In reply to: IE6 and 7 problem
First of all, we do not have sufficient information to offer the best resolution to your issue.
We have no idea what versions of WPMU and BuddyPress you’re running. Are you running WPMU or single-user WordPress? What other plugins do you have installed?
The plugin does not indicated that it works with WPMU and it is only updated to WP 2.7.1. Perhaps that is part of the problem.
I’m setting this to “not a support question” as this seems more like a WP issue and not a BuddyPress issue. Also, I’m moving it to the proper forum, “Third Party Components & Plugins”.
In reply to: Adding Group AdminsThat is not possible at this time–although it will be possible shortly! If you look at the BuddyPress roadmap for version 1.1, you’ll see that that is one of the targeted improvements.
This is not a BuddyPress topic and should be targeted at the WPMU forums instead. But I’ll give you a little help nonetheless.
You should be using an IDE (integrated development environment) that allows you to search all files for the piece of code you want to find–among many other very useful features. I’m on a Mac and I prefer Coda to TextMate–although I used to use the latter.
The CSS is actually near the top of the wp-signup.php file. Search for function wpmu_signup_stylesheet().
I’m also setting this to “not a support question” as it has to do with styling in a WPMU file and nothing to do with BuddyPress.
In reply to: HTML tags in group forumsPerhaps Burt or John will have a different take on this, but since you have the helper plugin installed and are still having this issue, then it could be an issue with an outdated libxml library.
Which version of libxml2 and PHP is your server running?
If it is not what is recommended in that article I linked to in my first post, then you might want to upgrade and see if that solves the problem.
In reply to: Buddypress and Flutter conflictingI’ve never heard of Flutter. But the link you provided to the Flutter plugin on the WP plugin repo appears to be for the single-user verison of WordPress and not for WPMU. That could be the issue.
Also, if you visit the homepage for the company that created Flutter, there is a link at the bottom to an alpha version for Mu.
I’m changing this to “not a support question” as you are having issues caused by a 3rd-party plugin (and one that is not supposed to work with WPMU at that) and it has nothing to do with BuddyPress not functioning properly. I’m also moving this to the “Third Party Components & Plugins” forum and out of the “How-To and Troubleshooting” forum.
In reply to: Will BuddyPress work with Multi-Site Manager Pluginr-a-y
The OP was talking about the multi-site plugin found on wpmudev.org. I just looked on wpmututorials and, although I found a page that talked about a multi-site plugin, it was not clear who coded it. The page was about an e-book package for purchase that comes with both the multi-site plugin and Advanced Domain Mapper. Again, I’m not sure if that refers to Donncha’s plugin on something Ron did.
If either or both of these are separate plugins, perhaps it would make sense to rename them as there is too much confusion with the very similar names.
Perhaps Ron and or Andre can clear this up!
In reply to: HTML tags in group forumsThe appearance of various tags like p and /p on your forum posts used to indicate a problem with your xmllib library on your server. Read this post for information on the bug and how to fix it.
However, I believe the buddypress-enable.php plugin in earlier versions of BP ( 1.0 and 1.0.1 ), was meant to fix that issue. But, for other reasons, this helper plugin is still required to make bbPress function properly in 1.0.3. So, make sure that you overwrite the existing version of the buddypress-enable.php file with the one that comes with 1.0.3 (found in /buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress-plugins/).
Also, make sure you read and follow the instructions in the installation-readme.txt file found in /bp-forums/.
With regard to XMLRPC, going forward, the communication between bbPress and BP v1.1+ will no longer depend on XMLRPC.
In reply to: New Install Database Table missing error, pls helpFirst, before doing anything, always read the readme.txt file that comes with the install package–this includes the WPMU and the BuddyPress packages. It has important information–especially about what you need to do with the theme files.
Since BuddyPress resides in its own directory, I would suggest deleting the old install. You should not have any issues if you do this. Why? Because any of the plugins, themes, or custom code that you may be using should exist outside of the BuddyPress directory. Before deleting the BP directory, you need to make sure that you deactivate it in WPMU’s backend.
Furthermore, just in case, it is always prudent to have recent backups of your custom themes and your plugins before deleting anything. You want to be absolutely sure that if you accidentally delete the wrong files or directories, that it will not be a big issue since you can simply copy them back. I also suggest that you have a recent copy of your wp-config.php file and even the .htaccess file (assuming that you have plugins installed that may have altered the default congifg).
Since this is a fresh install, I would also suggest starting over with a new DB. If you already have data that you wish to keep in the DB–because you’ve been running WPMU for awhile in a production environment–then your only option is to manually delete the BP tables in the DB before reinstalling BP.
Also, since you are having specific issues with the activity tables, you will need to follow my advice in this post to get the activity tables to reinstall.
As always, before doing anything that affects the DB, please back it up. This also includes backing up your DB before each and every upgrade.

