Will this allow me to have two separate templates? One for my wordpress site, and the other for my buddypress install?
@ri-kun The answer to your second question is not straightforward, though it has been discussed before on this forum. I suggest posting it in another thread so that other users will be able to help you with it. You might also have a look at this plugin by @pollyplummer https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-sliding-login-panel/
Hi John
Change front page via Administration > Settings > Reading panel. You may have to edit your theme’s header.php to remove the “home” link. “About” is the name of the WordPress page of the same name, so just delete it.
I’m running a big network of wordpress websites, but 99% of them are non-BuddyPress.
Do I really have to network activate BP? It will slow down my other sites and I have no use for it.
What can I do?
This plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-external-activity/ has the basic infrastructure to do what you’re looking for, though it doesn’t yet have a way for users to enter their own RSS feeds via a front-end UI. I plan to add that in the next version.
I’ve been experimenting with WordPress Mobile Pack on my BuddyPress site. Made some progress so I thought I’d share how…
Context is BuddyPress already installed, WordPress Mobile Pack installed:
1) enable Appearance – Mobile Switcher
2) set the mobile theme to “WordPress Mobile (blue)” or other, but not base!!!
3) under Appearance – Menu, create a new custom menu (for mobile navigation) with the following 4 URL links…
Link: Activity /pathto/activity/
Link: Members /pathto/members/
Link: Groups /pathto/groups/
Link: Forums /pathto/forums/
4) add the custom menu to the bottom of your sidebar, under Widgets (unfortunately visible for non-mobile too, but it not too conspicuous)
5) now under Appearance – Mobile Widgets enable only that custom menu (otherwise mobile navigation is a problem)
6) the BuddyPress links don’t work as the mobile theme isn’t compatible, so hack them in on the command line:
$ cd ?pathto?/wp-content/themes/mobile_pack_base/
$ ln -sf ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity ./
$ ln -sf ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/forums ./
$ ln -sf ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members ./
$ cd ../mobile_pack_blue/ (or the one you’re using, but not base)
$ ln -sf ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/groups ./
Your good to go! You can’t use the mobile base theme as it already has a “groups” directory which stuffs things up (if you’re not a nokia).
Hi there,
I have a hard time figuring out which plug-in does what and which I can use for my needs…
I have installed Buddypress and made a WordPress Theme working with a Plug-in that automatically converts the WP theme in a BP supported theme…
Now my first question, I am scared of breaking something, I ran into an error that took me a few hours to fix the other day… Will WordPress Plug-ins work with this certain set-up or only BP Plug-ins??
And here is what I’d like to have running on my site but I don’t know which Plug-in will be the right start.
1. A hospitality exchange Platform where members offer a bed in return for being able to crash on someone else couch for free
2. A Job Posting Board
3. A Product Review Section
4. A possibility to submit cycling routes using Google Maps
5. A Meeting and Event Section
6. Member of the Month Contest (Poll Form)
7. A Donation tab
8. Each Member should have his own Blog within my site with an URL that is easy to remember e.g. mysite.com/tim
Thanks so much for looking and thanks for your help in advance
Cheers
Toni
I am having a simular issue. I am using the Jooc theme, wordpress 3.0.1 and Buddypress 1.2.5.2, my admin bar is not showing on the front page. It does seem to be showing in the admin panel. I have deactivated, and deleted bp, and I checked the functions file for the theme as well, and it has the same code as posted above.
Perhaps this could shed some light…
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-multi-network/
Not much documentation but perhaps a peek at the code might help. Or a little query directed at @jjj
@art1c
Have you tried my plugin?
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/add-all-nav-links-to-bp-adminbar
Along with enabling or disabling the “Add WordPress pages” and “Add Buddypress components” features, you have complete control over the style of the adminbar in an easy-to-use UI. Just enter the colors you want where you want them, save, and you’re done. 
Yes, I suspect the group template only has the current group initialised when you are on a single group page. So, only has one group to loop over. The same as being on a single post page vs. a category page in standard WordPress. We had a similar issue with the activity loop.
Try passing the full set of parameters to the groups loop, rather than either a subset or none.
Let us know if that fixes it.
and adding all your wordpress pages to the menu dynamically..

