Hey everyone!
I’m part of the coordination of a global youth volunteer network, Activista, with youth groups working in 29 countries (primarily in the global south). We are quite an extensive group of people – more than 15.000 – who are connected in the global network.
Of course a major part of making this ‘global’ is to hook up with other volunteers online and currently we are using NING as a solution: http://www.myactivista.org
The core Activistas who are active on the site (around 1300) are pretty engaged, however we have one major problem: a heavy site and users on very bad internet connections.
It would be possible for us to lighten up the site a bit with some decent compression, but that would only take us so far. NING in itself is quite a heavy solution.
So my question here is – are there differences in what is possible on NING and Buddypress in terms of building a platform that will afford access from eg rural Tanzania with a reasonable load time?
I hope someone in here has some advice
Best,
Casper

Hello,
Sorry for my (very) poor english (I’m french).
I’ve a question for a WordPress MU + buddypress + domain mapping installation.
I’m working on a network site project for my job (a newspaper). I would like to use WP multi sites, and buddypress on main site.
But I’ve a question : activity of a mapped domain can be display on main site buddypress activity ? (like a sub-domain)
Thank you for your reply 
Bonne journée !
Well first thing, unless it’s the buddypress default theme, we have nothing to do with other themes, this is a buddypress plugin support forum.
From going to charizmatic.com, it looks like you don’t even have bp installed, if you need help with the theme, go to your theme’s site’s forums there.
Buddypress, as mentioned many, many, many times, is wired through the wordpress emails.
Buddypress has absolutely nothing to do with the emails. So don’t blame it on BP, there is nothing bp can do for the activation email really.
As through searching on forums, this issue is rising problems after problem. Bluehost seems to be big with it, so try the “Mail From” plugin.
First, forums are generally part of a group. You cannot create forums outside of the group paradigm unless you install bbpress and integrate bbpress with wordpress. Generally you don’t install bbpress and buddypress because buddypress will take over bbpress when you turn on the forum component in buddypress.
Second, if #1 is true then you have to decide what groups you will create or let your users create the groups. You can create groups for each resort, maybe even each board manufacturer, or board style, etc. You have to make those kinds of design decisions yourself or explain to your members how they can create their own groups.
Once you create a group, part of the creation or administration of the group is the decision to enable the discussion forum. Once the forum is enabled, then discussion can take place under that group. Yes all the forums can be listed in a directory, but once you get some traffic your users will click a forum link or topic link and be taken to the group that the forum belons to.
I hope that helps.
It looks like this was an insufficient memory… great if the diags utility could catch this next time. Onto new tests with buddypress.

On that page, I’m just trying to get the dark container that looks very wrong, to have a class or id of “container_single”. Where are you seeing it as that? I see just on normal pages, but I can’t find what the buddypress loops is pulling from to get that “container” class/id. I simply can’t figure out how to add “_single” to the container.
I’ve had this problem even before I installed any buddypress plugins. I’ve edited all the template files, nothing seems to work, very odd.
I’ve been learning buddypress, so maybe I can help? I don’t really understand what you’re asking. Are you asking for good plug-ins? If so, I started by searching WP plug-ins for the term “buddypress” and looked through each of them and installed the ones that fit what I wanted.
You have a fun site by the way!
OK I reinstalled all the BuddyPress plugin files.
Here are the errors I am getting:
1. I just created a new user called Joe Schmo. I went in as realfoodmedia (my admin account) and added him as a friend.
2. Then I logged out and went back in as Joe and I saw the new friend notification. When I clicked on the notification to see who wanted to be friends with me, there was nothing there. (No friends.)
3. Also no members are showing up in the Member List, and it says no one is online.
How do I fix these errors?
Have you searched the forums here on buddypress? because there are lots and lots of other topics about this.
The buddypress confirmation email is wired around wordpress emails, so it’s not buddypress’s fault, it’s most likely your host.
And I am using W3 Total Cache btw

Yup, big updates! Check ’em out at http://BuddyLite.com/
I’m overhauling the BuddyLite theme to bring it up to speed with the premium BuddyBuilder framework.
With BuddyBuilder, you can design, download, edit & share pretty much any style you like.
I have BuddyPress installed and multi-site enabled. New User Registrations and New Sites for Logged In users is enabled. It has been working fine and then over the weekend I noticed a lot of spam members/user sites. I marked them as spam and installed a captcha plugin. Everything was fine again. And then today I noticed a handful of additional spam registrations when I started working on my home page. I then marked all the new users and the corresponding blogs as spam, but when I went back to the site the Sign Up button had disappeared and going to motherofautism.com/register just redirects to the homepage. I disabled and re-enabled user registrations in the admin panel, but to no avail.
I know it was working after I installed the captcha plugin this weekend because I tested it, and I have not installed or changed any settings since (just work on finishing the design work).
Any thoughts?
Here’s the nerd version of what’s been done: https://trac.buddypress.org/milestone/1.3 You can see the closed tickets of what’s been fixed.
I think Boone or Paul are working on a summary post of the changes coming in 1.3
Any updates? I’ve been toying around with different buddypress themes but I can’t find the right fit. Keep us updated!
Yep, Achievements it’s one of the most important things to me for using buddypress (I’m Hachi, the fella of the spanish trans.)
The forums are a bit tricky, tough. To have sitewide forums integrated with activity…
It’ll be shiny to have sitwide forums out-of-the-box
Tried the latest wordpress 3.0.4 which runs fine. I go to plugins > buddypress > install. It loads correctly, but as soon as I activate the plugin I get:
“Server error.The website encountered an error while retrieving http://site.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?activate=true&plugin_status=all&paged=1. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.”
The site admin panel becomes inaccessible and I then need to manually delete the plugin from FTP.

@djpaul
Well, you answered this one:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/3007
Have you thought of a different tack?
My WordPress blog loaded very fast but since I installed Buddypress, even the blog is slow. Could anyone take a look at my site (http://highexistence.com) and give me any advice? It’s painfully slow right now….
Thanks!
Could be a bug. From wp-admin/users.php, do you mean? What versions of BuddyPress and WordPress are you using?
I’ve installed BuddyPress on my site and users do not receive confirmation emails. I can set there profile up manually and it works but still no email is sent please help!
