    I didn’t realize BP wasn’t like wp. I am using Standard WP. I just figured as with standard, I could have wordpress/buddypress reside in a subfolder and use the settings-general page to move everything to my root .com folder. I’m just looking for mysite.com/members/a-member vs mysite.com/folder/members/a-member

Now the only problem is, any and all buddypress links point to ”mysite.com/bp/xyz”. Help!

      You shouldn’t have built your BP site in a subfolder…

          If you tested BP in a subfolder, you would have known that all BP links would reside in that sub-directory.

          Did you install BP in WPMU or standard WP?

              It <strong<is like WP… BP is just a plugin for WP.
              You installed WP in a sub folder, so your pages would exist like mysite.com/wp/page-slug.

              If you have WP installed in the root, just install BP there.
              Of course, you should test all your changes somewhere before deploying your site live.

    Are their any hooks/any way I could write a plugin that added features to the registration? After submission it asks them if the would like to integrate twitter/facebook, etc?

    Just spent half hour trying to customize the activity feed when I post a blog post. Then I came across the http://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/ article. Thanks @andy and @johnjamesjacoby as well as the rest of the bp community for making Buddypress so great.

    Yes, and speaking of them I’m having trouble with a post-voting plugin that sets a cookie when you vote on a post, then checks it when you try to vote again. Seems like every other refresh it stops seeing the cookie (even though its there) and lets you vote again. Would this be related?

          Could be, I had a plugin (I think it was a shopping cart one, I don’t remember now) that stopped the activity feed from showing up. Try disabling it and see if you still have the problem.

          More than likely that is the problem. Perhaps it is corrupting or wiping the WP login cookie?

        If I remember correctly when I had this issue it was just one of the plugins I had installed

        think it was group control …….

    I completely emptied everything out of the functions.php file and I’m still getting wsod. I have functions.php in the child theme, so I’m guessing something crazy is going on. I’ll keep poking at it. Really appreciate all the help!

    http://pastie.org/840691 – I’ve pasted my custom functions.php file. Let me ask you this. I’m reading the link you sent me to, is it saying keep the filename as ”functions.php” and make sure that there are no duplicate function names, or do not name it functions.php, name it ”customfunctions.php”? Thanks so much for the help!

          Hmmm… I have a custom function in mine that works, so maybe it’s the code? Also, make sure you didn’t copy over all the code in functions.php from the default bp theme. Just start with your custom function and make sure all the opening/closing tags (no misspells) are there, too.

              ah the lightbox. so you’d put that code in a file called functions.php. then, you’d add your functions.php into your child theme folder — it should be the only functions.php file in there. if it’s still not working, maybe that script’s conflicting with all the js in bp but not sure on that.

    So if I use this then 1. I won’t have to activate jquery manually for my ”extra” jquery plugins and 2. I shouldn’t have a conflict with current jquery javascript that breaks things like the avatar cropper?
