DJPaul was correct about me needing more tea!

When I looked at the image link you provided, it sure seemed like you were using a custom theme, not the default BuddyPress theme. It still looks like that to me.

So, you are saying that you are using the bphome theme which is installed in /wp-content/themes/ and the bpmember theme, which is installed in /wp-content/bp-themes/? You also are saying that you did not touch the code or CSS within those two theme directories at all.

If this is the case, then try reuploading just these two theme files.

Of course, this could be a browser issue. What browser are you using?

Several members have reported issues when installing BuddyPress via SimpleScripts. Did you install BP this way? If so, please read this thread and see if that helps.

If you did not install BP using SimpleScripts, then you should start a new thread. Make sure that youprovide this information in your first post.

A guy from Stackoverflow had the solution

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/948116/ajax-404-with-results-using-buddypress/957561#957561

Try adding this line of code to /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-ajax-handler.php before do_action()

status_header( 200 );

I’ve followed the tutoral “Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs” for customising text messages and it works but while browsing site an warning message occurs

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (output started at Z:homeneoforman.comwwwblogwp-contentpluginsbp-custom.php:1)

my bp-languages folder contains files: buddypress-nfm.mo and buddypress-nfm.po

my bp-custom.php looks as follows

it doesn’t contain any other code.

I’ve started the translation after upgrading to 1.0.1 version of Buddypress.

Could anybody advice me where am I wrong?

Hum, I’m at a loss as to what is going on in your particular situation.

Jpegs can be processed via the file uploader and cropper. You get a message of success, but then they are not actually written to the blogs.dir directory.

PNGs on the other hand, have issue with the file uploader and cropper. You get a 404 message but then they actual DO get written to the blogs.dir directory.

So, the permissions and ownership of the blogs.dir directory must be okay. You are able to write to this directory.

1. What are the avatar file sizes that you are attempting to upload?
2. What are the sizes of the jpg versus png files?
3. What is your setting for for maximum upload size in WPMU’s backend: “Site Admin > Options > Max upload file size”?
4. Do you have the png file format added to the list of accepted upload file formats? This option is found just above the setting for maximum upload size.

I created a ticket in trac a few days ago that may be of interest, but I do not think that it is the primary reason for your issue.

Bertjohn, the site works now. How did you fix it. I have the same problem. I installed with bluehost also. WordPress MU and Buddypress are both installed. I have no additional plugins and I’m using the default buddypress templates.

I don’t want to encourage you to do hard-coded changes, but if you want to, here are the instructions

1. Open wp-content->plugins->buddypress->bp-core->bp-core-classes.php

2. replace line 247 and 248 by following code

$total_users_sql = apply_filters( 'bp_core_search_users_count_sql', "SELECT DISTINCT count(u.ID) as user_id FROM " . CUSTOM_USER_TABLE . " u LEFT JOIN {$bp->profile->table_name_data} pd ON u.ID = pd.user_id WHERE pd.field_id=1 AND pd.value LIKE '%%$search_terms%%' ORDER BY pd.value ASC", $search_terms );

$paged_users_sql = apply_filters( 'bp_core_search_users_sql', "SELECT DISTINCT u.ID as user_id FROM " . CUSTOM_USER_TABLE . " u LEFT JOIN {$bp->profile->table_name_data} pd ON u.ID = pd.user_id WHERE pd.field_id=1 AND pd.value LIKE '%%$search_terms%%' ORDER BY pd.value ASC{$pag_sql}", $search_terms, $pag_sql );

in above code “pd.field_id=1” should be the id of Full Name field ( I think its 1 )

what’s ur link?

HTML filters are normally managed by KSES not buddypress, but maybe there’s a new function that filters HTML.

Dan-

I’m going to make just a few comments now. I’ll look at this in more detail tomorrow.

It look’s like you are using the default themes that come with BuddyPress–bphome and bpmember. Is this correct?

Pardon me if you know all this already but, when a user (one of your students) logs in, a link appears in the upper right corner of the buddybar with a link to their profile page. This link displays either their username or nickname. What is displayed depends on whether or not a nickname has been entered by the user. For all but four of your students, there is no nickname.

Now, when a student clicks this link, it will take them to their profile page. Once there, they can edit their profile. In the default BP install, there is a “Full Name” field in the profile that can be filled in.

