Follow these instructions, you will need to update WPMU too.

You may want to also contact Joe Tan ( http://tantannoodles.com/ ). He is the one who made the Amazon S3 WordPress plugin I linked to in your other thread on this topic.

He already knows the technology and may be able to more easily adapt and expand his S3 plugin.

ok, not yet good to try..wpmu 2.7.1-beta1

i got a bunch of warning in includes/plugin.php

you could search a newsletter plugin for wpmu it’s the same, i don’t know if exists

I am using aMember with buddypress and muWordpress. They sell the muWordpress plugin that is needed to work with aMember. It works the way it was made, which is for subdirectories. It does not work with subdomains. So, I set it to only create a user account and then go in manually to create the blog. Not the best ideal, but it works.

Problem: [Members], [Groups] or [Blogs] links not working after this update.

Solution: read on ..

I have just spent all day trying to make it work with my custom theme. It finally works the way it should so I just thought I\’d post the solution here in case someone else is having the same problem.

I upgraded by following the instructions step by step including the costume theme updates and everything went smoothly. My custom theme is based on the default BP theme but heavily modified.

As I said everything worked fine except when I clicked on [Members], [Groups] or [Blogs] directories I was getting \”Access Denied – you don\’t have permission blah blah ….\” message.

I found out the updated default Buddypress members theme is missing page.php and there was a new directory \”directories\” added which contains the pages for [members] [groups] and [blogs]

So everyone who\’s having the same problem as I had, just copy the \”directories\” from the latest bp members theme and put it in your theme. Style it to match your theme look and that\’s it.

I hope that helps.

EDIT: Andy, maybe it would be a good idea to mention it in the upgrade instructions above

Well, okay then. You have the same GD library that I’m using.

Have you always had this problem or did it start happening after you updated BuddyPress?

In your theme look for header.php. There you can change the names of the links.

For example:

<?php _e( \’Blog\’, \’buddypress\’ ) ?>

Change it to

<?php _e( \’My Blog\’, \’buddypress\’ ) ?>

Remember to change it in your members theme too.

Note that this will only change the text not the actual link. So it will show [My Blog] but it will still go to yoursite.com/blog

here.

blog only displays posts of the root (admin blog).

blogs is a directory of members’ blogs.

There is similar thread, and I’ve seen the solution. Search for “member slug” or “member url” etc…

does this plugin still work with the latest wpmu 2.7.1 and bp rc 02 as i cant see it in plugins menu

is it meant to now go in plugins/buddypress

??

Hi this was straight forward and fixed a few issues i had with images showing up… I don\’t know if you mentioned it but with your custom theme you also need to update the functions.php within your \”theme\” folder aswell as the function.php within the “bp-theme” folder… well I was getting alot of errors till i did that… very straight forward up grade Thanks

Yeah, I will update the docs in the codex later today to include this wonderful fix from Andy.

Should be simple as this:

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/branches/2.7 ./wpmu

cd wpmu/wp-content/plugins

svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk ./buddypress

svn co [my-plugin-repo-url] [my-plugin-dir]

Then when you want to update WPMU just svn up in /wpmu/ and when you want to update BuddyPress just svn up in /plugins/buddypress/

Chris, that is a question that most likely is on the mind of many people. While I am not with Automattic and don’t speak for them, my experience has been that bbPress will always be designed to integrate with WP as it is developed by many of the same team. I can also say that WPMU is always going to be synced with the same code as WP and will also work with bbPress. Going even further, buddypress is written based off working with WPMU (soon to be WP as well).

While the timing of releases will require attention to what versions work with each other, there will always be a solution that works. You can be sure of that. Once stable releases come out, they will work together. If you are one of the people that always wants to use the development versions going forward, you will find issues. That is the nature of the beast, but all and all, all should be fine!

Personally, I will always be alerting Buddypress users to what works. Most likely, I will also let people know what doesn’t work since I always am testing all of the software packages on a regular basis (both stable and development).

Hope that helps

Hi Burt,

your plugin works excellently… thanks.

On a related note…

if the user attempts to login with an incorrect username / password, they are thrown to the WP login screen.

Is there a straightforward way to keep them on my BuddyPress login screen?

Cheers,

Roger
