Also I’m running PHP 5.2, not 5.3

This is 1.2.8, but your link says it was fixed in 1.2.6. Maybe there was a regression? I agree about fixing this first.

Cool! Kudos @gunju2221

What BP version are you on? That issue has been fixed https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2759 to address deprecated notice if you’re on PHP 5.3+

== It shouldn’t need 33MB of RAM just to activate the plugin. ==
It depends on server configurations ultimately. I set up a BP install for a friend on a shared hosting plan with 32MB and it’s running well with a private community of 250+ members. Resolve the deprecated notices issues first and see if you still need to increase memory limit.

I am having the same problem, but are you sure this isn’t a bug in the plugin? It shouldn’t need 33MB of RAM just to activate the plugin. I got the same error trying to activate Buddypress 1.2.8 on a fresh install of WordPress 3.1.1 on a high-quality host. There are a huge number of warnings that come before the memory error. Here’s the full output with debug on (I cut out another ~50 warnings on call-time pass-by-reference).

If you want your members to create groups at will, then you could place it in member header area.

This is how to do it If you had created a child theme of bp-default theme and you want to place the create group button where it can be seen right away, you could copy this file https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/member-header.php from the bp-default theme into your child theme’s folder following the directory structure
i.e. wp-content/themes/yourchildtheme/members/single/member-header.php . Then you can insert the code as one of item buttons; and you should check if the Groups component was activated in your install first by adding conditional: if ( bp_is_active( ‘groups’ ) )

Guys, by any chance would you know why neither WP FB auttoconnect, BC-Oauth, or any other twitter or facebook login plugin i try shows in the Buddypress login-box of my website?
http://www.lacotufa.com
It does works in the WP login menu.
Is the theme? Is there something i can add or modify so it appear? thanks!

This topic is pretty rude. Of course people have gotten BuddyPress to run “ok.” You’ve made a couple of posts on this site since joining, and they both seem to be about your dissatisfaction with the default theme. As @hnla says, most sites will want to customise the theme. The BP-Default theme lets you create child themes of it, so you can very easily and quickly put your customisations in place whilst maintaining functionality.

The third-party market for themes (free or premium) is limited, but that’s mainly because BuddyPress is a pretty new project as far as software goes. One of my favourite theme providers for BuddyPress at the moment is StudioPress; they sell a plugin called GenesisConnect which adds BuddyPress compatibility to a lot of Genesis themes — http://www.studiopress.com/plugins/genesis-connect

I’m closing this thread as it’s not very constructive; if you are really asking “where can I find BuddyPress themes”, search the forums or post a new thread asking constructively, and I’m sure people like @pcwriter will come along and share what they’ve found. If you’d like information about Pligg, I’d try their website or forums. When asking on a BuddyPress forum about Pligg, you’re only ever going to get any meaningful feedback from people who have recently used both BuddyPress and Pligg, and I’m willing to bet that’s a pretty small cross-section of users on this site.

Not in core. Someone has written a plugin, https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-group-hierarchy/, but I haven’t used it myself so can’t vouch for compatibility.

I’m going to close this thread as it is over a year old, and the title refers to the 1.1.2 release of BuddyPress. It’s not relevant to have a discussion about modern versions of BuddyPress in a topic for such an old version. Please create a new thread.

Hello,

If mysql 5.5.x was used and the problem occurred in bbpress forum installed within buddypress,
1) delete buddypress.
2) It might be useful to check if the tables for bbpress were deleted. Check also there is no bb-config.php in the web root folder.
3) reinstall buddypress
4) change ‘TYPE = MYISAM’ to ‘ENGINE = MYISAM’ in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-admin/includes/defaults.bb-schema.php before creating groups and using forums.
5) create groups and test forums.

@hnla

You’re absolutely right! For a moment, I had completely forgotten about our prolific friend Brajesh. Shame on me

we run memchahce and eaccelrator,and w3tc and , though we are in dev, it seems to work ok.

