In reply to: 404 Error in front page, please help!
Yes I have the Wp-content/bp_theme
Just to be absolutely sure, the bpmember theme, and all BuddyPress member themes, go in /wp-content/bp-themes/, not /wp-content/bp_theme.
You did not provide answers to these three questions:
6. Whether you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated
7. Whether you are using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes
8. A list of any errors in your server’s log files

I’m glad you seem to be up and running. If your BuddyPress issue is indeed resolved, all you need to do now is turn the light green at the top and we’re good to go.
Moominmama-
Thanks for the detailed issue report. It is nice to see someone actually following the procedure!
As I’ve seen one of your posts in another thread, I realize that you are aware of various issues that some people have installing WPMU on BlueHost. It seems that you’ve navigated far along the path and may be close to success. So, I’ll see if I can provide you with another step or two toward the finish line.
PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home1/openboo2/public_html/blogging/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php:123) in /home1/openboo2/public_html/blogging/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php on line 214
The “Cannot modify header” error almost always indicates that there is some whitespace before the opening php or closing php tag. It could be in one or both places. Open up class.bpdb.php and look for the whitespace. It should be removed and the file saved.
PHP Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /home1/openboo2/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress-live.php on line 425
Are you running PHP4 or PHP5?
In reply to: Change standard button into own graphic button ?This is just off the top of my head. No guarantees. Try something like this:
<input type="image" name="search-submit" id="search-submit"
src="/path/to/your/submit.gif" alt="submit" />Please realize that since you are hacking the core (making changes to a core BuddyPress file), the next time you update BP, your changes will be lost. Instead, you should create an alternate function for bp_search_form() and place that in a bp-custom.php file.
In reply to: 404 Error in front page, please help!We’ve been having a related discussion in this thread. Are you using BlueHost as well? It does not really matter. The lessons in the link are the same.
The requested URL /community/members was not found on this server.
Do you have the default member theme (bpmember) installed in /wp-content/bp-themes/?
Group, Members, Blogs, Registration, does not work.
I assume registration is working fine now because I just visited your site and you have a newly registered member–a test account, I assume. The time on your OP clearly indicates that you started this thread before you registered that new account.
Finally, please go through this list of questions.
In reply to: WordPress and WPMU to Merge?We do not have anymore details than you have read. Perhaps Andy will shed some light after he has recuperated from WordCamp SF.
In addition to that news, there was mention that WP.com will offer BuddyPress as well. So, as far as what this means for BuddyPress, your guess is as good as mine. Will BuddyPress be included as a simple “switch” to turn on? How about bbPress?
When will all this happen? The writer of that post speculates around WPv2.9. Who knows. Since this is such a major shift, to me it seems more like a version 3.0 event. But, this is also pure speculation.
In reply to: Make access members/groups sections members-onlyPeterverkooijen-
It seems like your not getting any traction with this issue. I understand your need to have a plugin that restricts group access to only those members within a group.
As I mentioned in the thread you referenced above, we are working on an overall privacy component for BuddyPress. What you are seeking will be one of the features of this component.
Perhaps someone will point out an existing plugin that I’m not aware of, or go and create it for you! But, if that does not happen, you at least know that this functionality is in the works.

when i try to access bb-admin i’m redirected to forum home and not in admin panel
I’m not the best bbPress guy to help you here, but here’s my first thought: you did not log in as keymaster. When you log in on the front page as keymaster, you should see an admin link next to your name. If you don’t have that after you’re logged in, you might not be set as keymaster.
In reply to: Limiting priveleges to usersI have one question
Here are the three answers to your one question!
Is it the case that anyone can register on the community and create a blog
You can control blog registration in WPMU’s backend. Log into the admin panel as site administrator and visit “Site Admin > Options > Allow new registrations”. There are a few settings which give you some basic control.
Can the community admin restrict who has the privilege to do that
If the community admin is the overall site admin, then see the first answer.
is it possible to make membership by invitation only?

In reply to: Users cannot access dashboard or write blogsMratanas-
Unless a member has direct experience with a one-button installer, you will most likely not get much help here on how to use SimpleScripts on BlueHost.
But, you really should not be installing complex software platforms like WPMU by using third-party installers. You should manually install WPMU paying careful, close attention to the readme.txt file that comes with it.
You need to make sure that WPMU is working perfectly before you install any plugins. This includes BuddyPress. If you continue to have issues, you should visit the WPMU forums and see how others have solved their problems installing Mu on BlueHost. Once WPMU is working perfectly, install BuddyPress. If you then have issues, come back here and we’ll see what we can do.
To help us better help you, if you do come back with a BuddyPress-specific issue, please follow these instructions.
In reply to: Move Login Fields into Buddybar (Adminbar)Jrtlm-
The issue is resolved for three browsers, but that only encompasses less than 40% of the Internet.
You may be giving Internet Explorer way too much credit. Check the recent stats for yourself. At this one source, IE represents only about 42% of browser usage. So, your question may be almost 60% resolved!
Of course, there are a few other sources that state overall IE to be about 66% or so. However, there are ways that browser usage data can be overestimated as well as underestimated. I like to say that IE realistically has a market share of 50 to 55%, but that its share is slowly declining each month.
A few questions for you:
Which versions of IE?
Does it not work on any of them, or just not on the oldest version?
In reply to: Securing components from non logged in usersPeterverkooijen-
This issue is not resolved imho.
Your issue is not what this thread is about. The issue of the OP was resolved and so he marked it as such.
Posting a new request in a one-month old thread marked resolved will not get much attention. See here for more details: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2543
But, to provide some insight into your question, a couple of us are currently working on a full-featured privacy (authorization) component for BuddyPress. It is a ways off from being made available.
In reply to: “Ask a question” pluginJfcarter-
It is of course easy to do this in a forum!
But, I do not know of any non-forum plugin that is specifically designed to facilitate question answering. I suppose you could use the P2 theme and create a special post category just for this purpose.
Burt-
Very nice indeed! I’ll put this in the unofficial Skeleton Component v1.3.

