BuddyPress.org

Anybody using hostgator or ever heard some problems using WPMU on their shared hosting? I’m interested with their baby hosting package, unlimited space & bandwith. But the inodes limit of 250,000 is worrying me.

ihave just setup skriffle.com

To accomplish that, yu have to change the style sheet from the “buddypress” theme CSS (style.css), of course if you are using it for the home theme.

And remember that when you access to a member option, the theme used is the “buddypress-member” look 4 the style.css on the folder and make the changes too, i did so to have a correspondence between site colors.

I have used Media Temple for WPMU sites in the past and the Grid is better than most shared hosts, but really WPMU itself can grow past resources quickly. That is why VPS or dedicated is recommended, though many still say they are fine on a shared host if their bandwidth and userbase is low. Other great VPS providers include Slicehost.com and Futurehosting.biz

Getting recommendations for hosts is covered extensively in the WPMU forums, so you might want to pop by for a search there.

I am on fused network and they definitely support wildcards. They are a bit pricey, starting at $9.95 a month, but are worth every penny. They truly guarantee 99% uptime.

In the last 6 months they have been flawless with only one month going below 99% uptime and when that did happen they offered a 1 month credit to all customers that were effected. I declined the offer on the grounds that there policy is almost unfair for them! I will gladly pay $10 month just too know that they truly follow their guarantees.

As far as tech support goes, they are the best I have found as well. I have submitted 5 tickets so far and everyone was answered right away. Plus none of those tickets was a problem on their end. It was usually me asking for domain setups up or adding wildcard mask for example.

Highly recommended (and I am not even part of their affiliate network!)

Yup! Me to. Buddypress is brilliant and I am currently using it for my local Scout group! Bang on works perfectly and events would just round that off. For the mean time however i’ll be using groups for events

I am using Site5 and they will set up the wildcards on request.

Anyone use MediaTemple?

I use Bluehost and you’re right, you cannot set up WPMU using subdomains; you must use the subdirectory option. This was fine with me because I was already installing WPMU into a subdirectory and though http://member/wpmu/sitename.com would look funny.

Also, I ran into a few snags while installing onto Bluehost but found some very easy fixes.

I translated it to Simplified Chinese. So if you want to translate it to Traditional Chinese,mayby you should to take some edit about it.

My english is so poor. Hope you can understand what I said.

Dreamcolour, may I know if your translation is into Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese? It is best to identify it as in HK/Taiwan, they both use Traditional Chinese.

Andy knows about it already, but I am playing with it small scale at http://onvertigo.com

Can you log a ticket for this thanks: https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket

It’s a BuddyPress issue – this is hardcoded at the moment, there will be an option to change in Site Admin > BuddyPress soon.

Good call, Andy. All the files within the folders were set at chmod 600, too. Any idea why this happened? I’ve never run into this problem before now. Anyway, I’m pretty sure everything is looking and operating as it should. Would you mind taking a quick look? One last thing. I need to know where to send your cup of coffee as my thanks. PayPal?

Check all your plugin files too. For example:

http://spirituallymodified.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-core/css/directory-members.css

http://spirituallymodified.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-core/css/admin-bar.css

are still returning 404’s. I’d just 644 everything you uploaded.

How is everything looking now? I went through and changed everything to 755, as it was all set to 600. There’s still 1 dead link on an image but I think everything else is as it should be?

I’ve noticed this too – I made some core changes recently that have affected some areas of messaging.

Looks like you are close. You need to do the same on the images directories and the javascript dirs too.
