BuddyPress.org

You simply can’t do it, but the old posts should still direct you to their new locations.

Well, I suppose you could change the /blog to / but I’d hate to see what kind of havoc that could cause.

Proceed at your own risk...

Site Admin->Blogs->Edit your main blog



Change "Path" to "/" and "Permalink Structure" to remove "/blog" and see what happens.

My guess is dogs and cats, living together, mass hysteria. :X

Not yet. The reason 1.0 is slightly delayed is so that WPMU can be installed to allow for always-on plugins like BuddyPress to be part of the automatic updater going forward.

For now it’s a manual process, but it won’t always be that way.

Wow that’s neat.

Any demos? I couldn’t find one after 2 seconds so I got lazy and figured I’d ask.

Hi all,

Are these instructions still applicable to the latest SVN version of BP.

I downloaded the latest trunk last night and replaced the mu-plugins with the SVN one. I left the themes as they were as the theme works with RC1 components.

However, after replacing all the components with the latest SVN copies i got a blank screen.

A PHP error probably, i shall turn on logging when i get back and have another look.

Just wondered if there was a new way to upgrade now?

Yes you may.

Yes there can, through a plugin.

The answer has been here waiting for you.

More specifically, here.

WordPress has always allowed for multiple ways to access a specific post, even if your permalink structure is setup in a specific way.

More than one way to get to the same link, and both are valid, and both could lead Google down different paths to the same destination. Granted, this is on a non-MU install, but MU suffers the same fate, only with multiple blogs.

Without having /blog or /news or /something there, now you’re opening up the risk of having overlapping post/page slugs. If you write a blog entry named “members” what would you want to happen? Goto the blog post, or BuddyPress’s members page? Multiple that times 100 individual minds blogging outside of your control, and you see how that can be dangerous.

Trust me when I say that I understand what you’re saying, I do, and I can see how this could be something to consider when making the move to use MU and/or BuddyPress, but Google can recover quickly and so can your 5000 posts if they’re important and relevant.

Also, just for fun, lets goto…

and then…

Looks like both take you where you need to be?

Not quite ready to mark this one green, but it looks like a correctly installed BuddyPress/MU won’t give you this problem…

Your posts should still be at http://mydomain.com/whatever/post. The url http://mydomain.com uses the home.php template in bp. That overrides index.php that is used if home.php doesn’t exist. If home.php exists in the theme directory the only way to run index.php is to trap something like ‘blog’ and then load that index.php template.

This is normal behavior for any wp theme that uses home.php. bp doesn’t change the permalink structure of your blog.

You can not use home.php if you like by deleting it from the theme directory or renaming it to something like home.php.off

That will get you index.php being used.

I don’t think there is a way around this.

Are you sure? try to remove blog to the url and refresh the page

Never had this problem.. I’ve bp in bp-dev.org and i don’t user /blog

Update us

are you sure you’ve uploaded fine buddypress?

@ sgrunt..good attempt keep up the work.

@nicolagreco, Regarding cbook theme,any update on mine or email reply ?

The only thing that’s finished now is some of the blogs. Would like to customize the theme a little and I still need to figure out how to get the forums working

Why have you written to replace the member-themes directory??

You can change the name of facebuddy theme directory

is that under gpl? <– if yes i’ll add styles for the bpdev-autosuggest plugin

By far my number one plugin would be extending the multi-db to work with buddypress adding in replication as stated earlier. I believe Nicola may be working on this already though.

I would love a blog theme that integrates with the buddypress them so that way blogs don’t feel like they are separated entities.

Thanks,

Sebastian

Thanks for the advice

I translated 80% done. I uploaded on the web but some lines does not translate at all.

I triple check, make sure I translated that line.

What could be a problem?

Thanks for your help.