WordPress Mu uses this data for the display in the backend–your picture #2. If the “Full Name” field is blank in their profile, then you will only see data in the “Username” and “nickname” fields, with the username used as the nickname. If a user has add anything to the “Full Name” field, then Mu will use that, and if it can, split it automatically into a “First name” and “Last name”.

The fact that 4 students have data in these fields indicates to me that they went to their profile page and clicked “Edit Profile” and then added their full name to the “Full Name” field. It is not a mystery.

Finally, when logged into WPMU’s backend, go to the “BuddyPress” menu group. Once there, click on “General Settings”. You will see a field named “Full Name field name”. Then, click on “Profile Field Setup”. There, you will see all of the currently-setup profile fields that your students can utilize. You can add, edit, or delete fields. You can make certain fields required.

You should spend some time not only in the WPMU’s backend, but also in the members’ area of BuddyPress to see how all of this works.

I hope this helps.

Infocode.eu is a new QR codes related website. Using the website You can generate dynamic, social QR codes, You can manage them: changing their content, type, etc…

I switched to the BuddyPress default themes… still failed with the media library duplicate, but I can add friends

Well, one problem isolated. So, this particular issue appears to be caused by your custom theme. Make sure that you compare the header file in the bpmember theme, or even the bpskeltonmember theme, with your custom header file. You could be missing a key line or two.

Concerning the duplicate declaration error: were you running an older version of BP before–like RC1? If so, did you delete all your old BuddyPress files from /mu-plugins/, this includes theme files.

@jeff:

I’d already marked two of those threads as resolved, and posted what was causing the problem.

They weren’t problems related to this.

I have 2 unresolved threads open: the media library duplicate declaration problem, and the failure to add a friend issue.

I’ve responded to your feedback on these in thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3000

I appreciate the helpful responses from anyone on this forum (moderators and regular users alike). Thanks in advance.

elegantjohn-

There are all sorts of strange CSS issues with your theme. You really should be using Firefox with the Firebug Add-on to help you debug your CSS problems.

As for the blockquote element within your blog posts, the width of this is set to 230 pixels in your CSS.

Also, deactivate all plugins, except BuddyPress, and see what affect that has on your layout. The geopress plugin seems to be causing some display issues.

Once a user (student) has registered, you cannot change their username. Well, not without some fancy behind the scenes stuff. You can, however, have them change their display name. In the default BuddyPress install, this is automatically set to required when a user registers. It does seem like all 48 of your students do have their real, full names entered in that field.

So, it is just these 4 students. My guess is that they used their real, full names when registering their username. So, as an example, “John Smith”, instead of “johnsmith” or “smitty2cool”. If you look in MySQL’s backend and see this for the usernames of these four students (using my example):

John%20Smith

Then this is what happened. They used their real name, space and all. Now, the existance of the space in usernames can cause issues in WPMU. But, that is a different topic.

when I look at comments made by the students, I get only their usernames

Do you mean comments to blog posts displayed in BuddyPress themes, or comments seen outside of the BuddyPress environment?

Try this: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1651

As far as your second, question, I don’t think that is currently possible. Perhaps someone else knows otherwise.

Concerning your answers In this thread.

Did you install WPMU as a directory or subdomain install? subdomains

Did you follow the detailed instructions in the WPMU’s readme.txt file about subdomain installs (listed under the heading DNS).

Did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU? If so, from which version? Yes,I upgraded wpmu when I upgraded bp to 1.0 (not sure what previous version of WPMU was)

This could be an issue. You need to follow a specific WPMU upgrade path. If you do not, you can have all sorts of issues. See these links:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WPMU

https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended

Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? 3 plugin widgets of my own that display posts from the database

…AND…

Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? customised themes

To help you figure out what is going on, you need to distill your install down to the lowest common denominator. This means stripping out all extra stuff and focusing on the barebones environment.

So, you need to deactivate ALL plugins except BuddyPress. You need to use the default themes that come with BuddyPress. If the problems go away, then it is related to your custom theme and/or one of more of your plugins.

Here are a few more questions:

1. Which hosting firm are you using?
2. Did you manually install WPMU + BuddyPress or use a one-button installer?
3. There have been a few changes over time to WPMU’s wp-config.php file. If you simply used an older file this could also cause problems. Always verify that the config file you are using is up to date by comapring it to the config file that comes with each, newly downloaded WPMU install package. Did you use the wp-config.php file that came with WPMU 2.7.1?

Hi ougian,

Have you followed instructions given on following link?

https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/installation-readme.txt

I think you have missed following line at the end of bb-config.php file

$bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;