In reply to: which theme is used here in bp.org ?This question is asked several times a month. It is a custom theme made by Andy. It will not be made available.
In reply to: Remove Create a Blog option from signupDavid is correct. The album component is not mentioned on the current BP roadmap.
David was part of an interesting discussion we had about the album component in another thread the other day. For those of you who are interested, here is my response about the lack of an album component mention in the roadmap.
Are you asking if an albums component comes as part of BP’s core in v1.1? If so, the answer is no. Here is more information on that issue.
In reply to: bb-attachments and buddypress forumI would contact _ck_, the author of that plugin and ask if BuddyPress support will be added. You can post a suggest here.
In reply to: New Install Database Table missing error, pls helpThat is very strange indeed. I would suggest deactivating BuddyPress and installing manually.
In reply to: i am getting this error in php_error.logWhich version of WPMU did you install? Was it an upgrade from a previous version? If so, which version? Have you tried disabling all your plugins to see if the error goes away?
This error has to do with a WPMU function not functioning properly. More than likely it is not a BuddyPress error. You need to deactivate all plugins, including BP, and switch to a default WP theme (one that comes with WPMU) and see if the problem goes away.
If so, then it most likely has something to do with one of your plugins. The next step would then be to switch back to the theme you were using. Does the problem return? If not, reactivate BuddyPress. Does it return? If not, reactivate another plugin…
You keep reactivating one plugin at a time, each time checking to see if the error has returned. If it has, then there is probably an issue with that plugin. Make sure that you are using the most recent version of that plugin and the it is compatible with the version of WPMU you’re currently running. If it is, then contact the plugin developer and share the issue with them.
In reply to: Will BuddyPress work with Multi-Site Manager PluginAs JasonG states, WPMU is really setup to work with a single domain. However, as he also points out, Donncha has an early-stage plugin that allows the mapping of a domain to a specific blog on a Mu install. It is called the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin.
Concerning getting the multi-site plugin to work with BuddyPress, there is a ticket in Trac that addresses a potential way to allow it to work with BP.
In reply to: New Install Database Table missing error, pls helpCan you confirm that the table wp_bp_activity_user_activity_cached indeed does not exist?
The fact that, as you say, “everything works lovely” when you switch to the bp-default theme, indicates that BuddyPress is functioning properly. So, you have an issue with your custom theme.
Any WP theme will work as a BP home theme as long as some additional files are included. With v1.1 of BP, basically the version you downloaded from trunk, BP switches to a parent/child theme architecture. So, you need to make sure the custom theme you are using can function as a parent theme.
Look at the various files in the BP parent theme — bp-sn-framework. My guess is that your custom theme is missing many of those files.
More information of the new parent/child theme architecture: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/details-about-the-new-theme-architecture
In reply to: New Install Database Table missing error, pls help@Omgitsrfb-
Could you please look in your wp_sitemeta table for an entry “bp-activity-db-version” in the meta_key field column. What is the meta_value number for that record?
In reply to: New Install Database Table missing error, pls helpDid you upgrade using the big orange download button, from the auto upgrade in WPMU’s plugin page, or 1.0.3 trunk from trac?
Had you previously upgraded to a recent trunk version? If so, which version?
In reply to: Help with new functionIn your member-loop.php file you can add this
<?php echo bp_core_get_username( bp_get_the_site_member_user_id() ) ?>to this line:
<div class="item-title"><a href="<?php bp_the_site_member_link() ?>"><?php bp_the_site_member_name() ?></a></div>You do that right before the closing “a” tag. But, just remember that whenever you do a theme upgrade, you’ll lose your customizations. This, of course, is assuming that you are using the default member’s theme that comes with BP.
You will have to do your own styling to output the user’s login where you want it to be positioned.
In reply to: Help with new functionSo, you are simply trying to customize that output of the search results?
In reply to: Help with new functionWhy are you not using the function bp_core_get_user_displayname() in bp-core.php? You can pass it the user’s ID and it will pull the username for you.
But, here’s what you need to do with your code:
$row = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare("SELECT user_login FROM $wpdb->users WHERE id = %d", $bp->displayed_user->id) );Also, note that this will only work when a viewer is on a member’s page as it pulls the ID of just that displayed user.
In reply to: Help with group-home.phpThe sidebar is not a sidebar.php, just floating on the right.
So, have you created a class or division called sidebar within group-home.php and are placing the code above within that? Is it still within the <div id=”main”>?
Please tell use more details about where you’ve positioned the code within the template.
In reply to: Buddypress conflict with wpremixThat is fine. I’ll set this topic to “not a support question” and we’ll see if anyone else has some ideas that may help.
In reply to: Buddypress conflict with wpremixWP Remix is a premium theme. You will need to go ask the 3rd-party developers of that theme if and when they plan on offering BuddyPress support to their themes. You’ve paid money to them, they should help you.
I’m setting this to resolved as it is an issue with a 3rd-party theme and not BuddyPress.
