As IntenseDebate exports your WP comments into its own system, your issue is more than likely caused by IntenseDebate misbehaving. Your best bet is to post a question on their support forums and let them help you track down the cause. I found these two related threads:

http://getsatisfaction.com/intensedebate/topics/intense_debate_comments_gone_missing

http://getsatisfaction.com/intensedebate/topics/after_installing_intense_debate_no_widget_no_comments_all_gone

Woah, woah. First of all, get Firebug for Firefox. It lets you inspect and amend CSS on the fly which would help you with this sort of thing.

Secondly, I just got crit by a wall of text for 10,000 damage. Please use a ‘pastebin’ service, such as http://buddypress.pastebin.com/, in future.

Thirdly, I’m also going to mark this thread as complete for your as your above post seems to suggest you have resolved your problem.

John James Jacoby, I’ve tried that, but IntenseDebate is a lot of code and I’m not that smart. Can’t find that on/off button.

I’ve deleted all database tables from one of the member blogs (wp_2_ etc.) and imported a version from before I’d installed IntenseDebate. It had no effect.

So whatever changes ID makes in the database, it is not in the blog tables. Perhaps in wp_bp_user_blogs_comments then? Or wp_sitemeta?

Can’t find any likely candidates by going through the wpdb mentions in the main IntenseDebate plugin file.

wp_1_options has several entries that look ID-related, like id_useIDComments, even after removing the plugin from the system. Is _transient_feed part of ID too?

Deleting these entries has no effect whatsoever…

Can a plugin make changes in php files?

Hey, now I realize it was me who made the question regarding ID WPMU compatability !

Glad it helped someone.

@PeterV maybe if U make your question at ID´s website/blog you can find answer to your problem.

What I would do to find the answer is take a look at the Intense Debate plugin and see what exactly it does to turn itself on and replace comments. Then, see if you can manually remove it.

Thanks again Jeff Sayre!

My main concern is now how to repair my installation. The comment system is totally gone from member blogs. I don’t see anything unusual in the database or template files.

What is going on and how can I fix it?

How can i enable intensedebate plugin for all the blogs sitewide.

Looking at the WP plugin repository for this plugin, it does not indicate that it is meant for WPMU.

Doing a quick Google I found this discussion on the IntenseDebate blog:

New Customization Options

Go 7 or 8 comments down and you’ll see this reply from Beau Lebens:

BuddyPress runs on a WPMU install, and ID is currently in use on a number of WPMU sites. There’s currently no way to “auto-activate” it for every blog created, but you can definitely activate it (and go through the install process) for each different blog you create on a WPMU install.

First, always read the “readme.txt” file before proceeding with any WPMU or BuddyPress upgrade.

Before installing BuddyPress from trunk, you need to make sure that you are running WPMU 2.8.4a. If not, you need to deactivate all WPMU plugins, upgrade WPMU, and then try again. The latest WPMU version can be found here.

Once you’ve installed BuddyPress, make sure you move the theme files into their proper location.

After completely removing IntenseDebate from the system, the default comment system is back on the main blog, but still completely gone from member blogs, even blogs created after removal of the plugin.

Is there any way to reset the member blogs without having to reinstall the entire site? How can a plugin kill an entire component like that? Where does the plugin “turn off” the default comment system? Is there a way to force comments_template() to load?

Installing Disqus did not fix the problem. Deactivated and deleted again.

Is there a setting in the database that turns off comments?

I activated it sitewide, but it totally removes the comment system on members blogs until members put in their information in the plugin. That is too complicated/confusing.

So I deactivated sitewide and reactivated for the main blog only, but the comment system on the members blogs is still gone.

Even deactivating and deleting the plugin entirely does not bring back the comment system on the members blogs -> IntenseDebate screws up your system!

Another great Auttomatic product!

Hello Madloki –

Visit this URL at BP Trac: https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and you’ll see the following:

* Zip Archive

Click on “Zip Archive” and it will download the .zip file of the latest trunk version.

Cheers,

Are you using the default theme that comes with BuddyPress or a custom theme (3rd-party theme)?

I’m using wpmu 2.8.4a with the latest trunk (r1757) on my local machine.

