Update, when I re-tried the new version of buddypress the messages re-appeared. However, the layout is completely whacky.
Hey Paul,
Thanks for the help. My theme’s footer does call wp_footer. It did before the install of BP.
I should also note, that on the initial install, the admin menu was working. It only seemed to stop working when I was adding my own
id’s so that the and div’s would fit my theme as instructed in the BuddyPress Template Pack Plugin.
I am just now disabling plugins to troubleshoot as well, since there are a few that I have installed since (all buddypress plugins).
I really need to solve this pretty quick as my assistant sent out an invite to register this morning, so you help is very welcome and appreciated.
What version of WordPress and BuddyPress are you using?
Have you confirmed that your other admins are “Admins” or “Super Admins”?
You’ll need to create a custom page template and then upload it to your theme folder. Then create a brand new page (.e.g “Welcome”) using that custom page template you created instead of the default page template provided by Fishbook. Then in your Dashboard >> Settings >> Reading you’ll need to set the front page option to the brand new page (e.g. “Welcome”) that you created and set your posts to show up on a different page called “Articles” or “News” or something else that you like.
Perhaps there’s a misunderstanding. WordPress/BuddyPress stores several different variations of the user’s name. When you said “username”, I associated that with the user’s log-in name. The display names, like mine here, “Paul Gibbs”, are set in BuddyPress’ member profiles.
Hi
i have an integration of cometchat into budypress , i can # sale it for 20$ & all module added
you can see the demo in my website
http://www.dz-tchat.com
and my email is : gnawisoli @hotmail.com
I do not understand this, because my username I have as a admin, hast a capital letter. Also here in this Forum I have a capital letter in my Username “Tolden”. Why does it work here and not in my WordPress. How do I get it to work?
This is a WordPress limitation, which treats user registration in the same way.
The problem with Danish letters in usernames is not a BuddyPress problem but a WordPress.
I solved using a plugin from http://oneconsult.dk/wordpress/cleaner
Thanks to http://wordpress.dk/forum/ and maxemil2
1) the link is http://sms.ronnespejder.dk It is in Danish (it is not complete, I am in the process of making a new language file in Danish)
2) I have changed the meta line in the header – but it didn’t solved the problem.
3) I can only see one .htaccess which has following content:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Where do I place the ‘AddDefaultCharset UTF-8’ text-string (without ‘) ?
4) I am using a web-hotel
@johnwinch42 –
It may, but without knowing all of your themes’ CSS setups, it’s not possible to say for sure. Order of CSS is important, later definitions will override previous ones. More specific selectors might interfere, as might indiscriminate use of !important.
Give it a try!
@rogercoathup Thanks, If I put a @import url(“pathtoacsscontainingnavigationcssstyle”); in all my theme’s css will this works ?
I’ll see the same navigation bar all over my blogs, despite the themes they may have ?
And with this way I only have to modified one file to change the navigations bar css attributes of all the blogs.
If the ‘ meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″ ‘ in page head doesn’t help (it also didn’t help to me for Sk.) then placing ‘AddDefaultCharset UTF-8’ line into your .htaccess file will do it for you! 
Without the two ‘ just like below. Let me know whether it’s what you want. Make sure you save/upload the file in Text ASCII mode (not like images that transfer in Binary mode – your site could go blank till you re-upload it properly.) The file editor in cpanel does this safely if you aren’t sure.
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
If you use this in .htaccess file you will no longer need to include that meta tag in the head. BTW MYSQL is UTF-8 default also so no worries at all.
If it’s your apache server you can change this directly in the ‘httpd.conf’ file. I think Apache’s internal default charset is iso-8859-1.
Do you have link I could check for you?
@pcwriter, the charlimitinfo will only display on the first activity item because you’ve specified for it to only show up on that specific div with that id. Here’s the solution:
`<textarea id="ac-input-” class=”ac-input” name=”ac_input_” onkeyup=”limitChars(this.form.ac_input_, 500, ‘charlimitinfo-‘)” />`
In each activity item the textarea has a unique name and id applied to it. The javascript function will now be called to each individual activity item.
Hope that helps
@thelandman
Thanks for the reminder, but here’s something odd:
I can only get the char limit to work on the first activity item. The script is between the `
Getclicky and statcounter are other better analytics.
sadly we have to stick like glue to the stable packaged releases of RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux), so a php upgrade out-of-cycle is highly unlikely. Bring on RHEL6…
@DJPaul – have verified with plugins disabled and default theme installed… same story.
@pcwriter, you may also want to implement the same to the entry.php so you can limit the characters in the reply text area. Exactly what I’ve done on my site.
@aendrew Did you have any luck with this?
@castleofislam
I just thought of an alternative solution. You can always try the Buddypress Widget Theme for what you want to accomplish.
https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/buddypress-widget-theme
when I log out the cache page shows I’m still logged in and I don’t see the login form, anyway to correct this. Also the forum rss feed and buddypress links feed don’t work for me when minify is activated.
@latenitebooks
To get you started, here’s a replacement file for activity/post-form.php with a 500 character textarea limit.
http://pastebin.com/eXuSa4iK
Adjust to taste on line 52. With an if/else conditional, you could set it so different roles have different limits.
Simply create a new post-form.php file in your child theme, copy/paste the contents of the pastebin file and upload to the “activity” folder of your child theme.
Hope it helps!
@mdehart85 With WP 3.0.1 you can go mulisite in subdirectory mode then, as @pcwriter mentioned above, install BP in secondary blog. You can have different themes on each site.
If for your own reasons you still want the separate WP blogs using same database – read this. Make sure that both WP installs are working before installing BP in the 2nd WP install.
