oh..damn! Thanx burtasid for the info. But why this “little” indication it is not written in the “installing buddypress” page or in the Faq? I presume a lot of user could be confused about this
@stix1972 No it has nothing to do with apache config in any way. The communications between bbpress and buddypress are xmlrpc. That’s why Andy has us flipping switches in bbpress for xmlrpc and pingbacks. Apache is not involved.
The php curl library is what’s being used to find a link between bbpress and buddypress. This may not affect everyone. Matter of fact the xmlrpc stuff in wp and bbpress has 5 different ways of establishing a connection. It tries the curl method first. If curl is enabled on your site then it uses it.
My problem wasn’t with the curl library. It was working fine doing what it was supposed to do. My problem was that my server, which I’m supposed to know how to config because I’m the sysadmin for it, was not configured to enable php to go out and do low level stuff based on the settings in the /etc/hosts file.
Does that make any sense?
Group forums wasn’t working and I knew I had it configured correctly. Then I went looking for a different reason. I knew the code was ok because it worked for other people just fine. I debugged down to find out the exact error that was causing a problem then tracked it down to the curl lib not being able to resolve the correct ip address.
It was something in my environment other than bp and bbpress. The hosts file was it.
If forums aren’t working for you then this might be the problem. Then again it might not. This setup between bp and bbpress depends on so many factors being right, it’s a miracle it works at all. I’m guessing that’s one reason xmlrpc has 5 different ways of talking. Never know what environment it’s gonna run in.
Howdy people. I solved *my* group forums problem. I’m running on a dedicated virtual server account for mu/bp/bbpress. I found the solution to my problem with group forums. It might have something to do with yours.

buddypress doesn’t create the blogs. wordpress mu does. Install mu with that option and you’ll get the subidirectory version of mu. I’d check the mu forums and around here before I chose that option though.
@fserer Nice work on integrating bp into your theme. Very slick.
Here’s the code which can be found in the BP home theme header:
<?php if ( function_exists(‘wp_logout_url’) ) : ?>
/ ” alt=”<?php _e( ‘Log Out’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>”><?php _e( ‘Log Out’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>
<?php else : ?>
/ “><?php _e( ‘Log Out’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Andy, congratulations for this release!
Just doing a soft-launch of http://jsusers.com aimed at becoming a web community for Javascript developers. Wasn’t too hard to get set up, but I’ve had to do a lot of small tweaks to get things ‘workable’. Good job for such a new project though!
I don’t know. I only tested it out of curiosity and that was on the mu root blog. Good question. Lame answer. 
The best way to do things is to test mu hard, get bbpress up and running and test it. Then install buddypress. Otherwise you never know who the culprit is in situations like this.
People on the other forums seem to think this is a buddyPress issue. Later today I will remove all plugins to see if this is a WP-MU issue.
j’utilise encore wpmu 2.6.5, je sais pas où et comment prendre la 2.7.
Mais sur mon serveur ca marche très bien, juste je cherche la traduction francaise pour le tester à fond.
I am wondering the same thing actually!
Just to close this out, I reinstalled my WPMU installation as subdomain instead of subdirectory and it works fine now.
However, if you are installing WPMU and BP as subdirectory, then it probably will not work at the moment.
Case closed.
@burtadsit: thanks for the link. just one question. it works just for the superadmin, not for userblogs. right?
Nicola, ok. (english version)
Nicola, non volevo che creassi codice per me o altri, ma solo pubblicizzarlo come progetto italiano essendo tu tale. Il lavoro e’ tuo, ed e’ giusto che ne abbia tutti i meriti. Semplicemente era una richiesta di collaborazione, se volevi, per il progetto BuddyPress Italy tutto qui.
Spero che ora ci siamo chiariti… (italian version 
)
@burtadsit: thanks! Now that BuddyPress is pretty much up and running this will be my “new” project for Explore With Me!
Thanks for the tips!
I got good news for ya meerblickzimmer. Ya it does work. I remember playing with it a couple of months ago. Just tried it again on my mu site. The config stuff is buried in the ‘secret’ options page. It’s not advertised, it’s just sorta there.
yourdomain.org/wp-admin/options.php
Here’s an mu thread.
https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1857
Happy posting.
@burtadsit: blog_by_email works just in WordPress, not in WordPress MU or i found no possibility to include this function via WPMU-Plugin. But that is not the right forum for WPMU – Plugin discussions..

Well, you’re in luck. I was tooling around this morning on an unrelated matter and found this goodie.
https://iphone.wordpress.org/
Introducing the first Open Source app that lets you write posts, upload photos, and edit your WordPress blog from your iPhone or iPod Touch. With support for both WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress (2.5.1 or higher), users of all experience levels can get going in seconds.
Imagine that.
I filled correct username.
And composed a Messege, when hit the button Send. It told me:
“Message could not be sent, please try again.”
So when should I try again?
Same error as when I post in Forum.. it says can not post this Topic. Looks like BuddyPress is not in a good mood

Strange you are seeing these problems, I decided to set up a fresh install WPMU 2.6.x and the BuddyPress combo beta1.
Firstly, the auto-complete doesn’t just complete on user’s names – it actually finds users based on their profile data too. Try it. It’s confusing and probably shouldn’t be like that, but I just reused the member search function for now. That should clear that up.
I tried creating two users and making them friends, the auto complete seemed to work both on Firefox and Safari. Are you using IE6? I can’t confirm it works in IE6, but I definitely got it working in IE7 before I tagged the beta.
Group creation seemed to work fine, when not uploading an group avatar, actually uploading an avatar – and also both with and without inviting friends. I did notice that two finish buttons displayed with the invite link, this is definitely a bug.
All I can really say is – try clearing your browser cache – perhaps you have old JS cached? I did change the messaging JS to a PHP file that dynamically loads some variables and then sends as a JS file. If you are using IE6 – don’t. Not with the beta.
Hopefully not everyone else is getting these problems, otherwise we’re going to see beta 2 pretty quickly.
@danielfelice
You looking for an app that runs on a cellphone I take it? I don’t even own a cellphone so I can’t help ya. Any phone that can send email and attach a pic should do it. I found this:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_by_Email
It’s got nothing to do with cellphones but it tells us how to setup wp to accept blog posts by email. I tried it and it works slick.
