Thanks for the fix, @herostrat.
I’ve posted a patch for issue on the BP Trac:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2556
Thanks again!
Do you need an external bbPress installation? If you don’t know why you need external instead of an internal install, you need to use internal — go to the wp-admin panel > BuddyPress > Forums Setup > “new installation”
However, I don’t think this would break the URLs. You have a lot of plugins. Please can you disable them all AND revert to bp-default, and see if it is still broken? If it works, re-enable plugins one at a time and test until it stops working.
@ninamorena Wow, I’m not sure. That’s not a good thing to change. I assume you have a good reason for not installing WordPress at http://example.net/?
@mercime I think so, I’ve not come across this before.
Just checking in; haven’t had time to look, but haven’t forgotten.
I know you can display HTML in forum posts here, at buddypress.org, using backticks, but this does not seem to work on my installation (1.2.6 w/ wp 3.0.3) Is that custom?
And is it possible to enable HTML code in messages between members?
wondering if there has been any forward movement on this. searching for some other posts…
@hnla, Understood, but I did look through the forums already and had no luck, I also posted about this issue a few weeks ago and thought it got resolved but it didn’t so instead of re-posting the same problem over I replied in my original post to try not to make any duplicate postings. As for this particular thread I probably should of just sent a message to mike to see if he found an answer.
@aphrodite @DJPaul theasybutton.com had a great tutorial (July 2009 – 42 steps in my notes) integrating bbPress 1.0.2, WPMU 2.8.4a, BuddyPress 1.0.3 which worked perfectly in old testbed but the link goes to 404 page now. I wouldn’t know if the integration would have held up with the code changes in current BP and WP versions.
There’s an older tutorial http://umwblogs.org/wiki/index.php/Integrating_WPMu,_BuddyPress,_and_bbPress which I never tried before but might help you.
As it is, you might want to wait till bbPress-the-plugin version rolls out after bbPress 1.0.3 is released – https://trac.bbpress.org/roadmap.
There’s a premium BuddyPress Global Forums plugin which I am using right now. You have a sitewide forum which integrates with BP’s group forum component or not depending on preference.
Good luck.
@mark211 rather than resurrect old posts (bad) please have a hunt through the support forum threads as the issue has been covered in some detail, if those still don’t help you please start a new post with a detailed explanation of your problem.
the @alienjackhammer solution worked for me, using the Configure SMTP plug in.
i will check that FAQ as well, thanks for pointing that out.
bbPress has been/is being re-written for its next big release; I imagine there will be a stable release out soon next year.
It is possible to use bbPress plugins, but they will need an external integration of bbPress, rather than the two-click install in the BuddyPress admin settings. This requires a degree of technical knowledge to get working properly; I don’t have a link to instructions myself, but hopefully someone will come along and share a link 
@djpaul so I was basically completely wrong with the above then! that will teach me I’ll keep my mouth shut in future. 
I think we fixed this (or something similar) in trunk. @chestnut_jp you could always make a bug report on https://trac.buddypress.org/ so we remember to double-check it.
First of all, it’s not a database version. CSS in WordPress and BuddyPress has those “get” parameters in the URL as a means of forcing browsers to refetch the file rather than use its cached version. For example, when BuddyPress is upgraded in v1.3, you don’t want people to be loading the browser cache version of the CSS for v1.2. This is exactly what hnla told you above four weeks ago.
Secondly, if your theme is trying to load two versions of that file, it’s because in your child theme (or customised version thereof) is calling it twice. I can’t comment where or how this could be happening as we can’t see any custom script you’ve put into your theme.
Finally, you should be safe to copy and paste the php snippet r-a-y gave you two weeks ago into your functions.php; just be sure to paste it before the “?>” line at the bottom of the file.
@mercime. I’m having that problem again. I’m using Linux server, Buddypress 1.2.6, WordPress MU 3.01, Apache version 2..2.9 and PHP version 5.2.6. My sql 5.0.51a-community. I’m using a VPS. My traffic isn’t that high at this time so it shouldn’t be an issue with traffic spikes.
