@forestwander-

Your issue is not the same as the OP. I’ve replied to your issue on your other cross post.

First of all, please do not cross post. Your issue will be addressed in time.

Secondly, did you search the forums before posting? This issue has been addressed several times in the past. It is an issue with 1and1 and how they set up hosting. It is not a BuddyPress-specific issue.

perhaps instead of giving everyone that big error, the message could be changed to tell them to place themes in the theme folder and to activate a buddypress theme.

I had the same issue as the original post here but the suggested custom CSS modification didn’t work for me. I solved the issue nevertheless, as below:

– Originally I used Remove BuddyPress Admin Bar 1.3 by Alessandro Raffa

That worked perfect (normal plugin for blog admins to use as they wish) *until* upgrading to BuddyPress 1.1. After the upgrade, the problem above appeared.

– Now I use Remove BuddyPress AdminBar 1.2 by NetWebLogic LLC

Just when I was about to mention my problem on this forum, I noticed that earlier today the “other” version (1.2) was released on the BuddyPress Developer > Plugins page.

What I did:

– I disabled the 1.3 plugin for all and mass-deactivated it.

– I enabled the 1.2 plugin and now all blogs activating it have no more space problem.

No idea why that is but I thought it might help some running the same version(s).

Hey there – I’m getting a similar, probably related issue.

I have followed the steps above regarding moving the folders etc.

However I am getting a ‘Broken Theme’ message: Stylesheet is missing & template is missing.

Also ‘BuddyPress Default Home Theme 1.0.2’ appears to be the only BP related theme available.

Thanks!

If someone could write an iPhone app, it might open doors to more people.

It worked for me – and I suspect plenty of others – so there’s probably a bug lurking somewhere.

So just to check – delete /wp-content/bp-themes/. Put the new two theme directories into /wp-content/themes/. At this point, going to the BuddyPress admin backend (in /wp-admin/) will get you a red warning box.

Then go to http://example.com/wp-admin/wpmu-themes.php, activate ‘BuddyPress Default’ (not ‘BuddyPress Social Network Parent Theme’). Then you should be able to activate the ‘BuddyPress Default 1.1’ theme on http://example.com/wp-admin/themes.php.

Marking this as resolved. The next version of BuddyPress will also include a free kitten wearing an orange hat.

madloki, he’s just released a major new version of BuddyPress 2/3 days ago. Any further release – unless there’s a genuine critical bug found, and this isn’t one – I expect will be quite a few weeks at the very least.

Obviously a trunk code fix will happen as soon as Andy or someone else contributes a fix.

Please continue this discussion on this thread.

If /wp-content/bpthemes/ exist, BP will try to use pre-version 1.1 themes.

If that folder doesn’t exist, it will load from /wp-content/themes/ as like normal WordPress. This is explained perfectly well in the upgrade documentation and throughout this forum.

Of course there’s a BuddyPress “API”. How do you think we write plugins and themes that rely on BuddyPress? If you are specifically talking about stuff like how WordPress can use XML-RPC for remote blog posts, then, no, there’s nothing like that at the moment. You could use the AJAX functions for quite a lot of stuff, however.

I would imagine this is a very low priority feature suggestion and such a thing would more likely be driven by someone writing some kind of external app.

Do not post duplicate threads.

Hehe, thanks for trying anyways!

I’ve put it in the mu-plugins folder with a file called remove-adminbar.php. And it seems to be working fine! Thanks a lot!

I am under the impression that the site reacts a bit slower right now, but that is just a feeling, no php error found there.

You are not following the upgrade instructions properly. There’s a document linked on the news post on the front of this site to an in-depth article, but:

1) Deactivate all of your plugins, but not BuddyPress (yet).

2) Remove any plugins out of your mu-plugins folder.

3) Change your theme back to the standard WordPress theme.

4) (Now) deactivate the BuddyPress plugin.

5) Delete BuddyPress off your server and the /wp-content/bp-themes/ directory.

6) Upload 1.1 and move the new themes into /wp-content/themes/.

7) Reactivate the BuddyPress plugin. Reactivate the BuddyPress theme.

Reactivate any other plugins you took out in step 1.

Doh! Good point. I did say untested.

You could try adding the line to your functions.php in the theme?

Thanks Simon!

That gets me a white page and this error message,

[02-Oct-2009 11:35:47] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_admin() in /(…)/wp-config.php on line 109

Something you must read before posting the forum.

That would be interesting.

You could (probably, I haven’t tested this) use the following in wp-config.php to remove the admin bar from the WP Admin area only:

if ( is_admin() ) define( 'BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR', true );
