BuddyPress.org

I have a wishlist member plugin license that I am planning on using on a wpmu site. When I contacted wishlist asking if that plugin was compatible, they had told me that it wasn’t tested but they thought it would work just fine.

I can give you more concrete feedback in a week or so.

Other than this, unless you are interested in restricting BP-specific pages to different membership levels, you are really looking for a wpmu solution. This wpmu-dev plugin claims to do that.

David is correct. The album component is not mentioned on the current BP roadmap.

David was part of an interesting discussion we had about the album component in another thread the other day. For those of you who are interested, here is my response about the lack of an album component mention in the roadmap.

Are you asking if an albums component comes as part of BP’s core in v1.1? If so, the answer is no. Here is more information on that issue.

I would contact _ck_, the author of that plugin and ask if BuddyPress support will be added. You can post a suggest here.

That is very strange indeed. I would suggest deactivating BuddyPress and installing manually.

Which version of WPMU did you install? Was it an upgrade from a previous version? If so, which version? Have you tried disabling all your plugins to see if the error goes away?

This error has to do with a WPMU function not functioning properly. More than likely it is not a BuddyPress error. You need to deactivate all plugins, including BP, and switch to a default WP theme (one that comes with WPMU) and see if the problem goes away.

If so, then it most likely has something to do with one of your plugins. The next step would then be to switch back to the theme you were using. Does the problem return? If not, reactivate BuddyPress. Does it return? If not, reactivate another plugin…

You keep reactivating one plugin at a time, each time checking to see if the error has returned. If it has, then there is probably an issue with that plugin. Make sure that you are using the most recent version of that plugin and the it is compatible with the version of WPMU you’re currently running. If it is, then contact the plugin developer and share the issue with them.

As JasonG states, WPMU is really setup to work with a single domain. However, as he also points out, Donncha has an early-stage plugin that allows the mapping of a domain to a specific blog on a Mu install. It is called the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin.

Concerning getting the multi-site plugin to work with BuddyPress, there is a ticket in Trac that addresses a potential way to allow it to work with BP.

I think I’m getting names mixed up, but Doncha did write the domain mapper.

Just re-read, Domain mapper is what you want.

However buddypress is sitewide as is bbpress.

I am working on a domain mapper compat bbpress seperation.

Keeping bp unified is still recommended.

I think for many cases the core is still setup for single domain. Not really 100%.

Even the last bit of code I pushed Doncha gave me three test cases he wanted, tld root, subdomain, and subfolder. No combination. So just on that point it’s not an intended usage.

You may be better off with Doncha’s domain mapper. It will require a patch if your using bbpress. I’ll have upload that to him. Otherwise this allows more segregation yet the backends are tied (an using the same bb and bp press apps)

Hope I understood the question!!

(I believe what I’m about to write is relatable to the topic at hand; if not, feel free to close the thread!)

I’m just starting to grasp the whole concept of multi-sites.

From what I’ve read, it’s exactly what I want to do.

But I need some clarification.

Here’s my setup, I have WPMU+BuddyPress installed in the root:

hxxp://www.example.com (blog_id #1 should be shown here, including all its posts, categories and pages)

I want all subsequent blogs to be created from

hxxp://blogs.example.com

So that new blogs will have a subdirectory under that subdomain.

eg. hxxp://blogs.example.com/newuserblog/

Single sign-on should work across the root and subdomain.

From those that have responded to me on the WPMU forums, this should be possible with the multi-site plugin.

Now for the BuddyPress questions!

Okay, so let’s say I login to BuddyPress (which is installed in the root instance of MU) and I want to create a new blog from “My Account > Create a blog”, would BuddyPress be creating this new blog under the new Site instance (eg. the subdomain Site – blogs.example.com? This is what I would want to do. I’m guessing this would require some core hacking.

Also, if I go to hxxp://www.example.com/blogs, would this show blogs from the blogs.example.com subdomain?

Thanks for reading! Hope to hear some feedback!

The fact that, as you say, “everything works lovely” when you switch to the bp-default theme, indicates that BuddyPress is functioning properly. So, you have an issue with your custom theme.

Any WP theme will work as a BP home theme as long as some additional files are included. With v1.1 of BP, basically the version you downloaded from trunk, BP switches to a parent/child theme architecture. So, you need to make sure the custom theme you are using can function as a parent theme.

