BuddyPress.org

I installed buddy press successfully but when I went to switch to the buddypress theme, I started getting all kinds of 500 server errors and php errors and couldn’t get into the site or wp-admin. (sorry I didn’t write down the errors). I ended up deleting BP, but now my site’s menu is just a list of links and the sidebars on the site are below the content instead of next to it. It looks awful. AND my WP dashboard is all purple and none of the editor functions work. Could really use a lot of help! 1) need to get site back to normal and 2) afterwards, I would really like to get Buddy Press working. Thanks in advance. Site is http://kitchencavalry.com

I decided to jump into 1.5 and see what popped up on my site. Here are some of the things that didn’t work out of the box (Using Current WP and latest BP):

Plugins:

Bp-Like – Failed. via @hempsworth (will be updated soon according to him)

Activity-Stream-Bump-to-top failed. via @nuprn1 (Currently Rich is not updating this, but I hope somebody does for 1.5 as this is a most useful plugin)

External blog failed. via @bowromir

Bp-custom code that didn’t work:

Error:

Code in that section:

Line 143:
` $activities_template = new BP_Activity_Template( $page, $per_page, $max, $include, $sort, $filter, $search_terms, $display_comments, $show_hidden ); `

The most unexpected thing for me was that BuddyPress asked me to “initialize it” and I had to walk through all of the steps as if it were a new/fresh buddypress install not an updgrade…. it didn’t wipe my databases, but I was afraid that it had… is this expected behavior?

For What It’s Worth…

Hi All,

I was on my Admin dashboard for my wordpress 3.0.5 + buddypress page and when I tried to ‘disable’ the groups option in the Admin section, I sent my entire site offline with the following message:

Fatal error: Class ‘BP_Group_Extension’ not found in /home/privatee/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-group-css/bp-group-css.php on line 81

Through FTP, I tried to re-upload the buddypress-group-css plugin over top the one in question, but no such luck.

For now my site is under maintenance.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Steve
