I have no way of testing the validity of this at the moment, but:

Child Themes style.css

The simplest Theme possible is a child theme which includes only a style.css file, plus any images. This is possible because it is a child of another theme which acts as its parent.

To create such a Theme, you must specify a set of templates to inherit for use with the Theme by editing the Template: line in the style.css header comments. For example, if you wanted the Theme “Rose” to inherit the templates from another Theme called “test”, you would include Template: test in the comments at the beginning of Rose’s style.css. Now “test” is the parent Theme for “Rose”, which still consists only of a style.css file and the concomitant images, all located in the directory wp-content/themes/Rose. Additionally (as of WordPress 2.7), the child theme may contain template files, which can be selected in the admin panel as normal, and will override the parent’s template files where those possess the same name.

So, yes, by default, the register page only shows group 1 (the “base” group). You only retrieve one group via the profile_group_id= parameter in the bp_has_profile() call.

So, by default, this happens:

What I’m trying to accomplish is to hide groups 3 and 4 on the registration page not to overwhelm the user with a bunch of fields to fill out during sign-up, those fields can be filled out once the user has activated her/his account via “edit profile”.

There have been other threads on the forum regarding showing more than one profile group on the registration page; I found several, but take a look at https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/all-fields-for-registration. It’s probably going to be really difficult to implement unless you have a decent understanding of PHP.

Probably written for an old BP version.

Yay for magic!

For anyone else Googling this in the future, we do have a bug ticket about this issue — https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1970

Hmm. No, I don’t think that ought to break anything (capitals in email). I know you can’t really test, but if it was capital letters in the username or email address, you’d have the same problem on a regular WordPress install.

There’s been a few of these unusual picture URL paths going around lately on some installs. Not sure of definite fix. I am thinking it may be to do with Apache HTTPD installs using the cgi-bin method rather than loading the Apache extension directly, but I have no evidence or testing to prove this. Anyway.

Have a play with: Settings > Miscelleanous in your WP Admin. Try setting “Full URL path to files” to http://mdpp10.lifelinecoaches.com/wp-content/uploads/ and see if that makes a difference. Remember to turn off any page caching you have whilst testing.

Super, glad to hear it

That’s usually a AJAX link, which means your site is not loading the javascript. Look at the default theme’s functions.php where it loads ajax.php (I believe this is what you’re missing). If you’re not using a child theme, you’ll need to include this manually.

Well, the save button’s at the bottom of the middle column. Likewise, the group and member lists will iterate to a maximum of 10,000 times (it will list up to that many items) because people keep telling me they had thousands of users and that they needed more of them listed. That uses the regular BP loops so that might be causing your problem.

Dennis, take a look in line 126 of welcome-pack-admin.php – change the per_page=10000 to something like per_page=100 and we can quickly find out if this is the problem you’re having. FYI, the previous version went up to 1000. Perhaps adding a zero wasn’t the best idea to solve the problem for everyone :p

Again, all your errors refer to WordPress code.

Disable BuddyPress, switch to the default theme. If ALL of the standard WordPress functionality works, and an error comes back when you use BuddyPress, that’s because BuddyPress isn’t yet guaranteed to be fully compatible with WP 3. If you get an error with BuddyPress disabled, then it’s a WordPress error and you need to visit the wordpress.org forums.

If you’re using WordPress (not MU), then ensure you have selected custom permalink settings.

get_active_blog_for_user() is a WPMU function and includes/ms.php is a WordPress 3 file. Not sure whose to blame.

Right place, but there’s lots of people with questions here and only so many answers and time to answer them.

I’m assuming that you’re using BP Default theme on a blog which is not the main blog on a WPMU install?

Also, I believe that Andrea Rennick is working on a similar plugin called “Networks+”; interesting times are ahead for those who need this sort of thing.
