BuddyPress.org

Can you mark this topic as resolved please?

i made a first uprgrade tu the 2.7 branches version and bdpress trunk over 1303

now i am making update to 2.7.1 and buddypress rc2

(i thought it wuold be much more easy than the previous one that worked properly in fact)

two problems :

impossible to make the blog by blog update work properly :

Warning! Problem upgrading http://subdomain.domain/. Your server may not be able to connect to blogs running on it.

Error message: Couldn’t resolve host ‘subdomain.domain’

(which a wpmu error)

what does that mean ?

and when installing rc2 new as a plugin

in fact the buddypress bar is at the end of the template as a menu list not an admin bar

this might be linked with the fact i do not manage this *$** blog update

Thanks Jeff

Great news Jeff!

One thing I noticed on line 233 in bp-example.php is that there appears to be a syntax error:

bp_core_add_nav_item( __( ‘Example’, ‘bp-example’ ), /* The display name */ $bp->example->slug // The slug );

With the “// The slug );” comment, the closing parenthesis and semicolon will also get commented out.

To fix it, it should read something like:

bp_core_add_nav_item( __( ‘Example’, ‘bp-example’ ), /* The display name */ $bp->example->slug /* The slug */ );

Once again, great job and thanks for all your hard work!

Erichamby, see if this helps:

how do we use your plugin for the new buddypress things that are now in plugins/buddypress/ not mu-plugins ??

because i notice that the bp-core.php that it calls is no longer in mu plugins and that is giving me a php error.. ???

If you can please let me know.. i would love to use it??

i suggest linux vps or linux dedicated server not hostings, Debian if possible,

if configured as it has to be, it’s the best way,

all housing companies are good (assuming that the hardware is good) to run bp

@Erichamby-

I hope that TMD works well for you!

Incidentally, I noticed that their BuddyPress tutorial is out of date. They have not been keeping up with the changes in theme directories. Also, they state that:

As an addon to the official WordPress MU, BuddyPress is fully compatible with all the plugins and themes of WordPress and does not limit its functionality in any way

This is not true. There are several incorrect statements there. For instance, there are a number of steps that must be taken if you are using a custom WordPress theme with BuddyPress. I hope they’re good at tech support!

Well i was using 1and1 and wanted to see what i could find that was best for BP. So what i did was sign up for a (mt) GS account and a TMD basic reseller account. After about 2 weeks of playing with them both i closed the (mt) account. TMD really offers more for the price and they will install buddypress for you just by requesting it. Usually withen 15 min.

Dont get me wrong they do have a few problems. Thats to be expected with a fairly new hosting company. For $29 a month i get a reseller account with great options. They use cPanel which i prefer Plesk but cPanel is ok.

(mt) is a great company with a great name. However i got the feeling the time i was with them they are more of a hype company has you seem to pay for the name and no the options. Their admin panel is a work of art though.

yeah, it’s bug https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/691 if anyone has anything to contribute

This could mean several things. You have an existing WP site and want to get those users into WPMU.

Or you have an existing WPMU site, but when you go the ‘members’ list pages on BuddyPress, most of them don’t appear.

I can’t help you with the first one as I don’t know and that question is more appropiate to the WPMU forums (not BuddyPress’). If it’s the second, the users won’t show up until they’ve logged in and done something. There was a script or so around the forums to get this done automatically, but I don’t know where I saw it. Hopefully someone will post.

So the problem is in your custom theme then? It’s a tricky nuggest but read through https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2298.

That is not a BuddyPress problem. I suggest you search WordPress’ forums.

@Dbascent94: I’ve got the same problem, no preview is given just “activate”.

Although the themes -are- activated, because I see the standard buddypress theme is activated.

If I could only get rid of all those 404 errors on the normal buddypress functions ..

This thing is not buddypress, so it should be posted on wpmu forum. n/w, I see everything properly on 2.7.1 and rc2.

Control themes here: ursite/wp-admin/wpmu-themes.php

bp-themes/buddypress-member/css/directories.css Look for #letter-list

I was running WordPress MU 2.7 before and have been manually upgrading ..

bp-themes contains the original buddypress RC2 theme.
