We do not have enough information to provide assistance.
Please answer these questions.
To be clear, the core privacy component will offer users the ability to decide which pieces of their core-created data they want to make available to which users (or groups of users). It will not offer a mechanism to hide data from people who are not “subscribers” as subscriber is not a BuddyPress user classification or level.
For more details, I’ve created a new thread about my plugin.
Best to ask/search on the WPMU forums – this isn’t a BuddyPress question
As moderators, we cannot recommend hosting providers–at least I will not!
Here’s a thread that may help you better understand the requirements of WPMU. I would suggest searching the Mu forums for hosting suggestions.
hello, hello… my forums are pointing me to a 404 page from the main nav as well as whenever i want to add a forum to my group. bp says that they are installed correctly in the forums setup. i hit the reinstall link twice and still got the “bbPress forum integration in BuddyPress has been set up correctly” message but no luck. running the latest versions on everything — bp 1.1beta, wpmu 2.8.4a, bbpress 1.0.2. everything else is spot on though and works right out of the box. wpmu/bp is in the root with directory install. this was a fresh install for everything at michaelkuhlmann.com … no mods or additional plugins, just testing everything before i theme it.
Your welcome,
you can find the ticket here https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1021
Looking forward for a solution.
Can you recommend me a host? Thanks.
@Andy thanks, I have begun hacking the parent theme since I might need to make changes to more than just CSS.
@realistdreamer I am wanting to do exactly that, I am looking at Theme Hybrid modified to work with Buddypress. Then that can be the parent theme, from which the children can be spawned.
Ok, their max is 32MB 
. Is there a way to run it like that?
So it won’t help. Alright , then I’ll ask for a 64 MB server.
It will help but I think you will still have the same problem. This is the problem with hosting WPMU on a shared/virtual server.
My host says: “We’re sorry, we can’t up the memory limit. What we can do is move you to a 32MB server”
The WP MU default seems to be 64MB, looking at the wp-settings.php. Will it work if I move to a 32MB server and change the wp-settings.php to: define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’32MB’); ?
@diegorodrigues,
I was seeing the same errors as yourself. I solved it by placing the bbpress installation in buddypress/bp-forums and then running the one-click forums install. BuddyPress then creates a bp-config.php file in your WPMU root.
The key is having the bbpress installation in the bp-forums directory.
The 1.1 forums installation is light years ahead of the witch doctor moves you had to endure to get buddypress and bp-press to talk to each other.
OK, I almost understand. I want to use Theme Hybrid Framework and BP Framework to create a custom Parent or should that be, custom Child?
From @Detective, it sounds like I need to integrate the functionality of both frameworks and build the child(ren) off that functionality. Is that right or am I missing something?
Will that method allow the benefits of upgrades to both Frameworks?
I’ve been looking at TastyKitchen.com and VW Tankwars both on the WP.org showcase https://wordpress.org/showcase/flavor/buddypress/ for ideas for 1 blog implementations of WPMU and BP.
This is not a BuddyPress issue, I’m afraid. Have a look at the WPMU forums. It sounds like a cookie issue, or you have a theme setup wrong.
@diegorodrigues,
If you keep trying to re-install bbPress by revisiting the forum setup screen, it’s going to keep telling you to do that step manually if that directory/file does not have write access.
If it’s asking you to create that file, it means everything else is done and this is your final step that you must do manually.
When 1.1 is final this issue won’t exist because you won’t need to move the bbPress files around; they will be included in the BuddyPress1.1 zip.
@podictionary, @diegorodrigues,
It sounds like you have not yet placed your bbPress files in the buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/ directory.
Looks like you do not have bbpress installed where expected. Make sure you have a copy of bbPress in plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/
Thank you I am looking into that now.
Okay…I don’t see anything in there that is going to help me.
Can you please point it out?
“@wordpressfan, you will want to make sure that wp-contents/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/ contains all of the files that come with bbPress.
When you use the auto-install functionality of BuddyPress forums, it will create a bb-config.php file at the root of your WordPress MU installation.”
I see the above but the auto install is not creating a bb-config.
With 1.1, how do I change the H1 text to an img? I want to add my logo to the default theme – I guess via the custom.css file?
Thanks for the outline. I’ve been able to successfully create a group with a forum attached.
I appreciate all of the help I’ve received as a BuddyPress newbie. I want to “give back” by creating some docs that clearly outline the steps needed. Perhaps that will reduce the avalanche of questions on oft-answered subjects.
@jtle918,
1. White screens should show up in your server logs; check the offending process and adjust to taste.
2. Facebook Connect Plugin will probably need some adjusting for BuddyPress1.1. I know other people have experienced some lag, memory, and slowness issues using it.
3. Yay integration!
4. I know Burt hasn’t updated the group blogs plugin in a while, but your best bet to set default themes and settings would be to check out the WPMU new blog defaults plugin. You should be able to adapt that to set the blog theme on creation.
@wordpressfan, you will want to make sure that wp-contents/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/ contains all of the files that come with bbPress.
When you use the auto-install functionality of BuddyPress forums, it will create a bb-config.php file at the root of your WordPress MU installation.
Mohit Kumar, since I know you’re a regular around these parts, was this an upgrade from a previous bbPress installation? If so, is that installation external or internal? Were you previously using BuddyPress trunk, or stable release?
