Problems with getting it running.

Can’t access wordpress admin panel after BP installation (11 posts)

    Hello.

    I can’t access my Wordpress 3.3.1 admin panel after BP installation.
    When I enter my username and password I’m redirected to the website homepage.
    I am able to access my WP admin panel by renaming the BuddyPress plugin folder via FTP.
    I can then return the BP folder to its original name, reactivate the plugin, and it appears to be working, but when I log out of the WP admin, I can’t log back in.

    I’ve uninstalled BuddyPress, and re-installed (the ‘Installation Wizard’ disappeared when I re-installed), but then I can’t login again.

    Anyone have any ideas??

    If you’re on BP 1.5.3, upgrade to BP 1.5.3.1 via FTP/cpanel/etc if you cannot access wp-admin.

    If you’re already on BP 1.5.3.1, what other plugins have you activated?

    Deactivate the genesis plugins, change theme to Twenty Eleven, then activate BuddyPress, and change theme to bp-default theme. And if everything’s working well, activate your new theme (genesis i presume) and the other genesis plugins.

    Hi Mercime.

    Genesis is the theme I’ve had running for six months since I first launched kairoscanada.org.
    I’ll check in at StudioPress (who make Genesis) re. problems installing BuddyPress.
    They’ve been good in providing support.
    Will let forum know if they have any answers.

    Thanks for the tips.

    I thought that this was likely the answer:

    http://www.studiopress.com/plugins/genesis-connect

    Special plugin from StudioPress ($50) to run with BuddyPress if you’re running the Genesis Framework.

    Still have the same problem.
    Have posted prob to StudioPress forum and they are currently responding.

    OK.
    I have it running.

    I had to enable ‘Show adminbar on the homepage’ in GenesisConnect Settings.
    This displayed the BuddyPress admin bar at the top of my homepage where I was being redirected on logging in. *Then* I was able to use the BuddyPress admin bar to log in to WordPress.

    This was very confusing.

    I kept expecting to go straight to the old WordPress admin area after logging in.

    Hello.

    I seem to be back to squar one this morning.

    When I login to WordPress I am taken to my website’s homepage with the BuddyPress toolbar at the top.
    When I click on ‘Dashboard’ i get a completely blank page at http://www.kairoscanada.org/wp-admin/.

    Not good.

    I can’t access my admin at all.

    Did you install any other plugin after you resolved the issues with genesis ? Just to be sure, try to deactivate your plugins folder via FTP/cpanel by renaming the folder to e.g. wp-content/plugins-xxx

    Rename the folder back to wp-content/plugins after you access wp-admin.

    Hi.

    Resolved the problem.

    Wasn’t enough memory assigned in my php.ini.
    My host doubled it to 128 mb.

    That took a long time to figure out….

    Glad your hosting plan resolved this for you. Curious how many members, groups, posts etc you already have because that’s a lot of memory for a new installation.
