Thanks, it working fine now. Changed the memory limit on my php.ini from default to 128M.
== I guess whatever happens in 1.7 some migration path will be provided, right? ==
Yes, for sure.
Blank pages and Error warnings about a exhausted memory –> https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/blank-pages/
Me too.
I did a fresh install of WP thru my Host. Updated it to current. Updated the 2011 Theme.
Went to plugins page and picked and installed BP.
Got a couple of different fatal Error warnings about a exhausted memory in one or another .php page… then the same White page at /wp-admin.
Happened on 2 separate fresh installs.
Scared to try 3rd.
Thanks for the reply – that’s a really useful bit of information there.
So makes sense to figure out if I can make bbPress more Buddypress like by editing the templates, as a next step, then. So frustrating, as the members page works really well with ordering, filtering, searching, all via AJAX, all working with pagination! Going to be hard to match that.
I guess whatever happens in 1.7 some migration path will be provided, right?
To be considered in your decision-making, Group Forums will be migrated over to Sitewide Forums come BP 1.7 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3598 so personally, I would opt for #3 or wait for BP 1.7
You’re welcome
== the defalt doesnt look so great for that. ==
The bp-default theme can be tweaked to look like a gaming theme if you know some CSS/HTML at the very least. Change background color to dark/black, add some silver/gold medals/otherstuff with some cool header font/s and you’re good to go.
Or, you could always download a regular WordPress theme with the look you want. Then you will only have to install/activate BP Template Pack plugin and go through the Appearance > BP Compatibility process. We have a list of template-packed WP theme to date https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes
I just checked your site. There’s only one navigation menu in your installation, the main navigation under the site title. Aside from that, you’re using the Suffusion theme which is a theme framework supported readily by the theme author. I suggest that you post this question at the Suffusion theme forums or at https://wordpress.org/tags/suffusion
> If i change the permalink to other structure, my custom categories are redirects to error page.
You *need* non-default permalinks for BuddyPress. Deactivate BuddyPress, switch to the TwentyEleven theme, pick a permalink choice from the Settings > Permalinks page. Then, check that access posts and pages.
@mercime this is my blog http://wgettips.com/cm/
please check it. there is a primary navigation bar, and secondary navigation bar, i want to put the secondary navigation pages in primary navigation,
my profile and my home should show in primary navigation bar,
I hope you understand
Thank you. We are aware of this issue. In the meantime, you can use Google with buddypress.org and keywords/phrases.
Most of the CSS issues can be resolved by adding the styles I mentioned in final instruction
D. Final note: Copy the style modifications for some BP elements https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste those at the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet, then adjust to taste.
The installation here is pretty customized. To test out default BP features, log in BuddyPress test site at http://testbp.org
WP/BP versions? Single or WP multisite? Have you tried re-uploading the BuddyPress plugin folder manually (FTP/FileMgr/cpanel/etc)?
@rogercoathup I always knew you had good taste 
Cheers.
Going into”My Account” > “Messages” for example (when logged in as ‘test’ this is what I see http://fifaadvocate.com/members/test/messages/ ) the tabs displayed below “Activity Profile Messages Friends Groups Settings” get cut off at Settings. Other alignment problems are present when you visit the “Members” tab in the menu under my Header ( HOME: / ABOUT THE FIFA ADVOCATE/MEMBERS/ACTIVITY/GROUPS or http://fifaadvocate.com/members/ ) . The “Search Members” bar is cut off at the top, once you click on Order By: Last Archive, the options overlap with the right side bar, and the friends request sent next to the Fifa Advocate member is cut off by the right side bar. These were the alignment problems I was referring to, not about the “My Account” drop down menu at the top of the screen, as that displays fine also on my Mac running Safari as well as Firefox.
Multi-domain isn’t built into WordPress, so how can BuddyPress know what domains it could use or make available (in a drop down box, for example)?
== I am still left with one problem in the main posts area of the webpages. The Buddypress bar that displays “Activity Profile Messages Friends Groups Settings” gets cutoff half way through the ‘Settings’ by my site’s right sidebar. ==
I’m logged in. The dropdown from the BP bar from the “My Account” menu shows up completely. In other words, it does not get cut off half way through. Checked this using Chrome, Firefox and IEabove. What browser are you using?
Also the dropdown opens up over the left sidebar not right sidebar. Are you referring to something else?
Hi again
on the new version, this code is on lines 553-556 of /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-template.php
` // If this is a subdomain install, set up the site inside the root domain.
if ( is_subdomain_install() )
$domain = $blogname . ‘.’ . preg_replace( ‘|^www.|’, ”, $current_site->domain );
`
questions are still open,
– why force on the main domain ? (if we want to have it on a synonym domain)
– is there any side effect if I simply comment out those lines? (the behaviour mentioned above was due to something else, but still want to know if no problem to comment them out)
thank you very much in advance
@mercime – yes, I paid them a lot of money to feature that video on the home page – I knew you’d appreciate it
Hi Shane – thanks for the feedback.
The site has now passed 75,000 members, but traffic has scaled back with the pausing of a business funding competition. There are some other new features coming online in the next few weeks though, so we’ll see how that affects server performance.
The site is being cloud hosted, in conjunction with Harriman House’s online presence – a publishing company and part owner of Enterprise Nation.
Unfortunately, I don’t have too many details on their hosting setup – with our efforts concentrated on front end strategic features of the site. I can report that initial hosting on a reasonably specced VPS box ran into some difficulties coping with the number of sign ups.
Best regards, Roger
looks like we may have to wait for the next buddypress upgrade which might include an editor….
Hi there –
really pleased you like the way we layed out the members directory on Stuconnect.
We’ve experimented with a few different directory setups – the row of ’tiles’ being one of our favourites. We’ve used a similar approach on http://www.enterprisenation.com/members , and on our latest BuddyPress based site: http://www.worshipministry.com/members
The standard layout in bp-default is not very space efficient. The ’tile’ approach allows us to show more members in the same screen real estate, as well (in our opinion) as looking cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing.
It’s a combination of work on two template files in the theme: /members/index.php and /members/members-loop.php . In our sites, we tend to rework all of the theme from scratch, but do stick with a similar folder-file structure as bp-default – as well as re-using some of the basic PHP loop structures.
The clever work on the http://stuconnect.co.uk/members/ page is in creating the filter by University on the directory – we grab the name of the University from the query vars, and then do a little pre-filtering of the user IDs before passing them into the member loop (some restrictions on the BuddyPress loop filtering prevent us doing this in one step).
Best regards, Roger. http://21inspired.com
