It took thecoup actually replicating my process to convince me
That isn’t entirely the correct approach, it is up to the individual , where possible, to test all possible conditions to be able to rule them out of the process of troubleshooting. To base ones belief that something ought to work on past experience is flawed, simply having performed this extremely simple process of a manual install would have saved a lot of time and a lot of human resources in trying to troubleshoot this for you
One click installs are for newbs, don’t be one, don’t use these horrible automated systems; FTP and SSH are simple enough protocols with easy to use apps, and working this way gives you greater control.
Just to recap on this thread:
On page 1 modemlooper gave this advice: (note the bold text)
Just a tip. Never use one click installs. Create the database and upload the WP files. I can’t say this will fix the problem but it could be worth a try. Your hosts one click could be broken.
cmroybal -replied:modemlooper: Thanks for the tip. I have successfully installed around 10 other websites with WP via one-click install and have never faced any problems like this with a plugin. There might be a conflict between the Buddypress plugin and this type of WP install, but I haven’t heard of anybody else identifying this as a problem before.
What do others think?
Flawed logic is apparent! what may have happened in the past does not necessarily hold true for the present situation. You appear to rule out modemloopers suggestion based on the fact that you have never heard of anyone else identifying this problem – we need to keep in mind here that installing WP manually takes around 2 -3 minutes. you end that comment by passing back the onus to others , at this stage it is irrelevant what others think, testing the possibility was the correct course of action.modemlooper – replied further:
I’ve used one clicks and on occasion it’s broken. If you can do a manual install I’d try it.
yet again modemlooper urges that the manual install is tried yet it seems to fall on deaf ears
Sorry to come across in this manner but it’s a useful thread to highlight where time and resources can be wasted when simple tests are not performed.
there’s no emoticon for tongue in cheek!Although I do draw issue on dumbing stuff down too far – as I expressed on modemloopers post – I’m afraid it’s up to users to step up to the plate and put a little effort in after all it’s how we all learnt and still do have to learn each and every day (this is in no reference to anyone)
The one thing I was trying to get clarification on Paul…! was how BP was aware that /languages/ folder existed if it was not necessary to add a ‘define()’ to bp-custom- and thought that ought to be mentioned briefly?
Really appreciate the leg work! damned with feint praise
yeah I checked the revision history
Thanks for totally rewriting my poedit section, clearly modemlooper was right it was too detailed and confusing, shame had thought it was helping
sorry did someone say something
True search here is a chore
Robots.txt is a file that lives in the root document directory of a site, however I seem to remember issues in the past adding one as WP might be trying to add it’s own one?
What results – if any do you get from running:
http://example.com/robots.txt (your site name obviously)
@gunju2221 thing is Savanah Mercime is pretty experienced with BP and no doubt even more experienced with PHP
For the php parsing engine to work you must have php tags around your script elements, common practice is to open and close those tags when needing to parse markup, or one adds one opening and one closing set and all markup in the script needs to be set as echoed strings, variables or the heredoc function called.
Likely you have a file that is using supplied snippets written by members and which for potability each have their own set of tags.
Read my post above ‘BBDB_NAME’ there’s a reason I post stuff like that
