No no no, that’s fabulous, many thanks @hnla! I understand the logic of it all now. I’ll get to work on setting all that up now, and see how I go.
when you say “if you are using a child theme” do you mean do I have cp-twentyten as the current theme in admin/appearance/themes? No, I don’t. I have the current theme BuddyPress Default 1.2.5.2, and I have the child theme uploaded to wp-content/themes/
I have actuvate the Welcome Pack plugin now, and I still see the rows or Warnings in the boxes next to
Invite the new user to become friends with these people:
and
Ask the new user if they’d like to join these groups:
It says: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach () in /home/goldber3/public_html/MMQG/(etc – I can’t read if it says anything further.)
…. stumped!
Yep, now I could create a new blog with no error messages. So maybe that was the whoe deal. Maybe that events calenda and it’s partner Eventbrite plugin were the problem. I’m going to now reactivate the Welcome Pack plugin and see what happens.
I think I may have found the culprit plugins. I set up a new account, and then went in to set up a new blog. All went OK till the final step, and then I got an error message to do with the Eventbrite plugin, so I disabled it, and tried again. This time I got the following error message when I tried to create a new blog:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/goldber3/public_html/MMQG/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/the-events-calendar.class.php on line 812
I’m going to deactivate this plugin too, and see what happens next.
OK, just got confirmation that my site will read .htaccess files.
Although should I disable the privacy plugins too? And a question I have about activating plugins… I’m not sure if I should be clicking on the “activate” option or the “network activate” option when I install new plugins.
ok I’ll do that again Paul. maybe i missed something.
yes I did follow all the steps exactly, and I added the lines to .htcaccess and wp-config.
I just checked my .htcaccess and it looks like this:# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]# END WordPress
So everything I added according to tools/network is there. What should I do now? I don’t think it’s the plugins. I already tried that. Where’s the option to show the blogs? I have been going through every single menu item over and over and I cannot find where I switched that off.
Now, I’ve just upgraded to WP 3.0.1, and updated the network too. I wonder if I should at this point install the Twenty Ten 1.1 theme as the main theme, given that TwentyTen CP is in use too. What do you think? That might handle my header image issue, and perhaps make things run more smoothly.
@Modemlooper so if I’ve installed the TwentyTen child theme, should I also have that as the main theme? I currently have the Default BP theme as my main theme, and the TwentyTen as child. Is that not workable? Or do you mean that I need to create a new child theme based on the Default theme as well as keeping the TwentyTen child theme?
So if it will delete all the files during an update, then what’s the point of customizing? I don’t understand that. And won’t the same thing happen then when I customize the child theme and later apply the update to it?
I am using WP 3.0.1 and BP 1.2.5.2
I am definitely sure that others can see my admin, and not just some parts of it. One fo the other users and I were trying to sort this out, and she coudl see exactly what I see. She actually accessed my admin where she could see the Super Admin links, and she accessed these through one of the other member’s admin area. I suspect the problem lies in that when users register, they end up not as independent users, but as users on the main site ie. mine. When I look at the “sites” area in my admin, i can see that there are many users whose site address is http://melbournemodernquiltguild.com, and then there are a few (ie. a minority) with site addresses as http://melbournemodernquiltguild.com/username. The only thing we’ve been able to establish as to how come this is, is that it seems that if users create a blog at the same time as when they first create their account, they end up with their own site address, ie. http://site/username. Otherwise, if they first create their account, then at a later time create a blog, they end up as a user on http://sitename.com. And I cannot figure out why that is.These are the plugins I have currently have activated:

“The plugins page is not visible to normal users. It must be activated first. Activate”I haven’t done that because I’m concerned that other users who can get into my admin area will do something bad.
OK, no problem everyone, I’ve figured it out. I just had to disable Global Forum Directory in BuddyPress –> Settings, and now the tab is gone too. Pity, I’d prefer to have that enabled, and see all the topics. Dilemma is that it’d be really great to have that global forum directory I think, we’d just have to change our groups from private to public, and I don’t know if we want to do that.
@Andrea_r I currently have the default theme installed, and have the Twenty Ten child theme is in wp-content/themes. I’m not sure now if I’ve done it all working properly. Is it better to have the Twenty Ten theme if I’m using the CP version too? I’m still so unclear about all this. I’ve read the post about creating a child theme, but I don’t know if I need to do that or not. My site isn’t “live” yet, ie. registrations are closed, so I can still change things around if I need to. I’m just not sure what to do about that.
OK, I’ll take a look. Thanks so much
Oh boy rossagrant, it’s like the mastercard ad – a good pair of eyes – priceless! Thanks so much!!!
HeleneSorry, you lost me techguy. I have child-theme Twenty Ten installed. Not sure though how to do what nit3watch suggested in the child theme.
Brilliant! Thanks nit3watch, I’ll give that a go.
Hi, I’m having enormous difficulty with this plugin. I’m pretty much a newbie to buddypress. I have the default theme installed, and the latest version of BP, and of the BP Groupblog plugin. My host company just added a Wildcard DNS, thinking this would solve the problem which is that, each time I try to create a group blog, I come to the error page “Oops! This link appears to be broken”.
Now, a few hours after the Wildcard DNS was added, I’m still getting the error message, and I still cannot create a group blog for any of my 3 new groups, which have all decided to act very strangely now. I can’t see them listed on the sidebar widget any more. My BP site is only a couple days old, all we’ve done is allow new members to join at Contributor level, and we have a few members who are at Editor level but are instructed not to touch or do anything at all to the site, just join the groups I’ve created.
I am really struggling with this, and I need to get it done before we lose our group on 20th July when Ning starts charging.
Any assistance will be hugely appreciated.
Helene
