I have installed the latest version of buddypress and now I want to install the site wide forums but it asks me the ftp details which I don’t have cause I don’t have a ftp server on my vps. Is it possible to install it via SSH?
@sbrajesh – The plugin “username availability checker for your site” is not working because it doesn’t show the background color of red (wrong) or green (right) of notify after I finished add the username.
I have wordpress 3.2.1, buddypress 1.5 and child theme as bp-default.
Hello is it true that bp is not seo friendly or do I have to do some changes first?
I do have: seo friendly urls,titles & description and an old domain but it’s hard to get on top why?
What would you recommened what are you doing to get on top?
@t.sjogren
does this work?
I have just noticed that the Invites page in groups hits 368 queries. Otherwise, the group activity page seems also to be heavy.

You can use the guest account to check : visitor / madras, the number of queries is shown in the footer (it is ‘requêtes’ actually in french)
Note : the widgets are cached with widget-cache plugin so they will not produce any queries.
Thanks for your help @djpaul
I doubt any pages other than perhaps the forums* should get to 100 queries, let alone 200. If you can provide any evidence of which queries are popping up on the (in your opinion) worse page, I’ll take a look
As is true with most blogs, one always gets someone trying to turn your blog into a marketing tool for their own self interests. Spammers are usually paid by the end benefitter of the post. We get our share. What I am wondering is, is there a configuration, or plug-in, or other means in buddypress to capture more information on the fraudulent visitor than just the bogus email address they leave behind. Such as the IP address, or other more accurate information. My intent is to document such information, so that when I confront the management of the company who’s ad is the target of the post, I can cite my evidence. I’ve already do the whois of the company, and in some cases it’s a company in the US so I can do something with it. (Our most recent case is a company in China selling jerseys for an NFL football team. I’m sure the NFL would like to know about them.) In turn, there is at least very stupid spammer who just may get caught up in potential litigation. I just want to track them down.
@ad33lx This issue would be better addressed by the developers of the premium plugin and theme developers in their own fora..
Hey, I have successfully installed the plugin and it was working fine with buddypress theme but it is creating problem with buddyboss theme
if you goto groups page http://zulutradeforex.com/groups/ The links and buttons are not clickable.
Please help me out
ahh found it, my php version is 5.2.17
looks like i still need to get it updated
I’ll work on that
checking again thats my version of MySQL, i’ll have to check again for the version of php
I have edited the words in bp-languages but how do I change the title of the page for BuddyPress 1.5? Example:
I have done it. In bp-language:
Groups Directory (Change to…) Groups
How to change it. Title of the Page:
`
User Groups Directory | My Site`
(Change to…)
`
Groups | My Site`
> the URL I provided is more than adequate proof that this problem occurred
It’s evidence that a problem has occurred, but not that data has been deleted from your database. There is nothing in the BP 1.5 database upgrade routine that should change display names. Again, I’m guessing that the problem lies in the logic that determines what counts as the “display name”; we don’t just pull something out of a certain field in the database, but instead use a number of settings to determine which content should be shown in the ‘display name’ areas.
> obviously something went amiss during the database upgrade for both Juan and myself
My guess (and it’s only a guess, as I’m not able to reproduce) is that it’s arising not as a result of the database upgrade, but as a result of a particular combination of local parameters that we haven’t nailed down yet. For instance, are either of you using BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE?
> At no point did I receive an error or anything indication the 1.5 upgrade wizard did not complete successfully.
Can you say more about this? In what sense did it not complete?
Hi,
What should be a correct amount of db queries on a buddypress installation?
For example, for a group activity page I reach 200 queries since I have upgraded to BP 1.5. Before, with the same plugins I had only the half.
Is it normal or should I be concerned with this?
Thanks for your help
Hi there
I would like people visiting my blog front page to be able to click on a link to my profile so they can send me a private message. I can’t see anyway to do this at the moment?
The first page people arrive at at my site is a blog not a buddypress page.
I am using the latest versions of WordPress and buddypress.
Thanks
Hi @phyz, this is fixed now. check out the new version: https://github.com/Themekraft/Custom-Community
Please help me, where can I remove Home tab from buddypress group page , i want to have only Admin, Members and Send invites tabs. Thanks.
Obviously I don’t have ‘evidence’ since I reverted to 1.2.10, BUT the URL I provided is more than adequate proof that this problem occurred and continues to affect my installation. Extended profiles are enabled. Its not theme or plugin related, because the problem persists in default with everything but BP disabled. At the link, a username has replaced the full name field in the profile header and many other parts of the site. Only about 10% of profiles have still have this issue, but with my upgrade to 1.5 it affected all profiles.
I don’t expect a solution via forum reply, but obviously something went amiss during the database upgrade for both Juan and myself. Just thought I’d let the devs know, though I realize recreating this problem would be difficult until I know more.
I can only access Sitewide Forums I create with WP default permalinks but BuddyPress says it won’t work unless I change from default. When I change from default I get a error about too many redirects or a redirect loop that won’t complete when I try to view the forum.
I have WP 3.2.1 with BP 1.5 set up as a subdirectory install in the root of a GoDaddy Linux hosting package. Group Forums turned off, Sitewide Forms activated which installed bbPress 2.0 plugin. My .htaccess file looks like:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress
There is no blank space at the top.
Any help would be appreciated.
@merchime thank you, certainly will be waiting for that.

You need to set which blog ID BuddyPress will run on in your wp-config.php file by adding this in
`define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, $blog_id );`

Re child theme:
1. if you’re going to build your style on top of bp-default styles, then you should add @import rule to get bp-default stylesheet in your child theme’s style.css and BP will respect that and won’t enqueue parent theme’s stylesheet in wp_head because you already imported it.
2. On the other hand, if you prefer to build child theme from scratch then you should add the 2nd code in this post in your child theme’s functions.php file – create one if you don’t have one yet and don’t forget the opening “ to wrap around the code.
