@ franklg2010

In case you haven’t discovered the documentation section (I hadn’t), there’s a great how to guide on building child themes:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

[Dworldon]

@ stwc: Thanks for the advice about child themes. Sound pretty easy…

I definately don’t think the system is flawed, far from it. Can just be a challenge when think you’ve got something, then it changes (but no complaints!!)

More so asked the question to help understand why the change was made.

Big thanks to everyone that takes the time to help out those that need it!!

Is there an easier way than creating a child theme??

I’m a code amateur and am not sure how to create a child theme…

In previous versions of BP, you could just copy over the ‘social network logo’ file and hey-presto, the ‘custom’ logo would be on the live site.

Why has this changed in BP 1.1.2?

[Dworldon]

Hi guys

Thanks for the tips and advice – I blew it all away and did a fresh install…

BP1.0.3 seems to be working fine now (touch wood)!!

[Dworldon]

r-a-y

Thanks for the reply

When browsing in my File Manager, I can locate lhe loader.php file. It’s location is:

/public_html/wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/css/loader.php

When I copied ‘bp-themes’ folder across from the ‘buddypress’ folder to the ‘wp-contnet’ folder, I simply copied the whole ‘bp-themes’ folder. I assume this will bring all the sub-folders with it??

[Dworldon]

Also, as per install instructions, I moved:

– “bp-themes” to /wp-content/bp-themes/

and

– “bphome” to /wp-content/themes/bphome/

Sorry, details are:

1. Which version of WPMU are you running?

2.8.4

2. Did you install WPMU as a directory or subdomain install?

Directory

3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?

root

4. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU? If so, from which version?

Yes, 2.8.1

5. Was WPMU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress?

Yes

6. Which version of BuddyPress (BP) are you running?

1.0.3

7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?

Yes, 1.0.1.

However, I could not get the auto upgrade function to work through the WPMU plugins browser, so I manually deleted all the BP1.0.1 and installed BP1.0.3.

BP1.0.1 was working correctly before installing BP1.0.3.

8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated?

No

9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes?

Standard

10. Have you modified the core files in any way?

No

11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php?

No

12. If running bbPress, which version?

Not running

13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files.

Error log is empty.

Hi Jeff and thanks for your reply.

Yes, I finished the WPMU upgrade by pressing the “Upgrade Site” button – it gave me the “All done” message when it completed.

I still do not have the “upgrade automatically” link.

I recall reading another post earlier where I think Andy said something about pinging the server to get the upgrade (sorry can’t track the post down and I have very sketchy memory on this one). Does that mean anything???

Hi all

I also have a htaccess.dist file that reads (it doesn’t have the first two lines that refer to .php)

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase BASE/

#uploaded files

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule . – [L]

RewriteRule . index.php [L]

<IfModule mod_security.c>

Sorry for all the long code posts – this doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, hopefully it does to you!!)

I read through https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2664&replies=19#post-14700 and noticed something…

The first two lines in my .htaccess file is different to that explained in the post. Also, the “RewriteBase /” is missing the “wp/” at the end. I’m hesitant to delete the file like Codyb did unless you guys think it’s OK to do.

My .htaccess reads:

AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

#uploaded files

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule . – [L]

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]

RewriteRule . index.php [L]

#<IfModule mod_security.c>

#SecFilterEngine Off

I found the error logs section and the only entries are the following:

[Wed May 13 03:49:22 2009] [error] [client 66.249.71.46] SoftException in Application.cpp:544: Directory “/home/bucksboa/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress” is writeable by group

[Wed May 13 03:49:18 2009] [error] [client 66.249.71.46] SoftException in Application.cpp:544: Directory “/home/bucksboa/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress” is writeable by group

Doesn’t mean much to me. Sorry, I’m a novice… but on a steep learning curve!!

[Dworldon]

Sorry, still new to BuddyPress forums…

WPMU 2.71

BP 1.0

No custom themes

No 3rd party plugins

Not sure how to find errors in log files…

[Dworldon]

I have this same problem. Anyone have a fix/solution?

http://bucksboardroom.com/members

The Members menu item defaults to a blank member profile, rather than the member directory.

Strange thing is it was working as normal last night, but not today.

The only thing I have changed in that time is the permissions on /blogs.dir to 777 (from 755) to enable avatars and images to uplod.

[Dworldon]

Thanks Jeff – once again you save the day!

[Dworldon]

I also get this error when uploading an image:

Unable to create directory /home/bucksboa/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files//2009/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

[Dworldon]

Thanks Jeff.

Going to “BuddyPress > General Settings”, re-selecting the member theme, and then hitting save worked!

Really appreciate your help.

[Dworldon]

Also have the error message when I click on “Blogs” (but not “Blog”)

[Dworldon]

I have the same problem.

The error message come up when I click on “Members” and “Groups”.
