@hnla Is that updated for the “final” version in 1.8? So many changes in that ticket 🙂

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 4 months ago]

BuddyPress redirects away from this page on purpose. It shouldn’t redirect to the home page, however.

In wp-admin, in Settings > BuddyPress, on the “Pages” tab, what page have you got the “Register” component mapped to?

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 5 months ago]

You can probably set up a CNAME on your DNS to do this — best idea is to ask your host for assistance with this.

Unfortunately BuddyPress’ activity stream is pretty much a “write once, never update” thing right now.

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 5 months ago]

Activity component doesn’t support anonymous comments or behaviour; it wasn’t built with that in mind. Per Juan’s suggestion above, you could create a fake user account and write code to assign comments to that user, but… sounds hacky 🙂

If you’ve found a case where theme compatibility breaks stuff, please submit a bug report onto https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 6 months ago]

Nice. If you figure out a problem plugin, let us know or create a trac ticket on https://bbPress.trac.WordPress.org 🙂

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 6 months ago]

Are you using multisite and if so did you activate bbPress network wide?

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 6 months ago]

Not sure. Suggest looking on bbpress.org forums in case anyone else has posted similar.

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 6 months ago]

Hi,

Accounts on BuddyPress.org are linked to the WordPress.org database, and it’s not possible to delete these accounts. Best we can do is recommend you edit what details you can in your profile to something random, and just never log in again.

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 6 months ago]

For white screens of death, we always need to see the error message inside the PHP Error log. You might need to contact your host’s support and ask them to do this for you. Let us know what it says!

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 6 months ago]

Good luck! 🙂

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 6 months ago]

No, but I haven’t reached out to the author, either. Maybe you could 🙂

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 6 months ago]

Generally, use whatever size images you want. Any slowdown is unlikely to be caused by images.

For more advice or help investigating why you feel your site’s performance is slow, pop over to the WordPress.org forums as this isn’t a BuddyPress-specific question. Thanks!

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 6 months ago]

Cool ideas. Activity favourites (and favouriting/liking of BP content) is something that needs an overhaul, so you never know 🙂

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 6 months ago]

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2741 has some background

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 6 months ago]

You can just add the CSS you want to your theme’s style.css. Should be as easy as that!

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 6 months ago]

HTTP 500 errors means a problem occurred on the server.

Contact your host, and ask them to tell you what the errors are listed inside the server’s PHP error log. Once you have that, tell us what it says.

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 6 months ago]

@jamiethecomic The log in box was never a widget. It was part of the theme. Which is why there’s not a log in widget in 1.7 😉

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 6 months ago]

This topic originally came in to me via email, and the request was “how to include the password in the email”. Which is a bad bad idea.

In terms of email customisation, short of hardcoding some PHP filters yourself, you might be stuck for a ready solution at the moment. I think Welcome Pack is broken.

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 7 months ago]

From memory, if you have a multisite with many blogs, it’ll go through each one populate the activity table. I haven’t time to go through all the code at the moment to see what else might be happening.

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 7 months ago]

Interesting

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 7 months ago]

BuddyPress doesn’t do anything to the user table when the plugin is activated, so whatever the problem was or is, must not be related to any user table queries.

We create a bunch of new tables; if these took 15 seconds to execute, I would expect the queries would show up in your MySQL server’s slow query log.

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 7 months ago]

When does BP die? Can you walk us through exactly what you do?

Are you literally clicking “Activate plugin”, and the next page never loads?

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 7 months ago]

Do not create multiple topics.

No, restoring the database for this is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Your theme looks to be dependant on BP-Default, which WordPress is looking for in wp-content/themes/ (BP-D should never be there).

I am assuming that because BP-Default isn’t an available theme when BP is deactive (during an upgrade), it falls back to looking inside wp-content/themes/.

Go to wp-admin > Themes, pick TwentyTwelve. Then upgrade BuddyPress, then re-activate BuddyPress, then switch back to your original theme.
