BuddyPress.org

I think this is a bug. I have been facing this issue for a very long time and raised it on this forum and reported to buddypress as well but with no solution as yet. If you try creating a topic under the forum as an non admin user, you might get an error as well.

Deactivate the buddypress-group-forum-extras plugin manually via FTP/SSH/File Manager by renaming it to e.g. buddypress-group-forum-extras-xxx

Check you did all the Theme Compatible steps.
The part missing sounds like the Buddypress ajax bits…

When you are logged in with your user, and you do Activity things, like posting updates, or writing contents, do the functions work properly?? If they dont, it is definitely an issue with the BP Ajax stuff not getting called.

Re: issue with commenting on posts in activity stream:
Have you tried changing to bp-default theme to check if the issue is corrected? If not, deactivate plugins except BuddyPress as well?

Re sidebar below content area:
In order to assist you in making BP template files compatible with the HTML structure of your Fullscreen theme: Open up your Fullscreen theme’s header.php file, copy all code, paste all to pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URI here. Do the same for your theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php files.

Getting the following message when I go to your main site:

Forbidden – Users from your country are not permitted to browse this site.

What theme are you using? Check if it’s listed in this page with the solution to BP template compatibility – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

Setting up CDN on the same server as your site is, will defeat the purpose of a CDN to speed up your website. Different strokes for different folks. Check out these articles:

After doing a little more reading, what we are trying to create is a multisite install that allows for multi-network BuddyPress networks (x2) that segregates BuddyPress social networks in the multi network WordPress install so that each WP network has a different social network. The user base is still shared across the WP install and the root is NOT a buddypress site, rather a straight up wp site. (Not sure if used all the correct language there …

Question 1: First of all, is this possible?

So it seems like we might want to use BP Multi Network plugin by @wpmuguru & @johnjamesjacoby.
see: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/

However, a little more reading and it seems that the WP Multi Network plugin by @johnjamesjacoby is a good candidate too.
see: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-multi-network/

Question 2: Might it be that using both of these plugins is in order? Multi Network to Create Domain/Subdomain/Subsubdomain then BP Multi Network to segregate the buddypress newtorks Subdomain from Subsubdomain? Or would BP Mulit Network suffice?

Thoughts?

As we sort this out, we are also wanting each network to have its own extended/custom profile and its own groups and forums.

As I read on I am seeing that we need to have a good understanding about how sharing a database for these discrete networks, that will also have groups & forums, could be a bit tricky.

Are there any buddypress elves out there who could provide some guidance on this issue?

@mrlobaloba remember that solving this involved changing to bp-default theme and deactivating other plugins except BuddyPress beforehand and assigning the new Page Attivita to the Activity stream in BuddyPress > Pages and clicking save.

This was what I did in that specific installation – simple really:
1. Go to Network Admin dashboard menu BuddyPress > Components – deactivate activity stream component, click button to save/update.
2. Go to lavori.italianproplayers.com/wp-admin (where you defined BP i.e., where BP is installed) and dashboard menu Settings > Permalinks and click on Save button.
3. Go back to Network Admin dashboard menu BuddyPress > Components – Activate activity stream component, click button to save/update
4. Check that the page Attivita is selected for the Activity stream in BuddyPress > Pages and click save.
5. Go back to lavori.italianproplayers.com/wp-admin dashboard menu Settings > Permalinks and click on Save button.

Note that the above might or might not work for other installations.

I suggest that you set up BP components, pages, forums, etc. and adding BP plugins using the bp-default theme. Test if BP components and plugins work using bp-default theme as well. Change to BP-compatible or BP-ready theme if you’re satisfied that your default installation is working well.

@nahummadrid Yeah, I was kinda surprised you asked about a blog’s post thumbnail since I’ve seen you doing more advanced stuff. Thanks for adding “in blogs-loop” to the topic title now lol.

Re: Thumbnails for latest posts per blog in Blogs Directory
– last time I did this was early 2011, I installed https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-sitewide-tags/ and it supported post thumbnails. Best place to ask advice and support re this plugin is at the WP Multisite forums https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite and just add tag wordpress-mu-sitewide-tags on the sidebar

@djpaul Sorry, I didn’t know about…

@aces Yes, did them all so far, but all are welcome to help out

@jkrysto what’s the name of your WP theme? Open up your theme’s header.php file, copy all, then paste code to pastebin.com, click submit, and post the generated URI here. Do the same for your theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php

Im working with DC – Like he said, we have three sites in our wpmu install, we would like the primary site to be a standard wp install and the two other blog id’s to be buddypress sites.

We made a bp-custom.php file with:

define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', 2);

But how can we also include blog_id_3?

Or rather, is it possible to exclude the buddypress from running on the primary site?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It would have helped to know which ( parent ) theme you are using and ideally a link to it….
