Reply To: WPMU BP Install
Thanks @Chouf1 forsuch a detailed response. Unfortunately WPMU is not an issue, I’m quite familiar with it and run it on alternative sites already. My current project is where my difficulties began.
WPMU with multiple sub-sites and mapped domains are all pre-configured and ready to roll. (Users can register, I can upload and post images etc etc)
BUDDYPRESS: The problem I have experienced over the past week has been Buddypress & bbPress is failing me.
What I’m therefore trying to achieve, or at least figure out is exactly why….
Every time I step forward, from the point I’m at right now and install Buddypress with bbPress things fail! Problems I’m experiencing are as follows.
An inability to edit, spam, stick etc. Any ‘Sitewide Forum’ – (Group forums are fine)
E-mails do not get sent to subscribed users.
Site registration fails, email is sent but link with auth code in fails and no user is created.
What I’m trying to do here on my 6th complete new install is break things down step by step to see if its a process issue.
Theme is fully BP & bbP friendly, and all pages display excellently when BP/bbP is installed.
For the record I can also state that I use Buddypress on an alternate singular site with WP, no issues whatsoever.
This is my first BP WPMU Install and I can only say its been a complete nightmare, thus far. Hence why I asked the questions I have, trying to breakdown every aspect of my install, process of elimination.
Questions again –
Does one enable define ( ‘bp_enable_multiblog’ true ) prior to BP installation or directly afterward, or does it not matter.
Should one network enable BP & bbPress upon installation or not?
I have followed The Definitive Guide To BuddyPress & bbPress Configuration, over at http://labzip.com to the letter also, but on the last five occasions my WPMU BP bbP istall has failed, as described above.
Yes, savage troubleshooting headache…
P.S- Thanks for your Root Blog explination 🙂 Much appreciated.
