That’d be cool.

I swear you keep editing your initial post – Quit it. LMAO

I see what you’re saying. All of your links have an extra directory in them.

members/admin is what you want

member/members/admin is what you’re getting.

Is your buddypress stuff in

wp-content >> plugins >> buddypress

You installed BuddyPress in http://www.example.com/members ?

Here is a great introduction by Trent Adams to the HyperDB plugin.

As far as this issue is concerned:

If there are other blogs/sites created within the WPMU installation (but not BuddyPress) and other BBPress installations as well, is it recommended that everything reside in the same database, or should things like the additional BBPress installations use a separate database?

…

I don’t want to completely kill whatever server this could potentially end up running on, but quick response times and user integration between all platforms is key. The higher-ups estimate that there would be about 1,000 or so users for the duration of the event,

In this scenario, splitting WPMU data between multiple databases on the same database server will not give you much of an advantage. In fact, it could even slow read/write down slightly. But, if this is a temporary site, which it sounds like it might be, then splitting the load between multiple DB servers is probably not realistic.

The biggest issue will be how many web server and DB server cycles are dedicated to your domain and how many to other people’s domains. If you have a small hosting account, then you’ll absolutely need to upgrade to a decent VPS.

Dang! jjj beat me by 45 seconds!

Too slow Camopants!

Tony-

I had this issue as well about a month ago. The solution is simple. You need to create a new account.

Why? Because, like me, you created an account with a space in your account name (username). Also like me, you choose to use your real name. Logically enough, you put a space between your first and last name. You can see that by hovering your cursor over your name. Do you see the “%20”? That is the space.

This is not a BuddyPress issue. This is an issue with the way that WPMU processes new registrations, allowing spaces in usernames. Unfortunately, this can cause issues.

Andy knows more about this issue than I do, but suffice it to say, when creating your new username, do not put a space in it.

Problem is because your username has a space in it and is using capital letters. Where did you originally register your account and how?

If you click on Create a Group, you will see that it’s currently disabled, however groups are essentially harmless and are meant to be ways for users to get together on their own and discuss whatever they want to discuss.

How about extending the fb-connect using Facebook open stream?

Thanks Andy. Works great!

\”it would be similar to the service offerd by wordpress.com\”

But WordPressMU does this by default when a user gets their own blog.

Getting each one to have their own *separate* BP is the issue.

Why not just stick with the one install, have each troop make their own ground and their own blog? This way they have theor own sace, but can still interact with the entire site at large.

Also, remember that like WPMU, BuddyPress functionality can be extended with plugins. There are a number of developers working tirelessly at doing just that.

With regards to the Groups feature, Nicola Greco has created a plugin that helps to extend BP Groups.

haha…stupid me…works now…thanks!

This may help: https://buddypress.org/blog/community/google-custom-search-for-buddypress-wpmu/

I should change this, right now this is not in the groups functionality, but it will be in upcoming versions.

@Djpetemarriott-

As has been mentioned, there is more to installing WPMU than single-user WP.

Since this is not a BuddyPress support topic but an issue you need to bring up with your hosting provider, I’m setting this thread to resolved.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for updating the fb-plugin. Just installed it a couple of minutes ago and this message appeared in the fb popup window:

Invalid Argument

The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL (http://huwai.com.tw/wp-content/plugins/bp-fbconnect/includes/wp-facebookconnect/xd_receiver.php#fname=_opener&%7B%22t%22%3A3%2C%22h%22%3A%22fbCancelLogin%22%2C%22sid%22%3A%220.337%22%7D) must have the application\’s Connect URL (http://login.connect.facebook.com/) as a prefix. You can configure the Connect URL in the Application Settings Editor.

I entered http://login.connect.facebook.com/ into the Connect URL field in the fb interface but this message still appears.

Do I need to translate WPMU first ?

Look in the link that DJPaul provided. There is a WordPress translation of Arabic already. I’m not sure what additional work you’d have to do for WPMU. Most likely translation of some of the admin pages. But, I’m not a localization expert.

What will be different because Arabic is RTL language ?

As long as the themes that Arabic users are using properly reference some type of right to left CSS file, then this should not be an issue. Look at rtl.css to see how that works.

Also, look at this relevant BuddyPress thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=245
