Oh, my god, now after reinstalling BP, my entire mingle theme is messed up!!!!!!!!! it’s as if it can’t find css files or something, what would do this???? BP has nothing to do with my theme!

I can’t believe this!

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

I tried completely deleting all BP plugins, including BP itself as well as all tables in the DB with wp_bp in it as directed on the BP site. I then reinstalled BP through the WP plugins Add New area again. It didn’t ask me to go through the installation wizard again, and when I went to the settings, most of my settings were already there and the pages were already connected. This didn’t seem right to me, especially since I had cleared out all the BP tables and cache files as well.

And sure enough, when trying to register and account or do anything else, same problem. *sigh* Except for now (after changing my .htaccess file to what you gave me, it just redirects me to the home page after registration, instead of reloading the same page, but the user still is not actually added to the site when checking the users.

I’m really going crazy here, I’ve tried absolutely everything, what can I do???

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

Hmmm.. you know what, I did install a caching plugin and then uninstall it, i wonder if its leftover caches in the database or something?

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

Yep, I’ve checked plugins, theme, and permalinks off my list. So there is my htaccess just in case you see something there, but again, it just started doing this, so I doubt its that either.

I’m deleting everything to do with BP, deleting wp_bp tables and re-installing BP.

Yes Sir, several times, does the same exact thing, but it’s not just the register page, it also happens when you try to modify anything (update profile, create group, etc)

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

Ok, yep, and so what could be doing this? It’s not the theme, it’s not the plugins, and it just started doing this out of the blue… what on earth? Why can’t I modify BP data in any way?

Am I left with trying to re-install?

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

UPDATE: I’ve already confirmed that users can’t sign up and no data can be input into BP at all. I just surprises me that no one has run across this before. Doesn’t it seem like a permissions thing?? What could be blocking data from being submitted and then reloading the same form pages again?

Could you link that thread? Thanks!

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

I just switched the theme! *sigh* thats why.. I am using mingle theme now, please please can you see if you can register now? I would like to know if it’s just me. Other’s are able to see the page remotely so that part is on your end. But can you please use Firefox (since you said that worked) and see if you can register?

I would be forever grateful.

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

Maybe a little background will help… originally, I was not able to delete a group, most likely due to the same issue, since it required data submission (which BP seems to be blocking) and so I went into the database and simply deleted the few records in the following tables:

wp_18_bp_groups
wp_18_bp_groups_groupmeta
wp_18_bp_groups_members

But I was told this was fine and didn’t affect anything in BP. Doesn’t seem like this would be it though since I wasn’t able to delete the group before using the BP Delete group form.

BuddyPress is just not accepting any data input at all. It’s as if it’s being blocked and the same page just reloads every time you do anything, create a group, delete a group, register, edit profile… nothing can be submitted at all.

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

Ok, that is weird, well one thing at a time I suppose, in firefox can you register an account on that page? I’m afraid that if I try to re-install BuddyPress it’s just going to do the same thing.

Can you register an account in Firefox?? And what would cause all BP submission forms to reload the same page after clicking the button?

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

UPDATE: ok just made sure all trashes were emptied and re-saved permalinks again. No luck.

What could be causing this?

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

Yes, I had to re-create the pages for this new site, but I deleted the trash, I will try resaving permalinks, thanks…. get back to you.

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

I may have been trying something, here is the link and its now on the default buddypress theme with plugins disabled:

http://dreamsfirst.net/register/

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

No, I already tried changing theme to twenty eleven and disabling all plugins, which means it can’t be the theme or the plugins. Also, it’s NOT a registration problem per say because every BuddyPress page which submits info is doing this, for example, the Add Group page does the same thing if I try adding a group… after adding title and group description, the same page just reloads and the group is not added.

And this happens with no plugins and default BP theme.

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

Also, I have made sure that “User Accounts May Be Registered” is checked.

UPDATE: I just found out that BuddyPress does this same exact thing whenever any action for input submission takes place. For example, I just tried creating a new group (with my existing super admin user) and after entering the title and group description, I hit the button and it just reloaded the same page once again. I don’t have any caching plugins installed, besides, I already tried deactivating all plugins. What in the world?

*pulls hair out*

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

It even does it with the default BP theme and all plugins disabled. This is really bad, I really really really need help, please someone help me, my client will be upset if his site is not ready by deadline.

UPDATE: it is not uppercase letters issue, either, made sure of that.

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

I just hope deleting groups won’t be an issue in the future.

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

Sigh… never mind, thank god for the database. Always a life saver.

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

Never mind, I figured out how to do this correctly. For anyone else that finds this thread and is interested here ya go (everything laid out):

Full Instructions:

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

Plugins:

Install Networks+ or WP Multi Network

http://wpebooks.com/networks/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-multi-network/

Then install BP Multi Network – Upload bp-multi-network.php to /wp-content/mu-plugins

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-multi-network/

Threads:

http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/buddypress-on-all-blogs#post-160736

———————-
Steps:

• Create your second WP network with Networks+ / WP Multi Network
• Activate BP on the sub network and go through the installation wizard
• For forums you need to tweak your bb-config.php a bit (this only applies to those using the BP Group Forums option)

*Also, the answer to my original question is no you don’t need:

define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );

…unless you want to show the SAME BP profiles on EVERY SINGLE BLOG.

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

OK, there is a plugin called Network+ that actually allows you to have multiple multisite networks within the main multisite network. Each of these sub networks could have its own BuddyPress network on it, essentially creating multiple BuddyPress social networks.

There is some configuration needed to a certain file plus the plugin setup and install and it seems just a tad complicated (although by the look of it, I could certainly manage it and I will try this if all else fails).

But my other question was, would another method of achieving what I want be to simply keep the one BuddyPress social network (without the above nested sub-network solution) and then somehow hide certain BuddyPress groups on my sub-blogs so that only the people who signed up through that particular blog would only see the groups I wanted them to see for that particular blog.

Does that make sense?

In other words, let’s say I have my main root site A with BP installed. I also have sub-site B and sub-site C, which obviously share the same BP network as site A. I then create three BP groups associated with my sites called group A, group B, and group C. Now normally, regardless of whether a user signed up through site A, B, or C, they would all see groups A, B, and C on their groups page after logging in.

But what if there was a way to simply hide them? For example, if user John Smith had originally signed up through site B, then John Smith would only see group B on his groups page (because I hid groups A and C from him).

Is this possible? Granted, it’s not a true separation, but if no one is never presented with a link to “cross over” to another site’s group, then would that method work?

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

Never mind, I just edited the buddypress.css directly, not big deal. Thanks.

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

Mingle theme. I realized (like an idiot) that buddypress.css is provided by Mingle (obviously) so anyway, how can I override the css specifically for the top admin bar? I have added the WP admin bar back in but buddypress.css is still forcing another 30px space under the WP admin bar. So it looks now like I have two bars:

http://test.btdevs.com/

I tried this to no avail:

body bp-adminbar {padding-top: none !important

[@coreymj78 Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

Yeah I know. I found this same solution last night (stayed up till 2am). Is there another method of separating the member areas? Or simply use your own links and so on to make sure that people can’t “slip over” to the other blog’s member area?

Thanks.
