Do not play around with caching plugins until you have your site running correctly and effectively, simply addressing the basics of server configuration and site should produce a site that is responsive enough for most purposes, caching will be effective if and when your site traffic starts to really grow.

Those automated speed test tools provide examples of what you can do to improve things so you will need to work your way through the list googling if your not sure what it’s referring to. gzip compression ought to be enabled as it has a big impact on page loading, you need to ask your host if they can enable mod_deflate for your site or all sites. One thing to remember is that automated tools are always just a guide and they can tend to talk nonsense sometimes so you have to know how to interpret the returned advise.

By the way tested your site and you score is not as low as you report it’s up around the ’80’ mark so not sure what you are reading, and indeed the site seems to perform within expected parameters.

Hi @boonebgorges Thanks a lot for the reply – no I actually have root on my server. So I went in and copied all the WP 3.1.3 files and installed manually, editing the connection strings myself in wp-config.php

For Buddy Press I copied the files via FTP to /plugins and installed from there. I do indeed have phpMyAdmin access. It looks like the tables are there and I can create groups and post updates in them. It’s just when I enable forums then that page shows no topics displayed. Likewise when I got to post in a public group via that group’s Forum tab it will also error. I’ve tried every solution I could read in here all day long to no avail Even clicking and unclicking the group’s permission to allow discussion forums.

I’ve tried a number of permalink structures as well – I am currently using /%category%/%postname%

I CHMOD /plugins/buddypress to 755. I made sure of course the bb-config.php is accurate and in the root. BuddyPress SQL tables are on the same db as WordPress is..

Really stumped here…

@dubsel
Get the update from here https://github.com/sbrajesh/cosmicbuddy
It supports activities/reply.

I have tried all that. Is there some bug with the latest WP and BuddyPress that just means it doesn’t work right now?

I just tried that tip above, in addition to many others. Didn’t work. Still can’t post new topics in forums. I have setup 2 public test groups, CHMOD 755 all buddypress files.. I am so depressed lol

Like everyone else I’ve tried most of the suggestions posted on this site, even just tried installing bbPress as a seperate plugin and overwriting my wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress files with the latest from bbpress.org

The crazy part is that I think I solved this before a month ago when sandboxing on the very same server I’m using now. I’ve tried the cilck/unclick tricks, etc. Are there any special CHMOD requirements perhaps? It’s such a PITB.. This problem is suffocating.

Go to /wp-admin/, into the BuddyPress -> Components menu, and disable the “Discussion Forums” component.

We’re soon going to be writing a series of blog posts about 1.3 for users and developers. Hopefully we’ll get one or two up next week sometime.

@jpfaraco the following method worked fine for me.

“

But the methods discussed in other posts did not, namely;

“ and “

Perhaps somebody more knowledgeable than I could explain why, since the first method was recommended several times in the past by @hnla – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-show-custom-profile-fields-in-a-template-file/

Follow up: Were you able to move it? I am in a similar boat.

That’s excellent news @sidjags, I think I might try this out for myself. So you’re essentially building an array of 9 image urls and then cycling through them and returning the latest value each time the function is called.

Simple and Cute!

@nicholmikey… thanks for the help on cubepoints implementation…
