BuddyPress.org

You need to look at the apache_error_log. Or whatever 1and1 has decided to call the Apache log file.

You do not need to paste the entire contents of that log file in a post. Since this is a new install, what you should do is clear out the log file then recreate the issue. Then go back to the log file and see what errors are reported. List those errors, just one copy of each unique error, here.

With what you are experiencing, I would image that there is useful information in your server’s log files. How do you locate the log files?

This is a very old article, but perhaps still applies to 1and1:

If that does not help, contact them and ask for assistance in locating your log files.

Whenever you have issues with BuddyPress, the best course of action is to distill your setup down to the lowest common denominator. This means switching to the default BP themes (bphome and bpmember) that come with BuddyPress and deactivating all plugins except BP.

What happens then? If you do not have any more issues, then you know it has something to do with your custom theme, one of the plugins, or some combination.

You then start going back up the ladder one step at a time. Switch the default BP themes for your custom themes. Does the problem return? It not, then is has to do with your plugins. Activate one plugin at a time until the issue returns.

Hey – I’m somewhat of a noob with all this but fairly technically adept and have been doing OK. I have installed events via your directions and also uninstalled (deleted with the plugin delete utility) and installed again with the new “browser auto install of zip files” feature. It looks like all functionality is there except for when you go to Events on the pull down menu for the user – you get “Not Found / No Access The page you are looking for either does not exist, or you do not have the permissions to access it.” I’ve been poking through the files and didn’t see any in the mu-plugins directory but when I added the files as instructed, I got that big gnarly “cannot redeclare events” error message that was a few posts back..This is a killer plugin that I’m excited about..can you help? My environment is latest versions of wpmu and buddypress as installed in the last few days. I’m running a test environment with the “buddydress” theme that incorporates the same look and feel for wp and bp..thanks in advance for your help.

To add additional profile fields, you need to navigate to the BuddyPress submenu grouping in WPMU’s backend. If BuddyPress is installed and activated, this submenu group is found at the very bottom of the menu column.

So, go to

BuddyPress > Profile Field Setup

and set up the additional fields you want.

By default, when you activate BuddyPress, all of its components are activated. To selectively disable a component, you go to

BuddyPress > Component Setup

You need to log into WPMU’s backend as site admin ( /wp-login.php), and then go to

Site Admin > Options > Allow new registrations

and set the options you want.

Also I am unable to create an extended profile like shown in some of the demos. It only allows me change the “base” and avatar. I can’t put birthday, location, etc.

We exactly had the same question asked before.

You need to setup components from wp-admin’s buddypress menu on the left.

M,

Any word on progress, I am really excited to see the plugin.

If anyone is looking to hack the adminbar so that when users log in, they stay on the current blog they’re on, just edit the bp-core-adminbar.php file and change the reference to $bp->root_domain, under the “log in and sign up links” section, to $current_blog. Also, I took out the redirect as well. So, my login widget now looks like this:

// **** "Log In" and "Sign Up" links (Visible when not logged in) ********

function bp_adminbar_login_menu() {

global $bp;



if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {

echo '<li class="bp-login no-arrow"><a href="' . $current_blog . '/wp-login.php">' . __( 'Log In', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';



// Show "Sign Up" link if registrations are allowed

if ( get_site_option( 'registration' ) != 'none' ) {

echo '<li class="bp-signup no-arrow"><a href="' . bp_signup_page(false) . '">' . __( 'Sign Up', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';

}

}

}

the confirmation email is not sent to newly registered users

It seems that WPMU is doing its duties fine. PHP is responsible for taking care of the mail sending. The issue is most likely with your mail server. Check your mail server’s logs.

If you continue to see this behavior, you should contact your host.

found this on my error log…

[27-Jun-2009 13:20:07] PHP Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]:

Concerning the array_merge() error, that function has to do with registering new user blogs. This does not affect the initial registration of new users nor the sending of registration emails. There is a fix for this particular issue in this thread.

This is not an bug with BuddyPress. This is not a bug with anything else either.

There is a minimum image file size (50px by 50px) that must be uploaded for avatars. If the file is smaller in width and/or height than the minimum required, the extra pixels will be black.

You could change the minimum file dimensions, but it seems to me that the set minimum is more than sufficient.

hi, I am having a similar issue. When I try to post a topic, as admin or otherwise, I get the same error – “There was an error posting that topic.”

It posts to the forum though, I can see it there, but it just does not show up on the buddypress front-end. I do have that line ($bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;) in bb-config.php

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Who is your web host? My next guess is this is an out-of-memory situation. Others have encountered this with hosts like 1and1 and GoDaddy, and have fixed it by increasing the amount of memory available in their php.ini files.

Do a search through the forums and see if you can find anything relevant that helps out. If not report back.
