BuddyPress.org

@flyveren Okay, I will do as you suggest. I did look around in my db and I couldn’t differentiate the buddypress tables from the rest of the tables. I’m going to read up on this.

A fella like me that’s new at all of this, I don’t need the Beta version. I have successfully re-installed 1.6.4 and everything is working great. I really like this BuddyBoss theme. My mother is going to like it, too, when she sees it.

I’m glad to hear that you have this theme as well. If I have any questions, I will send you a mention.

I do have one concern that although everything is fine now, when it comes time to upgrade to the newest BP version when that time comes, that everything will go as planned. I think there’s something to be said for allowing WordPress the chance to install plugins and themes on its own instead of using FileZilla. I would imagine the final version of BP will be slimmed down to clear entry into WP. Either that or WP will update just prior and relax the upload limitation a bit and allow a slightly bigger BP folder to come up and install.

I’m going to enjoy my new theme and get building my social site. If you, or anyone, thinks I should clear those tables and reload 1.6.4, please let me know. I’m not afraid to try it. If you think the tables are fine — because my site is running fine — I’ll leave then alone. I just hope when the day comes to upgrade that I’ll be okay. By then, I’ll have a great deal of time invested in my site.

Thanks for taking the time and helping!

@flyveren I got your message by e-mail that you added me as guest, just before I deactivated 1.6.4. I’m not able to upload 1.7Beta1 while inside of WP. I get a message that the file is too big.

I just finished uploading 1.7 via FileZila, and when I went to activate it, I received this error:

Warning: require(/home/*****/public_html/gumpolen/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-template-loader.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/*****/public_html/gumpolen/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-1.7Beta1/bp-loader.php on line 401

I somehow need to reset WP so that I can upload 1.7 as a brand new install. Would you have any suggestions?

My BuddyBoss theme works perfectly on 1.7Beta1 on another site of mine where I practice. Are there some core BP files that I can delete on http://www.gumpolen.com so that BP installs as if it’s the first time — when I re-upload it?

I will try to install it again and see what happens.

When I installed 1.7 Beta1, I simply deleted the current version and uploaded the Beta with FileZila and then activated it. I think I didn’t have the Beta working correctly by installing it this way.

Yep. Okay, I couldn’t post for a bit. Yes, I’m working on a problem where I have four posts showing up in the buddypress areas. Everything was perfect until I made a post. Four posts show up, whether as an admin or a regular user.

I’m installing the current version of BP and I will test my new theme with this. I will post back shortly.

Thanks @flyveren

Can I post now?

We have done the following to help our BuddyPress along:

(1) Added this code to wp-config.php
`/**
* source: http://wpdude.com/wordpress-performance-tuning-tips
*/

define(‘ENABLE_CACHE’, true);`

(2) Followed Michael Eisenwasser’s suggestions located at http://www.buddyboss.com/buddypress-speed-and-performance/

(3) installed and run “Optimize Database” plugin

(4) installed and run “Hyper Cache” plugin

(5) installed and run “Better Delete Revision” plugin

Interesting comment @Asynaptic (although it should probably be in its own topic thread).

We have been building an intranet site using BuddyPress over the past 3-4 months. We have 40+ members currently piloting it. We are a week or so away from opening it up to our entire organization of 200+ people.

One of the major issues I have been focused on is site speed and performance. I have been wrestling over and over with it to understanding if it is inherent in BP or has something to do with our server. We host about 60-70 other sites on the server and none of them perform as slowly as BP does.

I’ve done everything possible including all the recommendations at http://www.buddyboss.com/buddypress-speed-and-performance/

It runs better, but we still get feedback from the community every now and again on how slow it is loading some of our static pages as well and the dynamic ones.

I am using BuddyBoss Theme which allows wall posting.

@shanebp – a coincidence – I’m using the BuddyBoss theme! But, it doesn’t have a ‘Latest Photos’ or ‘Videos’ section on the Member Profile pages.

@Henry – I actually already have the BP Activity Plus plugin installed and need to uninstall it because the BuddyBoss theme already handles that stuff pretty well (just paste the URL in). Unfortunately, uploading photos/videos doesn’t provide what my client needs. They want a site visitor to be able to go to a member’s profile page and see photos, videos, and music that the member specifically posted for this purpose. In a nutshell…this client wants MySpace : (

This is probably a problem with my theme (BuddyBoss). Within the li class=”load-more”, it’s missing the span class=”ajax-loader”.

Where is this loaded? That should give me some clues as to where to find the problem.

Thanks!

@DJPaul, BuddyBoss theme. Site is livingwithhm.com.

I figured it out… it was an issue with buddyboss theme… thanks for your help mercime!
