500s are internal server errors. Check your web server’s error logs (or ask your web host to do that for you).
And I’m closing this thread, too. This sort of discussion does not benefit anyone.
To recap: There are known issues with BuddyPress.org. John Jacoby is working to address them. BuddyPress.org is never, and has never, been representative of a “demo” of BuddyPress; after all, it’s the project’s main website.
http://testbp.org is a demo site, however, and is frequently updated to the latest, cutting-edge version of BuddyPress.
have any new plugins recently come out? and where is a whole list of buddypress plugins?
On a similar thread I was told that there was some sort of “retrofit” going on and that I should check the buddyPress demo site.
I checked the buddyPress demo site and there was absolutely no information regarding the buddyPress forum bugs. However, the thread I started got locked so I could not respond.
Might be worthwhile putting your comments over on the wordpress plugin forum for buddyPress so people know what they’re getting.
this is the htaccess.file I have not found the error logs yet. I did go through the wizard after installing.

Logged in this morning to update blog and all of the pages on http://www.ProjectTwenty1.com seem to link to my Site Activity. Not sure what to do – didn’t upgrade/touch anything, just made a new blog post! Updated to new WordPress (3.2.1) and I’m running BuddyPress 1.5.1.
@apeatling this is really bad that buddypress forums doesn’t even work …. its scary i think as it should be working better not worse than our own buddypress sites ….. the forum and profiles on this site are pretty much unusable ..have brought up multiple issues but nobody ever responds ….. just now i tried to go to page 2 of a forum buddypress mobile forum and instead of page 2 of posts i get a totally blank white screen
I have the same bug in BP 1.5.1. To fix it I had to go to bp-members-template.php line 309 to replace the code with what @pcwriter posted. Should a ticket be made?
hmmm… I think I might consider a completely separate install under a sub domain or separate path so I could also experiment with a completely different set of plugins, wordpress versions (like 3.3 beta), as well as themes. I am not familiar with MU to know if you can have such independence, for example, having two versions of buddypress installed at the same time.
joe
any suggestions would be appreciated for:
1) importing from default fields (i have tried a few plugins that import as WP users but not as BP users)
2) importing Importing including extended field data (extended field values do not seem to be held in the same table as user data)
Thanks !
Hi, With changes in functionality on the continuous (great) upgrades to the core of buddypress, Is there a way of creating a place for a beta theme to run on a live site in parallel with an existing theme? Maybe via a sub-domain, maybe changes to the header.php not really sure…. This would help considerably in development, has anyone done this?
It’s neither the fault of WordPress, BuddyPress or Welcome Pack that your emails are filtered into spam folders. I suggest changing the content of those emails so that email spam services are less likely to flag the email as spam. There may also be server configuration changes you could make to help.
i have installed buddypress plugin ,when clicking forum on my site i have see an error ” Fatal error: Call to undefined method wpdb::BPDB()”
Anyone here? I have had no reply to my posts here for help….still stuck & wanting to use BuddyPress-someone please try & help me?!
I’ve noticed this problem also. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Did you go through the installation wizard after upgrading to BP 1.5? What’s in your error logs? What’s in your .htaccess file?
Other possible causes/solutions https://buddypress.org/?s=500+Internal+Server
Download BuddyPress https://buddypress.org/download/ and save to hard drive.
Unzip folder and drag buddypress folder to wp-content/plugins/ in XAMP
@mercime Im using a small variation of the default theme. I’m referring to the members/single/home.php. It’s my understanding that the different member loops run through. It has the sidebar calls on it.
But what Im trying to do is have the normal 2 column for profile and a few others but I want a 3 column setup for the personal/friends activity pages.
@DJPaul, you’re a LEGEND – thank you!
Resolved –
The problem was that I had added `define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘messages’);` to the wp-config file.
Found to be a bug and added to trac:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3707
WP 3.2.1 running BuddyPress 1.5 upgraded from 1.2.10
Using a Custom Theme: Upstart Blogger Futurosity
This one is hard to write given the wording …
Anytime a member of the site makes a blog post on their subdomain blog, an excerpt is posted as a status update in the Activity Stream – this is good
When a member of the site comments on the blog post, the comment is listed in the Activity Stream as a separate status update – not so good
Request: When a member posts a comment to a blog post *on* the blog, it should show up as a reply to the original poster’s post excerpt in the Activity Stream – that would be good
Request: If comments are then listed on the original post’s excerpt in the Activity Stream, then being able to make a reply just within the Activity Stream should be turned off – for blog post updates only – don’t know if going that far is possible, but that would be good
