BuddyPress.org

That’s because there is nothing we can do to help you on this forum, there is no german version and since Buddypress is not related with Gravatar, we can’t help you further on this forum. Try sending their support an email: support@gravatar.com.

Edit: I know that the world is bigger then my appartment, my girlfriend lives about 50 km from my appartment and I’m planning on going to Japan soon. So keep your bad opinions for yourself next time.

Tell them to learn English? I doubt that Gravatar is gonna translate it’s site just because some people don’t wanna learn English..

They do have a french version of the site though..

http://fr.gravatar.com/

I tried http://de.gravatar.com/, but that doesnt seem to work.

(They probably made a French version since It’s quite hard to learn English in France.)

Edit: Btw, Gravatar is not related with Buddypress, the only relationship they have is Autommatic.

I ran into this exact same error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_activity_install() (previously declared in …/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity.php:19) in …/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity.php on line 52

If you have a failed upgrade, I recommend reverting to a “clean” backup of your files and database from before you upgraded Buddypress or attempted reactivation.

Here’s what I did to successfully upgrade from BP 1.0.3 to 1.1.2:

1. Switch to a non-BP theme, i.e. WordPress mu Homepage 1.6

2. Deactivate ALL plugins (you’d probably be okay by deactivating only BP-dependent plugins but I did this just to be safe)

3. Delete Buddypress plugin files (/wp-content/plugins/buddypress) via wp-admin or FTP, either is fine

4. Download the Buddypress 1.1.2 zip and upload the new files to your plugins folder

5. Activate Buddypress plugin in wp-admin

I can’t comment on what changes you have done to your install or what plugins you’re running but I had similar problems with the upgrade and the steps above allowed me to successfully upgrade BP.

Chouf1, are you sure wp-login.php is even used in Buddypress registration?

Edit: Tried the code. I get an “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSEIF”.

r-a-y, I’d like to try the .htaccess solution, but the instructions are very ambiguous:

# BEGIN ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .yourbpsignupslug*

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*yourhomedomain.* [OR]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$

RewriteRule (.*) http://die-spammers.com/ [R=301,L]

# END ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION

Should I leave the dots (.) and stars (*) around ‘register’ and ‘mywebsite.com’?! What would be mybpsignupslug if I have the registration form on my homepage as well as /register?

@slicktig1

Can you confirm if this plugin works without BuddyPress activated? It might be the more strict MU kses that’s blocking the form.

Hi guys,

Thank you for the fixes posted here. I tried these and it still don’t work for my WPMU.

My site is at:

http://intercer.net/blogs/

When I click on Signup it goes to:

http://intercer.net/blogs/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://intercer.net/blogs/blogs/register

When you click on Register link at the bottom of this page or if I type directly http://intercer.net/blogs/register, it takes you to the same page.

I tried the fixes on this page and the ones indicated in:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/wp-signupphp-is-a-blank-page

No luck yet. Not sure what I am missing.

Trusktr — you mentioned to “make sure you copy over the functions in the “functions.php” file from the bp-sn-parent theme to the “functions.php” file in your own theme. Without these functions, some things won’t work like member and blog listings as well as sidebar customization when using the “home.php” template. “

I have these problems too. I put the redirect code in “functions.php” in bp-sn-parent themse (which is the theme that I use). What do you mean when you say to copy the functions into “your own theme”?

Thanks,

Lucian

My spammers all sign up with .info email addresses. Is there any way to just block all .info?

Legitimate members should use normal .com emails, like normal people.

Have a look at https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-dont-see-old-wpmu-blogs-error-hasnt-created-any-public-blogs-yet

No, I don’t. I haven’t seen these plugins discussed with BuddyPress on this forum before, either.

You probably need to talk with the author to check if they are compatible with WPMU and BuddyPress.

No, but it’s been well discussed that WordPress and BuddyPress do a relatively poor job dealing with i18n issues.

Function redeclaration warnings are usually in this case because you have a BuddyPress-specific theme, or a plugin which requires BuddyPress. You need to make sure you have no plugins active that use BuddyPress, or any code in files such as bp-custom.php etc.

Do users have to log into the wordpress backend in order to write a wiki post, or is there kinf of frontend editor?

Congratulations. You should be hired and paid by Automattic right away.

Multi-lingual webapps should be the default.

Let’s work to encourage multi-language social networking.

Looking forward to a 1.1 release.

Yes. Logged in and posted. Posts show, blogs don’t.

Okay, I’ll add a few thoughts and ask a question or two here as well–in no particular order of importance.

• When describing the avatar-uploading behavior in point 2 of your your OP, you state that:
  

  the cropper tool fails to grab the image and displays only a black 88px x 16px background “bar” in the avatar viewer.

  That behavior can indicate one or more issues. Here are a couple.

  First, it could mean that one of the dimensions of your image file is too small. By default, BuddyPress sets the small avatar at 50 by 50 and the large avatar at 150 by 150. So, if your source image is smaller than 150 on at least one of its dimensions, you could have issues with creating the large avatar. If it is smaller than 50 on at least one of its dimensions, you could have issues with creating the small and large avatar. You will see black for any missing pixels, meaning that the cropper has to add pixels to bring the image size p to the minimum required dimensions

  Second, it may be that your server is running too old of a version of the GD image library.

• In your post just above this one, you talk about using the auto-upgrade feature for WPMU. I never use the auto-upgrade feature when upgrading WPMU or BuddyPress. It is simple and quick enough to manually upgrade them and it gives you more control and assurance that it is done right.
• You mentioned that you do not have any additional BuddyPress plugins installed and activated but that you do have a couple of WPMU plugins activated. When trying to figure out issues with your setup, you need to distill your environment down to the lowest, common denominator. That means deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and using the default BP theme. So, although you only have the Akismet and Default Blog Settings plugins activated, I would suggest deactivating them when trying to figure out what is going wrong.
• Are you on a shared or dedicated server? Talk with your hosting firm to see if there is some javascript-based application that the hosting firm has running on your server that could be interfering with the basic JS operations in WPMU. For instance, a MooTools-based application that has a conflict with the jQuery framework used by WPMU. Although this is a very slight possibility since you’ve indicated this behavior has happened on three different hosts.

You can create a custom home theme and replace the blog avatars with a default image of your own if you’d like. And choosing the creator is obvious to you, but might not be what someone else wants. The creator of the root blog is the admin account, but I always create a new user right away and use that new user as my active account.

When you first install WordPress and see the default theme, is your first response to say “it’s obvious the sidebar should be on the left side.” The default BuddyPress themes are designed to include all of the functions of BuddyPress to guide everyone into how to customize the use of them to do what you want and look how you want it to, just like the included WordPress themes do.

Sure, people have made ultra elaborate theme frameworks, but don’t expect that to come bundled in the BuddyPress core. You’ve got options if you don’t like what you see, so explore them.
