THE CAUSE FOUND!!!

I found the cause of this issue. So obvious. Everyone who’s having this issue please follow this instruction!!

DON’T REINSTALL THE WORDPRESS OR BUDDYPRESS. You should just follow the steps below.

1. go to siteurl/wp-admin

2. go to setting -> permalinks

3. Change common settings EXCEPT DEFAULT. If you set it as default, the issue occurs.

If this doesn’t work, please reply.

Thank you all!

If you are just on a test site with no data that needs saving, then do a fresh install of everything–this means WPMU and also creating a new MySQL DB.

If not, then as this is WPMU issue and not BuddyPress, the proper place for this support request is on the WPMU forums.

I reckon as much as 25% of my users are using ie 6

Well, based on the most recent browser statistics, you have an unusual group of users!

It is very difficult to optimize a theme design for IE6. Are you using a custom theme? If so, look at the header.php file that comes with the default BP theme and make sure that you’ve included the calls to the ie6.css files.

Also, here’s a thread that about IE6 issues that may help out: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2262#post-14161

I said this in another thread about IE support:

Getting themes of any platform (not just WordPress) to work in all versions of IE can be frustrating and tricky at best, impossible at worst. I would focus on optimizing your users’ IE experience on IE8 and IE7. Some designers are not even supporting IE6 anymore. I wouldn’t even worry about IE5.5 Of course, this is only my opinion.

But heres my Site

Along with my BP site “i still figuring bp out,, hehehe”

not teh best, but its alrightszzzz

@honewatson, Is this a new plugin you are making, if so would a holy grail for new users?

You are confusing buddypress, which uses /blog/ to refer to the blog page. install it elsewhere, say “wpmu”, and try again

Yes, rpx just jumps the standard registration process for buddypress which is required. The ideal is to direct rpx users fill the required forms in the profile…

Does your plugin offer such function?

I am not sure in which sidebar you want to implement this.

If you are talking about blog sidebar in default BP theme.

1. Open sidebar.php from wp-content/themes/bphome/

2. Replace all content with following code

<div id="sidebar">

<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')

|| !dynamic_sidebar('blog-sidebar') ) : ?>



<div class="widget-error">

<?php _e( 'Please log in and add widgets to this column.', 'buddypress' ) ?> <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl') ?>/wp-admin/widgets.php?s=&show=&sidebar=sidebar-4"><?php _e( 'Add Widgets', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

</div>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php bp_adminbar_notifications_menu(); ?>

</div>

3. Check by clicking on any post from main blog.

sounds interesting, I’m using RPX for twitter, facebook, openid logins for my site, but it doesn’t support required form entries when registering an account.

Getting the same error on new signups.

I have registrations disabled. Bunches of warnings like that right after some cracking attempt to run a php file that doesn’t exist on my system. Not all of the warnings are attempts to run files such as ‘approved_checks.php’ though some are after msgs like this:

Sat Jun 20 23:09:13 2009] [error] [client 66.249.71.195] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use ‘LimitInternalRecursion’ to increase the limit if necessary. Use ‘LogLevel debug’ to get a backtrace.

It is always right after one or the other though.

https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/1562 – see, fixed already

Thanks for the reply.

One question about your word of caution: if a newer version of Buddypress is released, and I upgraded to that version, would the current 10a21 not be compatible? The reason I ask that is really a lead in to a more specific question: could I, as the site admin, upload a newer version of bpcontents and then reassign a newly recreated set of categories and tags to our existing groups, or would that have to be done by the those who are the group administrators and who originally created the groups?

Thank you so much for the time and effort you put in to developing and improving Buddypress.

Kunal17: a plugin for this would be very handy.

This hasn’t been reported by others. There have been a couple of ‘The bp themes are missing and it’s showing /themes in the bp backend instead of /bp-themes.’

Reinstall of wpmu/bp seems to solve the issue. Haven’t been able to track it down.

I just recovered from a bad spam incident on my buddypress site. A user (who looked legit) suddenly started private messaging the whole community with obviously spam material resulting in some very angry members

I will go ahead and install Akismet and a captcha during registration H.owever, is it true that each user has to obtain their own key from wordpress.com and plug it into Akismet to get it to work? Is there an alternative that I can just activate for everyone? Or can I just provide all my members with my key to activate their akismet?

Also, what steps have other BP admin used to prevent the kind of spam that I mentioned above? I do not think Akismet & the captcha during registration would have helped in this situation.

Is there a plugin that flags users who message a lot of users in a short time? Something like that might help fight spammers.

Thanks.

I’ve closed the ticket for this, I’ve not heard of anyone with the same problem. If anyone else can confirm this problem on their setup I will take a look at it.

As far as I know, there is not a widget that does that. It’s a good idea though!

You could create your own custom widget using the Featured Groups widget as a template. You would need to add CSS to create a grid pattern that positions the avatars the way you want. Here’s a post in which I describe how to make a very rudimentary grid structure using CSS.

If you do end up making this widget, consider sharing it with the community!
