That makes sense. I believe BP 1.0.3 will be out soon.

Thanks,

sorry about the posting on old post.

Since I already have WPMU 2.8.1 installed I may as well stick it out and wait for the BP upgrade, I’m quite new to WP and don’t want the hassle to winding back versions.

cheers

This is not a BuddyPress issue nor a WPMU issue. It has to do with properly setting up a Nginx web server. But, your best bet is to go search the WPMU forums. If you can’t find an answer, post a new thread.

Andy Peatling has said he plans an interim of BuddyPress soon to improve compatibility with WPMU 2.8.1 (via twitter). If this isn’t on the bug tracker, please post it so that he is aware – thanks.

I’m haveing exactly the same issue when I updated WPMU from 2.7.1 to 2.8.1.

I’ve tried to install another buddypress by using newly installed 2.8.1 and the same problem appears.

More precisery, all the text fields from welcome message to “how many xxs do you want to have” fields retains only one letter in a field.

I haven’t touched the core files of neither WPMU nor Buddypress. I’ve just put them on the server and installed/activated.

However, when activating Buddypress on 2.8.1, I’ve got an error massage saying that Buddypress could not be activated, although it IS activted in the plugin list (and working fine, except this widget issue.)

Running under PHP5.2.8 and MySQL 5.0.77.

First of all, since this post has not seen any activity for 3 months, it is better to start a new thread as most people that can help you will often ignore posts marked resovlved, preferring to spending their time focusing on threads that stll are unresolved. Please read this for more information.

Second, read this and see if you can find your answer.

You need to contact the developer of that 3rd-party plugin and ask them when the plan to support WPMU 2.8.1 and BP 1.0.2.

This is not a BuddyPress issue.

It is up to each widget (plugin) developer to determine whether or not their widgets are compatible with the new widget API. In theory, WPMU 2.8.1 should offer backwards compatibility with older widgets. But, it is not always the case.

In term of BuddyPress’ widgets, I’m not sure when they will be updated. If we get sufficient number of reports of their improper functioning, then we will of course fix the issue. So, if you are having issues with the widgets that come with BP, please let us know. This post is a good example!

In general, if you have a 3rd-party widget that is not working in 2.8.1, please contact the developer directly and ask when they plan to upgrade.

Coool.. can’t wait for this! great M!

@Rohan

The other programs (mu and buddypress) have indeed the correct language. Only bbpress has the problem after the deep integration.

Any ideas?

@kipperman

I’m sorry that your having issues getting BuddyPress up and running.

One request first: since this post is marked as resolved and is a month old, in general it is better to start a new thread as most people that can help you will often ignore posts marked resovlved, preferring to spending their time focusing on threads that still are unresolved. Please read this for more information.

Concerning your issue, this is a known bug that has been discussed here. Basically, BuddyPress 1.0.3, the next release coming very soon, will take care of this issue. So, in the meantime, you may need to stick with WPMU 2.7.1 and BP 1.0.2.

Also, before upgrading BuddyPress and WPMU, it is very important that you first deactivate all BuddyPress-dependent plugins. Then deactivate BuddyPress itself. Finally, it is recommended that you deactivate all other non-BP related sitewide plugins as well. Once finished upgrading WPMU, you then upgrade and reactivate BP. Then, you reactivate the other BP-dependent plugins.

hi, I have been reading this thread (and a couple like it).

I too have having the same trouble with getting BP running. All installed as per instructions, thmes move as listed but getting the same error

You do not have any BuddyPress themes installed.

Please move “/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/” to “/wp-content/bp-themes/” and refresh this page. You can download more themes here.

I have deleted all the files and re-uploaded them going through another install and the same fault occurs.

In the Admin BP setting bottom left the themes it see’s are all in the WP themes – NOT the BP themes. Like above I experiemented by copying the BP member theme to the WP themes and the BP admin Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages could then see the bpmember directory. (but obviously won’t work from there.)

I am use MU 2.8.1 and BP 1.0.2

Really really stuck – driving me mad!

@argris: chances are the deep integration is overriding your language defaults. Check if you have the correct language in all of your programs (mu, buddypress and bbpress)

There has been a workaround posted here:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/new-281-mu-buddypress-theme-bug

I completed installation of the following

WPMU 2.8.1, (trunk 1867)

BuddyPress 1.1

bbpress 1.01, (trunk 2311)

BuddyBar 1.0.3

Site:

http://www.wpmeetups.com

http://www.wpmeetups.com/forums/

Integration has been successfully set-up between Forums and BuddyPress Group Forums.

Problem: Insertion of the following in bb-config.php: (generates a white screen)

<php

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

define( ‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false );

include_once( ‘/var/www/vhosts/wpmeetups.com/httpdocs/wp-blog-header.php’ );

header( “HTTP/1.1 200 OK” );

header( “Status: 200 All rosy” );

}

Question: Will the following correction to 2 core files correct this problem:

You’ll actually need to patch two CORE files, to make this work now.

wp-includes/wpmu-functions.php on line 317 and line 352

Change _init to __constuct (__construct)

And then in wp-includes/capabilites.php on line 84 and 99

Change _init to __constuct (__construct)

Ugh… I hope this is fixed soon.

You should be upgrading the wordpress MU 2.8.1 !

Helloo sorry bringing up the dead.. but still no luck with Nginx.. is there any fix one?

my buddypress is fine but in the backend of WPMU administration has “no input specified”.

WPMU 2.7.1

buddypress 1.02

There are two plugins that you’ll need to sync up the cookies; one of them is included with BuddyPress under bp-forums/bbpress-plugins/, this one gets copied into your bbPress/my-plugins/ folder. The other you will want to download from the WordPress plugins repository (wordpress.org/extend/) and install and activate in your WordPress admin.

Once you have each plugin installed, one for each platform, configure them and follow the directions for each one, and then report back.

When do you get this error message? Like, what exactly are you trying to do when this happens? I’m not really sure what this could possibly be, other than maybe a PHP memory limit error? Or maybe the comment.php file is corrupt?

Are you using deep integration by chance?

Hi Manoj…I am trying it your way, but then I don’t see the forums option part when creating a new group once I am one, and am confused…

At

“8. Head back to your BuddyPress installation and sign up as a new user. Once you have

activated the new user, make a note of the username and password given.

9. Log back into your bbPress installation as the administrator, and head back to the admin panel (/bb-admin).

Go to the “Users” tab and look for the new user you signed up in step 8 in the list. Hit the “Edit”

link for that user, on the end of the row.”

I try creating a new user but it doesn’t show in bbPress…and then I am just fidgeting with settings, using the bbpress “Key Master” in the WP admin when trying to do the forums integration…does anybody know what else needs to be fidgeted manually to make it work?

Thanks,

Ben

Whenever a new user registers he get an email saying click this to activate.

And when I click it it takes me to a wierd place to crop avatars

Okay, I’m a little confused by what you are reporting:

1. So, are you just testing a new BuddyPress installation? Why else would you be clicking on a new user’s registration.
2. If that is the case, have you tried using two different browsers–one for each user?
3. Have you cleared old session cookies before registering a new user?
4. Which version of BuddyPress are you running?
5. There should only be one confirmation email sent. It is the one with the activation link. Are you using different emails for each account? Be default, WPMU makes sure that there are no duplciate accounts.
6. Are you using a custom themes, or the default themes?
7. Do you have any other plugins, besides BuddyPress, installed and activated? If so, have you tried deactivating them to check if they might be causing a conflict?

Make another profile entry for URL. BuddyPress is acting as it should and taking over that field for profile fun
