UPDATE: I’ve uninstalled all the BuddyPress plugins and the problem persists. Must not have to do with BuddyPress. Is just more obvious with BuddyPress. Hmmm…. Any ideas, I’d love to hear them.

mydomain.com/members/admin/profile/change-avatar page source showed that my avatar image looked something like “http://mydomain.com/GD Image Library not loaded”.
The solution was to get the GD Image Library turned on.
1) open php.ini in wordpad and uncomment the line
extension=php_gd2.dll
2) copy the php_gd2.dll from the C:php5extras folder and place with the php.ini file
3) in IIS open Application Pools and right click on DefaultAppPool and select Recycle ( you don’t have to restart IIS)
Then I used the Change Avatar page and finally after weeks of tooling around my avatars are loading. Yahoo!!
hi oldskoo,
you get wrong by retrieving the (get locale() because at the next update of your bp-core.php file, this will be back again.
And what do you think what are the language settings on site and blogs for ?
wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-languages/buddypress-' . get_locale(). '.mo'
this line means /path/to/your/locale language settings and call the translation file buddypres-en.mo (note the hyphen)
get_locale() comes sometimes along with get_domain(), who entend something like en_US.mo or de_DE…
You will find some functions using locale() and domain() in wp-includesl10n.php
wich is one of the language setting file.
Ok i found a few sites that made a bit more sense and i pieced all the bits together.
I downloaded the POT file fomr the bp SVN.
Downloaded a program called POEDIT
Created a new catalog from the PO file
Made my translations
Save the file which created an MO file
Eventually figured out i needed to upload my MO file to the bp-languages DIR in the mu-plugins DIR of WP
Then i opened up bp-core.php and found the line
(`)
if ( file_exists( ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-languages/buddypress-‘ . get_locale(). ‘.mo’ ) )
load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-languages/buddypress-‘ . get_locale() . ‘.mo’ );
(`)
I couldn’t find out anything on get_locale() function that mean’t anything to me so i just removed get_locale() and replaced it with my .mo filename.
Thanks Trent. I’m all updated to the Bleeding edge on everything.
My BuddyPress is working just fine so far.
Thanks for the response. I love the extended WP community. Nice to have brilliant friends everywhere.
Stay Human
Nicola, I hope you can accept some constructive criticism.
You have made tremendous contributions to BuddyPress. However, I think it’s ironic that you ask people what they want as the next plug-in, then you reject suggestions that don’t match your open-source philosophy. In this thread, more than one person asked for Facebook Connect, and other people asked for other Facebook-style features. I didn’t count all the requests, but I would say that Facebook functionality or integration is the thing that was requested most.
But you have an objection to Facebook because it’s a commercial operation and you prefer open-source. However, many of us need our sites to be commercially successful, so FB integration can be very helpful to us whether we like it or now.
So please don’t ask for requests and then reject the most popular request because you don’t like it.
@12thharmonic that would work *if and only if* that install is running WPMU 2.7 and bbPress 1.0 alpha 4+ since the forum integration in buddypress needs bbPress 1.0 alpha series and that can only be integrated with WPMU 2.7 (unreleased). Don’t know of anyone that got this working with WPMU 2.6.5, but if they did, I would be interested in finding out.

I’ve been working on https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/290
No luck so far. I thought I found the offending location, but I’m not sure now. Can you verify?
wp-content/themes/buddpress-home/css/base.css
wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/activity/activity-list.php
Yes, to all of the above. Blog creation works. All user-side BuddyPress features redirect to the signup page. i.e. click on ‘news’ and you get sent to:
http://example.com/wpmu/wp-signup.php?new=wpmunews
Everything under ‘My Account’ and ‘Notifications’ is similarly affected.
From the Admin Dashboard, things work as expected.
Well, I’m glad someone else has seen this. I don’t see this though:
the member-theme selection in the buddy press options(sitewide admin) shows themes from my themese directory(the buddypresshome and other standard wpmu themes) instead of showing the buddypress-members theme.
It’s got to be something in the theme though because I’m running another install using trunk for everything except the themes and it’s running fine.
o and i think i have found the cause of the problem.. the member-theme selection in the buddy press options(sitewide admin) shows themes from my themese directory(the buddypresshome and other standard wpmu themes) instead of showing the buddypress-members theme. iv been checking the code and well i cant really place my finger on it..
function bp_core_get_member_themes() {
add_filter( 'theme_root', 'bp_core_set_member_theme_root' );
$themes = get_themes();
if ( $themes ) {
foreach ( $themes as $name => $values ) {
$member_themes[] = array(
'name' => $name,
'template' => $values
);
}
}
return $member_themes;
}
function bp_core_set_member_theme_root() {
return WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/member-themes';
}
function bp_core_set_member_theme_root_uri() {
return WP_CONTENT_URL . '/member-themes';
}
Everything is fresh from SVN trunk about two hours ago. No plugins, no themes, new DB. I tested WPMU with a new blog and edited a post, then installed the BP plugins and themes. It’s as if WPMU doesn’t recognise it’s there.
For example:
http://example.com/wpmu shows the BuddyPress Home page
http://example.com/wpmu/testblog shows the initial test blog
http://example.com/wpmu/members
http://example.com/wpmu/news
http://example.com/wpmu/groups – WPMU is treating these like normal and when not finding anything at the URL, is re-directing to wp-signup.php
i.e. http://example.com/wpmu/wp-signup.php?new=wpmunews
I’ll take https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/224
Clear forums cache when replying to a post.
Took a quick look and it seems that the cache is serving up a topic and it’s replies. The cache isn’t being updated when a reply is created. It serves up the topic and all it’s replies until it gets stale. Then it goes and gets fresh stuff.
I’ll take a look around at the other caching activity down in there too.
Speaking of caches. We got the same problem here. Post a new reply and you get served up the prev page without your new post. wp-super-cache? It doesn’t happen all the time. Just most of the time. 
Oh ya, I don’t think these bugs you’ve listed are very ‘outstanding’ at all Andy. An really interesting bug would be:
“When I view my profile my washer and dryer quit working”. That would be outstanding!
It’s as if BuddyPress is not installed and WPMU is finding no blog at the URL so redirecting the user to signup. However, BuddyPress is installed and partially working (the options show up in the Site Admin menu).
Once again these things belong in trac https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket Otherwise they just get lost in the noise and mayhem.
Andy loves these kinda posts. He doesn’t always get here to see them before they float off the main page though. The best thing is to put in a trac ticket with your find. It reminds him. https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket
just enqueque your script or waiting my own next plugin on bpdev (buddypressdev.org)
