BuddyPress.org

If you are using a child theme then you do not need to worry about the default theme unless you ned to modify a file. At that point you copy the file to your child theme.

The regular WP twenty ten them will not work with BP out of the box that is why there is a BP version.

Also have the same problem with my local installation.

1) Installed WordPress: Worked
2) Got Buddypress as a plugin.
3) Got a message, that the .htaccess could not be changed due to missing permissions, so changed the permissions, then no error message appears
4) Choosed the Buddypress default theme
5) Choosed the permalink options

= I also get tese 404 error messages (for example /wordpress/activity/)

@gottowik – well done. Looks awesome. How did you get the re captcha to work on the registration page? Care to share?

Thanks @dwenaus, when viewing a tag page, not meta title is available for the page.

@odiggy Try the Donate button on one of r-a-y’s plugins: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/oembed-for-buddypress/

r-a-y, Thanks for the extra answer. I started trying to document some of the bp_core_fetch_avatar function so that I could add it to the codex: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/changing-avatar-size-sometimes-creates-fuzzy-avatars/ This is a good addition.

I don’t know but does this mean your trying to get commentluv to work with buddypress? Any luck, can we look forward to this. Thanks

@grosbouff So OQP is the current winner of the two in terms of functionality? Is it ready for a production site or still too alphaish?

@boonebgorges @nuprn1 thanks for posting the instructions. It answered my query. I think it’s odd that topic tags don’t show up in threads in the default theme. Anyway, it works Next thing BP needs to do is provide a forum tag manager tool (unless there’s already one and I didn’t see it) similar to Dashboard > Posts > Post Tags and allow the topic creators to edit tags like they can their Title and Content under Edit Topic. Right now I have to do forum tag management using phpMyAdmin.

Jet QuickPress is a plugin from Jettochkin based on my first plugin ‘BuddyPress Quickpress’.
One Quick Post is the ‘new version’ of BuddyPress Quickpress; the difference is that the plugin works for WordPress too (without BuddyPress), and has been improved.

As OQP (one quick post) is used to “power” my main plugin Your Classified Ads; you can be sure i will still update it .

Love the events system, esp the widget!. I already own gravity and use it for ‘testimony’ submission. Is your events system something you are willing to share for those of us that already use gravity?

“Q1: Should we use WordPress or WordPressMU with BuddyPress?”

WPMU is now rolled in to single WP and called a Network of multiple sites, sometimes called multisite. You only need to enable it if you want multiple blogs(sites).

“Q2: Since we plan to launch “multiple social network websites” using BuddyPress, which one is better for our situation and why?”

If you have one install with multiple blogs, right now you can only install one instance of BuddyPress. It will show up on all the member sites, but share all the userbase.

“Q3: Will all sites be linked together if we use WordPressMU with buddyPress?”

I think I just answered this. Yes.

“Q4: Will using WordPressMU makes it easy to manage all sites?”

It’s one codebase, so yes.

“Q5: Will using WordPressMU allow us to de-link individual sites later and transfer to other people on different hosts or will it be a problem if we use MU?”

THe individual sites you can just use the Export menu to get all the posts.

The buddypress parts can’t be exported that way.

“Q6: What else should we consider when making the decision between WordPress and WordPressMU to use with BuddyPress for multiple sites?”

If you need multiple sites or not and if you want the userbase separate, and how likely you’ll need the buddypress parts moved to a different site.

“Q7: Will it be better just to use WPMU or WP with BuddyPress only for “one” site per account?”

Again, it depends on what you ultimately want. The network of sites are individual on one codebase. Buddypress affects the whole network.

Interesting way to get to the registration page with just the username. I also like how you dealt with the only lowercase username issue. You might also check out this solution that r-a-y put together: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2207

Page looks pretty good, but as you said in your blog, I’m not sure it completely communicates your message of what the site can do for new users.

WOOHOOO, with a little CSS help, got things fixed up with my links plugin and I love it.

I need assistance with this exact issue as well. None of the links work.

On Yahoo Web Hosting. Permalink structure is as follows:

index.php/%postname%/

Yahoo doesn’t allow for .htaccess files, so if Buddypress uses .htaccess, this won’t work for me. I’m hoping that isn’t the case.

Clicking on any of the buddypress links leads to a 404 error message. I am able to find the directories in the theme folder that match however, so i suspect that the links are trying to get into those folders. I should mention that this happens in either the default BP themes, the child themes i’ve installed such as “unplugged”, and themes i’ve converted to be compatible like “sliding-door”, so from my understanding, this is not a theme issue

Anyone got some assistance for us?

Thanks in advance!
