There could be some potential problems with having your name field ID set at 6, because there could be hardcoded instances elsewhere like you just experienced.

Needs investigating.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

Hey linc, I use exclamations all the time!
So I don’t know what you’re talking about!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

I hate repeating myself but the reason I mention the renaming is BuddyPress uses the “forums” slug by default, so if you installed standalone bbPress at /forums/, there will be a slug conflict.

Did you even install standalone bbPress?

On a properly-integrated bbPress and WordPress install, you can login at standalone bbPress and you will be logged in at WordPress and vice versa. I’ve done this on multiple occasions and it works.

There appears to be a double “$” on that line.
Remove the second one and it should work again.

Really hate these little bugs that pop up between releases!

PS. saw you on Carson Daly recently!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

pd.field_id = 1 should be the “Name” profile field, so it’s a little weird because that field is required.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

@ronia , @alierkurt –
Try the newest release — BP 1.2.5.1 — and see if that works:
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.1.2.5.1.zip

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

It doesn’t use Comet technology… it’s just a name.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

There could be some formatting issues on that blog post.

Sounds like your server is running on IIS.

If so, read this for a potential solution:

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

If that is your entire .hatccess file, you need to get a full one.
The .htaccess sample listed in the tutorial I linked to should work.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

is_feed() is what you’re looking for. However, I would use travel-junkie’s code as it’s cleaner:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-make-a-private-community/?topic_page=2&num=15#post-44616

Modify this line:
if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() )

with:
if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || is_feed() )

If you install standalone bbPress at example.com/forums/, then you need to tell BuddyPress to change their forum slug to something else. Otherwise, there is a slug collision.

This can be done by adding the following line in wp-config.php:
define ( ‘BP_FORUMS_SLUG’, ‘discussions’ );

“discussions” can be changed to anything you desire. Now your BP group forums will reside at this new slug.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

For BP_AVATAR_URL, try:
http://example.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files

For BP_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH, you can try the snippet posted by 3dperuna:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/bp-1-2-4-custom-bp_avatar_url-change/#post-56257

But in some cases, that isn’t accurate. Only you can enter in the correct filepath.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

You could temporarily try setting the BP_AVATAR_URL and BP_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH in wp-config.php:

Read this for more details:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/bp-1-2-4-custom-bp_avatar_url-change/#post-56257

Change the variables to suit your install and see if that works.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

Yup, that’s doable.
Try the tutorials I’ve linked to.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

Can you copy and paste the image location for a broken group avatar?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

There are limitations, but it depends on what you mean by integration!

The tutorials I listed integrates single sign-on with standalone bbPress and WordPress, which consequently means BuddyPress as well.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

@alierkurt – Is BuddyPress activated network wide on your WP 3.0 install?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

@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 wp-config.php:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/bp-1-2-4-custom-bp_avatar_url-change/#post-56257

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

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!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

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/.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

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/.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

I upgraded it last week

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

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

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 /wp-content/blogs.dir/BP_ROOT_BLOG_ID/files.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

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!
