It isn’t quite ready yet. You can follow the development progress on the GitHub repo:

@mcpeanut I just got around to buying the dedicated AMD. One thing to watch out for, the price quoted on their splash page is for a 24 mo contract. I found myself paying an extra £10 a month for a rolling monthly contract. Their SSL cert costs extra too. I’ll report back on performance one I have it set up and running

That’ll output the member’s ID. Be interested to see if that throws a fatal error

bp_get_loggedin_user_fullname() is a function defined in bp-members/bp-members-template.php – are you sure you have BuddyPress installed?

There is actually a Trac ticket open for this. Just came across it:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3460

Take a look at the BuddyPress template hierarchy article:

Template Hierarchy

That should give you a good idea how to set up templates for the various areas of BP.

The emails are sent but not received

Could your domain be blacklisted? You might have to approach the various hosts you’re having problems with to make sure you’re on their whitelist.

@aaclayton have you tried contacting your host? You need to verify if these emails are actually being sent by your mail server. If they are being sent and received, then the problem could be with the actual activation link.

Have you tried disabling all of your plugins? I realise the site is live so that might not be possible.

The beta version will need testing so I’d advise to either install 1.9.2 or wait for the full release of 2.0 (not the beta). Unless you’d like to help test of course 🙂

The Intel Xeon looks really good actually. I think I might start off with the AMD, see how that fairs then if I need more i’ll upgrade to the Xeon. You’re right, the spec on these is good for the price. I was expecting to pay more for a dedicated which is probably why I’ve never looked into getting one before. I like their managed option too – in…[Read more]

@mcpeanut have you used 1&1’s dedicated server yet? I have actually been thinking of upgrading recently. The VPS is good but I think I need to ‘up my game a little’ and go for some more power. Was wondering if you’d recommend their dedicated option?

@mcpeanut great stuff! Glad you got it working 🙂

I’m actually about to move over to my 1&1 VPS so will try to report back what I find. I’m pretty sure I’ve used root profiles on it before without problems.

You might have better luck with root profiles when BP adopts WP-style rewrite rules in v2.1. You’ll be able to put any component you like in the root. It was scheduled for 2.0 but there’s…[Read more]

@mcpeanut humm, that’s interesting. I’ve never had any problems getting root profiles to work. Are you doing anything else special inside bp-custom?

On a slightly different note, but still related, you might find this page of some use:

Changing Internal Configuration Settings

define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES’, true );

Put this in plugins/bp-custom.php

@lonepalmus Ah hang on, I think I understand why this might not be working.

Looking in bp_blogs_record_post I don’t think custom post types are recorded.

// Don't record this if it's not a post
if ( !in_array( $post->post_type, apply_filters( 'bp_blogs_record_post_post_types', array( 'post' ) ) ) )
return false;

I can see you’re working…[Read more]

@robg48 something else you could do is use a honeypot. An example is

http://www.pixeljar.net/2012/09/19/eliminate-buddypress-spam-registrations/

It works by adding a hidden field to your registration form. Users can’t see the field so will never complete it (it will always be blank). Spam bots, however, don’t view the page in the same way as…[Read more]

@robg48 just a thought – try changing the name of your registration page. Spam bots automatically look for pages such as /register/ so maybe use /sign-me-up/

@lonepalmus post meta should be available!

As @shanebp pointed out Site Tracking – are you sure you have it enabled? If it isn’t enabled bp_blogs_activity_new_post_content won’t fire.