You’re welcome!
Now, the last thing to do, if your problem is solved/issue is answered, is to set the light green up top and we’re good to go.
In reply to: problem with hoard hunter pluginDennyhalim-
I just took a quick visit to the Hoard Hunter plugin page. This is what is says about:
Hoard Hunter is an online treasure map game designed and developed for people who would like an easy (and fun) method of fund raising online. The system comprises of a custom plugin and integrated theme. The Hoard Hunter site is powered by WordPress MU (though the system will also run on standard WordPress) and uses a number of WordPress plugins to provide additional functionality.
My First thought is that I would not even attempt to use this with BuddyPress. This looks like a complicated plugin that relies on many other plugins and its own custom theme to do some complex stuff. It is ripe with problems waiting to happen.
Also, it is not clear if this plugin suite, as it really should be considered, works with WPMU 2.7.1. You need to contact the developer and ask. There does not seem to be an activity on that plugin’s thread for almost 6 months and the images do not load on the website. This is never a good sign.
As is stated above, Hoard Hunter is a “system [comprised] of a custom plugin and integrated theme” and it relies on “a number of WordPress plugins to provide additional functionality”. You are dealing with a potentially large mess here in figuring out what is going on.
As John and I both suggested, you need to deactivate the Hoard Hunter plugin and all other plugins that Hoard Hunter is using. Furthermore, you need to switch back to the default BuddyPress themes. In other words, to troubleshoot this issue, you need to strip down your install to the lowest common denominator and see if the problem goes away.
So, just using the BuddyPress plugins and no other WPMU plugins, and just using the standard, default BP themes, does the problem go away. If so, you then start working your way backwards, adding a plugin at a time until either everything works or you find the problem.
It could also be an issue with Hoard Hunter’s “integrated theme”.
I hope this is just a development install and not an ongoing WPMU community to which your trying to add BP. If it is an ongoing community, perhaps you should stick with what you have and forget using BP.
If you wish to continue troubleshooting, and you have important data to protect, please make sure you know what you are doing, that you are comfortable with troubleshooting this issue. You’ll need to make backups of your database, your themes, upload directories, plugins–in other words everything. Why? Because there are no guarantees.
In reply to: Blog DirectoryMal-
I just tried visiting your site again. In Safari for OS X, it begins loading, the progress bar gets about 30% on its way, and then it starts loading all over again. It never renders any page content in the browser window. Your favicon is the only item that appears–and that of course is in the address bar.
I then tried with the latest version of FireFox for OS X, almost the same thing happened except this time I got your greyish patterned background. But, it still kept reloading.
I then checked for errors using the Web Developer Add-on for Firefox. There were many reported. Actually, it is probably the case that there are just a handful of errors. Each time the site reload gets triggered (about 2-3 times a second), the errors get added to the list.
I recommend that you install that Add-on and take a look yourself. Since you say that you have no issue loading your website, I can only assume that you are not using OS X. But, I don’t think that you want to exclude all OS X users from your site!
In reply to: Including non-community blogs in blog directoryKunal17-
Yes. You would have to write code to pull all the data from that particular xprofile field and then modify your template to display it.

In reply to: url problemDredede-
When installing and configuring WPMU, you need to carefully follow the instructions in the readme.txt file. Since you have a subdomain install, see the “DNS” section in particular.
In reply to: Blog Avatar/ImagesAs far as I know, currently this is not possible. It is more a WPMU issue than a BuddyPress issue.
However, there is a future enhancement ticket in trac to provide this functionality via BP. I do not think it has high priority on Andy’s list, but you never know!
Until then, you could look into using this premium plugin.
In reply to: Recent Posts Widget Bug?The title of your thread says, “Recent Posts Widget Bug?”
So, let’s again clarify. With exactly which widget are you seeing this behavior? The “Recent Blog Posts” widget, or the “Recent Post” widget?
The former is a BuddyPress widget, the latter is a WPMU widget.

It seems that this issue is resolved. Please set the light up top to green and we’re good to go!
