If you’re using a theme framework, there may be a hook you need to take advantage of. So yeah – talk to the theme author.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

“I haven’t been able to locate the information on my hosting site’s control panel.”

File a support ticket and ask them.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Use the custom menu option if the theme supports it. Otherwise, open up the theme files and hardcode the html in there to the various menu items.

If you are on a $5/month hosting account, pretty much anything you do will eventually be slow.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

It’s nothing you can fix from the admin of WordPress, as it’s completely server side.

Are you on a Winders server?
Can you ask your host about removing index.php from the permalinks?

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Tip: use Firefox and get the Firebug extension. It will show you all kinds of css magic and you can change things to see what happens without affecting the files themselves.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Hey, I just keep him well fed when he does this.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Whoa and here I was convinced they didn’t even use wordpress. hard to find in the source.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Our other site, wpebooks.com looks pretty simple & clean to me. We don’t use all the BP features and have private groups for support.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

As always, I am more interested in the support & documentation end of things. Anything that needs docs, ping me. When the forums get revamped, I’ll add it more regualr-like to my roster.

And any news that needs yelling from the rooftops – hey, I’m your gal.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

The only thing that matters is traffic. If your active users visit a lot, then yes – eventually you woudl need dedicated. Anything over a couple hundred I woudl use at *least* a VPS with 512megs of RAM. At the very least.

If I were dead serious, I would start on a dedicated box.

More news here guys:
http://wpmututorials.com/news/new-features/multiple-buddypress-social-networks/

Since Ron is the one behind getting this to work, keeping tabs on our WPmu tutes blog would be the place to ask first.

@ecomonkey – those directives are put in there when you enable the network to start. you remove them to help with multiple network. (that’s the “site” value. each site in the code is, in fact, a network)

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

No. It;s one email address = one account.

“as what happened with the ning to buddypress importer.”

Actually, I’d like to correct you on this as well. There’s a ning-to-buddypress importer plugin in the repo written by boone – one of the BP devs. I can most assuredly say he did not rip off the premium one and stuff it in the repo.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

The site in question is alreayd releasing “lite” version of their plugins in the repo. Quite a number of them at this point.

You’re waiting for them to “come around”. They will not. Their pricing model makes them enough money to have kept at it now for four years.

What you’re doing, however well-intended, sets a precedence that makes it seem okay for people to do this to anyone. Like myself, for example. Yes, I sell plugins as well. While technically you could do the same to me, it would not endear me towards helping you. Ever.

Paul is pointing out that rather than helping people in this forum with their buddypress issues, you’re basically advertising for paid services. THAT is the problem.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

Your site says straight from the source, but you are not the author of any of the plugins.

makes it look more like you want in on the action too.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

And you know that even network activated, all users have their BP profile on the main site?

BuddyPress is network-wide, not blog specific.

“One way you can prevent BP in main site or secondary site from importing data from all sites is by marking e.g. My Blog in Settings > Permalnks – “I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors” or even choose additional options with https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/more-privacy-options/”

Which blocks search engines as well. Better off to mark the blog as mature instead.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

It’s the same steps.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

I may have found someone.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

make sure you allow registration in the wordPress settings in the admin area.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

I think lselwd is getting confused at some of my replies where I stated setting up multisite gives you your own *version* of wordpress.com. It works like that, but it not it.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

“I’d been under the assumption that a multisite install actually replicated entire WP installs in different locations, so I was a little stumped –”

the blog are virtual. A fact I keep repeating…

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

He’s been all over the wp.org forums already…..

Not a bug, just a different UI/process.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

“Still, the home page loads beautifully, yet every link in the site (buddypress link or blog post link) leads to 404. “

This means your htaccess file isn’t even being read. So it matters little what’s actually *in* it. Cuz it’s not even getting that far.

BP requires pretty permalinks to work. If they aren’t working, no BP.

You have to fix the Apache config. AllowOverride FileInfo Options usually does it.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

“I saw that when I just used “/registration”, the page didn’t show when i was signed in “

because if you are signed in, they you are already registered and there’s no need to RE-register.
