BuddyPress.org

Can you try using the bp-default theme with the WP-FB-AutoConnect plugin and see if you have the same problem?
Also what page is it attempting to redirect to?

There’s a ticket about this with a suggested fix by kunalb:

@rossagrant; Long time no visit – been very busy – but noticed your post. This is something that’s beginning to worry me, as our site is at the jump-off point, and I see this happen every time I click Load More on this site. As I said to a colleague yesterday; if this happens to our site once the activity stream really fills up… well, I don’t even want to think about it!

Any ideas on this folks? Is it a known bug? Does it occur only after a certain number of stream posts/replies exist?

No, it doesn’t.

Some have had success with the latest release of CometChat – http://www.cometchat.com/ – which is quite close to FB’s footer chat.

Some other alternatives are listed here:

A lot of people will be loving this plugin. Thanks for contributing, firetag!

Got a question, I haven’t tested the plugin yet, but in the installation FAQ, you say that no groups should be created before using the plugin. Is it safe to use on an existing installation with groups?

Easy answer is install the BP Template Pack plugin. This will keep the look of your site while adding BP functionality. This will not add BP pages under the “forum” page though.

If you want everything BP-related including member profiles, groups, etc. to reside under the “forum” slug (eg. thecoalcity.com/forum/members/admin and thecoalcity.com/forum/groups/), you’d first have to deactivate Simple:Press, then you’d have to activate WordPress 3.0 in subdirectory network mode. Lastly, you could install BP on a sub-blog called “forum”.

This may be more work than you’re willing to do to set this up.

WP-FB-AutoConnect works for me.

@firetag I couldn’t be happier! Thank you for the “freemium” plugin. Installed on my localhost and testing right now. So far, no issues. I need to create all the categories I need to be able to report issues, if any.

@Jerrald Did yoiu get an anwer? I am in the same position and finding it hard to find a soluition.

I definately want to stay with the PATHINFO format and just need BuddyPress to use the same permalink construction.

@crashutah
That’s a good point. Incase we want different size for groups and members the only good way is to override the “bp_core_avatar_handle_crop” and may be in extreme case “bp_core_avatar_handle_upload” and that will give you enormous flexibility.
After overriding it, we can filter on “bp_core_fetch_avatar” and that will be all we need.

thanks @Ray, the patch really helped

Got the same problem. didn’t had any problems with older WP installs.
Now i’ve got :
Fresh wp3.0 install
Activated Network (MU environment)
Installed BuddyPress via automatic plugin search function.

And now i’ve got 404’s on allmost all links : http://wp3.vergetest.nl/
the about section is working perfectly …

Any news on this issue?

Hello Ali,

nice plugin. Thanks for it. That solved the problems with the German special characters in the feed titles.
I wrote about your plugin in my blog: http://www.wptoolbox.de/plugins/2010/07/rss-character-fixer-gehebt-fehler-in-buddypress-feed/
Maybe more German friends will notice it.

@sbrajesh It seems like the group avatar’s use this same code. How would you call the bp_core_fetch_avatar of varying sizes for groups by group id?
