In reply to: Still no Avatar fix?
Do you have any other plugins besides BuddyPress installed? Do you receive any error messages?
Have you read this post? https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2190#post-11864
In reply to: Defualt member theme not workingTo better help you, we need a few more details.
- Are there any errors in the log files? If so, what are they?
- Are you using any plugins other than BuddyPress? If so, have you tried deactivating them and seeing what happens?
- Did you make any changes to the .htaccess file? If so, what were they?
- Did you install the .htaccess file in WPMU’s root?
Here are some other things to do before replying:
- Read the first post in this thread very carefully again and make sure that you have BuddyPress installed in the proper location and the various theme files put in their proper place.
- Although not everything applies to your situation, please read this thread entirely.
In reply to: Still no Avatar fix?Which versions of WPMU and BuddyPress are you running?
In reply to: Problem with News CSSI’ve looked ever so briefly at your site’s CSS files. It seems that you have customized the standard BuddyPress themes somewhat rather than creating a custom theme from scratch. So, here are some initial debugging steps and questions:
- Which version of BuddyPress are you using? The one from the large, orange “Download” button?
- Have you tried switching back to the default BuddyPress themes and see what happens?
- Have you disabled the WP-Forums plugin in WPMU backend and see if the problem goes away?
Finally, having the proper tools can help you figure out many CSS issues. I highly recommend that you use Firefox with the Firebug Add-on.
Burt-
Thanks for reminding us of the buddypress.pastbin and for pasting in Andy’s WP abstraction functions. This will be handy.
In reply to: Release Dates ???Andy just announced via Twitter that, barring any unforeseen issues, RC-2 will be out tomorrow and within a week he hopes to have the official, public release of version 1.0 of BuddyPress!
In reply to: Avatars, Custom Themes and RegisteringAuwagner-
I\’m running the latest WPMU (2.7)
Then you’re not running either WPMU 2.7.1-beta1 or -beta2?
If that is the case, then this is the issue. WPMU 2.7.1 has been required since BuddyPress r1303.
Fortunately, you’re in luck! WPMU 2.7.1 was just officially released this afternoon. Read this ( http://ocaoimh.ie/2009/04/21/wordpress-mu-271/ ) and get it here: https://mu.wordpress.org/download/
is it possible to make certain components of profiles to be viewed for members only?
Not yet. I’m working on a privacy plugin that will allow control at the profile group level. Andy is working on an overall privacy component for BuddyPress. No timeline for either.
Until then, try this: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=39
In reply to: Avatars, Custom Themes and RegisteringOkay, first a couple of questions:
I have a fairly vanilla instance of the latest wpmu release…
- What does this mean? The latest release of WPMU is 2.7. Is that what you’re running?
- Also, which BuddyPress trunk revision are you running?
- Are you running any other plugins besides BuddyPress?
- Did you follow all the instructions in the first post of this thread that pertain to custom themes?
- Did you read post eight in this thread?
Regarding the code line that seems to be throwing the problem, that would indicate that you do not have the proper permissions set on the blogs.dir directory. See question 5 above.
In reply to: WordPress MU 2.7.1 beta 2 ..is it worth the update?If you’re not having any issues and are not actively developing new plugins for either WPMU or BP, then I’d say wait for the official release of both WPMU 2.7.1 and BP.
In reply to: My Account Links not showingOkay, next question:
1. Did you follow the instructions in the first post here under the section heading “If you are using your own customized themes”?
In reply to: bp components per userWell, only the site admin(s) can activate or deactivate the BuddyPress plugin. So, members should not be able to selectively enable or disable individual components.
In reply to: Nifty registration pageRegister.php is a BuddyPress file whereas wp-signup.php is a WPMU file. If you use register.php, then wp-signup is automatically not used. In other words, you use one or the other. To choose to use wp-signup.php, you would need to delete register.php from your theme.
Many people have issues customize wp-signup.php. Therefore, I’d recommend using register.php and customize that file instead.
In reply to: Recommended Hosting for BuddyPress site?Well, I’ll chime in here. I prefer Slicehost.
It’s not for everyone. In fact, it’s not for most people. It is for us techie guys that want to control absolutely everything. It’s a company built by software developers for software developers.
When you purchase a slice, you have to install (yourself) the server OS, the web server, database servers, mail client, web packages, your custom files, etcetera. You are in total control of the environment. You basically build your own production box from scratch–although you actually are in control of a virtual machine on one of their servers unless you buy all the slices on a give physical box.
Blah, blah, blahbity, blah…
If any of this scares you, then Slicehost is not for you.
Burt-
Well, that was one of my thoughts–and why I’m asking Grandslambert to clarify what he meant by
Using WPMU 2.7 and the latest TRUNK of bbPress
I assume he meant BuddyPress. If so, is he running WPMU 2.7 but with BP 1.0_RC2? Did he install the BP folder in the proper spot? You’ve seen my questions above.
