BuddyPress.org

@doug.daulton – Just saw your screenshots. Make sure BuddyPress is activated network wide. See if that fixes your problem.

*Edit: If that doesn’t work, you can temporarily set your BP_AVATAR_URL and BP_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH in…[Read more]

Okay, I think John is working on a fix for this:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2493

It’s a known bug, sorry for making you jump through hoops!

The guide didn’t tell you to move the .htaccess file. You need to edit it.
Read the “Update Rewrite Rules” section in the guide again.

The guide also told you to move /wp-includes/ms-files.php to /wp-content/.

Okay, then follow the guide from the previous thread I mentioned:
http://developersmind.com/2010/06/17/upgrading-wordpress-mu-2-9-2-to-wordpress-3-0/

Read and implement everything.

Chances are you’re missing the .htaccess edit and moving /wp-includes/ms-files.php to /wp-content/.

I upgraded it last week

What is “it”? Did you upgrade from WPMU to WP 3.0? I’m not talking about BuddyPress.

Follow the instructions first, primarily you need to edit the .htaccess file and you need to move /wp-includes/ms-files.php to /wp-content/.

FYI, avatars are stored in the uploads directory, which differs depending on what flavor of WordPress you’re using.

For single WP, that would be /wp-content/uploads/.
For multisite, that would be…[Read more]

Did you upgrade from WPMU?

FYI, I deleted your other forum posts from the other thread. Please do not hijack other people’s threads!
Thanks!

Why would you create a new thread? Please reply in the previous thread you made:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/wordpress-3-0-buddypress/forum/topic/can-buddypress-work-with-headway-wp-theme

Avatars are not stored in the DB.

Doug, it looks like you upgraded from WPMU 2.9.2 to WP 3.0. Chances are you did not fully accomplish all the upgrading steps:

Follow everything listed there.

@alanchrishughes – It sounds like you want to integrate a standalone version of bbPress with WordPress, I’ve already given you directions on how to do this. Please do not hijack an old thread, post a new one to discuss your problems, or go on the bbPress forums for help. *Edit: Here’s another guide that might be easier to […]

Get rid of the “float:left” declaration in your stylesheet for #container.

When you upgraded WPMU to WP 3.0, did you correctly upgrade?

It also sounds like your BP install is corrupted. Here’s a guide to upgrade BP:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/upgrading-from-10x/

BuddyPress has been compatible with single-user WordPress since BP v1.2. Re: wordpress themes – any WP theme can be made compatible with BuddyPress, but not out of the box. You can try the BP Template Pack plugin combined with Headway: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/ Most likely, some tweaking will need to be made. If you…[Read more]

@kumo99 – You might want to take a look at this:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/add-field-description-to-fullname-core/#post-57735

Much easier and doesn’t require copying the registration page template to your child theme.

This is a known bug on buddypress.org.
We’re looking at trying to rectify this in the near future.

How do WP plugins work in BP?

Like any other plugin in WordPress! They’re separate entities. So let’s say you decide to use an Events Calendar plugin, that plugin will be in its own little world unless you decide to hack it to be more in rhythm with BuddyPress (display names, avatars, etc.).

@dunc – If you want a global variable, then (surprise, surprise!) use a global variable or a define. In wp-config.php or /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php, you can either do this: global $my_var; $my_var = WHATEVER; or: define( 'MY_VAR', WHATEVER ); Then in your page template or anywhere else, you do this: global $my_var; if (…[Read more]