When i’m trying to activate the forum on some group i get the following error message:

Warning: require_once(/home/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-includes/class.bb-query.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress.php on line 25

However Forums Setup on the dahsboar says:

bbPress forum integration in BuddyPress has been set up correctly. If you are having problems you can re-install

I tried to re-install, but still get the same error. Any suggestions? Is this normal with the latest trunk?

Thanks!

Okay, we have a couple pieces of information, but need more. Please answer the questions here.

@Korhan

We all know bp 1.1 is coming out sometime this month, what is the best estimate for bp 1.2?

We do not have any estimated dates for official BuddyPress verison releases. But, just guessing, I would say that BP v1.2 will come out sometime between mid October and Late December of this year.

“”I’m currently finishing the BuddyPress Privacy Component. A private alpha test will be out within a week. It gives users the ability to set fine-grained privacy control (viewing rights) over all their data. “”

That’s excellent news. Looking forward to it.

What you need to do depends on what name is in question. Is it the member’s first, last, or nick name? Is it their full name which is displayed in the profile pane of BuddyPress? The data for those names are stored in two different places.

Also I editted his name from admin dashboard, but the name does not change? Is this a bug?

Since usernames (login names) cannot be changed, you must have tried changing either the first, last, or nick name. Did the questionable name even appear in any of those fields? Did you also select the newly-changed name in the “Display name publicly as” drop down list?

But, based on what you are saying here, I assume that the questionable name is the member’s BuddyPress full name. This can only be changed in the profile pane by the user. Currently the only recourse a Site Admin has is to go into MySQL’s backend and find the questionable field in the wp_bp_xprofile_data table.

Make sure that whatever changes you made to the user’s name in WPMU’s backend, you make in this table as well.

Just to give you a little more background into what is happening:

• When a user updates (changes) their name in the Full Name field in the BuddyPress profile pane, the changes do propagate throughout the MySQL DB. The datum in the following tables are properly updated: wp_bp_xprofile_data, wp_users, and wp_usermeta
• But, if you make changes to a user’s nickname field in WPMU’s backend, the changes are written to wp_usermeta only for that field. The changes are not written to the wp_bp_xprofile_data or wp_users table. You can have the changes written to the wp_users table if you select the proper value from the “Display name publicly as” drop down list. But, they are never written to the corresponding BuddyPress table.
• Finally, and this is even more confusing, changes to the nickname field are not written to the first name or last name meta values in the wp_usermeta table. Conversly, if you change the first name and/or last name fields, they are not combined and also written to the nickname field in wp_usermeta

So, there could be improvements in the way WPMU handles user name changes. But, it is a WPMU issue since changes at the Site Admin level in the backend are controlled by WPMU and not BuddyPress.

There is a bug in the deep integration script

if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) & !defined( ‘XMLRPC_REQUEST’ )) {

define( ‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false );

include_once( ‘/your/absolute/path/to/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’ );

header( “HTTP/1.1 200 OK” );

header( “Status: 200 All rosy” );

It looks like everything is working fine, but a user from the german buddypress forum ( mt ) find out, that wordpress overwrites the buddypress header and so there comes header 200 back and often it is a 302 or even a 404.

this is the new script from mt.

if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) & !defined( ‘XMLRPC_REQUEST’ )) {

define( ‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false );

include_once( ‘/your/absolute/path/to/wordpress/wp-config.php’ );

$wp->init();

$wp->register_globals();

I post it hire because I think it must be interesting for everyone. In fact it is really important for seo and the german forum is far away from hire…

Hello Eco Living is a brand new site focused on Eco / Green / Sustainable living.

With a magazine, social network, and blog platform (all WP / BuddyPress powered of course).

The site officially launches this month, initially with a UK focus.

We developed the site with a lot of love; there are finishing touches on the graphics (best viewed on a Mac at the moment) that we are really proud of.

The client has the site out in Beta at the moment… please let us have your thoughts.

You just use this very light plugin, http://www.matteoionescu.com/wordpress/embed-html/ or https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-fields-shortcode/ . I have used the latter.

It makes use of the custom field in embedding videos.

Finally put it online. Will remain a work in progress:
