BuddyPress.org

Hey Peter,

Those are all WP plugins and not WPMU ones.

I would steer clear of them.

The Supporter plugin I listed is WPMU-compatible (and as far as I know, BuddyPress-compatible, although I haven’t tried or bought it myself! hehe).

The Invite Friends plugin hasn’t been updated for BP 1.0.2 yet.

I just checked Giovanni’s blog (the developer of the plugin) and he says that a new release will be up in a few days.

I can’t access your site at the moment because the DNS isn’t resolving to your website.

Sounds like it could be a BP issue after all, but a lot of other BP sites have comments working fine:

eg. http://simplercomputing.net/bp/blog/buddypress-chat-plugin/

Silly question, do you have comments enabled on the main blog?

twdsje, by the sound of it, I’m guessing you’re using the default WordPress MU home theme.

You can choose a different theme you know!

Do you even have BuddyPress installed?

If you do, select the BuddyPress home theme or some other WordPress theme in the WPMU admin area and you’ll see something entirely different.

That’s the beauty of themes!

Hey Peter,

It’s safe, but when upgrading to the newest BP version, you’ll have to remember to make this change again.

Either that, or until some option in the admin area is made.

I’m using BeLogical’s fix plus a CSS hack to hide the “Create a Blog” field right now.

There is no voting system, Peter. Although you can leave a message on the trac:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/835

You can login with your existing BP username and password there.

Should be an option in “BuddyPress > General Setup”.

Absolutely. Was wondering about this. Where can I leave my vote of support?

Is BeLogical’s hack safe as a temporary solution or can it cause all kinds of unforeseen mayhem?

This might sound silly but, here’s what I would do (after backing everything up). Leave your bb-config file. Delete everything else in the forums directory. Upload alpha 6. Then, upload bbPress 1. Don’t DELETE alpha 6. Just overwrite it. I’ve been messing with this upgrade for a couple of days now and if I delete/replace, the update doesn’t work. If I overwrite, it does work. Seems as though there’s a file that’s been removed from the new version that buddypress looks for.

If that doesn’t work…..

I’m wondering if your upgrade actually upgraded. The way I do the update is, I rename bb-config to something like bb-config2. Then I replace the files in the forums directory & navigate to /forums. It asks for your database info & then says “oh. There’s already a database. Maybe you want to use the upgrade script” You click the upgrade link and it does a couple changes and says it’s done. Then, I open up the newly created bb-config & (using the OLD bb-config) I put back any of the custom codes that I need such as the cookies & defines.

I hope something in there helps.

Looks like your BP site is up and running!

What is your problem again?

Are you saying you can’t access the BuddyPress menus in the WPMU admin area?

ht*tp://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=buddypress/bp-core.php

What happens when you try to go there?

It could be an issue with RewriteRules if you changed the settings in the .htaccess file…

I took a very quick look at the OpenInviter website. They state that it is Open Source yet they do not provide any link to their licensing information.

Also, there is no code repository, it is not clear exactly what the code does, and you have to provide personal information to get the code. This does not indicate open source to me.

The site offers some sort of a WordPress Plugin, but I doubt that it is released under GPL which is a violation of the WordPress GPL license.

So, you are on your own if you want to use it, but I’d recommend steering clear of OpenInviter.

This doesn’t sound like a BuddyPress issue.

It’s a WPMU issue; to be more specific, it’s a theme issue.

Do you want to show a link to comments or do you want to show actual comments?

There are number of ways to do this… theme hacking or adding a widget which displays the latest comments.

Adding a widget would be the simplest, but it depends on what you want to do.

Just ran into this issue myself.

Should be an option in “BuddyPress > General Setup”.

I’ll add a trac ticket for this.

[EDIT]

Trac ticket added – https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/835

Yes you need deep integration for the BuddyBar bbPress plugin.

Make sure you follow the instructions in the readme.txt.

Also for the forum look… unless you’re using the default BuddyPress look + Manoj’s bbPress theme (http://manojkumar.org/buddypress-theme-for-bbpress/), you’ll have to basically create a new theme that matches your WP/BuddyPress theme.

There’s no really good way around it I’m afraid.

It also works here:

http://demo.cosydale.com/forum/

It’s demo site. I’m using bbPress alpha 6, BuddyPress 1.0.1.

You need to learn CSS and basic WordPress theming skills. Below you will find a few links to get you started.

Also, since your issue has nothing to do with the proper functioning of BuddyPress, I’m changing the topic indicator to “not a support question”.

1. https://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_Design_and_Layout#Themes_and_Templates
2. http://www.w3schools.com/Css/default.asp
3. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/using-the-buddypress-themes/
4. You should use Firefox with the Firebug Add-on. It is a great tool that not only allows you to find out within which files certain CSS selectors are located, but also to temporarily change them and see what impact they have on the design.

Oooppss reading a blog post ive found a solutions that is working properly,.. in the bp-custum.php we need to comment or delete this sentence:

define ( ‘BP_XPROFILE_SLUG’, ‘info’ );

Before

>>>

01.define ( ‘BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG’, ‘streams’ );

02.define ( ‘BP_BLOGS_SLUG’, ‘journals’ );

03.define ( ‘BP_MEMBERS_SLUG’, ‘users’ );

04.define ( ‘BP_FRIENDS_SLUG’, ‘peeps’ );

05.define ( ‘BP_GROUPS_SLUG’, ‘gatherings’ );

06.define ( ‘BP_MESSAGES_SLUG’, ‘notes’ );

07.define ( ‘BP_WIRE_SLUG’, ‘pinboard’ );

08.define ( ‘BP_XPROFILE_SLUG’, ‘info’ );

10./* Some other non-component slugs */

11.define ( ‘BP_REGISTER_SLUG’, ‘signup’ );

12.define ( ‘BP_ACTIVATION_SLUG’, ‘enable’ );

13.define ( ‘BP_SEARCH_SLUG’, ‘find’ );

Dedy-

Please read this thread on the most effective way to ask for support: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/have-a-new-issue-then-start-a-new-thread

It may be necessary for you to answer all the questions in the link in that thread, but here are a few to get started:

1. Are you using the new default themes that come with BP 1.0.2 or old themes?
2. Do you have any plugins (besides BuddyPress) installed in the site with which you have issues?
3. Did you reselect the member theme in WPMU’s backend under “BuddyPress > General Settings”?

I assume you mean the members’ theme?

BuddyPress use two theme files. Here are the paths to the default theme directories:

Home theme: found in /wp-content/themes/bphome/



Member theme: found in /wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/

All the files you need to work with are found in those directories.

Got the same problem with one of the Buddypress installation in one domain.

Upgraded from RC-2 to 1.02.

But managed to get the other site with a different domain to work perfectly. Both had been upgraded following the perfect instructions on how to upgrade from RCs to 1.00 installations. Both WPMU 2.7.1 and from BP RC1 to BP 1.02.

Please help.

This is a big question that will get you a big answer. I’d suggest taking a look around this forum and the bbpress.org forums also, as there are pages and pages of discussion and documentation to help you through this. Many of which are stickies so you can’t miss them.

Manoj has made a BuddyPress style theme that matches the bphome buddypress theme, so that’s something that will help you. I just release the BuddyBar plugin to help get the BuddyBar in the forums area. There’s lots of people contributing.

i attempted deep integration – it is easy once u do it a few times

do a google search and you will find a few guides on it

i want to attempt the same for a bpmember theme
