BuddyPress.org

You can download or checkout a copy of the 1.2 branch of code from the Trac.

trac.buddypress.org
—Browse Source

Branches should always be considered the most stable and up-to-date code for that specific version. Nothing untested or unsafe makes it into there, where as the trunk of code can go through extended periods of brokenness (like it has currently.)

You might try to disable all of the plugins then enable them one at a time to see which one is conflicting with the admin area. Also, if you have access to the error log files then you can check to see if a message is being written to the logs.

You can definitely adjust the first one of those without being a CSS or PHP wizard, just by editing header.php. I suggest you create a Child Theme first.

There are also some good SEO plugins out there, although I don’t know what works with BuddyPress. Hopefully somebody else’ll chime in here.

Use the unified search here on BuddyPress.org, and you’ll find some good discussions, including this one which sends you to BuddyDev. With a bit of elbow grease and tweaking, you should be good to go. (Whether it’s the “best” way is up for discussion, of course.)

Have you checked you’re editing the correct php.ini file? Setting it to at least 64mb sorts most problems.

Hi.

I have exactly the same error and I am installing an clean version on a subdomain for WP 3.0.1 and Install Buddypress 1.2.5.2. What i can see is that the uploads, avatars, signup etc, directories get the apache owner and not the owner that the site is created with – so i tried to change the ownership on the directories but still same Error Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /avatars/ etc. Is its parent directory writable by the server?.

Please help

Best Regards
Sandholdt

Mr Boone.. I have a similar issue.. where activation is not sent…. but I once tried and updated the mailserver_ settings in wordpress.. so I recieved the activation code.. the problem is.. the code I cannot be used to activate the account.. I keep getting “Invalid Key” or “and error has occurred” messages, even though I copy/paste manually..

what do you think is the case? and is there an applicable fix that simply modifies the core files automatically? or howabout I send you the files that might help you.. and you can look into this issue..

This issue is standard and doesn’t resolve even after deleting and re-installing Buddypress over and over …

Oops, I had removed the page IDs from the plugin file, but the file I uploaded to pastebin was the one that has my page ID exclusions.

Nice touch with the pageLinkDropdown idea! I take your hint and I’ll see if, following your example, I can figure out how to add that option to wp_nav_menus.

I fully agree that the user should be able to control values and parameters. Next challenge then is to learn how to create (and code) an admin area to give users that control. Here’s the start of my study program: https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_Options_Pages and https://codex.wordpress.org/Adding_Administration_Menus

Oh goody… more fun!

Bump with exactly the same problem.

It happened to be .htaccess did not update because of file permission. Did manual update, adding mod_rewrite rule and everythings work!

If not in your case, try checking if mod_rewrite module of apache is enabled?

You’d have to turn your WordPress 3.0 install into a network and create a secondary blog.

Then you could activate the BP-default theme on this new blog.

Follow these instructions:

@ipstenu – Take the code I posted and then you’ll also need to apply a filter so BP doesn’t create its own excerpt.

This can be done with:

Untested, give it a shot and report back.

@amahesh –

In your theme’s functions.php, make sure your code looks something like this:
http://pastebin.com/Pn1jFXG5

Read the comments in the code.

Then In your duplicate of bp-activity-group-feed.php, you need to change:

if ( bp_has_activities( 'object=' . $bp->groups->id . '&primary_id=' . $bp->groups->current_group->id . '&max=50&display_comments=threaded' ) ) :

to

if ( bp_has_activities( 'object=' . $bp->groups->id . '&primary_id=' . $bp->groups->current_group->id . '&secondary_item_id=' . $bp->groups->current_group->creator_id . 'max=50&display_comments=threaded' ) ) :

This will filter the group activity feed so only updates from the creator of the group will be listed. If you have multiple admins, you’ll have to find a way to append their IDs (comma-delimited) to the end of the “secondary_item_id” parameter.

@antonrsa – You copied the lines wrong:

Anyway like Rich said, JJJ has added secondary avatars to the latest BP 1.2 branch.

Check out testbp.org to see what this looks like:

wow! thats great!
Just one Q: Would Buddypress support this also?
thanks in advance.
