BuddyPress.org

Hey guys, I’m looking at integrating Buddypress to an existing site that uses Wishlist Member and I’m hoping to hear that you’ve tried it and all is fine. Looking forward to hearing great news!!

It really does work with multisite. The component loops will work on subdomains but I think it’ll be a ton of trouble to get the full component features working on a subdomains especially groups. I think I have seen some threads about putting members on a subdomain you might try there.

This thread might help: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/wordpress-and-buddypress-same-password/

@WWDay3

Cool, I’m glad it worked out
How about creating a link to showcase your site at http://buddylite.com/links

Sidenote: edited the server directory paths, on a public site it’s best not to show full directory set up.

Installing WordPress in a directory with the same name as one of BuddyPress’ components will break things; it’s a known issue.

== could it be that the root of my bp install is in a subdomain called ‘members’? ==
Your BP/WP is not in a subdomain but rather in either a physical subdirectory or a virtual subdirectory named members. So no, not likely a problem caused by the structure.

1. Just to clarify,
a) you installed WP http://chcalgary.ca/ and then created a network with virtual sub-directory structure. One of sub-directories is http://chcalgary.ca/members , which is where you pointed BuddyPress?
or
b) you installed WP in http://chcalgary.ca/ and then created a physical sub-directory named members and installed another WP there with BP plugin activated?

2. Looks like mod_rewrite is enabled because this URL shows up correctly http://chcalgary.ca/members/category/uncategorized/ so that means you have pretty permalinks. No problem here.

3. Check that your .htaccess file is correct for either WP in physical subdirectory if structure is 1.b. above or in WP in domain root if structure is 1.a. above

4. Check your apache config if directory configured to enable “Options FollowSymLinks” & “AllowOverride All”

Mhm, your install may be broken.

Delete the entire plugin, and re-install buddypress, it should fix it.

– Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and check registration.

Edit- see also different solutions in this thread https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/registration-link-redirects-to-home-page/

@larrysmith1000 If you’re created a child theme of bp-default theme, did you surround the code in functions.php file with opening “ at bottom?

Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme, clear cache and see if you can now create a group. I assume you did not disable Groups in BuddyPress > Components. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/

Btw, what do you mean by “There is no such thing like “Create a group” in the backend.”? You create a group in front end of site.

If I recall, fishbook theme is a child theme of bp-default theme. So if there’s no header.php there, download a copy here https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php – download link at the bottom of the page. Delete lines 61-64, then upload to server wp-content/themes/fishbook folder

While BuddyPress can be activated network-wide in a multisite installation to aggregate data from subsites, there can only be one instance of BuddyPress in either the main site or a secondary blog out of the box at this time.

Bearing that in mind, again out of the box, you could rename “Groups” as “Cities” and move forward with that. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/ – esp. test drive BuddyPress at http:/testbp.org

Private Community plugin forum.

Not a buddypress problem or issue.

Go to the wordpress.org forums. https://wordpress.org/support/

I’m bowing out. @hnla‘s the man to do the job

Can’t just copy the code.

== Not quite, I removed the code from the config.php and the above from .htaccess ==

@harounkola so you changed it back to single WP install with BuddyPress. I still see the BP components – groups, members, etc.

Deactivate all plugins including BuddyPress and change to default twentyten theme before creating a network. There are also other reasons why your pages go blank and/or you can’t access wp-admin. One of them is that you need to increase memory limit in your server. Example of where to change it in your php.ini file e.g. to 32MB first, and if that doesn’t work, increase to 64MBis here.

It took a while.. but this should be pretty much all you need to know about setting up a CDN with MaxCDN/W3 Total Cache in combination with BuddyPress. The good parts for the people who already have a CDN running can be found at the end.. Hope it’s useful!
