It’s just spammers isn’t it! When bots sign up, they have to or think they have to fill any form fields they find so they simply place random characters. Are these actual users or spammers?

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

I don’t think this is a BP issue I think it will be resolved at the server and dns level so hopefully your hosts on the case will get things resolved. My reference to vhost was at the Apache server level but your hosts support desk should be able to sort that out if there is any issue. Please update the thread here one way or another.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

There are quite a few lines required in the wp-config apart from subdomains allowed true are you sure you completed ALL the steps required to set up multi site.

The dns aspect perhaps may not have propagated fully yet? is definitely an A record wild card, if running vhost containers are they set correctly for subdomains.

It’s an interesting and worthy community to build.

I would think perhaps about a few of the background colours the sharpish acid colours can be a bit hard on the eyes and will reduce the contrast between text and background so older eyes may struggle a little. I would remove the text shadow from the default theme on those footer links it just makes them very difficult to read.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Very nice, like the profile pages layout.

Thanks for making me feel depressed

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Folks please respond to questions asked, don’t make forum members have to ask the same thing twice, after all we’re only trying to help

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Hmm looks to me as though you have now edited the correct url. Is the url here the correct one as both posts show the same!

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Edited the first post? but there are two, no matter, however at the moment there are no Mods allocated to this group so I can’t delete or lock it.

Can we consider this thread closed to further comments, and to continue in the other one with the correct url link.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

I assume that you posted again as this link was/is incorrect?

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

I would check all settings in the BP admin section, possibly deactivate/reactivate BP.

Are you running anything other than a bog standard install?

Check the DB do these tables exist?

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

You will need to supply more information than you have, i.e versions installed, although I asume they are latest stable releases of both.

This is not a common error; WP and BP normally install just fine, 500 is a server error and can be caused by a mis-configured .htaccess rule or lack of PHP script memory and many other factors.

Can you initially confirm how much memory is allocated to PHP script limit it may need to be increased, also what version of PHP you have installed on the server.

Does WP run ok? Don’t activate BP just ensure that WP is installed correctly, that permalinks work as expected.

If you can’t access dashboard rename BP plugin to force a deactivation of it and that should return access to wp-admin

@jimboba My apologies, no you didn’t incur my wrath and weren’t dismissed, sometimes it’s easy to lose track of threads

Using the @mention system does help to ensure we see things flagged to our username.

At times it does become very difficult to help further, especially remotely where we can only ask questions and are divorced from the actual events, normally I have access to all the files such as access/error logs, DB etc so I can effectively troubleshoot issues.

Something else to check might be the settings for wordpress url and site url ; wordpress url should reflect the url path to your sub folder installation?

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Upload what file? the error log? That’s really for you to read through and ascertain whether there are any entries pertaining to BBpress. If there are you could copy a few lines of that log to a post here but not the whole log which will likely be very large, but if you do mask out any directory path details as this is information that doesn’t need to be public.

Also check your BB config file it should have the same DB connection details as your main config.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

@pelleas You must start your own thread for your issues please you have posted to two diffrent and old threads that appear to relate to your issue

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/make-friends-button-does-not-appear/

Seldom do other threads relate exactly to your own issue, and responding to two different posters in one thread is a recipe for confusion and considered bad practice. I also believe you responded to Boone’s question above via a update which further disjoints things as we could be staring at this thread awaiting a response not aware you have actually responded.

For now I suggest continuing in this thread, but for future issues please start a new topic.

A further question: Are you using a custom theme? If you are can you revert to the BP default theme and also disable any third party plugins that are not absolutely necessary for the operation of BP (basically that means any plugins other than BP itself) and then check again whether you see ‘Add Friends’ buttons on members directory listing or profile pages.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

There is likely too little information for any of us to be able to help in any great detail, can you try contacting your host and asking if they can provide a copy of your error log?

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Technically the superuser/superadmin doesn’t log in to BP but to WP.

Not heard of this happening before, as for debugging, generally that is a case of reducing a setup back down to basics to finding a working state then re-introducing elements checking each time until an issue is replicated; in this instance you might start by disabling plugins one by one and check each time whether the issue still manifests, If you’re using a custom theme it might be wise to drop back to the BP default theme just to ensure that the custom theme plays no part in the problem.

If the issue is unresolvable and you need further assistance please post full details of your setup.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Hmm Joomla.

Funny; check the ‘Happy users’ logos , one of our own listed there! Wonder if they would care to explain

I see that Joomla is still kicking out very badly malformed markup, they are so lucky that browser parsers aren’t stricter.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Just thinking the same, it’s the Riff Raff that hijacks threads in this way

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Oh Brad!

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Have you tried modifying the header file in members/single and removing those items?

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

@/businessbites

You make a series of statements where’s the question

Without sight of some code or a site link it’s not really possible to help that much.

It sounds like you perhaps need to make some adjustments to the styling of your theme, have you tried to?

Suffusion is not the default BP theme, problems and issues might need to be taken up with that themes authors where possible and applicable.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

True! OP description does worry slightly though, but need more exacting detail.

I think though that frankfurter would have been messaging Janet?

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Warnings are going to fly fast and furious if you are using 5.1.6; yampnag tolualonary or double colons to you and I are going to be an issue ‘::’, it’s the reason I mentioned them briefly in the mods group Paul, but there isn’t really an answer short of upgrade PHP I fear.

Nice one cheers for feeding that back.

ought to give @travel-junkie the heads up on that as well
