On a broader note. If anyone wonders why such diverse posts end up in the Installing Buddypress group, it is because this is the most used group not because it is what the posts are about. With a list of more than eighty pages of groups and no group search facility it is unrealistic to expect people to search for appropriate groups.

The Forums tab in the Account view appears to be redundant. It is the same on this site, the Forums tab displays nothing. Why is this and what should it be doing?

If anyone fancies a real challenge, what I should like to do is make a conditional that says:
If anyone does not have their own avatar, and if they do not have a gravatar, use this image.
Reason being, the […]

This would be truly useful if it activated from the front end. The process from the back end, requiring the network user admin to be open, then the front end restore user, which drops you back not to the network but the site user admin is little quicker, if you have the password, from manual switching.
If everything operated from the admin bar it…[Read more]

Briefly, a fresh site and bp install, compatible theme,

guileshill replied to the forum topic Fresh install of 1.5 – Where is registration security? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting 13 years, 2 months ago

What I really need, quite obviously, is a personal pluggin, an additional memory module, a couple of logic enhancers and perhaps an oversight widget.
Thank you.

Now that we only get to add fields and groups to the default form layout, and can’t see that any more (which is what I am getting in the control panel) what has happened to the controls for the choice between […]

guileshill replied to the forum topic Cannot Create new Groups in the group How-To and Troubleshooting 13 years, 3 months ago

Yes, but I would expect to see it also as an option from the other menu or header bar, so will users I suspect. Is that not right? If this is the only way to get to that function it seems a very fragmented […]

I don’t mean to hijack this conversation and of course will start a new thread if preferred but I have exactly the same issue. Logging in as admin or as user makes no difference. The install is the latest version […]

Not sure there’s much of a gap between their shared servers and vps though. They seem to have found a way to open things up pretty wide on a shared basis. Obviously by taking the limits off in terms of bandwidth, storage and domains they are hoping to get people building big farms, knowing that […]

I hesitated for exactly that reason, for several months, to go searching and looking for conflicting stories. Found none. They seem to have a similarly liberal approach to processor cycles, which would fit, and only deal with problems by discussion on a case by case basis. So far enormously impressed. In fact the only thing […]

OK Heart living up to their rep. Responded to ticket in a few minutes. Just in case this helps anyone else. An addition memory command was necessary in the .htaccess file to increase the apache server memory limit.

Just added this to that file and all is fine.

RLimitMem 128000000

Just moving all my sites over to http://www.heartinternet.co.uk. So far they are little short of amazing and as far as I know allow all sorts of changes to php handing and recommend doing so. There are no limits set on anything much, which was why I chose them. I’ll raise a ticket with them just […]

Well, my first toe-dipping into buddy press on a relatively simple multisite install. Still getting out of memory errors on activation but… I have memory set to 125M in a php.ini file and this line in wp-settings.php define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘125M’); (backticks are a great idea, but not on a mac keyboard) But with a fresh launch and […]