There’s also a snippet for putting the pages into a drop down menu instead of straight across the top..
Hi, I want to block certain domain names like hotmail.com from registering on my site. Is it possible in BuddyPress?
On wordpress they have this plugin called Ban Hammer which does the job perfectly but unfortunately it does not work with buddypress.
The devs are working on it. Maybe a month or so… in the meantime this plugin might help. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-kaltura-media-component/
in wordpress settings General check if you have the time zone set right.
Hi All,
Please don’t mock my lack of technical knowledge!
I’m a none technical user of WordPress and Buddypress, and am currently creating a new network, however there’s just one thing which I want to change, but I know its going to be within the code. I want to change the font and possibly the size of the site title (in the bottom left of the header by default) and the page title (in the top left of the content by default).
Could anybody please point out where to do this in the code?
I have got the site exactly how I want it, however I just want to change this, and it would be stupid to get a developer to do it!
Thanks in advance,
Adam
Im not sure why it only solves part of your problems.. But I wrote up an article complete with plugin to dynamically add all your pages to the buddypress bar.. Maybe this will help?
http://erikshosting.com/wordpress-tips-code/add-pages-to-buddypress-admin-bar-dynamicall/
Hey this thread might be a little bit old.. But I wrote up a tutorial on adding menu items, drop down menus, & drop downs with flyouts Via a plugin so its all upgrade safe.
The link is here:

Here is another tutorial on how to remove the downward facing arrows from certain bp menu items:

HI!
I recently installed BuddyPress plugin in my wordpress project but I got this message
Warning: Missing argument 5 for bp_core_fetch_avatar_filter() in C:xampphtdocssouthparkwp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-corebp-core-avatars.php on line 479.
What does this mean? And how can I solve it?
Try this tutorial to widgetize your home page. Then you can use any widget you want on it.
http://wpmu.org/how-to-widgetize-a-page-post-header-or-any-other-template-in-wordpress/
“the buddypress links show either as blue links in a tree on a white page”
Based on search in this site, there have been issues with the qTranslate plugin, Since the plugin also hooks onto the bp adminbar, it could have caused your links to appear without any styling. Did you follow the instruction to delete code line for qTranslate to play nice with BuddyPress? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-qtranslate/
Hello,
I’m using buddypres with WordPress multi-blogging
I’ve installed buddypress on a secondary blog (thanks to your help in http://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/buddypress-not-on-themainblog/?topic_page=2&num=15#post-69546 ) and I’ve managed to display the buddypress navigation bar on my main blog by adding wp_footer(); in my footer.
I’ve recently installed the plug-in “Followers” (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-followers/), it works perfectly on my buddypress section, but the link to the followers list is not available in the other blog’s navigation bar.
themainblog.com / my main blog (the follower link is not in the navigation bar)
blogwithbuddypres.themainblog.com / the blog with the buddypress’s function (the follower link is in the navigation bar)
blogname.themainblog.com / a blog from the network (the follower link is not in the navigation bar)
Did anyone of you had the same problem ?
Thanks you for your help.
best regards,
Is your WP single site or multisite? Test WP functions first before installing BuddyPress to isolate the problems you have in your install. Run Settings > Permalinks and set it to other than default. Deactivate BuddyPress and qTranslate. Now go change themes in WordPress site – is the theme layout showing as expected? Upload media in site. If you’ve gone multisite, upload media in subsite/blog also, are images showing up in posts with WP default theme (twentyten) on for main site and subsite? If answer to either is no, then you have to resolve those issues first before installing BuddyPress by going to https://wordpress.org/support/
