In reply to: Upgrading procedures
First, always read the readme.txt files that come with WPMU and BuddyPress.
Second, see these links:

Perhaps Andy decided to remove the previous_post_link( ) and next_post_link( ) function calls from the single.php file. They do exist in the stock download. Not everyone likes them.
In reply to: Error creating topic?In the group’s admin page, try disable the forum and then re-enabling it.
In reply to: WPMU 2.8.6 Just ReleasedThanks for the update. Based on what I had read about the upgrade, I had assumed it would not be an issue. But, since I have not yet tried the upgrade myself, I was a little hesitant about posting.
In reply to: WPMU 2.8.6 Just ReleasedLet us know here if you have issues with BP 1.1.2 after upgrading to MU 2.8.6.
In reply to: Can not create groups…..Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? yes… Really Simple CAPTCHA, WP-Cumulus, and Google News XML Sitemap
The first thing to do is disable all plugins except BuddyPress. With new installs, you should always fully test WPMU and BP and make sure that everything is working before adding more code to your setup. Installing and activating additional plugins is adding more code.
If the issue resolves, then it is more than likely a plugin conflict. You then need to determine which plugin was causing the issue.
In reply to: Can not create groups…..In reply to: Help us… Help you…Okay, making this a sticky–once again.
In reply to: Running 2 Copies of BBPressThe missing piece is deep integration. There are a number of threads on these forums about how to do just that. It is not easy.
In reply to: How to Force Profile E-Mail Check?Why don’t you just pull their already-validated email address from the DB? It is stored in the wp_users table. Making them enter it twice and then running another validation on it does not make sense.
Have you read this WP Codex article?
In reply to: Trouble Upgrading?Okay, time to unstick and close this thread. It was for upgrading from 1.0.x to 1.1. So, if you have any new upgrade issues, please start a new thread.
You will need to change Mu’s .htaccess file to reflect your directory change. You more than likely still have this directive for the RewriteBase:
RewriteBase /Change that to:
RewriteBase /wpmuIn reply to: Running 2 Copies of BBPressIn reply to: Need a good developer in South FLI’m closing this thread. If you are interested, you have the means to contact the OP.
In reply to: REQ: for all coders: Uninstall process please…There have been relatively recent (sometimes heated) debates about the issue of plugin activation and management in the WP community. The issue you describe is just one of several that need to be addressed.
I posted this awhile back on someone’s blog post:
Plugin conflicts caused by activation sequence order are becoming more of an issue–especially with the sophisticated BuddyPress plugin. More experienced plugin devs do add code to check for the installation and activation of certain core plugins before their plugin is activated, but that is not fool proof.
I believe there is a better way to do this. There should be reserved blocks of numbers set aside for key components (plugins). These numbers would be lower in the activation sequence, therefore gaining higher priority. So, BuddyPress for instance, would always be assigned a reserved activation sequence number that is lower than any 3rd-party plugin that is developed to run on top of BuddyPress. The other way to do this is parent-child dependancies. All BuddyPress plugins would be child plugins to the parent component.
In reply to: Blank page after install Buddypress 1.1.2@duna1921
Okay, just to make sure, you are running WordPress Mu and not single-version WP, correct?
Since above you indicate that this is a clean install, I would suggest starting over from scratch once more. This means deleting the MySQL DB ( I assume that there is no data worth saving since you said that this is the first time you had installed WPMU). Next, reinstall WPMU and fully test it before installing BuddyPress. Once you’ve determined WPMU is functioning properly, then install and activate BP. Choose the default BP theme. Do not install any other plugins until you have verified that BP is functioning properly.
To make sure that you install both WPMU and BP properly, read the readme.txt files that come with each application.
In reply to: Fatal Errors after 1.1.2 installdeactivated all plugins (buddypress last this time)
That could very well have been your issue. You must always deactivate all BP-dependent plugins before deactivating BP itself. I’m glad that you are back in business!
What version of WPMU and BuddyPress are you now running?
In reply to: Cannot Add Topic in bbPress ForumYou’re welcome.
In reply to: Cannot Add Topic in bbPress ForumThe integrated version of bbPress creates group-based forums. So, to add a topic, you must be within that group’s forum. If you want a sitewide forum, you will have to install another copy of bbPress (you can use the same bbPress tables) using deep integration. There are a number of threads on these forums about how to do just that.

In reply to: XML=RPC for iPhone AppHave you posted in the http://BP-dev.org/ forums? This plugin is a 3rd-party plugin created by Nicola Greco. If you’ve posted there and received no response, you can PM him via BuddyPress.org.
In reply to: Register vs wp-signup : passwords vs signup questionThe register.php page is a BuddyPress-specific theme file that let’s you more easily customize the user registration page. It is found in the /registration/ directory of the parent theme bp-sn-parent. When it is in use, it takes over the duties from the wp-signup.php page which is a WPMU file. You can use either one, but I find it easier to use the register.php page.
Also, read this thread. The OP created a new Captcha plugin for WordPress that is compatible with version 1.1.x of BP:

Here’s the direct link to the plugin in the WP repo:

In reply to: Fatal Errors after 1.1.2 installJust a random thought. Before upgrading, or at least activating, the new version of BuddyPress, did you run the upgrade script for WPMU? Under the Site Admin menu, there is a sub-menu item called Upgrade. If not, deactivate BP, then try hitting that button. After it is finished, reactivate BP.
I’m just working through a mental list.
In reply to: Dashboard Add Users email borkageThis seems like a legitimate bug. Would someone please report it in Trac giving the details in the OP. You log into Trac using the same credentials as you do here.
In reply to: Fatal Errors after 1.1.2 installAre you using the old default BP themes or the new parent/child defaul BP theme architecture?
The old two-theme system relied on the bphome theme residing in /wp-content/themes/ and the bpmember theme residing in /wp-content/bp-themes/. If you still have those theme files try this:
- Make sure that you have moved the new theme files into their proper location as detailed here in step 4 of the section entitled, “Installing BuddyPress”
- Then, do as instructed in step 5 of the above link
- If you are stilling having issues, you may need to remove the old default BP theme files
