Q&A sites have been on the wind for a while. It’s a great way to gain traffic. Any chance we have it in BuddyPress?
ok, good to know.
So exactly what does database caching do? I know it sounds obvious, but what things are cached and what is left purely dynamic? Is it only for logged in or out users? Or both?
Sorry for being vague, but again, it would be great if there was a definitive doc on this (being WT3 and BP).
I am interested in this thread. I would like to have 3 BP networks with three separate brands and three separate URLs, but them all using the same database. That is, a user signed up in site3 can see, group with, friend, email, etc a user in site 1 seamlessly.
So site1 would be subdomain.domain1.org and typing in that URL gets you to a page where you see a a theme and branding specific to domain1.org. Site2 would be domain2.org and likewise going to that site you would see a theme and branding specific to domain2.org, and likewise for site3.
The independent branding is important, but the ability to have cross site networking is important as well.
On solution I thought of is the following:
Set up BP network with users subdomain.domain1.org/domain2 and subdomain.domain1.org/domain3. Then use the Domain Mapping plugin to map domain2.org to subdomain.domain1.org/domain2 and domain3.org to subdomain.domain2.org/domain3.
Then I would want to continue to be able to make new users like domain2.org/names and domain3.org/names.
Or is this all possible using the Multi-domains plugin?
@mercime Yes I was talking to PCWriter about this issue. The strange thing is, the admin bar displayed once the site was firts set up, and was there for about a week then it went? I used Softaculous on cPanel to install WordPress to my site, then I downloaded the BuddyPress plug in from the WordPress admin. Here is the website in question.
First of all it wasn’t obvious on how to create groups. Searched the forum and found some one direct some one to ”websitename.com”/groups/create. Did I miss something here or is that the only way to add groups?
Now about the error ”There was an error when creating the topic.”. I started with a fresh install of wordpress, buddypress and created the bbpress inside of my install. I installed no other plugins except bp-template-pack. I am not running wordpressmu. With the link above, I was able to create a group but I keep getting the error when trying to post to the forum.
There seems to be a lot of confusion in the forum about what causing this or how to solve it. At least I haven’t found the answer, so asking for some help please.
Thanks in advance.
I love everything about BuddyPress except one thing. The groups.
Having both “groups” and forums will be a bit much, I intend to only use the forums.
How do I completely disable groups?
Anyone know what files I’d have to edit? etc?
@nexla Sorry, I honestly am not sure what it is that you’re trying to say. Unless I am totally losing it, you started this topic in regards to the BuddyPress global constant in the title. I provided a solution to that in BuddyPress trunk and a screen shot of it in the works. Is there something I’m misunderstanding?
I mistakenly posted above, we are using “database” caching. Object caching did not work for us and caused many problems with others seeing other users names appear when viewing private messages as well as other object cache related issues.
== Now buddypress won’t work, its driving me insane ==
The last time I tested https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory a year ago and installed BP, it just didn’t work. Since you just created your site, why not start from scratch and install WordPress in domain root?
the register link works but the link to log in doesn’t it just keeps giving a 404 page not found error

== I added the extra bit still no joy ==
Hmm, I know the code works. I assume you revised the whole wp_nav_menu code in your functions.php with the whole code I posted above.
– Post content of your footer.php here.
– Did you create a new menu in Appearance > Menus – Choose Footer Menu from Theme Locations and clicked on Save after creating the links?
== if you click that you will get a 404 error, ==
– Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress then re-run Settings > Permalinks – Save.
Hi,
I have installed wordpress in a different directory to my root but have setup wordpress so it sends visitors to the root, ie copy index.php and .htaccess to root…
Now buddypress won’t work, its driving me insane, the register link works but the link to log in doesn’t it just keeps giving a 404 page not found error
Can someone please help, I just launched a new site and this is having a very detrimental effect on my business…..
Thanks!
MIhgt be a dumb question, but can someone explain please what relative benefits are between object aching and database caching? What are the downsides too?
We use eAccelerator on our server.
@el_terko Thank you. I should have explained before posting the link to the plugin:
You would need to create that functionality, see how TinyMCE editor is added in BuddyPress Docs plugin.
Instead of html entities for your accentuated caracters (& ea cute ; for é ) used in your buddypress-xx_XX.po language file, use octals for any message displayed by javascripts !

When I activate a theme other than the default buddypress theme, I no longer have the ability to navigate my site properly. I can click on members to the side, but it won’t let me edit my profile or anything like that. I now have a whole list of options at the bottom of the front page, but clicking on any of them just reloads the same page. Anyone experience this before or know how to fix it?
I have the same question as well. I have created a couple more field groups in Buddypress profile fields section on the dash. Alas, none but the base group shows up in registration. Any help on how to get around this would be fantastic!
@mercime I think @redsavior is only looking for a rich text editor for forums and groups entry boxes. And 3.1/1.2.8 compatible.
@redsavior Buddypress docs is a whole differente deal, adds wiki-like functionality to BP
Greg, I am using W3TC for object caching (xcache opcode) and browser caching. Along with that I am using MAXCDN as the CDN (was prior using Amazon S3). MAXCDN is set now to cache almost all of my graphics, css, and javascripts -including plugins and child-themes. One of the two sites I was referring to is a straight WordPress site: http://mustech.net and the other is a BUDDYPRESS, non-multi-site (single site), site (htttp://musicpln.org – registration only).
I’ve set up a different pullzone for each of the sites using maxcdn.
You should do some research. Maybe I missed it but I don’t see any links for pre-sales support at http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhosting/ esp. mod_rewrite? PHP 5+? GD library bundled with PHP? at least 32MB memory? etc.
There are many issues with WordPress alone on Yahoo! hosting, adding a poweful plugin like BuddyPress …

@pisanojm
What configuration of sites do you have with MaxCDN? I’ve heard there are some problems with multi-site blog farms where sub-blog uploads aren’t cached correctly.
