BuddyPress.org

You need to get your “pretty permalinks” – one of the major requirements – working first before activating BuddyPress. Deactivate BuddyPress and change theme to default twenty ten theme. Find resolution for your permalink settings at WordPress.org forums https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting . Good luck.

Almost same topic as your first post which I replied to https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/bug-install/

== but there is no new member sign up, only a log in ==

@godcix go to dashboard > Network Admin > Settings > Settings > Registration Settings — either “user accounts many be created” or “user and blogs may be created” should be chosen. The default setting is closed registration so you have to change the setting.

Greetings all,
I am new to WordPress and BuddyPress. (The first version of WP I ever installed was 3.0.x!) and I am very very confused about how to give each BP user a “blog” of their own.

I’ve been digging through the instructions for multisite and it seems like way overkill for what I want to do.

http://www.nodepression.com is a good example of what I’d like to do. From an end user perspective, I can go to a page that is “my blog”. But as far as I can tell, it’s just an “all posts” page with a ?author=idnum parameter on the end of it. For example, my “blog” in nodepression.com is located at:
http://www.nodepression.com/profiles/blog/list?user=37d8c5io9r1pq

Just based on hacking around the site, it appears that they are using buddy press, and ucanpost and have disabled the admin bar. So the only way to post is through the ucanpost editor.

Does BuddyPress have a “user blog” type of capability or is the “blog” concept on the ND site just a set of highly customized templates?

== it returns a non-existent LINK (PAGE NOT FOUND ==
You need mod_rewrite module enabled – aka “pretty permalinks” for BuddyPress to work

== Folders to be moved are Activity, menbers, Groups, Forums ==
Not sure what you mean. If you’re using the BP Template Pack to make your WordPress theme compatible with BuddyPress, the plugin will do that for during during the compatibility process.

Well, I have gotten past this issue. I am not sure its related, but I changed the permalinks before enabling buddypress to “day and month”. This seemed to resolve I think. Otherwise I am without a clue. Tried so many variations to get this to work without much systematic success. I hate random failure OR success in software.

@nit3watch Thanks for the message, and thanks for sharing the theme. I can’t wait to check it out.

I just try it above muchad’s code and put that in your child theme function.php. It works, why? Because the characters are messing it up. Here’s workable code:
`//=Change the number of activity items to show per page
function my_custom_query_filter( $query_string ) {
$query_string .= ‘&per_page=30’;
return $query_string;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring’, ‘my_custom_query_filter’ );`

adding “Groups” page to new bp site seems to have solved it

Followed instructions from above link. All worked well.

Except

the new bp installation is not drawing in the posts from the other sites.

Any ideas about where to look to get this functionality back would be greatly appreciated.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I installed Wp 3.1.1 and then went through the multisite process and then installed buddypress 1.2.8. Installed groupblogs 1.5 Used ronaldzw fix for groupblogs – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-groupblog/forum/topic/no-bp-groupblogs-menu-under-buddypress-menu-in-network-admin/

but there is no new member sign up, only a log in. So there is no way to create a new member on the front end.

Thanks

fix a issue where by if the content area is ’shorter’ than the sidebars ( being ‘taller’ from widgets ), the content boarder breaks.

Research Faux columns for backgrounds running full height and overlapping borders using negative margins to create the illusion of a full height single borders.

What’s the issue with stripping and IE?

I trust that the ‘screw this’ chap has requested a full refund

Hey, nice one Update us here when it gets approved (I assume you’re talking about the wordpress.org list?)

@imjscn I think the beauty is that there is no wrong way of going about it. Since I use MU, I don’t need CPT since the entire subsite is dedicated to the q/a. This keeps search separate from of different content types also keeps wp-admin only dedicated to q/a. I can only imagine when you do CPTs that managing the CPTs under one wp-admin it could get little overwhelming keeping those apart from other content but I’m not familiar with CPTs so I don’t know. I’ve only ever used a new blog when I need a new type of content. How does search work for cpt?

Hate to say it, but I am having the same issue using WP 3.1.1 and BP 1.2.8

This is using the BP Default Theme.

Same behavior too, as it redirects after registration to the main site url. This is NOT in the root of the web server, but a sub direction if it matters (domain.com/_news/)

There seem to be issues surrounding this all across the forums with mixed updates. Anyone definitively have the solution for this as it seems people either post and figure it out or post and give up?

Thanks in advance!

@dog0012 try with this plugin https://buddypress.org/community/groups/wangguard/

@henrypwmoulton Doesn’t look to be compatible with BP and it looks more like a forum custom post type. Reminds me of a premium theme http://wordpressqa.com/
Having said that, the best way to find out if that plugin is compatible with BP would be to ask the plugin devs at http://wp-answers.com/contact

@dcaccavo thanks for sharing. Is this for latest versions – WordPress 3.1.1, BuddyPress 1.2.8 and bbPress 1.0.3?

The last time I did an external bbPress install for BP was more than a year ago and it took me about 38++ steps If I recall well, that was bbPress 1.0.2 with WPMU 2.8.4a and BP 1.1.2 or something I think…

How’s the external forum working so far for you? Does posting to forum show up in sitewide Activity Stream and in member’s activity stream?
