BuddyPress.org

If you can revert to an older version of the .htaccess, it might be worth a test. 500 errors suggest that WP is not even loading in the absence of BP, which suggests that there might be something funky happening at the htaccess level.

Simple enough to try but you don’t overwrite these types of files ever always change it’s file name i.e turn it into a backup then upload another version, it’s a basic *nix principle.

Yes, I think I understand what you are suggesting. But I am saying that it is not possible at the moment. Groups, forums, etc, are universal in a BuddyPress installation. With some customization, you might be able to show certain groups only on a certain subdomain (using the BP setting BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG) but I don’t know of any plugin that will do this out of the box.

I agree and I attempted to limit the sub pages displayed when we restyled the bp-default dropdowns so one couldn’t nest a series of pages 20 deep as that is in a similar vein to too many top links, trouble is with a theme one can’t really dictate these matters that’s up to the user to manage, but my puzzlement was that this reviewer didn’t understand that and passed the comment that they did, really it wasn’t something that ought to be commented on.

BuddyPress Like plugin might provide similiar feature.
Last year, it announced V0.9 to include statics in Dec., but the developer has been missing since then.

Good websites dont have many links, it just confuses the user.

*puzzled* what does he mean??!! and he also pointed out that having a crap load of menus will kinda break the theme point out to him that a crap load of menus is the result of users adding pages and the way BP-default is coded, horizontal links are never wise with dynamic sites where you can not account for links generated. Using the new WP menus the user can control this aspect I thought @modemlooper was reviewing BP submissions?

Have you done any customizations to .htaccess?

Thanks for the clarification. That makes a lot more sense.

Go to Dashboard > BuddyPress > General Settings, and look at the setting for “Hide admin bar for logged out users?:” Does it say Yes? Try switching it to No.

I’m guessing that users are not being added automatically to the BP root blog (a situation which would have been irrelevant in non-MS mode). It’s possible that either the setting I mention above, or something about the way that WP eMember handles membership in an MS network, is interfering with the way that the admin bar is conditionally displayed.

At the moment, there is no way to do exactly what you are trying to do, without having totally separate WP installations. BuddyPress gets its member data from the WP user table, which is shared among all sites. That is, there is no way to distinguish between a france.example.com and a germany.example.com site from BP’s point of view – each site will show the same members.

That said, have you considered using BP groups for countries? The URLs wouldn’t look exactly how you want, but everything else would be similar.

It’s a pretty good idea to deactivate the BP theme before deactivating BP, though strictly speaking it should not be necessary. Having a BP theme active while deactivating BP will mean that visitors to your site will see a white screen. However, the Dashboard of your site should still be available. You should *not* be seeing 500 errors when you attempt to visit http://example.com/wp-admin.

I’m not sure what cloudflare is – I looked at their site and I don’t get it. Is it a caching plugin of some sort? It’s possible that a caching plugin might cause this sort of problem. Generally, what other plugins are you running?

I still am not clear on what’s happening. Presumably, you are using a BP-compatible theme, such as BuddyPress Default. Users should then be able to access BP content by clicking on links like Members, Groups, etc. What do users see when they view your site? Do they see the theme that you have installed? Or a blank page? What happens when one of these new users attempts to view a page like http://example.com/members? I think that we need a clearer sense of what’s going on before we can suggest a solution.

Do you have any plugins installed that restrict member access to certain parts of the site? For instance, are you using some method of keeping non-members from accessing pages like example.com/members?

@mercime , can you describe the way widget display users?
First of all I have notices that users are shown in random order.
The problem I have at the moment is that I put 22 users to display, but only 20 are displayed. Does it mean that there is a 20 users to show limit? Does it mean that remaining 2 users will be shown later, when next shuffle would happen?

Seems there may have been a country list in version 1.0 : https://svn.buddypress.org/branches/1.0/bp-xprofile/prebuilt-fields/
