It’s not directly a Buddypress issue. It’s a plugin and hack issue. Where most standard wordpress blogs may only have the need for a few plugins, complex Buddypress communities have lots of plugins.
@virtuali …. my question has to do with the title of the forum topic hyperdb with buddypress
I am planning on purchasing Wishlist, but I am also planning on using BuddyPress. If I am using WordPress 3.01, can both Wishlist and BuddyPress work together in one website run by WordPress.
99.3% of the time, it’s fine with buddypress, but I am not finding any “whitelist” plugins, where is it located so I can learn more about it?
That would be great. BP.org should be a flagship IMHO.
I downloaded the WordPress Zip and the Buddypress Zip and FTP´d them up to my DreamHost domain and the problem was solved. So it´s the 1-click install the problem.
Have you not tried hnla’s solution on the database tables over here yet? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/forums-not-working-error-when-creating-topic/#post-69618
can you please tell me what database caching plugin your using to speed up mysql queries on master / slave servers?
@ds123, your merging topics from https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/speeding-up-buddypress/
Please keep on topic please, don’t post off the wall questions.
Buddypress shouldn’t slow anything down at all. Unless you have a bad host, and poor space, your site should load, and load functions, just as fast as if it was not installed.
Unless, your talking about, for instance, just buddypress components. Have you read this article? http://wpmu.org/speed-up-your-wordpress-buddypress-loading-time-with-this-quick-tip/
“This page has 33 external Javascript scripts. Try combining them into one.
This page has 21 external stylesheets. Try combining them into one.”
This is my problem and I’m guessing the problem that a lot of us are having. Cloudflare will load the CSS and JS, but there are still so many that it slows sites down.
@DJPaul can you please tell me what database caching plugin your using to speed up mysql queries on master / slave servers? i’m using hyper db seems to work but i want to use memcache will that help logged in users on buddypress? (ryan’s plugin memcached plugin)
… my slave server is a stripped down mysql server and nothing else do i need to install memcache on the slave server? (its already installed on the master)
thanks for any help!
Forum-specific notifications are not, at the moment, part of BuddyPress’s core functionality (for better or for worse).
@johnjamesjacoby has promised an upgrade of buddypress.org soon. Maybe one of the things we can hope for is that he’ll install something like the BuddyPress Group Email Subscription plugin, so that individuals can subscribe to group/forum emails.
Until then, you’ll have to check manually 
I had the typical problem that forum creation brought an error message.
I downloaded the WordPress Zip and the Buddypress Zip and FTP´d them up to my DreamHost domain and the problem was solved. So it´s the 1-click install the problem.
SEO press does work, but make sure you don’t have any other SEO plugins enabled/installed as I found it conflicted and broke.
There is a new version of SEOPress coming soon.
This does my head in.
The community would be sooo much more active if this actually worked.
I can believe that this is an old problen that hasn´t been solved by WordPress/Buddypress/bbPress I just got the “There was an error when creating the topic” and I see that none of the wp_bb_ tables have been created in the database. I don´t know if this is the problem, and I don´t know how to create new tables (I´m not a developer), but please resolve this issue it is unacceptable that it is still happening… now I hope that creating the tables resolves my problem. Any body can help me create new tables??
Hi Guys, I’m interested to understand what the combination of buddypress & wishlist will give you i.e. why have you chosen to install both?

@pjnu No, do not disable Secure Invites yet. The last time I tested Secure Invites a year or so ago, my test users had to reset to a new password when I disabled Secure Invites plugin, it was a hassle so I haven’t used the plugin since then. I don’t know if that’s one of the consequences if you disable it now.
Let me double-check on the users base in some installs, then I’ll get back to you.
Hi All, does anyone know a plugin or some code to limit the length of activity posts in groups. I have created “companies” (groups) on my site and as you can see, some of them are lengthy. I would much rather it link to the full page than display it all in the activity stream. It would be great if it just showed an excerpt with the option to “view” (as is built in to Buddypress) when the post in longer than X amount of words etc
Site: http://pantsonfire.co.za/
It got this error when I go to the website after deleting lines 61-64 and uploading:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDIF in /home/content/93/6562893/html/wp-content/themes/fishbook-buddypress-buddypack/header.php on line 67
EDIT: I fixed this by going to line 67 and deleting it then reuploading. Works great! Thank you very much.

Ahh, thank you @mercime. If I disable Secure Invites, will the registration process return to normal?
@uglyrobot many thanks for the updated plugin 
I was wrong it has been updated:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/jet-event-system-for-buddypress/
You will need to post in the appropriate plugin group for support.
N.B perhaps you haven’t upgraded Jet Events?
Hello, I have updated t othe new WP 3.1 and now I can not find jet event system in my buddypress dashboard tab or under any tab at all. I am running a social network site and I have quite a few members so far. They are all complainign about the order of the events and I know there was a option to change fopr assending, descenfding and all like that. Anywasy, now I cant find it, lol. Can I hard code the events order in the plugin?
@pcwriter I’m actually talking about on the back end – when you’re logged in as admin
@apwinthrop
Why not simply use the “Members” widget in your sidebar?
