BuddyPress.org

@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/

The details in this thread should help: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/forums-in-v11

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?

Which version of BuddyPress are you running? As of trunk r1599 (which is just over 2 months ago), the functions bp_core_add_nav_default() and bp_core_add_subnav_item were deprecated, replaced by bp_core_new_nav_item() and bp_core_new_subnav_item().

Have you set up bbPress in wp-admin > BuddyPress > Forums setup? Did you download and put bbPress in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/ ?

Aye, depends on what shape bag you’re looking to use:)

Or with BuddyPress1.1, inherit them from a parent theme, and CSS your way out of that bag.

With BuddyPress1.1, you can also recreate a custom registration page to include only the fields you specifically want them to have on sign-up, put it in your child theme, and let it do the dirty work.

I installed 1.1 and was greeted with this:

Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Widget’ not found in D:www/myaxelis/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-widgets.php on line 14

the next time I tried to load my WPMu/buddypress page. Where did I go wrong.

As DJPaul, said, you should talk to your web host whenever you are having server issues. This WordPress codex article may help, if it does not, talking with your web host is the next option.

Yes. But any wordpress theme used on a buddypress site will have to include extra files that come with the BP theme. I.e copy them.

@John James Jacoby – is it ready what you described here 3 months ago?

I am searching for solution to make buddypress multilingual, but only in interface: theme and admin area should has multi language texts. ost dont have to be translated.

Just something like is at wordpress.com: user register and choose language. Then he see all interface in local language, write in any language he want.

Hi !

Seems to have good new functionnalities !

I have one problem though :

I use a fresh install (WPMU 2.8.4 + BuddyPress 1.1 Beta); no plugins;

I moved /bp-default and /bp-sn-parent to /themes;

and I get

Not Found

The requested URL …./wordpress-mu/blog was not found on this server.

Then I did copy my old .htaccess file to the fresh WPMU installation; and now I have

Page Not Found

The page you were looking for was not found.

What is the problem ?

For Buddypress 1.1 will there be a skeleton parent theme, or am I stuck with using the default parent theme and modifying that, then I might as well just create a child theme?

I have downloaded the bleeding edge 1.1 from trac and updated mysite. I am busy with a custom theme for my site and I would like to start with a skeleton theme. However I don’t mind hacking the default one if thats best. I am a bit new to developing WPMU themes although I have done themes for Joomla and hacked a couple of normal WP themes.