I’ve increased the memory limit in the wp-config.php file by adding define (‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’);
I’ve increased it in .htaccess by adding php_value memory_limit 256M
I’ve also increased it in my Php.ini file.
Any other ideas?
The “My Blogs” list will only show the blog that user has *admin access* on. Not any other blog they happen to be a member of.
Thanks for your reply. I’d rather not touch the functions.php file due to a lack of knowledge of PHP.
The problem is that Buddypress is loading 2 different CSS files for the admin bar. They are:
/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css
and
/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css?ver=3.0.3
On the adminbar.css file I made changes so the admin bar stretches across the whole page.
When visiting a sub-domain blog it loads the second file called adminbar.css?ver=3.0.3 so my admin bar doesn’t stretch across the whole screen anymore. I can’t edit this file as it doesn’t exist and is inserted via a line of PHP in the header.php file.
Honestly I’m very close to giving up with Buddypress completely as I’ve been trying to resolve this issue for over a month now. No one knows why Buddypress is adding this database version of the adminbar.css file and I don’t see why it’s doing it either.
I can edit /buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css?ver=3.0.3 via Firebug and change the 1 line of code to fix the admin bar but I can’t reach that file as it doesn’t exist at all.

Hi everyone,
this may be a different problem, so i posted this separately. New members are not getting the activation email for our new BuddyPress site.
WP 3.03 single user
BP 1.2.6
BP Album+ 0.1.8
AKismet 2.5.0
Default Template
Bluehost is the server
http://gardenfork.tv/forum/ which is a subdomain
This is a new install I did last week. I have not modified the template or files.
User data and posts imported from Ning, thanks to Boone
thanks again, eric.
Amazing @herostrat, thank you. I appreciate your (relative) code-savviness!
WordPress 3.0.3
BuddyPress 1.2.6
BP Group Documents 0.3.5
Plus a custom functions.php file which makes the autocomplete pick up all members not just friends, but this bug was happening before I created this file.
please list all buddypress related plugins first.
Hello Buddypressers,
We have been using WPMU since 2006 in Dearborn Public Schools in Dearborn, MI. We have a very active teacher and student Buddypress setup with some features that I have not seen elsewhere. Our main teacher blogging tool we call iBlog and the student website is called Engage.
Teachers: http://blog.dearbornschools.org
Student: http://engage.dearbornschools.org
Two of the most exciting features we can now offer staff are integrated web conferencing using BigBlueButton and Video/Multimedia using Kaltura. Our teachers can create web conference rooms complete with whiteboard, chat, audio/video, document sharing, and desktop sharing. It is very powerful and also open source. Kaltura video allows teachers to record right from their webcam and with a few clicks embed it into the blog. They can also upload video clips and actually “edit” them using Kaltura’s powerful online tools. No software needed. It is all done in the browser. Adding transitions, audio tracks, additional clips, etc is all possible.
Here are some examples:
BigBlueButton: http://blog.dearbornschools.org/webmaster
(Look on the right siedbar for Web Conference. Enter your name and password is ‘ school ‘) You will be entering the conference with Attendee status.
Kaltura Video: http://blog.dearbornschools.org/webmaster/kaltura-test-video/
(At the bottom of the video player you will find two buttons. One for uploading and one for editing the video. Go ahead and click to see how easy the webcam recording and editing is.)
Our student website is a walled garden. You must be a staff or student to login. We do allow students to be public at the request of the teacher. Here is an example of some student art portfolios: http://engage.dearbornschools.org/designconcepts/
Hey guys,
Im having a common issue but the threads so far havent helped me so i started this one, hope you dont mind.
Was hoping someone with a bit more understanding could walk me through what ive done wrong.
Ive setup my website with wordpress via fantastico and then installed buddypress and a theme for it.
Made a test account and waited a while, checked the junk mail folder and no luck.
What do i need to do to set this up so that emails will send? Is it a bug, a server issue or what? Im happy to provide as much information and try what is needed.
Regards,
Ben.
