I’m not sure we’re not talking at cross purposes here. you say “new user was for main site” ok all fine and good but “mot a new created blog site” ? not sure what that means. A new user registers they opt to create a new blog, they become a member of the main site […]

This isn’t an issue I’ve come across, you shouldn’t have a problem, that you say tings work with BP disabled yet not when BP is enabled is odd, I presume you have created a sub-domain under the WP setup, when activating BP BP should pick that blog up and show it under th members account/profile […]

I would likely add mysql.* in error 🙂 may have a play though at some point.

Hmm not sure what the problem is then, you are using the default BP theme aren’t you

Not a similar issue, these sound like two separate issues. Please do not post to a forum in this manner you must start your own thread and provide as much detail as possible if you want help. @holgria Are you running a custom theme or BP-default? Without more detail than you have provided it won’t really […]

Are you talking about WP posts?

Try using the:
the_excerpt()

in the WP loop or the <!–more–> tag in the body of a post or hand crafted post excerpts.

If that is not what you are after you may need to explain a little more just what you need.

Have you enabled the registration of both users and blogs in the main site options?

Have you definitely enabled Multi Site capability – is this actually WP 3.0.1 or the now slightly older WPMU you are using?

Have you set DNS wild card entry to allow sub domains to work?

@bowromir if you’re going to writing up instructions to – what may well be – newbs then take great care when explaining how to access a DB especially through the phpMyAdmin interface, give clear warnings about backing up before undertaking any tasks in phpMyAdmin especially tasks that involve dropping tables – it’s all too easy to […]

When you say ‘left these blank’ then that can be checked by doing: ` if (bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=instructor’ )) { if (bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=instructor’ ) == ‘ Heiny’ ) ‘do stuff’; if (bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=instructor’ ) == ‘none’) ‘default selection has been saved’; }else{ ‘User has not visited profile and made…[Read more]

The weekend? is that the weekend that begins in two or three days time Ray :p

Yes but is it a particular activity that is causing this? can you be a little more specific, got any logs?

Not ideal but I guess as long as it works. Generally speaking it must be the responsibility of each theme writer to support their theme and to correct any issues that may arise through it, otherwise it would become an increased burden on the main support site.

Your first port of call should really have been the themes home having established it is a theme issue or so it would appear. If you read through this page you arrive at: http://freebpthemes.com/themes/buddymatic/?replytocom=409#respond Which appears to be a similar or the same issue? and it might be worth adding to this comment stream? There […]

And why is it not good to turn off PHP safe_mode? Given that PHP itself is set to deprecate or even remove the function from the next version. Given that server security – according to those that appear to understand the subject – is something that can and should only be handled at the server […]

Yep bottom line is that it’s simply a set of DB values that need changing, but as with all things it’s easy to say that and easy to point to the fields that need changing but disaster can always strike when playing with databases directly.

I think that the complexities of working on this site hosted on Automattics servers is not as easy as would be one of our own sites. There are a plans to do a fair bit of work as to the hold up on that I can’t say, I suggest that we badger @Boone in the Ninja […]

You might have to restore things by going into the DB and setting values back to what they should be for that user. wp_usermeta table is a start, look for the user and ensure that wp_capabilities is : a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;} and the wp_user_level field is: 10 You may also need to go into the wp_sitemeta table […]

Off the top of my head locate the min / max widths and replace them with width:960px or larger if you really wish. Child theme approach is best as then you can move a copy of the bp default css to your own folder to work on , problem is that min/max properties are a […]

Would be nice. The mods need a slightly greater level of control which at this time isn’t available we are tied to the Buddypress methodology for site admininistration.

Also Sven it’s perhaps worth remembering that Buddypress is simply a plugin that rides on the back of the WP install and DB, and in that respect we are really talking about backing up your WP install rather than BP. As pcwriter says many control panels provide backup facilities, if you haven’t got a CP […]
