Did you read the error logs?

[@andrea_r Participant 16 years, 8 months ago]

A plugin of some sort, a stray trailing slash filled in by you…

[@andrea_r Participant 16 years, 8 months ago]

If you install BP on your main domain, you’ll get by default yoursite.com/members/ for things like the members page.

Poke around testbp.org & see how it’s laid out.

[@andrea_r Participant 16 years, 8 months ago]

See the extra slash it;s utting in the URL? That’s your problem.

[@andrea_r Participant 16 years, 8 months ago]

No, I mean the theme will be updated to work with BP 1.2. You won’t have to mod any files.

We’re planning on getting to it this weekend.

[@andrea_r Participant 16 years, 8 months ago]

Yes, it does. The groups & forums use bbpress. The MU part only manages additional blogs.

[@andrea_r Participant 16 years, 8 months ago]

did you make sure you had the matching amount of closing divs?

Do you have a link to code where I can see (don’t paste it in the forum please, it’s too hard to read)

And to reiterate – don’t change your page.php template. Change the BP ones.

“When someone wants to create a blog the url he gets is http://hisblog/mydomain.com/mywpbp, which of course won’t work. Any solution? “

You didn’t install MU correctly and make sure it was working first.

But really, if you just wanted the main blog, then install regualr WordPress with BuddyPress.

[@andrea_r Participant 16 years, 8 months ago]

At the top of your page.php file ;

<?php get_header(); ?>



<div id="content">



<div id="contentleft">



<div class="postarea">

And at the top of the BP page:

<?php get_header() ?>



<div id="container">

<div id="content">

See the difference? Now make the BP templates have the same divs as your page.php.

Go to the Site Admin menu -> Themes and disable them there.

It does not deactivate the themes, it removes them from the Appearances tab.

“In WP v3.0, WordPress MU will be merged with the single WP installation and there will be a migration path.”

Unless you are merging together more than one standalone WP install into one multisite network, in 3.0 there will be no need to migrate anything to turn on multiple blogs (ie; multiple sites).

[@andrea_r Participant 16 years, 8 months ago]

@Scotm that codex page no longer gives details on tweaking the files, it just points to the plugin.

@maxell – when you set up the plugin it had instructions on page 3. You have to take the extra folders & files that are added to your theme, and make the divs & html match up to your original wp theme.

“As there were no sensible options for allowing users to signup but not take blog until a member “

There’s a plugin for that:

Jim Groom as well.

Because you can’t sign up directly to a member blog in MU, you must sign up on the main site first.

[@andrea_r Participant 16 years, 8 months ago]

Users > Add Users is for adding exisitng or new users to that blog.

Site Admin > Users is for adding users to the entire site, to the whole system.

If you want to really delete a user, do it from Site Admin -> Users.

[@andrea_r Participant 16 years, 8 months ago]

If you’re using MU, the best thing to do is go check and see if I wrote a tutorial on it already.

Getting member blog posts on the main page

“1. Do these blogs share the identities of users, or do you have to register for each one separately?”

The userbase is shared. This is the part BP inherits from MU.

2. Disable how? Either BP is set to run sitewide (and show admin bar everywhere with the profiles in one spot) or it;s set on one blog, thus not appearing on other blogs.

3. short of writing a book, I’m not sure what else can be added.

angeljs – make sure mod_rewrite is working on your server and is reading the pretty permalinks in your install.

[@andrea_r Participant 16 years, 8 months ago]

The profiles are the buddypress parts.

[@andrea_r Participant 16 years, 8 months ago]

If you can hang on a bit, the theme will be updated for 1.2 soon.

[@andrea_r Participant 16 years, 8 months ago]

black page = errors. There’s an error in your functions.php somewhere, I’d say.

If you;re making a *child* theme, and you place a copy of the original theme’s functions’ file in your child theme, it WILL white-out your site. Because the child is *already* pulling the functions file.

putting it in there is like putting it in there twice. hence the error. If you find your server error logs, I’m sure they’ll say “can’t redeclare and other duplicate function notices.

[@andrea_r Participant 16 years, 8 months ago]

Looks right to me. You got the whole “do this on the SECONDARY blog” part in there.

“Many spammer IP addresses resolve to the country of Afghanistan. “

Ban their IPs at the server level. Less work for you, less processing for the system.

What version of WPMU are you both on?
