As far as number one: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/only-one-blog-for-user

As far as numbers two and three, I’d search the WPMU forums and the WP plugin repository for possible solutions.

If you are asking if can you use some other forum software instead of bbPress as a sitewide forum, then the answer is yes. If you are asking if can you use some other forum software instead of bbPress that will share user credentials or function as a group-based forum component, then the answer is no–not without doing a lot of custom coding.

However, I believe that Simple:Press does share WP user credentials, but I am not positive about this as I do not use it.

I have the same problem. I’m using BP 1.0.3. Whenever I try to deactivate, I get the same “fatal error” message. Even when I physically delete the plugin, it remains active, but without a name. Reinstalling the plugin generates an error.

I hate to ask, but will this plugin see daylight at all?

I’m not mad or anything but the first post in this thread was started about 2 months ago. I do start wondering if this plugin might never be aviable for download?

There’s not too much you can do–unless you made a backup of your MySQL DB before messing with it in the backend.

You should always make a backup of your DB before you do anything to it that may result in changes to the data or the data schema. In fact, make a backup of your DB at the end of each coding day just incase the unexpected happens.

I assume that you did zero customizations to the data schema of your MySQL DB. If so, then just delete your current DB and then create a new one with the exact same username and password. But, if you do this, you’ll need to reinstall BuddyPress so that BP’s tables get created in the DB. You will also have to reenter any test data, but it should get you back up an running.

Also, I’m not sure why this is an issue:

I’ve customized so much code on the back end that reinstalling buddypress would be a huge pain.

Do you mean that you have hacked the core or WPMU and / or BuddyPress? If so, you should stop doing that as every time BuddyPress is updated, your hacks will be lost.

Instead of hacking the core BP files, either create your own custom plugin(s) to hold your code, or use the bp-custom.php file. That way, if and when you need to delete your install and start from scratch, you can easily do so. Just make sure you have back ups of any custom theme files, a listing of all your plugins, a copy of your bp-custom.php file, and a copy of your wp-config.php file assuming that you want to use the same MySQL DB.

Korhan-

Please report this as a bug in trac by creating a new ticket. You login to trac with the same credentials you use to log into this site.

The theme used on this site will not be made available. This question is asked about once a week. Here was the first thread that posed that question. See Andy’s response.

You can design your own theme to accomplish a similar effect–use Firefox with Firebug and see how Andy styled the theme.

I read about some plug-in that would give you the ability to do this. Search for buddypress in the plug-ins repository.

Installed! Thanks!

How about stats from Events plug-in?

If you need to deactivate BuddyPress and the problem persist, delete wp-content/plugins/buddypress

but this is not the best way :S Even if BuddyPress hasn’t yet deactivation hook in use..

You go to the themes admin and turn it off from there.

Does anyone know how much (server) memory is used by a single user visiting an integrated bbPress+BuddyPress installation (assuming standard installs and themes)? This could be a big impact on the ability of the system to scale to many users and lots of traffic.

I remember _ck_ (moderator on the bbPress forum) saying that it would be about 1MB, but that was before BackPress integrated a lot of the overlapping functionality.

How would one measure something like this?

Do you have other plugins installed that rely on BuddyPress being there? Maybe an early version of the BuddyBar, or something else? If there’s a plugin installed that requires a BuddyPress function to exist, and it doesn’t check appropriately for it being missing, you’ll experience this.

Just had a chance to see this Trace, glad you were able to get it resolved.

Just realised that it may not be a good idea using the array_shifts at the end, in case the array only contains one element. C’est la vie!

Erm, it’s working on my hosted blogs. No immediate ideas. Have you changed/upgraded the themes the member blog(s) have used?

Since you had single-user WordPress installed before, I’d suggest doing a clean install. This means making sure that you delete both the single-user WP and the newly installed WPMU files. Also, delete your MySQL database and start with a new one.

I assume that you do not have any data yet. If that is correct, then you can safely proceed down this road. If you do have important data in the MySQL DB, then you should back it up first.

Also, you should use a separate MySQL DB for WPMU. Do not use the one that you are already using for single-user WP.

Follow these instructions for help on installing WPMU. Make sure you read through all instructions linked below before beginning the install:

1. Download BuddyPress from here
2. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-wordpress-mu/
3. Read the readme.txt file that comes with the WPMU download

Then, once WPMU is installed and functioning properly, follow these instructions for help on installing BuddyPress.

1. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypress/
2. Read the readme.txt file that comes with the BuddyPress download

You would edit profile fields like this via /wp-admin/admin.php?page=buddypress/bp-xprofile.php on your installation, but it looks like you can’t add a description for the default Name theme (which you can’t edit or remove).
