*bump* since I edited the topic a bit. Translation still doesn’t work. I already deactiveted all plugins, activated BuddyPress with the default theme. Result: Not working!
@whitbyglennk installing BP at the root is the ideal scenario. However, it can be installed in a secondary blog of installation as well. Rephrasing @LPH2005‘s question earlier, what do you have at the root of your public folder that you cannot install WP 3.0.1/BP at root?
Following the information located here
http://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/
I’ve been able to change the labels and slugs of my installation to what the client requests.
My client though, also wants some functionality I can do via plugins (namely group blogs and documents), but their translation files still reflect the default labels. I tried to create another set of translation files from the plugin’s POT files, and load them via bp-custom but they doesn’t seem to load. I’ve only been able to get it to work via modifying the plugin’s actual load_textdomain, which is less than ideal as I’ll have to fix that everytime a plugin get’s upgraded.
Does anyone have any thoughts on why they might not load via bp-custom?
Thanks!
@techguy – what’s the follower plugin? Do you have a link?
It’s not possible with the default BuddyPress, but is possible to code – it is a fairly substantial task.
Then you have a WordPress / server config problem. You should fix this before installing BuddyPress.
You need to ask your server company and / or go onto the WordPress forums
Personally not downloaded a zip as I use SVN to grab the branch, but if you don’t have a folder after unzipping called ‘buddypress’ then yes you’ll have to rename it, it’s one of those suck it and see questions reallly.
because my photo & video plugin were designed for 1.2.3 and if I want to upgrade to their newer version I have to pay to upgrade basically.
The plugins work fine as they were, I just need to get the older buddypress plugin activated again so they start working like before.
Do I need to rename the zip file? WP doesnt seem to take it as is with the downloaded file name…
Yes, you can install WP 3.0.1 in physical subdomain and go multisite in subdirectory mode. See BuddyPress configurations available here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#bp-config
Why not upgrade to 1.2.6 when it becomes available in a few days or download the zip for the branch here and test it to see if it works for your site with those plugins. Alternatively, update the plugins to work with the latest BP version.
WP 3.0.1 would be the best install with BuddyPress 1.2.6 (released this coming weekend).
But before walking through too much detail, is there a reason you want BuddyPress on a subdomain? Is WordPress installed on the main domain?
Now, it is possible to install BP and have members create blogs using subdomains .. but maybe you have a different purpose for putting the whole community on the subdomain .. which is also possible.
There are a growing number of great themes for BuddyPress:

http://bp-tricks.com/
Also, you can take any WP theme and modify it to match the community by using the template pack.
Ok thanks, it downloaded as tags_1.2.3-r3295.zip
It installed successfully, but when I tried to activate it I got The plugin does not have a valid header.
I assume its because of the file name?
What should I rename the zip file so that when it uploads it it will install & overwrite?
Thanks.
@boonebgorges: Thanks!
@cryptidresearch: Thanks for your feedback!
1) as Sven mentioned above, the next version comes with variable header height.
2) good idea, there’ll be an option for this in the next version!
3) I will also have a closer look on the title..
You can play around with style.php and both .css-files, but all changes will be gone with the next update.
I have a few questions that seem not to fit any particular category. If the site mods move the post would they please leave me a forwarder so I knbow where to look on my return.
I am keen to use buddy press in a subdomain of an existing site. I would like to create an online community using buddypress. I would like to allow users to set up their own blogs as well as well as use the functions of buddy press. Do I need to install wordpress MU in the subdomain first or is wordpress mu now redundant ?
Also can anyone recommend a good magazine / cms theme for use with buddy press, or a theme that showcases a lot of content on the home/landing page.
Many thanks for your time and patience with me.
This question is related to the plugin wp-fb-autoconnect. I wanted to post the question in the group but I didnt know how and if its possible so I post it here. Sorry and thanks everybody!
Inside the file bp-core-adminbar.php weve got this function about login.
__________________________________________________________________
function bp_adminbar_login_menu() {
global $bp;
if ( is_user_logged_in() )
return false;
echo '<li class="bp-login no-arrow"><a>root_domain . '/wp-login.php?redirect_to=' . urlencode( $bp->root_domain ) . '">' . __( 'Log In', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';
// Show "Sign Up" link if user registrations are allowed
if ( bp_get_signup_allowed() ) {
echo '<li class="bp-signup no-arrow"><a href="' . bp_get_signup_page(false) . '">' . __( 'Sign Up', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';
}
}

what I did was writing between the php wrappers jfb_output_facebook_btn(); after the first echo and delete the other stuff but doesnt seem to work. Does anybody know how could I do it?
Thanks!

zip file bottom of page. Not a great idea downgrading though!
I have important plugins that are only compatiable with Buddypress v. 1.2.3 & I’ve recently upgraded to 1.2.5.2
Where can I find the older version of Buddypress?
I looked on the site but they only seem to let you download the newest version
@mercime Perfect thank you
@hnla – installed the branch the other day and pagination still doesn’t work on the activity stream. Decided to look at the way I had it done in the child theme but am not done.
You mean ‘Roadmaps’? Last discussion we had seemed to think they were not that important.
https://trac.buddypress.org/roadmap
Or:
https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/
You can create a ticket under the 1.3 milestone as an enhancement.
Yes I ran only the Buddypress plugin & the BuddyPress Default 1.2.5.2 by BuddyPress.org theme
Any ideas on what we could look at in the default theme/plugin?
If its posting to MY wall, why wouldnt it post to the Activity Stream then when I’m actually replyin ON the Activity Stream page?
@boonebgorges Can you point me to the dev plan for buddypress – where it is planning on going for the next few versions kind of thing, I remember seeing that around at some point.
Gratitude Boone! (Or for that matter anyone else who can answer my questions..
@questus5
Look at your bp admin section, you will see the custom profile link you use that to create new groups and fields, as long as a new group is created under the ‘Base’ level then it will appear on the registration page.
@dorothysulzmann
As a workaround I would move the three type selections labeled ‘Fan off’? to just after the primary details and use the tree types as just that to confer a user type to each member but also run a simple jQuery show/hide on the further groups so all are hidden and then a check is performed to catch the radio selection and the appropriate group revealed with perhaps a ‘none’ control selection default.
The proper approach would be to complete a section and then pass the form control fields in a session or buffer to the next view to complete further sections but with BP that will likely start to get complicated, as techguy says there is no quick easy way to do this but with client side scripting it wouldn’t be that difficult.
