I missed this party somehow, but wanted to offer my support.

Wherever this party moves to, I’m there.

It shouldn’t be running that slow to begin with for any reason. Sounds like something is gummed up somewhere. Install YSlow for Firefox and see exactly which script is taking the longest and let us know what you find.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

There are some plugins that exist to mimic this functionality, but no, nothing exactly like what you describe yet.

The problem is translating post content, like categories, post titles, and body copy. There would need to be multiple versions of each item with the same slug, which isn’t currently possible with WordPress at the core.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

Alphabetical search certainly should work. If it’s not, it’s usually some sort of modified javascript code that’s gumming things up.

Profile pictures giving error reports in your error logs? You mention automatic resizing so are you talking about uploading avatars? I don’t quite follow…

Because BuddyPress is not even 1.0 yet, it means that a lot of the code has evolved and changed quite a bit since the beginning. There have been almost 1400 code revisions since tracking started.

Choosing to develop a plugin for BuddyPress right now means staying pretty close to the bleeding edge of the development cycle because chances are that your plugin could be broken tomorrow through no fault of your own. Most current plugin authors are aware of this, and there has been pretty good response time to bugs and fixes. Usually within a day or so.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

Resolved. GJ Paul.

If you can afford to wait until RC2 comes out before installing BuddyPress, it’s coming soon and might save you some headaches as well. And I don’t just mean like someday soon, I mean like really soon.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

My first time installing WPMU, I did it wrong 4 times.

A crucial tip. When you uninstall WPMU, delete the database tables, delete the files, and delete your site cookies. Otherwise you’ll have headaches if they are out of alignment.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

Candace81,

I’m going to guess that WordPress MU 2.7.1 doesn’t play nicely with BuddyPress RC1.

However, I’m going to try them out and see if I run into these same issues.

If you can give me a half-hour to install and configure and get back here, that would be awesome.

Worst case scenario, I’ll point you in the direction of how to download the trunk. BuddyPress RC2 will most likely be out by the end of the week (still have some minor things to test and clean-up before release.)

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

Grandslambert,

In your buddypress-user/functions.php, take out ALL of the code besides what you need to make your sidebar(s) for your widgets.

Forgot to mention that little part.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

That sounds like an ajax issue to me, not related to 1and1 hosting.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

Hugs all around!

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

I do what I can with what I got.

My wish is that site wide activation could magically turn normal per blog plugins into mu global ones.

I.E. one set of settings that encompass all installs.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

Haha no you’re not, you’re learning.

Plus you have Hugh Laurie in your profile picture, so you can’t be THAT stupid.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

I understand what you want to do, but there isn’t an easy way to do this. Members can name their blogs whatever they want, plus you can create blogs for whatever reason you want. BuddyPress is the only the exoskeleton of your site. WPMU is responsible for building the URL’s for your member blogs. The closest possible solution to what you want to do that I can think of, would be to insert “memberblogs/” before the content of each new blogs “site-url” in the wp_*_options table, but to be honest I’m not sure if it works that way.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

No sweat.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

Hard to say, but I’ve had bad luck making BuddyPress work on php4 since I started using it.

By “bad,” I guess I mean “no.” Haha!

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

This should just be under

Site Admin->BuddyPress->Full Name field name

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

In my .htaccess file, I had to force 1and1 to provide php5:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

To get rid of 500 errors and out of memory errors, in my /wp-admin/ I put this in php.ini (create it if it doesn’t exist):

memory=40MB

upload_max_filesize=10M;

post_max_size=20M;

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

I’m not sure what you did exactly to make this so broken, but I can tell you how I did what you’re trying to do.

1. Copy “buddypress-home” theme to a temporary folder.
2. Rename “buddypress-home” to “buddypress-user”.
3. Delete “buddypress-user/home.php”.
4. Open “buddypress-user/style.css” and at the very least, rename the theme to include something with the words “User Theme”
5. Upload this theme, and activate ONLY it in your admin panel.
6. Make sure that theme is the ONLY active theme. This ensures users will only get that theme provided to them at default.

That should do it.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that just: <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

As an example of how to hook into the existing WordPress functions, make a file called something like “new-blog-defaults.php” and put it in your WPMU directory. (You can name this whatever you’d like.)

Inside that file, put…

function nbd_widgets()  {

// You need to know the names of the sidebar(s) and widget(s) you want to add.

// This example inserts Categories and Tag Cloud widgets into the "blog-sidebar" Sidebar



add_option( 'widget_categories',

array( 'title' => 'My Categories' ));

add_option("sidebars_widgets",

array("blog-sidebar" => array("categories", "tag_cloud")));

}

add_action('populate_options', 'nbd_widgets');

The last line is where this function actually gets called. It automatically hooks itself into the existing “populate_options” function that WordPress calls when a blog is created. You can use the “wpmu_new_blog” function to perform other similar actions.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

Change your rewrite base to “/” and check back.

Only reason to have that be anything else, is if your hosting WPMU inside a sub-directory off the root.
