket/
That fizzled out.
It appears that the issue is still being brought up( http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/ ), where it’s said that it won’t make it into 1.3. I don’t know if that means the ticket above — which really just opens the door to a plug-in — or something else.
At present, I have really jammed up my client’s system, in claiming that BP could be installed on MU — only to be shocked to find all users activity broadcast on every installation! That, of course, is how it’s supposed to work, but I’m trying to see how to salvage things.
At any rate, I was just hoping to get a read from some knowledgeable folks about the current state of the development for separate BP sandboxes, and what, if anything, can be done to hasten it on its way.
Thanks!
@Ishimwe Do you think asking for help is something wrong ?
Yes you may argue here that i used a wrong way but can you get the scenario here. I posted that kind of Language after 3months !!!
Ok second fact you said i should appreciate others’ efforts ( others should include both Buddy press developers and its users) … but you are considering only one side here .Lets for time being say i am a nerd i don’t have any knowledge about PHP or rather any kind of programming and what CMS are build for ? to simply solutions for non programmers. So what i am appreciating here is ‘ TIME & Energy ‘ of people who are not as good as you in programming so i am telling them there are these kind of problems in this system instead of getting to know about it after putting your time and energy look if you can solve them and then only decide to use this CMS . .. whats wrong with that approach ??
Again if the solution provided by you solves the problem as i have not tested it but if it does then don’t you think my this post which is actually all over Google if you search anything even close to buddy press will help buddy press users ( both new and present ) who are facing same problem ?So my coming here to vent about buddy press is actually going to help people than otherwise i guess !!
Hello,
i’ve installed BP and ran the BP Compatibility Theme Pack plugin which worked like a charm.
However, I’d like that my bp pages to look slighty different than my wordpress’. As BP is using the page.php I would like to modify that file to change some settings if the page that is currently being shown belongs to BP or WP.
Something like:
If ( in_bp() ) {
// do these things
} else {
// Do these other things.
}
Which function should I use for this?
All best,
Will
Nevermind, I found what I was after in BP Album
I too am experienceing this problem.
buddypress Stylesheet is missing.
using WordPress 3.01 and BuddyPress 1.2.6
oh yeah, what Paul said. I may attempt a plug-in. Not a full fledged blog posting plug-in but more a notes type thing like on facebook.
Or, yes, you can just change their permission from subscriber to an author so that they can post in the backend.
Best way to do this is use the premium plugin ‘Gravity Forms’. It will enable you to set up a submissions form for a post that they can fill in, write their article, attach a picture and then post. It will automatically publish or you can set it so you have to publish it once submitted. I use it and it works GREAT! One of the best plugins for WP in my opinion!
What if I just want them to be able to add posts and then have the buddy press features? Could that be done by changing their permissions from being a subscriber to an author and then also using buddypress?
THANKS so much! Yes, the directory does exist. I did the DB backup, removed the bb_ tables, ran the forum installer. Returning to the forum setup I see this:
bbPress forum integration in BuddyPress has been set up correctly. If you are having problems you can re-install
NOTE: The forums directory will only work if your bbPress tables are in the same database as your WordPress tables. If you are not using an existing bbPress install you can ignore this message.
I also see the new tables in my database. What I don’t see is any forum control panel on my admin side or how to include a link to it in my site navigation. I’m looking around in the WordPress admin and on the visible site itself. What am I missing?
No, if you want users to have a blog you will need to enable multisite
