Did you go through the Installation Wizard after activating BuddyPress?

I tried to use it with a multisite install, and the Private Buddypress plugin kept locking all the sites down.

I have the same exact problem. I tried installing on a site WP 3.3.1/BP 1.5.5. and got this after installing the buddypress plugin manually. Gave up and wiped my entire wordpress install.

Tried again, fresh wordpress, fresh database, and even installed BuddyPress through the admin “add new plugin” area.

Both installs were using the default BP theme that it comes with. All other plugins disabled/deleted via ftp/or for the fresh build never installed any at all (other than BP)

Couldn’t get it to work in any possible manner.

so where do I get a copy of BuddyPress 1.2.10? I’m using a brand new install as well and get 404’s when I try to go to the group admin page, the thing made a group page (which is empty).

You’re both right, actually.

First off, HostGator gives you incredibly little memory and CPU on their low-end plans. Like… 64MB RAM and 1/128 of a core. It’s nearly impossible to run anything more than a test site on an entry-level HostGator plan.

I currently run most of my BP sites on MediaTemple, and absolutely love them. They’re a lot more expensive ($25+ a month) than HostGator, but you get what you pay for: 512MB RAM, a full CPU core, root access, and the best technical support I’ve ever worked with.

As for BuddyPress, I’m currently watching a BP site with 1300 members, four active users plus a search robot, and caching disabled, *saturate* the above server.

So I’d say yes, BuddyPress probably has substantial CPU usage.

We’ll learn more about what’s causing that as we get unit testing merged into the BP core …but that’s something we’ll discuss on the TRAC not the forums.

^F^

I’m not aware that BuddyPress uses a significant amount of CPU. From what they’ve told you, seems like they provide total bare minimum, low-end hosting. In all seriousness, I’d consider finding a different (better) host.

If you’re using child theme of bp-default theme https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/

@gospelcast Curious why groups link is going to the webhost’s error page. Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress. Also.check dashboard menu BuddyPress > Pages if your Groups is associated with a Page selected then click save.

@gospelcast let’s take it back to your post

Buddypress is a wordpress plugin, it is designed to be integrated with WordPress – it builds on its core features.

Firstly install WordPress (takes a few moments), add the Buddypress plugin and then work your pre-existing content in.

Because of feature updates, security, bug and reliability fixes it would be somewhat foolish to tear apart the plugin to use with your custom php.

Hello,

Within that plugin you can set it (without having to modify the plugin) to just to friends, private or public, this is done from within the plugin page within wordpress, this then allows the user to chose on the front end.

I might also suggest,

http://bp-tutorials.de/2010/09/private-buddypress

This plugin makes your whole install private to non logged in users, thus creating another layer of privacy.

I hope this helps somewhat.

I managed to solve my problem by:

1. Unchecking the forums component in the BuddyPress Component settings page.
2. Renaming bb-config.php in your WordPress installation root directory to something else (making BuddyPress believe that bbPress is not installed).
3. Re-checking the forums component in the BuddyPress Component settings page.
4. Re-installing the group forum component in the BuddyPress Settings “Forum” tab.

Hope this can help someone else as well, was really frustrating not being able to post anything.

i don’t believe their are any plugins available that would help, so if your uncomfortable with code, you may need to hire a developer.

Otherwise, if your a developer or atleast somewhat comfortable around code then the members loop (1) sounds exactly like what your after with some help from this tutorial (2) from @sbrajesh
