Anyone think .htaccess is the culprit to my Member themes display problem?
Hi Todd,
I’m in the same boat as you.
Wondering about the same sort of issues…

Ahhh, I found the error…
Some of the things I\’ve done on my installation was done before I translated and uploaded the .mo file.
When you do an activity, let\’s say you write on a group wire. The whole thing including the text wrote on the wire of the group is stored in the DB (in the table wp_bp_activity_sitewide), and thus if you change the language that will not change…
But when you do something new, then the correct language is shown (and stored in the DB).
So changing the language after you\’ve done something in your BuddyPress install is not a good idea

Yes, of course. You can do anything you want. Suggest you read https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1632
I suppose my question is, can a blog be created to look / inherit the CSS within the Theme your BuddyPress is actually using. When I create or get a user to do create a blog they actually get the standard style.
Hope this is clear…it has been a long day!
Arturo, Andy Peatling is the main (only?) developer behind BuddyPress. He should know when he says something like that.
No, wpmu is in english.. I renamed the files to buddypress-el_GR.po and buddypress-el_GR.mo but still no change. The country code and language code are correct, because I found them in wordpress documentation.
I still don’t know what’s wrong, though..
do you have wpmu in greek? save the lang file buddypress-xx_XX.po and the same .mo
xx_XX is language_COUNTRY for example it_IT (italian_ITALY).
bp-groups.php line 1005, right?
'content' => apply_filters( 'bp_groups_created_group_activity', sprintf( __('%s created the group %s', 'buddypress'), $user_link, '<a href="' . $group_link . '">' . $group->name . '</a>') . ' <span class="time-since">%s</span>', $user_link, $group_link, $group->name )
As Arturo’s suggested, check you are working from the .pot file that comes with 1.0. It’s possible it was changed since an older version thus your translation not being applied.
Thank you for quick reply!
I’ll be waiting Hope it will be soon.
No, not yet. Future versions you would be able to, but I’m not aware of any timescale for this yet.

Thanks everyone for the quick replies!
@jeff I looked at the link you sent, but I’m not upgrading so I’m not sure it applies. I just downloaded BuddyPress this morning.
@DJPaul the themes are in wp-content/themes/ and the member theme in wp-content/bp-themes/
@andy the permissions on that file were 644. I changed them all the way to 777 with no change. What should the permissions be?
Justin-
I assume you’re running BuddyPress v1.0. If so, please carefully read the section entitled “Upgrading the Theme files” on this BuddyPress Codex page.
Hi DJPual-
I’m currently using (with success) the reCaptcha plugin on a dev site. I used hints from these two BP forum threads:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=509
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1581
I hope that helps!
Jeff, I can’t afford a VPS. I have to go with this, but the service is much better than is usual. Think of Elgg, it requres so many things including very new MySql and PHP versons and several other stuff. My HS guys took care of it and installed it themselves for me, though it’s not under the “Script Software’.
As for WPMU, first I tried to install myself allowing all permissions for the database concerned. I had a problem, and asked the help of my HS. They installed it for me. I asked them whether they had to do anything special at their end for the installation. They said NO, just make it 0777 for wp-content and it would work. It did.
In fact, they removed several WPMU folders at my request, but at the time I had not realized that all of them were WPMU folders. I was frantically installing, deleting and re-installing all kkind of CMS and SNW softwares. When I realized it, I posted a note at a WPMU forum. The rest you know.
What happens is when I click a folder, inside I see wp-content, and then a blog folder, it goes on like that until a 2 or 2009, and then I get the error message. I go on changing prmissions as I go along, but at last I reach a point where I am not allowed to change the permission setting. Anyway, I am going to ask my HS what’s the problem involved. I will let you know.
Thnaks for your long conerned reply.
You are trying to use BuddyPress with WordPress. BuddyPress needs WordPress MU which you can get from https://mu.wordpress.org/download/. In future versions, BuddyPress will work with regular WordPress but at the moment it doesn’t.
And before you ask ‘how long’, I suspect it will be quite a while before BuddyPress supports WordPress.
Andrea is right.
You can either take the current BP home and member themes and customize them to integrate blogs as you wish, or you can use the BuddyPress Skeleton Template Theme files to build your own blog-centric custom BP themes.

The primary resource for learning about translating WordPress files is here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress
Also, some helpful forum threads:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=171
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1877
Finally, when you’ve completed your translation, it would nice if you would add and link in the codex: https://codex.buddypress.org/translations/
Assuming that you’ve upgraded your site to WPMU 2.7.1 and the newly released BuddyPress v1.0, then carefully read the section entitled “Upgrading the Theme files” in this BuddyPress Codex link.
Is the height parameter a must, or can you leave it like (800, )?
No. You cannot leave the parameter blank. You could pass a variable into the space if you wanted, but it must have something.
When I tried to remove one WPMU folder I got the error message
“500 Can’t Remove Directory. Permission denied”.
A few questions:
- Have you checked the files / folder permission on your WPMU install? You should be able to delete everything that you personally upload to your public_html. Although, with shard hosting, there could be issues with apache owning certain files and folders.
- Are you using an automatic WordPress Mu install option from your hosting company? I’m not sure if any hosting companies offer that option for WPMU, but it’s worth asking.
The answer I got was WPMU does something at the Apache level and that I can’t do much about it unless mine is a dedicated hosting service.
- Have you contacted tech support for your hosting service provider and asked for their help? This WPMU forum post may prove useful in talking with tech support: https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3173&replies=3#post-19388
- Have you considered changing hosting companies or upgrading to a more robust hosting plan? A VPS perhaps?
WPMU really does not do too well on a cheap hosting plan. Here is sage advice from andrea_r, a WPMU guru: http://wpmututorials.com/news/choosing-a-host/
I have a new installation now.
I think the width problem is to be fixed elsewhere.
Please consider these:
As far as figuring out what’s going on with your CSS, this is where the Firebug tool comes in very handy! It takes awhile to learn how to use it. But once you do, you can determine where a given div or class is pulling its instructions from and then temporarily override those selector parameters within Firebug and see how that affects the overall layout. It is a very powerful and useful tool!
Concerning CSS issues with IE6: my personal opinion is to not worry about supporting that browser anymore. It is just a big pain and too much work for too little return–less than 20% usage ( http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp ). Again, that is just my opinion.
Check out http://code.google.com/p/wordpress-geo-mashup/ , think about some donations and let Dylan know that u are also interested in a WPMU/Buddypress version of GeoMashup!
Here he is writing that he managed to get a first basic geoMashup Version working with WPMU/Buddypress:
