gsmith6673, here’s what BuddyPress does – https://buddypress.org/about/

Blogs are from wpmu, but from buddypress, but I’ve seen that when a member creates a new blog with his/her own title, the new created blog title doesn’t relfect the changes.

both. get your account at testbp.org and play around. That should give you more idea what bp is.

There is no conversion, and there is no import.

With versions of BuddyPress previous to 1.1, bbPress was an external library, meaning it was integrated with an XMLRPC bridge but was never included in the core of BuddyPress. This meant that bbPress could technically be anywhere and BuddyPress could still get at it, but it also meant that it was more difficult to integrate and make play nicely together.

Only use the existing bbPress installation option if you used a version of BP older than 1.1, or you had a separate installation of bbPress that still shared the user tables with an existing WPMU/BuddyPress installation.

sounds promising Tim and I’m looking forward to it!

Screaming won’t get you anywhere, mate. Have you tried object cache?

Hi there.

Would it be possible to work with you on this or get a copy of your code so far? I’m going to be working on something similar very soon and I’d be more than happy for us to collaborate.

Aha. I found that following the SQL instructions in this bug worked for me:

I am also curious about what the difference is between using an existing install and using one by the buddypress rules.

Will I keep a normal forum and will I get the group forums if I use an existing install or will it convert a normal forum to group forums only like the one click install does?

I think this could be what you need:

You should never modify the parent theme. When you update buddypress and with it the parent theme all your modifications will be lost.

A good tutorial source for PHP and WP is net.tutsplus.com. And of course the codex here and on wordpress.org. As for writing functions, you do that exactly like I referenced in the comment above.

Make sure that you have moved the default BP parent-child theme files into /wp-content/themes/. That means that the “bp-default” and “bp-sn-parent” folders should reside right under the /themes/ directory.

Then make sure that you have activated them as described in point 5 of the section entitled “Installing BuddyPress” in the link you provided above.

Where do you have your bp-custom.php file located? It has to be in /plugins/ and not within the /buddypress/ directory.

Since you are specifically asking about server setup, I’ll assume that you are either talking about a dedicated server that you’ll be leasing from a hosting provider, or a box that you will be setting up from scratch at your home or office.

Unfortunately, there are just too many variables to give a patent answer to that question. But here is a BP thread that might shed some light:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-and-shared-hosting

For everyone else wondering what the bare minimum setup they need in order to have a healthy working relationship with WPMU + BP, I always provide this caveat: don’t expect to get great, or even decent, performance from a a shared hosting account. It just won’t happen. Of course there are some that claim to have several hundred active users working without issue on a shared account. That could be the case. However, in my opinion, a shared hosting setup is out of the question for a really robust, business-oriented site.

There are many, many threads over at the WPMU forums on hosting providers, server requirements, etcetera. That is probably the best place to seek advice on such matters.
