Jotem = Genius!
That worked, thanks! I hate core hacks, but looks like it wasn’t going to work any other way.
Evvscuba-
We have no idea what setup you’re running? Which version of WPMU, of BuddyPress? How did you install them? Did you upgrade WPMU? If so, from which version and how?
Also, please first visit and read the link I provided in the second post. If the suggestions there do not solve your problem, then answer my additional questions in the fourth post.
Okay, I’ve reread this thread for the second time. You state that:
The problem must be with the data; since a fresh install works perfectly and after the data gets imported, I get the nasty 404 bug.
Andy’s answer is:
This is normal with WPMU, you are not going to be able to transfer over blog tables as there are all sorts of URL settings in the DB.
I have a few questions based on this interchange:
- Which version of MySQL are you (is your host) running?
- Have you tried repairing the DB tables before reimport?
- Are you moving your data between different domains?
Since WPMU 2.7.1 + BuddyPress 1.0 + standard themes work fine with a new, empty MySQL DB, the issue is, as you state, with the data. Either you have data corruption, indices that need reindexing, or hardcoded links within the tables that are causing the 404s.
If the domain mapping is not identical to the hardcoded links in your WPMU tables, you will have issues.
So, here’s what I’d suggest:
- Backup your data again
- Then, repair/reindex
- Then, if your domain mapping is not identical, follow these instructions keeping in mind that these articles are for WP and not WPMU. You’ll have to adjust accordingly:
Ilya,
I’m working on a project where i must integrate WPMU, buddypress and bbpress all together.
http://terafriu.com/forum/ is the forum page. I have modified the kakumei theme that came with bbpress. Changing the header and footer will go a long way. But it ultimatly depends on what you are trying to acheive. For the time being you’ll either have to create/modify your own.
Keep in mind that Buddypress is a fairly new application and we should be gratefull to get such an application for free! When the important stuff like bug fixes etc are resolved we will see tons of themes, just like WordPress.
here’s something i have lying around. i’m not sure where i got it. not very good at records:
<?php
function add_about_to_main_menu() {
$class = (bp_is_page(‘about’)) ? ‘ class=”selected” ‘ : ”;
echo ‘<li ‘ . $class. ‘>‘ . __( ‘About’, ‘buddypress’ ) .’‘;
}
add_action(‘bp_nav_items’,’add_about_to_main_menu’);
?>
end here.
create this as something like aboutmenu.php then edit the link (href part). this way you wont have to muck around the theme files.
hope that helped!
You’ll have to edit the css-file in your member-theme.
In the css/base.css file you’ll find something like this:
li a#user-settings, li a#my-settings {
background: url(../images/settings_bullet.gif) 88% 52% no-repeat;
}
Just copy that and change the “a#user-settings” to whatever fits your component, like “a#the-navigation-slug”. Don’t forget to put your image in the according folder and changing the name in the code to that name.
This is a wpmu/bbpress integration issue not a bp issue as far as I can tell. Since this is not a bp support issue, marking the thread as such.
you are close, I want this:
domain.com (static page)
domain.com/blog (list all my blog posts, index.php)
domain.com/home (buddypress home page, home.php)
i have everything working, except the /blog link.
with that being said, what code do I need in my index.php in order to pull the “normal home page” blogs posts? right now it looks at the WP radio button and just pulls the “static” page, which ends up being a link back to domain.com. i want domain.com/blog to list all my posts. i tried the normal: <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>, but I assume that looks at the WP static flag that I set, which will no longer pull the posts. how do I get around this?
Ya BBPress makes u mess with cookies and I didn’t like it. I have a hard time to make it work, but removing BBPress, the BuddyPress is still working fine. BBPress is only a module, and so it shouldn’t affect the whole BuddyPress.
anyone know a solution to this?
If you don’t want to believe me, that’s okay, but that doesn’t make me any less right.

bbPress .9 may integrate with BuddyPress 1.0, but it isn’t the recommended version and it will be more difficult to make them work nicely together.
I can always login as the user and edit the profile, or pretend to be the user and sign up the old-fashioned way. Anyway, the problem is solved, even if it is a bit of a workaround to get there.
Future improvement to BuddyPress would be to have this profile-editing feature available to the all-powerful admin!
Thanks!
Right now only individuals can edit their own profiles. Admin’s cannot edit others’ information through BuddyPress.
@Jeff Sayre: Whenever I start migrating normal production data from the existing RC1 blog to v1.0…
I am unable to migrate existing data towards the v1.0 standard and I’m seemingly not the only one with those problems. I’m very sure it is database related ; errors or I don’t know why … It’s currently blocking my further buddypress development since it just doesn’t work…
As soon as I import the database the members, groups and other slugs towards Buddypress social functions stop working. Please read the previous messages I’ve written for a detailed outline about which I did with the database…
Kitwit, I think you’re a little confused… It’s working exactly like it should.
The directory pages are the pages that show the A-Z options on the top. The profiles are just profiles. They reside in members/username, but viewing a profile isn’t the same as viewing a directory of many users.
When you turn on Extended Profiles, it will totally ignore any of the admin area WordPress profile fields, and wait for you to create your own profile groups and fields. Extended Profile information can then be edited through BuddyPress on the front end of your profile area, exactly like you can do here.
When you turn off Extended Profiles, BuddyPress will fall back on the WordPressMU user information found in the admin area (if you have the BuddyPress setting turned on for it to do so.)
Dantes, if you view the forum via the groups page, then yes it will show up integrated into the BuddyPress group area. Otherwise, bbPress is its own application with its own plugins and theme files. You would need to create a theme to mimic the style of the rest of your website.
Actually, I haven’t figured it out. If I want to add fields to the profile so that the person’s information (Address, City, State, ZIP, etc) isn’t displayed as a jumble of sentences, then how can I add those fields if I disable the extended profile option? Why would BuddyPress actually carry a feature that is attractive and then for any usable information to display, one would have to deactivate it? Am I missing something here?
So tell me … how do I add custom fields to the profile AND have them display on each member’s visible public profile?
Oops! I just figured it out. Thanks! (Although it’s kind of counter-intuitive, isn’t it? Shouldn’t the full profile show in BuddyPress rather than the other way around?)
SOLVED:
actually this helped :

so..
there are 2 ways to delete users in the WP-AMIN :
one is for the hole BP and one is for the particular blog…
you should go in wp-admin > admin > users
not like me – wp-admin > users > authors & users

Im still working on it but I thought it looked ready to share with everyone
Im having some problems with internet explorer not displaying some of my new menu navigation items links…
Thanks for all of your help BuddyPress!!!!!
bp-xprofile is the one. But I’ve never seen such a case that it doesn’t show up on the options page. Maybe you need to reinstall buddypress.
Since you are using the wpmu’s default profile system not the buddypress one, you need to disable extended profiles from buddypress component setup options.
The Forums link appears regardless of the forum physically existing or not. Once the BuddyPress forums plugin is turned on, it turns on all of the links also.
Regarding the steps you’ve taken, they’re all correct, so don’t second guess yourself there.
My guess is this is a PHP Memory error. Your host probably has you defaulted to 8MB, and you’re going to need much more than that allocated to run WPMU and XMLRPC.
In your .htaccess files (both WPMU and bbPress) put
php_value memory_limit 32M
You can also alternatively make a php.ini file, put that in your root directory, and inside it put
memory_limit = 32M
If it still doesn’t work, report back.
