BuddyPress.org

I am having the exact same problem. This is a brand new install. Here are the steps that I took:

I downloaded the latest version of WPMU (2.6.5)

I copied wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes directories along with the files in the root installation directory to the root directory of my site.

I installed the database with no problems.

I followed the advice of the BP instructions and I created a new blog, created new posts and comments. Everything worked as expected.

I then downloaded the latest BP zip file (r598).

I copied all of the files and directories in the root directory of the zip to the /wp-content/mu-plugins directory.

I copied the buddypress-home directory to /wp-content/themes directory

I copied the member-themes directory to the /wp-content directory.

I went to the Site Admin->Themes page and selected ‘Yes’ for the BuddyPress Home Theme and ‘No’ for all the others.

Note: At this time the theme for the home page was still the default wordpress blog theme.

I then went to the root blogs (located at / according the the manage blogs page) and change the theme for it to BuddyPress Home Theme.

Now I get the 404 errors that are described above. Also, when I go to my member’s page, it says that I have no blogs, to create one. After creating another blog, the member’s page still says that I have no blogs.

I feel pretty confident that I installed WPMU correctly, but I suspect that I didn’t install buddypress to the right location(s).

Please advise.

Yes BP is designed to work on $blog_id = 1 but there is no reason you can’t copy the widgets and create your own.

Perhaps in future versions of BuddyPress, you will be able to set where you want BuddyPress to be hosted along with the ability to set widgets as global or single blog.

(we also would like to let our future users use some of the widgets – but are working on a few other bits and pieces atm – I might create a patch when I free up some time)

I have searched the forums to answer this question with no success – but I hope I am not repeating a topic.

I really like everything about BuddyPress and its users – social networking for social people, I think I speak for everybody when I say ‘ask your question anyway and someone will try and answer’

Great changes will be in future.

Waiting.

yes i think this is the same problem i’m having …. the member’s blogs not the main admin one … the member blogs they can’t use a widget that displays any blog posts on their front page …. the only widget availble is a list and i mean

list of recent posts
what happens to the other widgets that are on the admin’s options like site wide activity or more importantly blog posts?

would like them to at least have a wordpress type latest posts homepage as their homepage on a buddypress/wpmu member blog

I know Prologue works fine on a vanilla install of WPMU 2.6.5 and with 2.7 beta. I haven’t bothered to try it with a buddypress install since the problems before, but if you don’t have site-wide tags plugin, it would make sense it is something it doesn’t like with buddypress. I would just disable them one at a time to find out which one screws it up. The only other thing that is constant might be the admin bar on it, but I can’t see that. Do you have the domain mapping plugin? That might be it as well….just fishing I guess

We’re interested in integrating a forum and defining new css next

Thanks

ps: we’re having issues with cropping of avatars

I had issues with this for multiple reasons. One was a WPMU issue, one was a sitewide tags from Donncha issue and one was a Buddypress issue. The WPMU issue was solved at one point around 2.6.3 release. The buddypress issue was tied to the plugin issue for sitewide tags and it was supposed to make it work, but I haven’t tried it. I know this is a nothing answer, but if it keeps asking you to login all the time, I would find out if disabling bp-blogs.php and/or sitewide tags fixes it to narrow down the issue.

hey…..im running a german site called iBlogle.de

Im also using a bbPress Forum with it…..forum.iBlogle.de

And the Ipod Touch News Blog iTouchable.de is also hosted by BuddyPress with its own bbPress forum…forum.iTouchable.de

And all these Sites are usable with only one Account….although ive a little problem with the cookie sharing between the TLD….so one has to login into both pages!

Hello, I have the same problem as many.

My buddypress installation is as follows:

Installed in http://mysite.org/testbp/

Permalinks: /news/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

When I click on one permalink of the root blog in the recent news section, it brings me to the blog post within the buddypress theme. However when I click on news, I get the header, the sidebar, but where the news should be just : “edit this entry” (without even the leftcol_header_back.gif appearing).

Any ideas?

just testing, playing and having fun. http://www.ajaxexample.com

Petomundo :This site is the best,I like the template while others are ok,but look the same!

I would agree this is very important. Both facebook and meetup have the ability to create events, invite people, rsvp, and send messages to attendees. Lacking this feature would be the only thing holding me up from a full fledged rollout of buddypress.

Create your own theme… or copy and edit the default BuddyPress Theme:

header.php

<div id="my_userbar">

<?php include_once (TEMPLATEPATH . '/userbar.php'); ?>

<!--MY GOOGLE AD STUFF HERE-->

</div>

<?php include_once (TEMPLATEPATH . '/optionsbar.php'); ?>

Then just edit the css to format nicely

Although WordPress / MU use its own WP authentication methods, I would state that LDAP will never be a plugin module for BuddyPress.

BuddyPress is a plugin for Social Networking – asking it to deal with authentication is like wanting your office document application to play mp3’s.

Authentication however – within WordPress / MU is pluggable and if there is a plugin out there that supports LDAP, then give it a go as BuddyPress will only check if you are logged in or out and has nothing to do with authentication.

Ah I figured it out! Textbook case of failure to RTFM. I uploaded member-themes into the themes directory instead of the wp-content directory.

Well, at least I learned a little bit more about how buddypress works through the wonderful invention that is var_dump!

Have you put the buddypress-member theme into /wp-content/member-themes/ ?

The error is because the file is missing, or does not have the correct permissions.

What album plugin for wordpress mu do you recommend for now?
