@joamos the best thing is to isolate the image upload problem first. Deactivate BuddyPress and other BP plugins. If image upload process does not work in WordPress, it won’t work in BuddyPress.

So upload images to posts in main blog and sub-blogs with BP deactivated and see if media appears in main blog and in sub-blogs. If it doesn’t work, check out this thread – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/164999?replies=1 or find resolution in https://wordpress.org/support/

From the point you deleted BuddyPress plugins, themes, and database tables, it’s all WordPress now. If something’s wrong with your WP Theme, reupload your backup of WP themes, that’s all there is to it.

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Looks like you’re missing admin and theme stylesheets.
Re-upload WP 3.0 files and folders via FTP or cpanel. Then re-upload BuddyPress plugin as well. Refresh browser and check if bad behavior mentioned above still happens.

WP 3.0 – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/moderate-new-blogs/

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jet-quickpress/ as well

Which, even if you do not allow creation of sub-blogs will allow users to post to main blog – in effect making the single blog a multi-author site. You either set all new users as Contributors at least (you need to approve each post before it gets published) or as Authors (users get to publish asap).

@intimez I tested https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jet-quickpress/ on WPMU 2.9.2 and WP 3.0 with BP 1.2.5.2 and it’s working as advertised, it is BP compatible. In addition, if blog creation is enabled, there is a dropdown for which blog/subblog you want your post to be published in. I haven’t tried One Quick Post yet.

@deanjrobinson – cool functions, almost as cool as the Fluency Admin plugin
I would like to suggest adding categories to your Groups i.e. Help Groups for Plugins, Help Group for Themes, etc. for better organization.
Cheers.

Rename /plugins/buddypress folder to e.g. /plugins/buddy and you’ll get back your site.

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Two things come to mind:

1. Create a new plugin for a customized Prayer component
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-skeleton-component/
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/creating-a-custom-buddypress-component/
or
2. Why not create a Group called e.g. “Prayers” or “Prayer Requests” instead so that way you rely only on native BP group creation.
You could change the design/layout of your Prayer Group Pages via a plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-css/ or by adding custom body_class to your Prayer Group Pages and then tweak CSS in your theme’s style.css file

My bad, replace what I gave above: xx div#sidebar ul.item-list li { clear: left; }
with
ul#groups-list li { clear: left; }

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

“can’t figure out what happened”
Did you just upgrade WP or BP? Did you add/delete plugin? Did you install new theme?

Add to your theme’s style.css
div#content ul.item-list li { clear: left; padding: 20px 0px; }
div#sidebar ul.item-list li { clear: left; }

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

At least two ways – assuming you’re using child theme of bp-default:
1. in style.css only
body.registration #sidebar { display: none; }
body.registration div#content div.padder { margin-right: 0px; border-right: none; }

2. Template change plus one line in style.css
copy register.php from bp-default/registration/register.php to your child-theme-folder/registration/register.php
replace div class=”padder” with div class=”padderwide”
delete line [?php locate_template( array( ‘sidebar.php’ ), true ) ?]

in style.css add
.padderwide { padding: 20px; }

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/registered-users-only/

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

1. Did you change settings like BuddyPress > General Settings – Hide for logged out users?
2. Did you change your theme? Did you check if your new theme had wp_footer() in footer.php?

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@sbrajesh I am happy to stand corrected, thank you

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

“could the activity, groups and forums, and blogs are placed on separate blogs, but the member pages are only on the main blog”
– No, BP components together on main blog or a sub-blog

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Edit – too many browsers open, wrong post

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@DJPaul “… if not sooner”

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

It already is on the left. See bp-default theme used in http://testbp.org/

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

You will need to go over the conditional tags for WordPress and BuddyPress sections

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

They’re preparing for BP 1.3 most likely, if not sooner. I think it’s cool that Ptah Dunbar has joined Justin’s team as Ptah already had his own http://wpframework.com/. Cooler still, back from a long absence, Tung Do a.k.a. Small Potato of http://www.wpdesigner.com fame is with them as well. Kudos to them all.

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

What did you install before you had that problem? If plugin, rename the folder of the plugin you installed in plugins folder via FTP or cpanel. If that doesn’t work, access your database and check if you’re still admin.