Look at the various files in the BP parent theme — bp-sn-framework. My guess is that your custom theme is missing many of those files.

More information of the new parent/child theme architecture: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/details-about-the-new-theme-architecture

If you can wait maybe a couple of weeks to a month for BuddyPress 1.1, you’ll be glad to learn that BuddyPress 1.1. won’t use XMLRPC anymore.

Hi,

I have the same problem

1. Which version of WPMU are you running?

2.8.4a

2. Did you install WPMU as a directory or subdomain install?

directory

3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?

subdirectory

4. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU? If so, from which version?

NO

5. Was WPMU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress?

Yes

6. Which version of BuddyPress (BP) are you running?

1.0.3

7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?

NO

8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated?

NO

9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes?

Standard

10. Have you modified the core files in any way?

NO

11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php?

NO

12. If running bbPress, which version?

13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files.

I don’t know how to get that.

Only the first page and admin area works… all others pages, like blogs, users, profile, etc shows:

Not Found

The requested URL /comunidade/blog was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Yes, a media library / manager makes more sense… with wire integration and bulk uploading hopefully. Now… if a user has not just a BP Profile but also a Blog… they would then have two media libraries… their WordPress Media Library and their BuddyPress Media Library. But I guess that makes sense. The Blog is almost like another world. Right?

@boinker

That is fine. I’ll set this topic to “not a support question” and we’ll see if anyone else has some ideas that may help.

WP Remix is a premium theme. You will need to go ask the 3rd-party developers of that theme if and when they plan on offering BuddyPress support to their themes. You’ve paid money to them, they should help you.

I’m setting this to resolved as it is an issue with a 3rd-party theme and not BuddyPress.

Here’s my first running Buddypress site, http://piyesta.com/

It is a social networking and web tv in one kind of site.

If you look at the roadmap, there is no mention of an photo album (or gallery) plugin. That does not mean it will not happen, it just means that it is not a priority up through v1.4. It also does not mean it will not happen before v1.4.

As with all open source projects, community contribution can significantly drive a project’s evolution. If Manoj, or someone else, comes up with what Andy (and the community) believes is an acceptable photo album component, it could get merged into BP core. Will that happen before v1.4? Will that happen at all?

Right now, Manoj’s plugin is a strong candidate. But, it does have a ways to go. In speaking with Manoj, he has said that he is waiting for v1.1 to come out before he upgrades and improves his plugin. That makes sense.

I have also discussed with Manoj the desirability to evolve his plugin into an overall media plugin–not just for photos. I personally believe that having a photo album plugin as a core component is of limited use in this day and age. Any core BP component, in my opinion, should offer as wide of a range of services as is practical. Here is what I said in another thread:

It would be nice to see an option to upload other media types as well. People not only have photos, but video, audio, text, pdf, and other document formats that could all be organized around the concept of media.

An album, then, would be a user’s place to add all the media types that they wished to share and organize. There could be sub-albums with an option to group by date, by media type, or by category or tag.

Okay… I re-uploaded the BuddyPress plugin. Maybe I was out of sequence where I did bbPress last instead of the BuddyPress plugin last on my install? Who knows, but now the elusive “Forums Setup” is showing up where it should in my Dashboard.

I have bbPress installed here: http://students.expression.edu/forums. I’m trying to integrate into BuddyPress. Where is “Forums Setup”? It’s absolutely not under my Site Admin sidebar in the dashboard for BuddyPress.

Up until an hour ago, this thread had not seen any activity for over 7 months. There have been many significant changes to the BP codebase since then. So, whatever issues the OP may have had will surely not apply to the current BP version.

Arghagain, please read this thread for your information.

I’m closing this thread as it is too old to be of use for additional discussion.

Upon looking to see if anyone has the same issue as me, I found this thread. Here is my thread https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/sitewide-activity-and-sitewide-post-problems

Have anyone finally fixes this yet?

My issue? New users sign up, their blog’s privacy is set to private even though in sign up page they set it to public. After first time log in, users can set the blog to public privacy again. It’s bothering me when blog is not public even though users want it to be when first sign up, this means when they write a blog post, it will not appear in sitewide posts widget! Also when other users visit a member that has private blog, there will be an error says that “[membername] has not created any public blog.”

I’m using buddypress 1.0.3 and wpmu 2.8.4a
