  • Hi, I don’t know if this is the way BP is supposed to work, or if I’ve not set it up right. I’m running WP 3.0.1 with BP 1.2.5.2, and I created a network with sub-directories. Whenever a new user registers on the site, they are given subscriber status to the main site (MMQG). If [...]

  • No no no, that’s fabulous, many thanks @hnla! I understand the logic of it all now. I’ll get to work on setting all that up now, and see how I go.

  • when you say “if you are using a child theme” do you mean do I have cp-twentyten as the current theme in admin/appearance/themes? No, I don’t. I have the current theme BuddyPress Default 1.2.5.2, and I have the child theme uploaded to wp-content/themes/

  • I have actuvate the Welcome Pack plugin now, and I still see the rows or Warnings in the boxes next to Invite the new user to become friends with these people: and Ask the new user if they’d like to join these groups: It says: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach () in /home/goldber3/public_html/MMQG/(etc – [...]

  • Yep, now I could create a new blog with no error messages. So maybe that was the whoe deal. Maybe that events calenda and it’s partner Eventbrite plugin were the problem. I’m going to now reactivate the Welcome Pack plugin and see what happens.

    # 1 month, 1 week ago
  • I think I may have found the culprit plugins. I set up a new account, and then went in to set up a new blog. All went OK till the final step, and then I got an error message to do with the Eventbrite plugin, so I disabled it, and tried again. This time I [...]

  • OK, just got confirmation that my site will read .htaccess files.

    # 1 month, 1 week ago
  • Although should I disable the privacy plugins too? And a question I have about activating plugins… I’m not sure if I should be clicking on the “activate” option or the “network activate” option when I install new plugins.

    # 1 month, 1 week ago
  • ok I’ll do that again Paul. maybe i missed something.

    # 1 month, 1 week ago
  • @hnla yes I have it set up that way – users to register and create new blogs

    @djpaul oh, how do I check that? I’ve emailed to ask my host server. I’m with Super Green Hosting, do you know it?

    @hnla Hi,
    I don’t know if this is appropriate to ask, or if you’re the right person to ask, but you seem to know what you’re doing with BP, and I’m at the end of my tether. Is there any chance you’d be willing to help me get my site fixed up properly? I mean, like I’d give you the top access to my site, and you could go on there and together we could fix it up? I have new members joining up every day, and I’m getting more and more frustrated because I can’t just handle one thing at a time. I think the whole thing’s messed up at a fundamental level, so unless that’s all fixed, anything else I do is just rubbish. And I really, really, really don’t know what I’m doing here. I’ve set up other sites in the past, shopping cart sites, etc, as well as my own blog, but I am not a techo at all, I can’t write a single line of code, and so this is just all so new to me, and I am completely out of my depth.
    Is there any chance that you could do this with me, or if not, do yu know anyone who can? I can pay a little, this is all a community group with no paying members at all. I am the president, I started this whole group on Ning, and now we’ve had to move because they’re charging and I feel so bad that I’m messing this new site up so badly, right from the beginning.
    Please let me know if you can help me like that. If not, I think I’m just going to through the towel in and go to something that’s already set up, like webs.com or something. This is taking more of my time – like every waking minute, and I can’t keep doing it. If I get it set up right, I reckon I’ll be fine maintaining it, but this is just too hard for me.
    Thanks for reading my long post here.
    Helene

  • yes I did follow all the steps exactly, and I added the lines to .htcaccess and wp-config. I just checked my .htcaccess and it looks like this: # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index.php$ – # uploaded files RewriteRule ^(+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin RewriteRule ^(+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} [...]

  • Now, I’ve just upgraded to WP 3.0.1, and updated the network too. I wonder if I should at this point install the Twenty Ten 1.1 theme as the main theme, given that TwentyTen CP is in use too. What do you think? That might handle my header image issue, and perhaps make things run more [...]

    # 1 month, 1 week ago
  • @Modemlooper so if I’ve installed the TwentyTen child theme, should I also have that as the main theme? I currently have the Default BP theme as my main theme, and the TwentyTen as child. Is that not workable? Or do you mean that I need to create a new child theme based on the Default theme [...]

    # 1 month, 1 week ago
  • So if it will delete all the files during an update, then what’s the point of customizing? I don’t understand that. And won’t the same thing happen then when I customize the child theme and later apply the update to it?

  • I am using WP 3.0.1 and BP 1.2.5.2 I am definitely sure that others can see my admin, and not just some parts of it. One fo the other users and I were trying to sort this out, and she coudl see exactly what I see. She actually accessed my admin where she could see [...]

  • I’ve just opened up my site to user registration and site creation. All’s going well but I have two problems now: 1. Initially when I was testing the site with some of my friends, they would have to wait for an email with a link to click on saying that their application for an account [...]
