TMDHosting account, I got an account and planning on using them for BP with refer to they blog.

They provide good support for me on my problems.

Roger that fn I wrote was 3 months old. Things have changed in bp. All you need to do is add a filter to change the logo now.

Sorry for the late reponse. Your post got ‘spammed’ by akismet because of number of links in the post. The plugins in /mu-plugins don’t need a plugin header like that. Your code will translate better in the forums with backticks before and after.

Well, only the site admin(s) can activate or deactivate the BuddyPress plugin. So, members should not be able to selectively enable or disable individual components.

Register.php is a BuddyPress file whereas wp-signup.php is a WPMU file. If you use register.php, then wp-signup is automatically not used. In other words, you use one or the other. To choose to use wp-signup.php, you would need to delete register.php from your theme.

Many people have issues customize wp-signup.php. Therefore, I’d recommend using register.php and customize that file instead.

Well, I’ll chime in here. I prefer Slicehost.

It’s not for everyone. In fact, it’s not for most people. It is for us techie guys that want to control absolutely everything. It’s a company built by software developers for software developers.

When you purchase a slice, you have to install (yourself) the server OS, the web server, database servers, mail client, web packages, your custom files, etcetera. You are in total control of the environment. You basically build your own production box from scratch–although you actually are in control of a virtual machine on one of their servers unless you buy all the slices on a give physical box.

Blah, blah, blahbity, blah…

If any of this scares you, then Slicehost is not for you.

I have successfully intalled WPMu and BuddPress using subdomains. My host is a local one here in Central Virginia and they have been very kind and helpful.

Burt-

Well, that was one of my thoughts–and why I’m asking Grandslambert to clarify what he meant by

Using WPMU 2.7 and the latest TRUNK of bbPress

I assume he meant BuddyPress. If so, is he running WPMU 2.7 but with BP 1.0_RC2? Did he install the BP folder in the proper spot? You’ve seen my questions above.

But, I’m tired and JJJ had an intriguing idea as well. So, perhaps I should get some sleep tonight and all the problems of the universe will disappear overnight!

Failed opening required ‘BP_PLUGIN_DIR/…

Not using latest trunk because BP_PLUGIN_DIR is not defined or just installed in some fashion that bp-core.php isn’t running on all blogs which means the latest 2.7.1 wpmu isn’t running and the bp plugins aren’t sitewide.

maybe so?

@JJJ-

Hum, I guess that could help…

Grandslambert,

In your buddypress-user/functions.php, take out ALL of the code besides what you need to make your sidebar(s) for your widgets.

Forgot to mention that little part.

That sounds like an ajax issue to me, not related to 1and1 hosting.

Some initial questions:

1. Which versions of WPMU and BuddyPress are you running?
2. Have you enabled all of BuddyPress’ components?
3. Where did you install the suite of BuddyPress components?
4. Are you using custom themes of the standard themes that came with BuddyPress?

WPMU 2.7 and the latest TRUNK of bbPress

I assume you mean BuddyPress, and not bbPress. If so, then here are a few questions:

1. What do you mean by “latest TRUNK”? Did you actually download the BP trunk from trac as a zip or use SVN? Or, did you obtain BuddyPress from the big, orange Download button that can be found on the top of any BP page?
2. What version of BuddyPress are you using?
3. Where exactly did you place the BuddyPress folder?
4. You are using WPMU 2.7 and not WPMU 2.7.1-beta1 or -beta2, correct?

Jedbarish-

I’m not exactly sure what the issue is here. Perhaps this will help.

Since r1303 and WPMU 2.7.1-beta1, BuddyPress has been considered a single plugin that has multiple components. Once WPMU is upgraded, you install BuddyPress.

Then, you log in as site admin in WPMU backend and go to” Plugins > Installed” and activated BuddyPress. Once it’s activated, a new menu group is created at the bottom of the menu tree called “BuddyPress”.

You click on “BuddyPress > Component Setup” and you should see that all the BP components are enabled by default. It is in this admin screen where you can enable and disable individual components.

Does this answer you question?

So I’ve figured out that its my hosting company that’s having a problem with BuddyPress. I’m currently looking for another hosting company and will add my url when I’ve sorted it out.

Still excited, and not as frustrated as before

Sounds great.

I’m still playing around, and looking for the most appropriate hosting company to sign up with to host my WPmu and Buddypress sites, but if a BuddyPress for WordPress is out, that will solve much of my curreny problems with hosting companies

My problem was some of the fetures. like when you click on a letter to do a search… say we click the “v” to search with users that start with a v it would just sit there with the loading image and never load. it does with with all the ajax fetures it seems.

Haha no you’re not, you’re learning.

Plus you have Hugh Laurie in your profile picture, so you can’t be THAT stupid.

I understand what you want to do, but there isn’t an easy way to do this. Members can name their blogs whatever they want, plus you can create blogs for whatever reason you want. BuddyPress is the only the exoskeleton of your site. WPMU is responsible for building the URL’s for your member blogs. The closest possible solution to what you want to do that I can think of, would be to insert “memberblogs/” before the content of each new blogs “site-url” in the wp_*_options table, but to be honest I’m not sure if it works that way.

Hard to say, but I’ve had bad luck making BuddyPress work on php4 since I started using it.

By “bad,” I guess I mean “no.” Haha!