But, I’m tired and JJJ had an intriguing idea as well. So, perhaps I should get some sleep tonight and all the problems of the universe will disappear overnight!
@JJJ-
Hum, I guess that could help…
In reply to: My Account Links not showingSome initial questions:
- Which versions of WPMU and BuddyPress are you running?
- Have you enabled all of BuddyPress’ components?
- Where did you install the suite of BuddyPress components?
- Are you using custom themes of the standard themes that came with BuddyPress?
WPMU 2.7 and the latest TRUNK of bbPress
I assume you mean BuddyPress, and not bbPress. If so, then here are a few questions:
- What do you mean by “latest TRUNK”? Did you actually download the BP trunk from trac as a zip or use SVN? Or, did you obtain BuddyPress from the big, orange Download button that can be found on the top of any BP page?
- What version of BuddyPress are you using?
- Where exactly did you place the BuddyPress folder?
- You are using WPMU 2.7 and not WPMU 2.7.1-beta1 or -beta2, correct?
In reply to: wpmu 2.7.1 beta2 & bp rev 1350Jedbarish-
I’m not exactly sure what the issue is here. Perhaps this will help.
Since r1303 and WPMU 2.7.1-beta1, BuddyPress has been considered a single plugin that has multiple components. Once WPMU is upgraded, you install BuddyPress.
Then, you log in as site admin in WPMU backend and go to” Plugins > Installed” and activated BuddyPress. Once it’s activated, a new menu group is created at the bottom of the menu tree called “BuddyPress”.
You click on “BuddyPress > Component Setup” and you should see that all the BP components are enabled by default. It is in this admin screen where you can enable and disable individual components.
Does this answer you question?
In reply to: Remove date and author name in BP blogGaetan-
Glad I could help. Good luck with your site.
In reply to: Remove date and author name in BP blogAs to your first question:
Look in the loop in your theme’s index.php file for this:
<p class="date"><?php the_time('F j, Y') ?> <em><?php _e( 'in', 'buddypress' ) ?> <?php the_category(', ') ?> <?php printf( __( 'by %s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink($post->post_author) ) ?></em></p>Make the necessary changes.
As to your second question, look for this also in the same file:
<div class="widget" id="latest-news">
<h2 class="widgettitle"><?php _e( 'Blog', 'buddypress' ) ?></h2>Change the word “Blog” To whatever you like.
Please note: if you plan on sticking with BuddyPress’ standard themes, you will lose these changes the next time you upgrade BP. So, either you live with that and make the changes again with each upgrade, you create your own custom themes (possibly by simply copying the current themes and renaming them), or you never write over the theme files when upgrading.
The second option is the best in my opinion. But, with each upgrade, you should still evaluate any changes that may have been made in the new standard theme as they could be important.
In reply to: Directories SearchBefore I updated my BP install last week, I noticed some similar odd search behavior. I, too, was running r1324 before I updated to the then latest trunk. After updating, the issue has gone away. I have not looked in trac to see if there was a specific bug that fixed this or if it was something else I did
However, if you have not yet read this article, you may find it interesting.
Ninh-
I’ve looked at your site and of course cannot duplicate the problem without logging in. But, that’s okay.
You mention that you’re using a custom theme. Read the first post in this thread, paying close attention to the parts that talk about custom themes. Also, there are more posts within this thread that discuss theme issues that could apply.
It appears that you are still using BuddyPress 1.0_RC1. I cannot remember if any of these issues apply to RC1. Perhaps someone with longer BP experience can chime in.
In reply to: Latest WPMU Rev & latest BP Rev not workingBurt-
My brain hurts too!
In reply to: Latest WPMU Rev & latest BP Rev not workingOkay, putting aside the subdomain versus subdirectory issue for a second, you state that:
…the bp link in the menu works but where is says “disbale components using below form” nothing shows
It sounds like BuddyPress is not activated. With the 1.0_RC2 changes, BuddyPress is now considered a single WPMU plugin. You must first login to the WPMU backend as site admin and then go to Plugins > Installed and make sure that BuddyPress is activated.
Once it’s activated, a new menu group is created at the bottom of the menu tree called “BuddyPress”. You click on BuddyPress > Component Setup and you should see that all the BP components are enabled by default. It is in this admin screen where you can enable and disable individual components.
If you’ve already activated BuddyPress, then something is clearly wrong. Have you double checked to make sure that you copied all the BP component files and folders (minus the theme folders) into the /wp-content/plugins/ folder? Did you install the BP suite into the /wp-content/mu-plugins/ folder instead?
If the BP install locations and files are in their proper place, then I would recommend deactivating BuddyPress then deleting the entire BP directory and try reinstalling the BP plugin suite again and see what happens.
