There’s just so many things wrong going on, have to go at it a step at a time. You need to give additional information like WP 3.0.1 is multisite or single? The home URL goes to UShareNH.com/1/ so you installed WP in /1/ subdirectory or is your BP installed in secondary blog? Also, almost all of the links in your home page goes to HTTP Error 403.18 page. It’s more likely your server configuration that’s throwing off the site – server can’t handle the load, crashing etc.Was WP functioning well before you installed BuddyPress? https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/ Special check on your WordPress configuration. If not, then you have to resolve that at WordPress.org forums before installing BP.

Otto playing around the backend probably It’s working now.

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

@whitbyglennk installing BP at the root is the ideal scenario. However, it can be installed in a secondary blog of installation as well. Rephrasing @LPH2005‘s question earlier, what do you have at the root of your public folder that you cannot install WP 3.0.1/BP at root?

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

Yes, you can install WP 3.0.1 in physical subdomain and go multisite in subdirectory mode. See BuddyPress configurations available here:

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

As rogercoathup mentioned, before installing BuddyPress double-check if your WP installation is up to the task.

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

@conectcahul glad you worked it out.
As an aside, I remember that topic which you linked to from a year ago Just saying, Sitewide tags plugin rules

Not quite sure what you mean, but if you’ve deleted this line with wp_list_pages in header.php then you need to add it back,

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

@fjrichman if you import the adminbar.css from the bp-default theme into your theme’s style.css, there won’t be any gap if you disable the BP Admin Barl , The bp-admin-bar.css you imported takes care of adding the necessary space at the top when you enable bp admin bar. When you disable bp admin bar, your theme will go back to original setting without extraneous gap.

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

The simple fact is that you need the common hook, “, in footer.php of all your themes so that the bp admin bar will show up in user blogs in the same manner — inserting the bp admin bar at top of screen and pushing down the layout in the right amount.

There will be a couple or so themes where it won’t look the same because of style done on body/wrapper area. When that happens, ask WP.org forums or here to help you out with the CSS of that specific theme. Or, you can install the Firebug add-on for Mozilla and work on the style for those themes yourself.

Pretty permalinks is required for BP, therefore Apache Module mod_rewrite MUST be enabled.

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

Go to Settings > Permalinks and set to anything except default.

There’s none. Forums are associated to groups. You should read this:

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

BuddyPress is installed in main site, i.e. http://www.mysite.com, by default.
You need this to set up BP in secondary blog – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

@warut – upgraded to 1.5 in test install and “lost” the logo I uploaded in previous version. Re-uploaded site logo and it’s behaving well. Thank you.

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

“The only problem I’m having is nobody can “create an account” or cannot register”

If you’re on WP Multisite – go to Super Admin > Options > Allow users to register
If you’re on single WP – go to Settings > General Settings > Membership – allow anyone to register

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

This is more a WordPress question rather than a BuddyPress one – https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL – remember to back up your database first

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

The problem is not normally found in sound installations. Deactivate all plugins including BuddyPress. Then check if you can access the blogs you created as Super Admin. If that works, activate BuddyPress and BP plugins one by one.

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

Add to your style.css

`div.avatar-block img { float: left; width: 50px; height: 50px; }`

add margin to taste.

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

@conectcahul deactivate bp-group-management plugin first and see if erratic behavior disappears.
Sitewide tags plugin is a good plugin, and works for me.

Hi @netweblogic. First requirement is that people can post events from the frontend, second is being able to set privacy levels for the events – public, for members only, etc, third is that at least one map can be attached to the event, etc. etc. etc.There are already a couple of feature-rich BuddyPress events plugins in the WP repo:
EventPress – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/eventpress/
Jet Event System – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jet-event-system-for-buddypress/
Good luck.

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

You could use a plugin https://buddypress.org/community/groups/add-all-nav-links-to-bp-adminbar/

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

@apeatling @johnjamesjacoby @boonebgorges please

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

Additionally, if you want members to be post in frontend of blog where BP is installed, you can use either