Then initial get takes ages (lots of plugins, and not sure which are the worst), and so I have a cron that runs every minute that gets the /forums/ page. I THINK this helps, as I assume it would be caching stuff so any user hitting the page will always get some cached objects etc…

At least that’s my theory.

Sarcasm ? “sorry if I am messing up your cute little system here“

Just to emphasise what mercime has already covered this is a voluntary support forum this is an OS project if people choose to use the app then that is their choice there is absolutely no obligation on the part of anyone to provide support or help, yet an amazing amount of help is given to newbies trying to get sites up and running and often by people working professionally in this industry so it pays not to upset them or put them off offering that help.

A useful reference on how to post in general to boards is covered here:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

and no this isn’t an attempt to condescend or patronise.

There IS NO generic problem with BP but it’s a complicated extension to WP and thus there are many issues that can arise, often these might manifest in a similar way but more often than not have a variety of actual causes, which is why detail on the issue is imperative in order to be able to help.

@thoughtsandmore

BP is not really an out of the box solution to create a successful community in functionality and look you have to put some work in, there are some grat examples of what can be done but they have had time spent on them and require a certain amount of skills with PHP and frontend coding CSS ? HTML.

Not sure what you really mean by a consistent website? bp-default isn’t a bad theme at all for an ‘out of the box’ better than most I’ve experienced but even with that theme you are meant to take it and make it your own.

What are these ‘Sample sites’ you refer to?

First thing’s first, if you want to have user-blog-URL’s as http://myname.mysite.com/ then you have to install BuddyPress in domain root http://mysite.com/ Otherwise, if you install BP in secondary site with a subdomain configuration, e.g. http://buddypress.mysite.com/, the glitch is that the user blogs created from the secondary site will turn out like http://myname.buddypress.mysite.com/
Reported here: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1796

== 4. but when i do that , the links etc starts showing in the main site ==
Unless you put in code or widget for sitewide recent posts or for list of all blogs, then those links won’t show up in the home page of your main site.

== i only wants users to see once the login to community ==
Read through to the end of this related topic with solutions for the https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-make-a-private-community?topic_page=1&num=15

@krikette Know that 99.9% of those who help out here are volunteers who share their knowledge and skills whenever they can. There’s no obligation for anyone here to answer any question, yet many have generously guided newbies to site launch. There might be those who are arrogant, yet you’ll also find those who are very helpful, so kindly refrain from painting everyone with the same brush. The traffic of helpful volunteers is less than the traffic of newbies or those seeking help, so you can see the imbalance. You have to be patient yet persistent

== but it is obvious that there is a major problem with buddypress SOMEWHERE and no one is doing a damn thing to figure it out. ==

Unless you post what problem you’re having with your installation, no one can help you. I see that this is your fist post, and you are venting because … of unanswered questions by others before you? Many have successfully launched BuddyPress sites like those featured at http://www.bpinspire.com/ and your site could be featured there too if you think positively and learn what needs to be done to overcome the challenges that face you.

Some tips:
1. Read – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/
BP Codex is your friend https://codex.buddypress.org/home/
2. Use our site search or use Google search as the question could have already been answered in forums or in external sites.
3. Bumping topics frequently is a no-no. You can bump your topic if unanswered after 24 hours.

@pcwriter @thoughtsandmore heard through the grapevine someone’s going to release one almost just like that

@thoughtsandmore

Here’s a bit of shameless self-promotion
Some pretty cool themes here: http://BuddyLite.com

@thoughtsandmore

That’s a screenshot of the old bp-sn-parent theme that came bundled with the 1.1 releases of Buddypress. Way outdated. But you can recreate that look if you want to try your hand at making your own theme

Try asking your host to increase your wordpress memory limit, or do a search on that subject as there are some ways to do it yourself…

If neither of those work, and for some shared server hosts such as 1and1 they won’t, then have a look at the suggestions here and here.

Or find a host that offers more memory – which is difficult as all other shared hosting services, that I’ve found, don’t quote the memory available in their advertising….

Anyone figure out a way to “activate” all wordpress users so they show up on Buddypress right away?
