You’re welcome. If I recall “reports” from WP.org forums well, I believe you also need to increase your memory limits from 32MB to 64MB at GoDaddy if it’s allowed on your plan. Good luck.
If you installed WP/BP in directory http://yoursite.com/wordpress/ and if you have enabled registration and BuddyPress is activated, the link to create an account goes to http://yoursite.com/wordpress/register by default. The only way to have http://yoursite.com/register is if you installed WP/BP at domain root.
I will be surprised if GoDaddy cooperates with BuddyPress at all. I am currently working on another WordPress site that moves like molasses with GoDaddy. Fortunately for them their hosting/domain expires in a month so they can easily change hosting providers. In the case of where I am planning to install BuddyPress it looks like they have a long time left until GoDaddy ends. I probably will have to figure out other solutions to optimize WordPress and BuddyPress if it’s real slow.
Thanks for the advice about building a child theme!
That’s fine. You can bump your post if unanswered after 24 hours. All of us here are volunteers living in different time zones 
– check the generated bb-config.php file in the root of your WP install. Database info there correct?
– check your database via phpMyAdmin and see if the 7 tables needed for your Group Forums were generated. List of tables and screenshot https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/3/#bp-forums-db
Finally got my line sorted then battled for 2 days because I didnt know the wp svn was case sensitive..
Anyways, Ive added some screen shots and the plugin is sorted, would love some feed-back or feature requests.
Ps: Buddypress isnt on Klout so I used the WordPress one instead for the group scores
“if GoDaddy can handle it” is the operative phrase. At a certain point, you’d have to upgrade from shared hosting to VPS/Cloud etc.
== would I be better off sticking with the default theme and customizing it for now? ==
I recomment that you build a child theme of bp-default theme instead and customize all you want from there.
Hello!
Is it possible to remove the BuddyPress admin bar at the top of the page and move the “My Account” and “Notifications” dropdown lists to my theme’s menu in some way?
/Woolwich
I am trying to get the plugin, “BuddyPress Usernames Only (0.58)” to work, but when I activate it, nothing happens…
I am running WordPress 3.3
I am running Buddypress 1.5.2
I am using a customized theme (pandora theme) that was previously not Buddypress compatible.
My website is pokemonsocial.com
I am not sure what to do to get it to work. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Kyle
Great! I am thinking of also using it to create blogs for each of the runners and volunteers if GoDaddy can handle it. Also, would I be better off sticking with the default theme and customizing it for now?
Hi @mercime
Posting to forums seem to be working, but when I go to my profile to see my list of forum posts, that is blank.
When I try and post in a group or comment/reply to anything in the activity stream, I get the error “There was an error posting that reply, please try again.”
== I cannot post in groups or comment on activity. ==
Do you mean you cannot post in forums of plugin group or in plugin reviews?
As for status updates in groups and profiles, these have been turned off deliberately at BuddyPress.org so no error there.
Yes you can use BP. As for your hosting, noted that some newbies have encountered problems setting up BP there but since you have WP experience, you would know what to do. You aren’t planning to go multisite there, are you? Re putting BP on a subdirectory – if you can, install WP/BP at root of new physical subdomain as in http://buddypresshere.yoursite.com/, to avoid any possible interference or conflict.
Hi there.
I cannot post in groups or comment on activity. I get the following error “There was an error posting that reply, please try again.”
I also have a notification I cannot access. I am not sure whether that is related. My http://buddypress.org/community/members/erbrown/forums/topics/ is also blank
I am currently in a running team who wants to have a portal for communicating with runners and volunteers more effectively. Since I have almost 3 years of WordPress experience I’ve decided to volunteer to make this happen. I’ve tinkered with BuddyPress a little bit before but have never used it in a production environment. Will it probably be suitable for this purpose? I think they want to keep their current basic HTML site in place so I am thinking of putting BuddyPress on a subdirectory or another directory on the site. Hopefully they eventually decide to migrate everything to WordPress and BuddyPress for simplicity.
It’ll be a pretty simple setup I am guessing. I’ll probably just need to add one group in BuddyPress and have all of the participants register. Also, it seems as they have GoDaddy hosting unfortunately. Not looking forward to the loading times.
Have never tried free webhosting. Deactivate BuddyPress. Is WP working with pretty permalinks in that hosting? If not, then you have to resolve that first before installing BuddyPress.
Also, you should not have installed your WP via fantastico or any hostscript because you’ll have lots of problems getting BuddyPress to work in that set up.

Thanks,For Reply And help me.
PS: My wordpress use is 3.3.1
I moved our Buddypress site from a single installation on a subdomain to a subdomain with the same URL, but on a MultiSite installation. It seems that the email notifications are no longer working, even though the settings in the frontend haven’t changed. Can someone point me in the direction of where to look for the issue?
1 I disabled all WordPress plugins (not very graceful) by renaming the “plugins” folder in wp-content to “~plugins”
2 going back to the plugin area in the wp-admin give the message that all your plugins are gone, and therfore deactivated
3 I renamed my plugin folder ‘~plugins’ back to ‘plugins’ and all my plugins showed up in my admin again, deactivated.
4 Activating them one by one gave me a 500 error again by activating “Group E-mail Subscription” https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/
5 repating the proces, but skipping the “Group E-mail Subscription” gave me a up-to-date BP, I have to find a other solution to email my groups… (any ideas?)
In your situation where you mentioned you didn’t change the BP template files at all, you can’t hook into div#content as your theme already has it – the one which renders grey background between your content and sidebar. You could hook into `div.padder` and add this to your stylsheet:
`div.padder {
background-color: #fff;
padding: 20px;
}`
BuddyPress generates body classes for each component/specific BP pages. Check out body classes generated https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.3.1/bp-core/bp-core-template.php#L1482
If your BP theme or bp-default child theme doesn’t have one yet, copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.3.1/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/activity.php to your theme folder following the directory structure, i.e. yourthemefolder/groups/single/
Open up activity.php file and delete the following lines:
`
`
Save.
If it’s not in your theme or child theme folder, copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.3.1/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/activity-loop.php following the directory structure i.e. yourthemefolder/activity/activity-loop.php
Open up activity-loop.php and replace:
“
with
“
replace 10 with higher or lower number.
I’m also desperately looking for a way to do this so I can remove the author page and just have the buddypress profile. Does anyone know how this can be achieved?
Hello!
I have just installed BuddyPress on one of my websites and the plugin seem to work perfect except that following warning is generated:
Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/avatars/1) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/niftytub/:/tmp:/var/tmp:/usr/local/lib/php/) in /usr/home/niftytub/domains/niftytub/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php on line 195
What causes this problem and how do I solve it?
/Regards, Woolwich
