Does buddypress really work easily with MultiSite Network?
if yes, how can I make the component pages to work on a subdomain site which is actually a subsite of my MU network?
on any buddypress pages I go, it says “sorry no posts were found”
Please help.
please tell me how you sync both sites to the same account?
Sidenote: edited the server directory paths, on a public site it’s best not to show full directory set up.
Installing WordPress in a directory with the same name as one of BuddyPress’ components will break things; it’s a known issue.
== could it be that the root of my bp install is in a subdomain called ‘members’? ==
Your BP/WP is not in a subdomain but rather in either a physical subdirectory or a virtual subdirectory named members. So no, not likely a problem caused by the structure.
1. Just to clarify,
a) you installed WP http://chcalgary.ca/ and then created a network with virtual sub-directory structure. One of sub-directories is http://chcalgary.ca/members , which is where you pointed BuddyPress?
or
b) you installed WP in http://chcalgary.ca/ and then created a physical sub-directory named members and installed another WP there with BP plugin activated?
2. Looks like mod_rewrite is enabled because this URL shows up correctly http://chcalgary.ca/members/category/uncategorized/ so that means you have pretty permalinks. No problem here.
3. Check that your .htaccess file is correct for either WP in physical subdirectory if structure is 1.b. above or in WP in domain root if structure is 1.a. above
4. Check your apache config if directory configured to enable “Options FollowSymLinks” & “AllowOverride All”
Is it just me? I get no notifications at all, and it’s really frustrating trying to track down posts I have made etc.,.. looking for replies.
Anyone else get this? Fix? Patch? Straight jacket?
Mhm, your install may be broken.
Delete the entire plugin, and re-install buddypress, it should fix it.
I just upgraded to wordpress 3.1, and installed BuddyPress 1.2.8. However, the plugin doesn’t get activated because of this error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_multisite() in /*****/****/****/****/****/****/html/xtremz/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core.php on line 287
I don’t have a multisite WP installation, so I’m wondering how this error came to be. Help!
@larrysmith1000 If you’re created a child theme of bp-default theme, did you surround the code in functions.php file with opening “ at bottom?
Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme, clear cache and see if you can now create a group. I assume you did not disable Groups in BuddyPress > Components. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/
Btw, what do you mean by “There is no such thing like “Create a group” in the backend.”? You create a group in front end of site.
If I recall, fishbook theme is a child theme of bp-default theme. So if there’s no header.php there, download a copy here https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php – download link at the bottom of the page. Delete lines 61-64, then upload to server wp-content/themes/fishbook folder
@mercime
Ok. Thanks for your efforts though.
While BuddyPress can be activated network-wide in a multisite installation to aggregate data from subsites, there can only be one instance of BuddyPress in either the main site or a secondary blog out of the box at this time.
Bearing that in mind, again out of the box, you could rename “Groups” as “Cities” and move forward with that. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/ – esp. test drive BuddyPress at http:/testbp.org

and in general, https://codex.buddypress.org/home/
I am looking to set up a ‘Birthday’ profile field in Buddypress that displays a month and date, but not a year. I have not been able to figure out how to remove the year drop-down box from the options on the “Edit Profile” page. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Not a buddypress problem or issue.
Go to the wordpress.org forums. https://wordpress.org/support/
I’m bowing out. @hnla‘s the man to do the job 
== Not quite, I removed the code from the config.php and the above from .htaccess ==
@harounkola so you changed it back to single WP install with BuddyPress. I still see the BP components – groups, members, etc.
Deactivate all plugins including BuddyPress and change to default twentyten theme before creating a network. There are also other reasons why your pages go blank and/or you can’t access wp-admin. One of them is that you need to increase memory limit in your server. Example of where to change it in your php.ini file e.g. to 32MB first, and if that doesn’t work, increase to 64MBis here.

It took a while.. but this should be pretty much all you need to know about setting up a CDN with MaxCDN/W3 Total Cache in combination with BuddyPress. The good parts for the people who already have a CDN running can be found at the end.. Hope it’s useful!

Hey I have WordPress MU installed with BuddyPress, and I was wondering if I could have a login/register page BEFORE anyone is able to view anything? Currently, when you go to the site it displays a blog, I would like a full page with the “login” forms and if the person doesnt have an account he can “signup”
Thanks so much!
Hi,
I am trying to change the URL where non-loggedin users are being redirected. To do this i did:
1. Add the next code to function.php:
function redirect_nonloggedin_users($current_uri, $redirect_to) {
// Redirect users to the homepage
// Caution! Exclude the homepage from ‘Private BuddyPress’ options
// to avoid redirection loops!
return get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/?from=’ . $redirect_to;
}
add_filter(‘pbp_redirect_login_page’, ‘redirect_nonloggedin_users’, 10, 2).
2. Create the file:”C:xampphtdocspruebawp-contentpluginsbuddypress-private-community-configmm-buddypress-private-community-config.php”
with the next content:
MM_BUDDYPRESS_PRIVATE_COMMUNITY::$WP_SUB_FOLDER = ‘prueba’;
MM_BUDDYPRESS_PRIVATE_COMMUNITY::$ALLOWED_URIS = Array(‘/contacts’, ‘/about’, ‘/welcome’, ‘/pagina-ejemplo’);
MM_BUDDYPRESS_PRIVATE_COMMUNITY::$REDIRECT_TO_URL = site_url(‘pagina-ejemplo’);
However, it seems not consider de config file altought i think i have saved it in the correct directory.
Any clues?
thanks!
