BuddyPress.org

I have added my own experiences to those of @dba2k10 in the thread above:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/bbpress-posting-errors-missing-database-tables/

Like the OP, I also found that none of the bb press tables were being created in my database. I was able to create them manually by using the MySQL statements in the default.bb-schema.php file. It’s not optimal, but it’s one fix. Hope this helps further the conversation.

Lumenbeing, the answer is yes, in my experience. I am testing WordPress MultiSite with BuddyPress on a Dreamhost setup. I did install by uploading via FTP, not via the one click, but for whatever reason, none of the BB Press tables were created in my database. I tried applying the patch in Paul’s post above, but that wasn’t enough and uninstalling and re-installing the forums via the Web still didn’t help.

I went through the MySQL statements in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-admin/includes/defaults.bb-schema.php and was able to create the tables manually in the SQL dialog box in phpMyAdmin. You do need to make sure you fill in the database names for the variable $bbdb in each statement
ie: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `$bbdb->forums
needed to become
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `tablename_bb_forums`
But I am now able to use the forums for public/private/hidden groups as I expected they would work.
I do suspect this is a server issue and perhaps a MySQL version issue as well. I can’t imagine why none of the tables would be created, otherwise.
Hope this helps further the conversation.

Buddypress Version 1.2.8
Clean install

The plugin installs with no warnings, but when I try to select (the checkboxes) which social medias and what activities that should be able to be shared and click the “Save” button the checkboxes just get cleared and pretty much nothing else happens..

Best regard,

Add the following snippet to your theme’s functions.php file:

`function remove_adminbar_from_mainsite() {
if(‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’)
remove_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’, 8 );
}
add_action(‘wp’, ‘remove_adminbar_from_mainsite’);`

@JunVette Glad you resolved it and thanks for sharing your solution.

@mercime Thank you!!! It was my .htaccess file.

I had to add the following line to the end of my .htaccess file. This tells the webserver to user PHP5 instead of PHP4 (for anyone that doesn’t know). I had to do this with my other 1and1 hosted sites, including my Joomla sites.

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

There have been many issues of WP plugins/custom theme incompatibility with WP 3.1 due to many changes in core. Btw, what theme are you using? WP 3.0.5 upgrade to WP 3.1 has broken “some stuff” along the way. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/troubleshooting-wordpress-31-master-list?replies=11

On each plugin’s homepage in WP repo, look to the lower portion of the right sidebar which links to forum topics where people give feedback – report problems.

– Re Smooth slider – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-smooth-slider-needs-upgrading-for-wp-31?replies=2

– As for multilevel navigation plugin – unfortunately, the plugin developer doesn’t seem to provide support in WP repo or his website, and it supports WP version up to WP 3.0.5 only, while BP 1.2.8 is compatible with WP 3.1. In other words, this is not a BuddyPress issue at all. Suggest that you look for alternative plugin

@hnla I’m going really off-topic now. heads up on which Bond, @finni3 has Sean Connery

@gunju2221 so how’s the plugin working out or you?

== it breaks smooth slider plugin and multi level Navigation plugin ==
It would help if you were more specific about which smooth slider plugin and which multilevel navigation plugin you are referring to. Are those the names of the plugins or the generic terms for such kinds of plugin?

You are looking at the ‘Network Admin’ dashboard aren’t you? and not the primary site dashboard ‘Site Admin’

Have you tested the solution I’ve mentioned? Just for your interest: I set up a naked wp 3.1. (single) with buddypress 1.2.8, BuddyPress xProfiles ACL, Capability Manager and WP Roles at Registration – works like a charm and requires no coding by hand.

@javiermatosdes & @dba2k10 – will those solutions work for someone who has commited the sin of 1-click install with Dreamhost?

@Virtuali – That’s nice, but what is the solution if a bb-config change occurred?

Afraid not sure what to suggest with this, can’t personally recreate this type of issue on custom test installs. I assume that you have the BP theme files copied over and adjusted and that nothing necessary for BP has been inadvertently removed -although that’s doubtful.

It’s going to be hard to help with a third party custom theme, without having all the pieces to hand as it were, hopefully one of the others will chip in with some thoughts or perhaps even have a better idea why the issue could happening.

Registration issues, once submitted, I’m not going any further, the validation doesn’t activate, and the new user doesn’t capture

I think you may need to expand on this a little , once submitted? does it actually submit? what is meant by “validation doesn’t activate” and “new user doesn’t capture”

This will possibly be hard to help with given it’s a third party theme that appears to be causing the issues and that it works as expected with default BP but understanding exactly what isn’t working will be important.

What’s in that include file ‘addon-functions’ are there scripts in there possibly causing issues?

You can see how BuddyPress works at http://testbp.org. Why not test Drupal Commons and then come back here and share your thoughts?

=== Is it possible to display complete details and add additional fields tabout the member including a photo? ===
Yes. The avatar upload will be the photo of the member.

=== and I’d really not want them to be a member of WordPress. ===
BuddyPress is a WordPress plugin that uses WP functions in many cases including being added in the wp_users table. If you don’t want the members to be WP “users” in the main site, go multisite and install BuddyPress in secondary blog.
