BuddyPress

Hi.

I have BuddyPress activated in Network Admin, and its clearly working on the Site when I load it, but I can’t see any settings for BuddyPress. They aren’t in Site Admin, nor Network admin.

What am I doing wrong?

In Wordpress 3.2.1 as a Network admin you should find it at the left menu second item from the top ‘BuddyPress’.

Upper right hand corner of dashboard, you’ll find the link to network admin in dropdown. http://wpmu.org/wordpress-3-2-bring-back-your-network-admin-link-with-our-free-plugin/

I try to do this with 1.5 beta 3 but it doesn’t seem to work.
any tips?

@dosch what exactly are you trying to do? Go multisite or install BuddyPress in multisite installation?

I have a multi-site with 6 sites. One of those should be the social-site. And I’d like to try to get buddypress on there. But it doesn’t want to install beta3.

I first get this error:
"The plugin does not have a valid header."
But that is because I have to get the ’1.5-beta-3′-folder out of the ‘tags’ folder.

But after I have done that and want to activate the plugin, I get this error:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Warning: require(/domains/nul.nu/DEFAULT/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-wpabstraction.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /domains/nul.nu/DEFAULT/wp-content/plugins/1.5-beta-3/bp-loader.php on line 68

Oh well, maybe I should hang in there just a few more days to wait for the final release…

Hey!
I managed to get Byddypress1.5 working for me. It is pretty sweet. Only óne thing still bugs me with Buddypress: I can only ‘network-enable’ the plugin. This means I can only configure it from the admin-network dashboard, and not from the dashboard of the site I actually want to have it running on.
Can I do something about this?
Thnx!

I’m with @dosch – setting it up on an IIS7 Server with Wordpress 3.2.1 network (subdirectories) and I assume it will only work on the root blog, since when I tied in the functions to pages it kept taking me to that blog to create the pages. But I only see the Buddypress menu (not at the top, but at the bottom now) when I’m logged in as the network admin.

Set which blog ID BuddyPress will run on in multisite:
define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', $blog_id );
Replace $blog_id with iD # of site e.g. 4

Hi all
Some months back I made my WP blog theme (anIMass) BP compatible and have been waiting for the day to start using and testing the features. Well that day is today!
I want to start by enabling the forum feature for my blog except I cannot see yet (in admin page/WP dashboard) how to set it up!
I am most grateful for help & advice & meanwhile I will keep searching on Google for more info on this.

I look forward to helpful replies-many thanks

Latest update:
My WP blog seemed to want me to install bbplugin2.0 so I have done (it was a couple of months ago I made my theme BP compatible and I have forgotten exactly where I had got to & what I had to do next!).
Then I enabled site wide forum option.
Now I see all sorts of menus in the dashboard for BP and I tried to create a new forum-unfortunately this only displays a blank/empty browser!

@richardpd
- What version of BP were you trying to activate in your installation? If you installed/upgraded to BP 1.5.1, did you go through the “Installation Wizard”
- How did you make your WP theme BP-compatible – via BP Template Pack plugin or other method?
- Are you on single WP or WP Multisite?
- I see that you have your Group Forums on as well http://richard-dickinson.com/forums/
- For the Sitewide Forums, did you add new forum in wp-admin > Forums > New Forum at least once?

Hi mercime
Thanks for replying.
I have the latest BuddyPress installed-it activated alright from my dashboard (BP1.5.1).
I had to hand code some of my theme to make it BP compatible (you helped me).
I am running WP multisite
Re sitewide forums I have only tried adding one forum.

Why is my forum at

http://richard-dickinson.com/forums/forum/rhdwponlinetwist_forum-4-netnewbies/

not showing?

Most grateful for your further help-many thanks
