BuddyPress.org

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!

This should just be under

Site Admin->BuddyPress->Full Name field name

In my .htaccess file, I had to force 1and1 to provide php5:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

To get rid of 500 errors and out of memory errors, in my /wp-admin/ I put this in php.ini (create it if it doesn’t exist):

memory=40MB

upload_max_filesize=10M;

post_max_size=20M;

I’m not sure what you did exactly to make this so broken, but I can tell you how I did what you’re trying to do.

1. Copy “buddypress-home” theme to a temporary folder.
2. Rename “buddypress-home” to “buddypress-user”.
3. Delete “buddypress-user/home.php”.
4. Open “buddypress-user/style.css” and at the very least, rename the theme to include something with the words “User Theme”
5. Upload this theme, and activate ONLY it in your admin panel.
6. Make sure that theme is the ONLY active theme. This ensures users will only get that theme provided to them at default.

That should do it.

Hmm i couldnt get buddypress to work at all on 1and1. Im not saying it dont, just wondering how you got it to work.

If you don’t mind using sub-directories for WPMU, I’ve had pretty good luck using 1and1 so far. Had to hack .htaccess and force some extra memory in my php.ini file, but so far so good.

For the record, I would put Andy’s code in bp-custom.php, located in the root of your BuddyPress install.

Which version of BuddyPress are you using?
