== I have installed and reinstalled WP3.1.2 + BP 1.2.8 from scratch ==

When you say you did it from scratch, do you mean you uploaded WP files manually and not used webhost script like fantastico and the like? If you used the webhost script, I suggest you drop tables from DB, delete .htaccess file and re-install WordPress manually via FTP/cpanel. I’ve seen dozens of BP install problems arising from the fact that WP was installed using those webhost scripts.

“wp-admin/user/?c=1” usually caused by broken plugins and/or issue with caches. Do not overlook renaming mu-plugins folder (if you have one). If you are the Network Admin, check your database wp_users and you’ll be the first row

@LPH2005 cool thanks, I will give it a go – although for the moment I have moved my form to the bottom of the discussions page and added an anchor tag http://www.yeahhackney.com/forums/#newform

very cool plans and plugin! u know, i’m also now trying to build smth. described by u and not sure if it’ll be possible.

for example, i want to use this native FB registration plugin

but have no idea how to implement it

== Everything is working fine except the member profile page view.Members listing are ok but when i am trying to view the member profile it redirect me to same page mean member listing page.==

There are missing files in your installation. Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme, and see if the issue is corrected. If so, then it could be that if you’re using a WP theme and installed BP Template Pack, but not all BP template files were transferred to your active WP theme. Go to theme folder in server and check if these 13 files in 6 different folders have been transferred

== I have 20+ blogs written that have been shared all over the internet via default permalinks. ==

WP/BP versions? Are all those 20 blogs in a multisite installation or in single WP’s?

== Is there ANY way to override this or to set the custom structure so that it is exactly the same as the default? Any help would be great!! ==

It all depends on the configuration of your blogs – MS or single, but there are ways to go about this.

On multisite installation, just create another site e.g. http://mainsite.com/newsite where you can define BuddyPress and set permalinks to other than default.

On single WP, e,g, http://example.com, I would create a physical subdomain http://buddypress.example.com/ install WP at root using the same database as the example.com site but with a different prefix and share userbase — backup DB first before attempting this.

@dains it would be better
– if you posted what BP/WP versions you’re using,
– if you have deactivated all plugins and changed to bp-default theme already,
– if that Site Admin is lone group admin
– and other pertinent information.

This approach ought to work with members and groups too I think? My need is to show the “My” tabs as default in those sections. I understand the bp_ajax_querystring approach @boonebgorges put out, but can’t find any documentation on what to throw it (or even ON it – so many undocumented things in BP ).

Can I assume that in that example, ‘friends’ is the slug for that tab? If so, check me on this – I can probably just change the example to detect which main page I’m loading and throw bp_ajax_querystring the slug for the tab to load, and I’ve got my default tabs?

I would probably just use wp-pagenavi, which I’ve been using on wordpress sites for years now – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-pagenavi/. Otherwise there are a host of possibilities. You’re using a

I can’t get it working either….I hope somebody can get it to work properly

I’m wondering about the same thing. So far, I had no luck finding any workable solution.

While I’m reasonably familiar with WordPress, BuddyPress is still a mystery to me, namely, I have no clue (yet) on how to post an “activity” from within a BuddyPress plugin. The trick here, as I see it, is somehow exposing an API that allows remote sites to insert an “activity” when a button is pressed. Now this is something I know how to do using WP’s standard XML-RPC API for posts/pages/comments and so forth. BuddyPress, however, seems to have a completely different taxonomy, and none of those calls are exposed by WP’s API. Someone has a semi-abandoned project to create a XML-RPC API for BuddyPress, but it was all of a sudden abandoned a few weeks ago, the author claiming to have been victim of hackers, and deleting all documentation, examples, and warning plugin users that he wouldn’t support BP any longer.

This is not a BuddyPress-specific question. The admin of this secondary blog needs to set the other user account with a minimum of author permission.
