BuddyPress.org

The theme and the profile back end don’t support this right now but there is a mod you can try.

Change line 11 which reads:

<?php if ( bp_field_has_data()) : ?>

To read:

<?php if ( bp_field_has_data() && bp_field_has_public_data()) : ?>

In /bp-themes/buddypress-member/profile/profile-loop.php

Then you will manually have to use phpmyadmin and go into the table bp_xprofile_fields and change all the profile field records that are parent fields and have \’0\’ in the column \’is_public\’ to \’1\’ for the fields you want to show on the profile and \’0\’ for the fields you don\’t want to show.

Parent fields are the ones that have a \’0\’ in the \’parent_id\’ column.

I am also getting this.

I am hosted with 1and1, WPMU 2.7 and BuddyPress RC1

WPMU was working fine until I uploaded the BP files, then it started.

Trying to isolate it something odd happened when I took bp_groups.php out of the picture, then it began to function a little bit, the profile admin bar was appearing on the site, but any time I attempted to go anywhere on it it would return to the 500 Internal Server Error. I cannot even go to the wp-admin without getting the error. If I remove BP from the mu-plugin directory, it returns to normal again.

All files are chmodded to 755. I tried 777 just to see if it changed anything, which it did not.

So I am stumped at this point, there is clearly something in BP that my hosting does not agree with as WPMU works just fine otherwise.

Any ideas? Other things to look at to isolate the problem? Database weirdness? I will keep working on this

Also try using the object caching support:

Improving Performance

WordPress MU itself is not designed to run on a shared server, so you should really avoid that if you can.

Personally i think it is your shared host; WPMU+BP needs pretty healthy servers to run optimally. I’m quite obsest with speed and testing. The WPMU+BP sites need at leats 512MB ram and CPU resources so any servers with avg load >3 it will just die. I’d say on shared hosting the HDD is being battered and trying to run BP MySQL queries on a shared host for it will run out of memory and start using the already busy HDD to store temp tables and data. Even using Super Cache you are reading and writing from an overworked HDD.

I’m not saying it is your shared host but i think its likely.

But i would still test it. Move your site to one side. Install the latest stable WPMU + BP and see what happens. If its still sluggish on those then its your host.

In my experience you need at least 512Mb free RAM, CPU load averages <3, good HDD health, basic apache (unnecessary modules removed), Super Cache, WP_Cache and e-Accelerator or x-cache if you can compile it into apache.

I tried to get nginx setup as a reserve proxy but had issues, that would be the ultimate.

Take a look at the latest trunk

https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk

They have re-organised the themes into a bp-themes folder. Maybe in the future you could drop any member theme in there and manage it through the admin to select what theme you want to use.

At the moment its just more logical.

Did you have a working install of wpmu before deciding to install Buddypress? If so, how were those blogs and user accounts made – via the usual way? No import from another site or use of some sort of plugin?

I have had problems installing this on WPMU 2.7 … The buddypress files go in mu-plugins/ but the fbconnect go into plugins/ ? I have had lots of problems with this install. I have ripped this all out to start again. Do I install to mu-plugins/ or plugins/ ? Is there a test I can run before I add the fbconnect part to be sure I have it all right before I install this? I have been doing fine up to this point, it seems; just wondering where I’m hanging up. Many thanks for the help.

i have had this before and i belive it is all in one seo, so if you have that installed go to the options and uncheck rewrite titles, as it doesnt play nice with buddypress, hope that helps

Just a quick look at your site. I guess it\’s slower than other bp sites I\’ve seen. Speed depends on a lot of factors. The plugins you are using can slow you down if they do a lot of db queries. The host you use is also a major determining factor as well as the type of hosting. DV is usually faster than shared hosting.

bp takes advantage of the standard wp object cache now. I’ve heard of significant performance improvements. Use the latest trunk to take advantage of this. See below on how to turn it on.

Vida, this is a custom theme just for buddypress.org. It’s not being released at the moment.

Download BuddyPress RC-1 → is not the same with the trunk wersion?

If not how can i upgrade?

Well alrighty then. I just thought it had been overlooked.

Andy can’t update the readme because it would change the readme in the download RC1 package. Something like that. He explained it. I got that out of the explanation Bloom.

Hi Bloom

Could you raise this as a ticket on the bug tracker? https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket/

You can log in with the same user/password as you do for these forums. Thanks.

Hi, Im trying to conect my WPmu + BuddyPress with bbpress.

First I install the forum in a diferent database, then usign the settings I try to conect with wordpress but it show me this:

bbPress database error: [Unknown character set: ‘urf8’]

SET NAMES ‘urf8’

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/thbru/public_html/airmylove.com/forum/bbpress/bb-includes/db-mysql.php:130) in /home/thbru/public_html/airmylove.com/forum/bbpress/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 192

And I don´t have any clue!, some had the same issue ?

Thanx for this forum!

Here’s the current trac version – https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/1287/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip.

The problem is, I have seen various plugins cause incompatibilities and all sorts of weird problems with BuddyPress. If you aren’t willing to remove them to test, are you in a position to replicate the entire site to another domain or locally, to give you a copy to play around with?

It’s possible that the Trunk copy of BuddyPress will fix the problems, but I doubt it.

@Halfpint, try integrate this for buddypress ?

The WordPress theme controls the home page and all blog pages, the BuddyPress theme controls everything else.
