Tries to setup a test site using BuddyPress 1.3 and bbPress 2, but the forum in BuddyPress did not work, so I uploaded bbPress from BuddyPress 1.2.9’s bp-forums folder to my BuddyPress 1.3 forum folder.
Seems to be working for creating Group and forum topics, but when try to post reply to a forum topic, I will get “Page not found” and the url will look like example.com/club/club/groups/testgroup/forum/testtopic
My test site’s url should be example.com/club only, and I believe the extra club in the url is causing the error.
Hope the BuddyPress community can give me some help.
Thanks
I was on before with a 404 problem with creating groups. Yesterday, I finally gave up on BuddyPress, and was getting ready to delete it, until a friend of mine found he was able to create a group on my site.
All of my computers run Firefox, and he he uses IE. So, I tried it with IE, and I’m able to create groups.
Does anybody know why this is?
Hi all,
Let me first say… using Buddypress has been a thrilling and exhilarating experience. The past few months of development has no doubt had a large share of challenges, but the learning process of it all is second to none.
That said, we’ve run into significant problems replicating several functions/features of Ning on Buddypress. I suspect some of these problems may be due to the fact that we’re moving 90,000 members and most Buddypress sites are built for much smaller communities.
Specifically, we lose the ability to mass mail and mass content share with the community via admin. On Ning you can do two things. a) You can create html rich newsletters/messages that are sent directly from the dashboard, and b) You can share a discussion or blog post with all members of the network (when logged in as super admin).
Now I understand the complexities and dangers of doing such (possible blacklisting and extra server resources), but Ning is able to pull this off with ease and it’s built right into the system. I also realize there are some existing plugins out there for newsletter like functions, but they all seem to shut down at 5,000 users or less.
The second function we seem to have a hard time replicating is the media gallery system. We’ve tried a couple of plugins that allow media attachments to status updates, but there is no gallery created in user profile, nor is there a community gallery containing all media shared in the overall network.
Third, visually rich discussion editors. Where is this? Even here there is only basic tag enhanced content editors. Our 90,000 users are VERY active in the discussion forums and having this cut down is quite a drastic reduction in functionality.
Perhaps there are plugins that accomplish much of this, but I haven’t been able to find them. We have a dev that has done most of our BP work as far as theming and core functionality, but cannot afford to have extravagant plugins developed from scratch.
Would love to here some ideas if anyone has them. Thanks in advance if you do!

Topic: Redirect Issue
Hi, creating a social network site using the Buddypress package.
Have been building the site problem free for 3 days, but last night I was having problems loading my homepage and any page besides the log-in.
I get this error in my browser: The page isn’t redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
Would it be a conflicting Buddypress related plug-in?
Any insight would be appreciated.
I guess I had a picture in my head of how this would work: I would have a tab on my website “Community” and people could click on that, enter a screen name and password, and then they would be able to access the discussion forum. Not sure if that’s how it works!
I am a WordPress novice but can follow instructions fairly well. (my site is http://www.emmastangl.com)
So my questions are as follows:
1) Do i have to “create a group” in order for people to be able to join my discussion forum? I just want one plain old discussion board, with multiple topics.
2) It says you have to have registration enabled, so people can register. How do I make sure it’s enabled?
Here is my the initial info we are supposed to provide when asking for help:
1. Which version of WP/MU are you running? WordPress 3.2 (I don’t even know what WordPress MU is)
2. Did you install WP/MU as a directory or subdomain install? It’s my main website, so I think “directory”
3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? I am pretty sure it is just to http://www.emmastangl.com
4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WP/MU? If so, from which version? I was using WordPress 3.1.2 I think
5. Was WP/MU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting. Yes
6. Which version of BP are you running? 1.2.9
7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? No, I downloaded it today for the first time
8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones? I have installed a bunch that I’m not really using yet, but I guess they are still running in the background. Ad-Minister, Akismet (not registered), BuddyPress template pack, Contact Form 7, FlickRSS, Jetpack, My Page Order, Permalink Editor, Really Simple CAPTCHA, Simple Tags, WordPress Importer, WordPress Popular Posts, WP-PageNavi, WP Simple Paypal Shopping Cart, Yet Another Related Posts Plugin
9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? I have been using the Mantra theme, I did not realize it was not compatible with Buddypress. I downloaded the Buddypress Template Pack plugin, and the test worked (going to my site and looking at options under “My Account”, but since I don’t know how Buddypress is supposed to work I can’t really tell whether I have access to all the functions or not. It seemed to show up OK visually, although it moved the contents of my sidebar downwards.
10. Have you modified the core files in any way? I don’t think so
11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php? ummm I don’t think so
12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in? I don’t know, in buddypress setup I selected “use a new installation”, and it did it. Should I have said “use an existing”? Again, I just did this today so hopefully that tells you which version it is
13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files. I do not know how to access this information
14. Which company provides your hosting? Bluehost
15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else? I don’t know. I have a Windows computer.
