Hey thanks but still does not seem to work or I’m communicating my question. When I add a new page to our wordpress site I pasted a link into the html body. The menu for the site now has “forum” but it always redirect me to the wordpress generic forum link not the buddypress group forum.
Desired link:
`gwspacesociety.rog/groups/students/forum/#post-new`
The resulting link:
`http://gwspacesociety.org/wordpress/forum/`
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Hi, new to all this. Using WordPress 3.0.1. I’m a Peace Corp volunteer in Moldova. We’re doing a youth project with 20 different communities around the country where each group will create a blog and every individual blog post will appear on the main site page.
Tried using the plugin Community Blogs but it didn’t appear to be functioning. Then, I think I figured out a way to accomplish this using MU Sitewide Tags. But just when I thought I had it working…
I can’t access any of the sample blogs I’ve created. I get redirected to a default website page or i get error messages like:
The server can not find the requested page:
/wp-login.php (port 80)
Please forward this error screen to node01.tmdhosting940.com’s WebMaster.
or
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_has_groups() in /home/cetateni/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-group-management/bp-group-management-bp-functions.php on line 73
Any help regarding why I can no longer access any blog or what plug in is best to accomplish multiple blogs feeding into one would be greatly appreciated.
Thks 
Hi Everyone,
I’ve mentioned this before so some of the regulars here may remember this, but I’m currently collaborating with Davide Benini on the Events Manager plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/events-manager/) and we’ve just finished a major rewrite of the code, which will allow us now to make some seriously needed upgrades. The plugin is pretty stable now and we’re planning on extending it further. One thing we’re going to do over the next few weeks is make this work with buddypress so that users can manage their own events. If people have any ideas on specific features in the buddypress department, we’re open to suggestions!
I plan to install BP but I would be grateful for a comparison of what additional functionality visitors to my site would have if I also enabled multisite. I understand that MU in effect turns a site into a sort of wrdpress.com in the making, with visitors able to create their own blogs. But the home page of this site states that with BP you can “allow each of your users to start their own full powered WordPress blog.” So BP alone will let my visitors “start their own full-powered WordPress blog” or does that also require MU? Is there a comparison anywhere of what a BP site can provide, with and without MU enabled?
Thanks
Well, I think I got the locations figured out … buttons are showing up on the General Settings section of the profile. Here’s what I did:
For Facebook
`add_action(‘bp_template_content’,’sfc_login_profile_page’,50); //Simple Facebook Connect account link function`
For Twitter
`add_action(‘bp_template_content’,’stc_login_profile_page’,51); //Simple Twitter Connect account link function`
I’d have to work with style a bit but, hey, they’re where they ought to be! That’s not the end of the story though. On the wordpress profile, you’ll see options to disconnect from the remote account (Facebook or Twitter) but these options don’t show up on the bp profile.
Seems like running both the Twitter and Facebook connect simultaneously gets a bit buggy. If linked to twitter for example, the facebook link button won’t click through.
Also, after linking accounts you have to sign out of buddypress multiple times (if you initially signed in with your buddypress login, then again with eg. your facebook account).
All this is making me think twice about putting SFC and STC to use in my system even though it looks like a sweet and full featured integration. I’m sure some one with a little more skill could make it work. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks for the link Rolly. Any thoughts on modifying the WordPress login page. Can one create a login page vs. using the stock page?
Thanks,
James
I use wordpress MU 3.0.1 and the newest version of buddypress.
When I sign up or login, it goes to the main page. How can i change it to my blog ‘s admin page? just like WordPress.
Thanks.
@Dwenaus Yeah, I’m in it for the social networking. I think I actually tried job-manager yesterday, but it didn’t seem to play nice with Buddypress. I’m guessing some plugins for WordPress will work with BuddyPress, but not all…or?
I just tried Jobboardr. The CV part seems great, but I can’t figure out how to create job posts (is it disabled or am I going blind? ). Also, I tried to create a group (thinking jobs might be dependent on groups), but a got an error message saying “Please fill in all required fields.” when pressing “Next Step” on the privacy settings page (public/private/hidden group).
@babelsheep yes this is possible and a good idea for a plugin. However If all you need is a job board and you don’t need social networking then I believe there are wordpress plugins that do this well.https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/job-manager/ is one choice but there are others.
I had the same error and still wanted to use the theme – after I renamed it and got rid of the error message, I tried disabling the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin I’d installed to try to get a normal WordPress theme to work. Then I went back and applied the same buddypress theme again, this time with no problems.
Additionally, if you want members to be post in frontend of blog where BP is installed, you can use either
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/one-quick-post/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jet-quickpress/
Additionally, you can enable multisite on your WordPress site and then allow all of your users to create their own blogs.
Yes you would grant users ‘Contributo’r or ‘Author’ privileges to write on the main blog, what I do is add links for certain user capabilities to the adminbar so there is an easy route to the create new post & pages screens.
BuddyPress is a WordPress plugin so you install BuddyPress the same as other WP plugins. You might also like to check out:

Installation
Ok, I have the latest BP installed on WP 3.01. I would like my users to provide content, you can call it a blog if you like. Something other than the forum.
How? Users should go to /wp-admin and there write a blog?
I reinstall BP, it seems all right.
Thannks.
Just have: No can’t create a blog from the initial registration page, but yes can create a blog once signed in which is pretty telling really. You do not have a clean install at work here it is a modified one, remove any and ALL mods made, any plugins that might be messing things up, add the admin bar back in while testing, in fact do not hide the admin bar as it’s still creating mal-formed markup using the admin option to hide it which I thought had been fixed after I raised the issue/ticket; what version of BP are you running?
Please remove my sign up.
I’m using this plugin : https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-secure-invites/
I have restricted registration only by invitation , yet I got one registration ….
have to done all the spam blocking techniques mentioned here to my installation … but did some definitely
sorry for not clarify issues.
First,
In Registration Settings, I selected “Both sites and user accounts can be registered.”
And When I sign up a new test account , and select to create a new blog with a given sub domain name.
But, there is no new blog created , the test account only become a member of the main site.
please check it from here: http://usenode.com/register/
you can test it.
Thanks.
I’m not sure we’re not talking at cross purposes here.
you say “new user was for main site” ok all fine and good but “mot a new created blog site” ? not sure what that means.
A new user registers they opt to create a new blog, they become a member of the main site i.e the parent WP site which is running BP they also get a blog created at a sub domain address this blog is in effect a standalone blog it should be linked to however from their profile. Iniatially they will be the only person registered to that sub domain blog and the main site has to allow users to register to the sub blogs.
still have problem, the new user was for the main site. not a new created blog site.
Custom Community Theme is a multi columns (left, right, left and right), widget-ready Buddypress theme. It comes in a clean and simple css-design in a light or dark version. You have an admin option page to customize nearly every part of the theme. It has a community-navigation widget, is 100% WP 3.0 compatible, e.g. custom menus. Also it has a custom header to change text color or add a logo or background-image.
