Yes, actually I did open a ticket about this but they didn’t answer while they answer all my other tickets instantly. I’ll open another ticket adding what you’ve told me and try again.

Thanks for the help after me admitting how few I know about WP

I had some time earlier to create a little spider that basically:

– Scans the extensions page (all 12 pages!) for the direct URL’s of each plugin
– Extracts meta-data from each of the pages (title, rating, downloads, last updated, compatible, requires.. etc)
– Normalizes a little bit
– Dumps to text file for database import or CSV

Anyhow, for about 30 minutes worth of work, I was able to get most of the meta-data into a report. Some pages threw errors, probably because I didn’t set a delay between fetches or something but I could easily improve on this and cron the process into a database. Anyhow, I was mostly curious about searching through the extensions more effectively. Here’s a sampling of the top 20 or so by downloads:

@Andrea_r, thanks, but I think it is also a little deffirent, BP must built a group first, and everyone has his own ‘timeline’ in twitter.
@r-a-y, I clicked the testbp.org, but the google tells me the link is bronken. Then I click the site Cached, and I see the page `BuddyPress Test Drive`, how to setup if there has a tutorial? is there everyone get one page like this? or still relay on creating a group?
Thanks to all.

OK now I tried deleting all the plugins. Reinstalled BuddyPress and still having the same problems.

Help!

OK I deactivated all the plugins. I also deleted all the themes except for the WP default theme.

Then I deleted the BuddyPress theme.

I reinstalled BuddyPress, activated the BP default theme.

No go.

Here are the problems:

1. No members are showing up, even though there ARE members.

2. Activity IS working — so you can see that there ARE members.

3. I went in as realfoodmedia and testing (both members) and I requested friendship from Joe Schmo. I tried to go in as Joe Schmo to accept the friendship. I saw the notification in the top menu bar. But when I tried to go to the notification page, there were no friend requests.

http://www.realfoodmedia.com/screengrabs/no-friendship-requests.jpg

Then the notification disappeared in the menu.

And, when I logged in later as realfoodmedia, and checked out Joe Schmo’s profile, it shows that I have sent a friend request. So I’m waiting for Joe to accept me but he can’t.

and, hnla ..

I wouldn’t know that – I have too little knowledge on this matter.

I wouldn’t know WP and BP are using the same email routines..

I hoped something useful from the longest entry on my topic but – you deceived me

I just tried the SMTP plugins you suggested but no matter what I do with it’s settings, it just keeps giving errors…

The below error for example;

Test Message Sent

The overhaul of the free BuddyLite theme is almost ready. The default style will look much like the theme of http://BuddyLite.com
Here’s a list of the basic theme options that will be included and accessible through a simple admin panel:

Maximum Theme Width
Minimum Theme Width
Header Height
Theme Background Image
Theme Background Image Repeat
Theme Background Image Behavior
Theme Background Color
Community Dropdown Menu Label (will be removed in BP1.3 update)
Integrate BP-Adminbar with Main Menu
Select ‘Global Search’ or Standard Buddypress Search
Search Bar in Header or in Sidebar
Sidebar Placement
Main Sidebar Width
Secondary Sidebar Width
Custom CSS

I’m also taking time to update both BuddyLite and BuddyBuilder in anticipation of the upcoming release of Buddypress 1.3.
