BuddyPress.org

can you please tell me what database caching plugin your using to speed up mysql queries on master / slave servers?

@ds123, your merging topics from https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/speeding-up-buddypress/

Please keep on topic please, don’t post off the wall questions.

Buddypress shouldn’t slow anything down at all. Unless you have a bad host, and poor space, your site should load, and load functions, just as fast as if it was not installed.

Unless, your talking about, for instance, just buddypress components. Have you read this article? http://wpmu.org/speed-up-your-wordpress-buddypress-loading-time-with-this-quick-tip/

Please post this here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/seopress/forum/

“This page has 33 external Javascript scripts. Try combining them into one.
This page has 21 external stylesheets. Try combining them into one.”

This is my problem and I’m guessing the problem that a lot of us are having. Cloudflare will load the CSS and JS, but there are still so many that it slows sites down.

@DJPaul can you please tell me what database caching plugin your using to speed up mysql queries on master / slave servers? i’m using hyper db seems to work but i want to use memcache will that help logged in users on buddypress? (ryan’s plugin memcached plugin)

… my slave server is a stripped down mysql server and nothing else do i need to install memcache on the slave server? (its already installed on the master)

thanks for any help!

Forum-specific notifications are not, at the moment, part of BuddyPress’s core functionality (for better or for worse).

@johnjamesjacoby has promised an upgrade of buddypress.org soon. Maybe one of the things we can hope for is that he’ll install something like the BuddyPress Group Email Subscription plugin, so that individuals can subscribe to group/forum emails.

Until then, you’ll have to check manually

SEO press does work, but make sure you don’t have any other SEO plugins enabled/installed as I found it conflicted and broke.

There is a new version of SEOPress coming soon.

I can believe that this is an old problen that hasn´t been solved by WordPress/Buddypress/bbPress I just got the “There was an error when creating the topic” and I see that none of the wp_bb_ tables have been created in the database. I don´t know if this is the problem, and I don´t know how to create new tables (I´m not a developer), but please resolve this issue it is unacceptable that it is still happening… now I hope that creating the tables resolves my problem. Any body can help me create new tables??

Hi Guys, I’m interested to understand what the combination of buddypress & wishlist will give you i.e. why have you chosen to install both?

@pjnu No, do not disable Secure Invites yet. The last time I tested Secure Invites a year or so ago, my test users had to reset to a new password when I disabled Secure Invites plugin, it was a hassle so I haven’t used the plugin since then. I don’t know if that’s one of the consequences if you disable it now.

Let me double-check on the users base in some installs, then I’ll get back to you.

@uglyrobot many thanks for the updated plugin

I was wrong it has been updated:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/jet-event-system-for-buddypress/

You will need to post in the appropriate plugin group for support.

N.B perhaps you haven’t upgraded Jet Events?

@apwinthrop

Why not simply use the “Members” widget in your sidebar?

i am also looking for the answer to this…. when comments are made to a forum topic i need to be notified as well as anyone else in the comment thread…… wouldn;t make sense to have to go back into the forum all the time to see if anyone made a comment….. or am I being ignorant?

Hope someone can help.

Thanks very much for this – haven’t tried it yet but am about to.
But what I think is really needed is simply the option for the group admin to choose the default tab – as part of the group settings.
I wil have several groups that will need different defaults. Can your code accommodate that in some way?
Who is up to writing a plug-in to do that? Not me I’m afraid..!
I also agree that Home should be changed to Activity.

I’ve just published a tutorial about setting up a CDN with Total Cache and MaxCDN. It does wonders for me, and takes care of the parallel loading and serving of your static files through a CDN:

http://bp-tricks.com/featured/the-perfect-cdn-setup-for-buddypress-using-maxcdn-and-w3-total-cache/#comment-174097306

tried w3 total cache on localhost, don’t know how for others, but for my non english installation it caches/saves page text as unknown symbols.

Edit: had to disable page cache and now it works fine, I think so, at least nothing goes wrong.

Im getting a group duplication problem as well when sending invites at the final stage of creating a group? Can anyone shed some light on why this may be happening? Im running wordpress 3.0.2 with buddypress 1.2.6

if you’re on an Mu install you’l have to log in as a super admin and access their admin areas individually for each blog. Although thsi is a buddypress forum so perhaps you want to ask the question on the wordpress forums.
