BuddyPress.org

I just struggled with this, and I’d like to think I’m experienced with WordPress and not that stupid.

My problem was I missed the message about validating my test account, and got distracted by the avator
upload. When tried to login with my test accounts I was simply returned to the homepage with no feedback.

So people have you validated the accounts that your trying to register, and admins can we get a bit of
feedback upon logging in with a non validated account.

Looking good so far, thanks for the plugin,

Ian.

I am having the same issue. But only during recent development did that ‘my blogs’ link disappear. So I will now be retracing my dozens of hours of changes to try to figure out what i might have done that triggered the erroneous state.

Empty your cache, it will appear, it usually does not show up immediately.

Looks like you implemented some CSS from the buddypress default theme, most likely a Max-width css attribute. It’s overlapping the sidebar. I couldn’t pinpoint it off the top of my head…

It’s probably under the `/* > Global Elements` or `/* > Container`

No, not the buddypress css, your Theme’s Style.CSS.

The easiest way to access this is in the wordpress admin –> Go down to the theme editor, and go down to the bottom to your style.css.

Now find this piece of css:

`/* Main Content

#content {
width:960px;
margin: 0px auto;`

right below the last line, add
`background-color: #85C8F2;`

I’m also having a problem with activaing BuddyPress. I’ve just done a fresh install of WordPress 3.1.

I tried the automatic install from within WordPress and it just sits at the following message and doesn’t go any further. I’ve let it site for half an hour:
Installing Plugin: BuddyPress 1.2.8
Downloading install package from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.1.2.8.zip…

I’ve also tried to install manually. I’ve uploaded the “buddypress” folder to the “wp-content/plugins” folder and when I go into WordPress Plugins and try to activate, I receive the following message:
Error 500 – Internal server error
An internal server error has occured!
Please try again later.

I’m using 1and1 hosting…. any suggestions?

Thanks,

Did you read in the codex page given to you?

To fix this problem, enter the WordPress admin panel > Settings > Pemalinks – set to any configuration other than the default configuration. The mod_rewrite must be enabled on your server for pretty permalinks to work.

I’m sorry that your stack .

So I tried to comprehend as much as I possibly could from what you are writing. Are you trying to style the background of some of the components of buddypress? Like profiles and groups to match your background image?

It’s hard to get a picture also, because your site is on maintenance mode right now

@nuhammadrid Try here:

http://etivite.com/groups/buddypress/hooks/search/component/?c=bp-activity

Wait… do you mean a subnav? Like for instance, under profile, the subtabs are “Edit Profile, and Change Cignature?”

Could be done, wrap the bp_core_new_subnav_item call in a function which is hooked on xprofile_setup_nav action;

`/* Add the subnav items */
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘My Friends’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘my-friends’, ‘parent_url’ => $friends_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->friends->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘friends_screen_my_friends’, ‘position’ => 10, ‘item_css_id’ => ‘friends-my-friends’ ) );
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => sprintf( __( ‘Requests (%d)‘, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_friend_get_total_requests_count() ), ‘slug’ => ‘requests’, ‘parent_url’ => $friends_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->friends->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘friends_screen_requests’, ‘position’ => 20, ‘user_has_access’ => bp_is_my_profile() ) );

if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->friends->slug ) {
if ( bp_is_my_profile() ) {
$bp->bp_options_title = __( ‘My Friends’, ‘buddypress’ );
} else {
$bp->bp_options_avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $bp->displayed_user->id, ‘type’ => ‘thumb’ ) );
$bp->bp_options_title = $bp->displayed_user->fullname;
}`

There ya go, 2 in one!

You can install BuddyPress on main site or secondary blog https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/ but the groups created follow the URL structure from where you set it up.

You can however allow a blog per group in subdomain structure, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/ but I haven’t tested it lately.

I think lselwd is getting confused at some of my replies where I stated setting up multisite gives you your own *version* of wordpress.com. It works like that, but it not it.

Did you change the login name via a plugin or in the database? I’m looking at your site and the @mentions name in the usernav
is different –> @BNIWAdmin when the profile header says @stevieG

Something is off then because on every site i’ve ever used BP on the @name on your profile IS the login name.

@StevieG is your login name on here right? You should get notified of this reply because I @’d you. That’s how it works on every BP site.
