Haven’t run into this but are you using the latest trunk, what version of WPMU are you using, did you make any changes to the theme? Again, I haven’t encountered this but the more details you can provide the easier it’ll be to find a solution.
I’m with Media Temple on the base DV with BuddyPress and its great, plus it easily scales up when your site grows (I currently fluctuate between two plans depending on traffic). MT has all the requirements for BuddyPress and a lot more. I’ve been with them for almost two years, so if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask.
https://buddypress.org/forums/search.php is the correct link for the forum search function. Why it isn’t linked on the forum or in the sidebar I don’t know but that’s where you can access it at.
Yep, open wp-login.php in a text editor and find “$redirect_to = admin_url();” and replace it with “$redirect_to = ‘/’;” then upload it to your server and you should be set.
Did you manually approve the comment? I’ve encountered a bug where BuddyPress says I’ve published a post and/or when really I’ve only approved one from another author.
I’d file a ticket on trac.buddypress.org as this is something I’ve also run into.
Yes, users can create posts on the main site as long as they’re a contributor or higher. If you’d like to manually approve the posts make the default role contributor or if you’d like them to be able to post on their own make them an author.
TO resolve this all you should have to do is create a copy of your index.php file, rename it home.php, and upload it to your theme folder and it should work.
I had the same issue when upgrading last night. I think BuddyPress requires there to be a home.php file and once you do what I outlined above everything should be normal.
I’m guessing that line in the FAQ is out of date. I’m currently using it fine on 2.6.2 and will report any problems when I upgrade to 2.6.3, but I as long as you stay in the 2.6.X line you should be okay.
Yep, I’ve successfully integrated the users, but couldn’t get the simultaneous login to work but that’s very minor. I’m going to do some tweaks to bbPress to redirect to their BuddyPress profile so users don’t have two profiles to maintain but it’s prett straight forward.
I’ve integrated bbPress with WPMU to share user logins (couldn’t get cookies to work unfortunately) and was preparing to launch them both this week. Should I hold off on launching bbPress until you’ve integrated it more fully, or would I be okay using the system as I have it now and simply adding the BuddyPress forum functionality down the road.
Still not really clear on what’s not working correctly, though that blog you linked to has a different theme than the rest of the site. Is that what you were trying to do?
No problem, glad it was something easy to fix. Also, once your homebase is created you can change the registration back to users only and it should be fine if you only want users to get profiles and not blogs.
I downloaded Opera but can’t seem to replicate the problems, though I did customize the logo as I outlined here. Might be worth trying that out to see if it solves the issues.
I am not sure I fully understand what you’re asking, but the BuddyPress theme is a great starting point. Users can still choose their own theme (provided you’ve installed and enabled them). On Testbp.org the user profiles use the BuddyPress theme while the blogs use the default WordPress theme.
The BuddyPress theme can also be deconstructed so you can integrate the features you want into a theme of your own to further customize your community’s look and functionality.
Is full registration (users+blogs) enabled under Site Admin/Options? “Enabled. Blogs and user accounts can be created.” should be selected on that page. I believe this was the error I received when I tried to create a home base and full registration wasn’t enabled.
Also, is this a clean install of 2.6.2 and what version of the BuddyPress plugins are you using so we can help you out if the above issue isn’t the problem.
Glad you found and shared a temporary workaround. This was also brought up in another topic recently, and Andy said “In the first version for the end of the year, BuddyPress will only support open networks. However, the plan is to put together a generic privacy component which can be used by all components to restrict and allow customizable privacy levels.”.
Privacy isn’t built in yet but it will be soon enough.
Did you install them in /mu-plugins/ or just /plugins/?
Plugins installed in /mu-plugins/, such as BuddyPress, will not show up on the plugins page as plugins in this folder are automatically activated across the entire WPMU install.
On the other hand, if plugins are only needed on a blog-by-blog basis they are to be installed in the regular /plugins/ directory and will be shown on the plugins page just as in regular wordpress.
The BuddyPress plugins are supposed to be installed in /mu-plugins/ per step 3 of the instructions.
