BuddyPress.org

Does it work for WPMU & where can I download it

Assuming you mean mobile browsers in general, one is apparently coming very soon! Check out https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-iphone-theme-update

I don’t think you can do that without significant core hacking. I recall seeing someone investigating this months ago but I’m not sure if it was on the forums or on a ticket on https://trac.buddypress.org/

Have a read through this thread, as it’s got lots of discussion about this https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/can-you-multi-site-buddypress

It’s actually fairly easy. First you make a complete backup of your existing site (files and database). Then you copy the new files across to your server and activate BuddyPress. Adjust the options and you’re done!

If you don’t feel like setting all the options again or you have created already some groups for example, then you could export your local BP database tables and import them via PHPMyAdmin into your existing site.

The same is true for any blogs you have created locally that don’t exist yet online. In this case you will have to change some settings in the database after you imported the sql file. Basically, you do a search for your local url in your online database and replace it with your real url. You will have to do the same if you import the complete local database (e.g. if you synched your local dev site already with your online site).

It’s worth saying it again: Don’t forget to backup your existing site!

FYI, Today I updated SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam for latest version of buddypress 1.2.3 compatibility

SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/

This plugin adds CAPTCHA anti-spam methods to WordPress on the comment form, registration form, login, or all. In order to post comments or register, users will have to type in the code shown on the image. This prevents spam from automated bots. Adds security. Works great with Akismet. Also is fully WP, WPMU, and BuddyPress compatible.

The screenshots were from an old version. I have updated them. The CAPCHA looks nicer now.

Today I updated it for latest version of buddypress 1.2.3 compatibility

I got all this working fine. See http://culture360.org Using WP 3.0 beta-1 and BP 1.2.3

Three things:

1. upload_path option in wp_options as per my post here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-and-wordpress-30#post-48806

2. .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^ - [L]

RewriteRule . index.php [L]

3. My quick fix for the avatar size issue as per post here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/avatar-upload-issue-1#post-50231

HTH

For avatar upload issues concerning size and if you’re getting the message: Cannot convert object of type WP_Error into string (or similar) see my post here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/avatar-upload-issue-1#post-50231

Maybe this will help some of you.

Looks like in BuddyPress 1.2.3 the avatar size check is not compatible with the WordPress thumbnailing function.

If you look in bp-code/bp-core-avatars.php, function: bp_core_avatar_handle_upload()

there is a getimagesize() call. That actually returns an array, not a single value so the if statement will not evaluate correctly and the code will always attempt to create a thumbnail. If that fails, the wp_create_thumbnail() function returns a WP_Error object, hence the message some are getting.

here’s my modded code to fix this issue:

/* Resize the image down to something manageable and then delete the original */

/* HACK made some changes to check image parameters more carefully */

$_size = getimagesize( $bp->avatar_admin->original['file'] );

if ( $_size[0] > BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_WIDTH ) {

$_thumb = wp_create_thumbnail( $bp->avatar_admin->original['file'], BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_WIDTH );

// Need to check if upload succeeded - issue with small files!

if ( is_object($_thumb) && get_class($_thumb) == 'WP_Error' ) {

bp_core_add_message( sprintf( __( 'Upload Failed! Error was: %s', 'buddypress' ),  $_thumb->get_error_message()), 'error');

return false;

}

$bp->avatar_admin->resized = $_thumb;

}

HTH

You could try what’s mentioned in this post:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/new-install-of-bp-press-cant-post-any-topics-in-forum#post-42915

Maybe something like this will help you out: http://buddydev.com/buddypress/bp-redirect-to-profile-plugin-redirect-users-to-their-profile-on-login-on-buddypress-sites/

I have WP 3.0 beta 2 and BuddyPress 1.3 svn installed and do not see a way to get members to have blogs. Maybe this is missing in the settings area?

[This is a test installation and not live]

The best way is to create a child theme, as per https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/, and to copy over registration/register.php from buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default into the child theme. Then you can make modifications til the cows come home

This thread is quite old.

Please stick to the thread you replied to:

@cpmrgmt

Are you using IIS? If so, this may help:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/404-error-on-bp-links#post-46617

Whenever my Permalinks are not set to Default, every page or link take to white page so Buddypress cannot work at all. What to do?

Thanks.

Hello

I am new here and just installed WPMU and Buddypress. This is my current issue:

Whenever Permalinks are not set to Default but to any other option, every page-link stop working.

The pages and links do normally work without a problem as long as Permalinks are set to Default.

Then I leave them working Default, what automatically stops Buddypress, since, according to message I get, Permalinks are required to get Buddypress work.

My server is Windows so I have erased the .htaccess file as directed by data provided for WPMU installation under windows server.

Any insight on how to make it work?

Thanks.

Yup that’s right.

The other thing is you might need to ensure that CubePoints is loaded as well.

Try something like this in your cubepointsbp() function:

function cubepointsbp() {

if ( function_exists( 'cp_init' ) ) {

//your ninja code

}

else {

// display error message

add_action( 'admin_notices', 'cubepointsbp_error_msg');

}

}



function cubepointsbp_error_msg(){

echo '<div class="error fade" style="background-color:red;"><p><strong>CubePoints for BP requires the CubePoints plugin in order to work. Please deactivate this plugin or activate <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cubepoints/">CubePoints</a>.</strong></p></div>';

}

Untested… but see if that works.
