BuddyPress.org

Hy everyone!

I have latest trunks of wordpress mu, buddypress, bp-dev and signup-password plugin from premium.wpmudev.org.

The plugin doesn’t work. I have the password fields on my registration page but it still generates a random password on activation.

How can i make it work?

I would LOVE to start getting some feedback on the site I am currently creating (still in beta) called Modelrific™. It is a modeling and photography community.

username: test

password: test

(You’ll need these just to see the page, as I have it server-side protected)

You can log in to the actual site using:

username: testuser2

password: testuser2

Please let me know what you think!

In wp-login.php, I have found the following line of code (around line 470) ….

I want to redirect the user to their profile page, so I changed it to …

I would highly recommend that you stay away from hacking core WPMU files. You’ll have to make the changes all over again the next time you update WPMU.

This is the way you should do it: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1095

How can I change the wp-login page to include my site\’s logo instead of the WordPress logo? Is this possible?

By the way, you may receive faster responses in the future if you ask WPMU questions on the WPMU forums and ask BuddyPress-specific questions on this forum.

Well, I assume you do your WPMU updates by deleting everything from the WPMU folder–with the possible exception of certain files / folders in wp-content? If so, then just delete again and start over.

Also, read this thread ( https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2065 ). Although not everything applies, there are important upgrade tips and instructions. Make sure you read / browse the entire thread.

no i havent installed wpmu 2.7.1

You must be running the latest branch of WPMU to use the trunk of BP 1.0_RC2.

Did you read this thread? https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1994

Which version of BuddyPress are you using?

Just to add my 2 cents,

I’m using Eclipse as my IDE, and have had great luck with phpeclipse and subclipse. Because eclipse is java based it is cross platform, for the ide and plugins. I have used this setup on both a Ubuntu system and my Current Mac.

I have 3 projects currently “checkout out” the Buddypress trunk, the WPMU trunk, and my private svn for personal development. This allows me to look at source code for everything. I only have submission permissions on my private svn, which is probably good.

On my server I can also use the command line and checkout the files and copy them into the required directories.

Hopefully this inspires someone,

as far as version of PHP, do you mean myadmin client or actual code

What version of PHP is your domain on your VPS running? Is this different than the version you’re using in MAMP?

More steps to try:

1. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed? If so, disable all of them and see if you still get the problem. If you do not, if it works, then activate the other plugins one at a time, each time trying the avatar change or upload until you get the problem.
2. If that does not work, try reinstalling from scratch. This means deleting all the files from your domain and deleting the MySQL database you’re attaching to. Create a brand new database and then upload WPMU and BP per install protocol. See what happens.

You are going to encounter lots of errors if bp isn\\\’t installed properly and you are not running the proper wpmu version. First thing is get the svn 2.7 branch of wpmu. This depends on the operating system you are developing on.

Start with this: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2145#post-11567 and this https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1285

If you are on windows this is the client I use: http://tortoisesvn.net/

Other than not running the right version of wpmu, bp does not seem to be installed right. You shouldn\\\’t have to upload the php file I mentioned to get things working right. If you are running the trunk version of bp you need to get the latest wpmu the same way you did the bp trunk. Just a different url.

Neither bp nor wpmu seem to be installed correctly.

@Gpo1

I’m using http://tantannoodles.com/toolkit/wordpress-s3/

I’ve also installed this plugin on the latest versions of WPMU + BuddyPress, and i dont have any problems at all

Upgrade to the latest trunk, or wait until RC2 comes out, and you will get the nice titles.

Make sure that bp is installed in a directory called /plugins/buddypress

Make sure that you are using the wpmu svn 2.7 branch http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/branches/2.7 not the wpmu trunk.

For some reason bp is not loading correctly. bp should be installed in the above directory and there should be other subdirs underneath that with all the components. Do you have this file in this path? /plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-templatetags.php

That is one of the files that is not loading.

I can not change or create avatars

I assume you mean that you cannot create avatars at all. If that is the case, then you cannot even get the chance to change your avatar. Is this correct?

The error you mentioned in your OP is found in only two places in BP:

• bp_core_avatar.php –> in the function bp_core_avatar_admin
• bp_xprofile_signup.php –> in the function xprofile_validate_signup_fields

So, either you do not have sufficient permissions in the folder where the avatar is first uploaded, or you’re uploading an avatar that is too big. I will guess that it is the first problem based on the error message.

But, let’s be thorough.

You mentioned that you’re running a very recent BP trunk version and WPMU 2.7.1_beta from branch. We’ll assume that everything is correct with your upgrade and that you’ve also read the thread Lance mentioned and tried any applicable suggestions.

Here, then, are some additional or follow-up questions:

1. What is the size of the avatar you’re trying to upload?
2. What is the avatar’s format?
3. Are you using the standard buddypress-member theme or a customized theme?
4. What version of GD is installed?
5. What version of PHP are you using?
6. Have you checked all the folders in blog.dir and made sure that there are indeed no files?
7. Have you checked the permissions of each of the subfolders in blog.dir?

@John James Jacoby

Thanks John, I’ll wait for the tutorial!

Note – because of a limitation of my hosting provider (for whom I am a reseller) – they don’t allow xml-rpc calls to the same server, I have had to put bbPress on a different server from WordPress & BuddyPress, so if you want a tester to go through the tutorial I am happy to do so.

(I have a few spare domain names kicking around that I can use for this!)

Yeah, copy over the register.php from the buddypress-home theme folder.

Vito687 – have you search a bit here on the forums for a possible solution? This seems to be a common problem and there are a lot of threads with helpful hints, like https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1960.

Some things to check:

• GD library support on your server
• .htaccess file is in place and doesn’t have lines commented out
• Errors in your server logs
• file permissions

I know you’ve tried looking at the last two already, but it’s still good to try everything again, especially if you’ve changed a few settings but didn’t check the other items afterwards.

There is a TRAC issue for that here https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/192

By backend menus for WP, do you mean you want to totally remove access to the wp-admin area?

This has been a common request by others as well, especially if you have blogs turned off and are trying to hide it completely for subscribers.

If you’re saying that each member still has a blog, but you want them to be able to create new blog posts and manage their blogs through the buddypress interface, that still is not a possibility, and would require an additional plugin (in my opinion) that does not yet (and may never) exist with BP…

It is possible to setup default widgets for blogs, it’s a little tricky though. Also, in order to setup a default member blog, I’ve found the best way to do that is to only give them one option and only have one theme turned on the Site-Admin->Themes area. There may be a way to force a default theme, but I’ve never attempted it yet.
