BuddyPress.org

Hello,

Unfortunately, most hosting companies do not support wildcards due to some configuration settings that should be applied both in the DNS and Apache virtual host. Still, in a properly configured hosting enviropment this can be easily achieved and these requirements can be met without any additional charges.

You may review the following hosting provider which fully support wildcards and has a BuddyPress and WordPress MU hosting packages:

http://www.tmdhosting.com/buddypress-hosting.html

You may also check the following blog on the test platform of BuddyPress at:

http://tmdhosting.testbp.org/

A step by step tutorial on how to install BuddyPress on your hosting is available on:

http://www.tmdhosting.com/tutorials/buddypress/buddypress-tutorial.html

I hope this information will be useful due to the fact that it is not an advertisement — you are free to choose the best hosting provider for your needs. Good luck .

I came here because I want such a theme but a stable core, or a one click mu/bbpress/bp install is my first choice. Go for it!

@Michael-

… I just updated to the latest trunk. Before I had 1303 installed…

What version of BuddyPress are you currently running? If it is 1303, that is not the latest trunk version. Try updating to the most recent trunk.

Also, did you add the one additional define line to WPMU’s wp-config.php file? If not, compare the 2.7.1 config file to your old one. This line is new:

define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

Since you can see the admin screen when you remove BP, that should not be the issue. But I’m just trying to be thorough.

@Nicola-

I believe Hally was asking for the location of the wp-signup.php file.

@Hally-

Is that true? Or, are you asking where is wp-signup.php referenced within BuddyPress?

I m using akismet plugin without problem..

Hi Gordon

Good to see you’ve now got it to work.

I’m having the same problems you had – to the letter – with getting forums to work. Am using shared hosting in the UK. Forums are not being created on the bbpress side and I’m getting the “There was an error posting that topic.” message on Buddypress.

Has anyone got the link to the xml-rpc testing files?

Thanks!

That’s a fairly standard WP message. I always ignore it and never have any problems.

I’am currently working on a matching bbPress theme for BuddyPress … But, it only fit my (tweaked) theme for BuddyPress

The forum is up and running, but the theme is still in development

The color scheme i use can be seen over here:

I’m already using Amazon S3 for uploaded images on buddypress site http://restaurace.net

Hi, I’d like to know if the idea modemlooper raise to have “blog” as one option in the group side bar has materialized? The community blog plugin is great, and it would be nice to see that fully integrated with the group concept in Buddypress.

Ehy Jeff look here wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/register.php

if you’ve a customized theme copy register.php and activation.php from /themes/buddypress-home to your theme

put bp plugins in /plugins/buddypress

Check your error logs. This kind of problem leaves a trace. The problem is probably a php fatal error of some sort. That will lead you to the solution.

The bbPress template is PAINFUL to modify. Doesn’t work the same was as WordPresss.

I’ve found though that the blank theme available from

http://www.refueled.net/blank-themes/

make creating a matching theme so much easier.

Check them out.

Upgrade to the latest svn mu 2.7.1 branch: http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/branches/2.7

There was a bug in mu that tried to load plugins that don’t exist. Since you don’t have the individual bp plugins anymore, they don’t exist. That might be the problem. This was fixed in rev 1720.

This isn’t possible with the level of integration that buddypress has with the forum component, bbpress. Maybe in future.

I had the same problem after updating BP. Everything works fine now.

Actually, those instructions apply even if you have customized just the home theme or the member theme. Even though it does not explicitly say so, if you have customized your home theme, you should copy over the new functions.php file from the buddypress-home theme folder in RC2.

There are also some changes to the code in the header.php file that you may want to make in your custom header.php file. In fact, for good measure, you should copy over any of the files from the new theme directory that you have not hacked in your custom theme.

Finally, just in case, have you read this thread?
