Added missing switch_to_blog() call which was causing issues with using the recent blog posts widget.

Glad to hear you resolved everything. I too had no problem adding the BuddyPress features to another theme.

You may need to install WPMU and BuddyPress in the root, not in a directory.

Andy mentioned that it will come after the initial major release of Buddypress, but you can keep up by following the timeline.

@gpo1 using a custom theme works just fine now. Your bp admin bar shows up even using that alternate theme. Give it a try.

scotm, I like your site are you using the modify buddypress home theme ?

Because I want to use a custom theme,but I want the login task bar & sign-up features on the custome theme.

So, How can I do this on a custom theme?

Have you checked out http://www.omnis.com/

Not wp-content/plugins/bp-languages

It should uploaded in wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-languages

PS: All the BP plugins should installed in “mu-plugins” not “plugins”

I hope that a fix will be find … I agree that this kind of functionality is really important.

I know exactly how i want to use it but we have to be patient …

I will follow this thread !!

Apologies for hijacking the thread, but it seems like even with my file in the wp-content/plugins/bp-languages folder, it still doesn’t seem to work.

My file is called en_US.mo cause I need to change a few words in buddypress (but not in WP Mu), but I didn’t change the WPLANG constant (though I’ve tried, not that it makes any sense changing it). Is that causing the non-translating-dom?

Many thanks!

I fired up another ticket on this. The fix for the infinite loop doesn’t seem to work. Running with that fix and it still happens. Other strange things happen as well. I disabled the blogs component in the mean time.

Ok, It looks better than before, but still some issue on width on my screen. The width exceeds my browser width and it extends on right hand side.

Not sure everyone has same problem as I am using mini-Laptop with resolution of 1024 x 600 (That may look odd but my screen is like that, can’t be any better)

Below are screenshots of my screen and I have circled the problematic areas.

I’m currently using future hosting VPS (futurehosting.biz) and am happy as pie. I spent hours researching VPS providers and it was down to SliceHost and Future Hosting. I decided to go with Future Hosting strictly based on cost vs. given resources.

I second the the fact that VPS or a Dedicated server is the best route. Shared hosting is great for a super small WPMU site, anything over a 50 or so active users your going to run into resource issues.

Has anyone messed around with Amazon’s EC2 and S3 services?

If you have permalinks up and running already, it shouldn’t be an issue with the .htaccess as buddypress uses existing permalinks. Do you have a cache plugin installed? Anything in your error logs? Have an example?

In terms of privacy of seeing profiles, this is coming in a later version by default, but for now, you can do what I proposed at the following:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=160

It just makes the entire buddypress-member theme from being no viewable by anyone but logged in members. The buddypress-home theme still is available for signups though.

I just deleted the subdomains that were created with the old system. Then I just put the following in my wp-config.php for WPMU:

define( 'NOBLOGREDIRECT', 'http://mydomain.com' );

That of course needs to be changed to your domain. What that does is take any random requests (in this case old reference requests) and sends them back to my main domain page. This also makes it so you don’t get the fancy signup page for random domains you are trying to register through the address and have to do it through your wp-signup.php page.

Since most registration works better for me through the main buddypress theme signup page, this change didn’t bother me at all. Plus it stopped all the requests giving errors or “signup pages” that came from the old URL’s.

Something to think about…

I can’t get the site wide tagging plugin to work properly at all with bp.

I remember testing it before I fired up bp and it seemed to work great. Now I don’t get the posts being replicated properly. Doesn’t create categories and it doesn’t use a permalink to the originating blog. I get permalinks to the ‘tag’ blog. Like they were created on the tag blog. Not much use that. It just acts flaky with bp installed.

I sure wish I could use it! That kind of functionality is pretty important in a blog community.

Try now.

Strange…I think there is some modification in progress on the demo site. I tested it a while ago(at the time of my prev post) and it was giving 404 error. Now it shows broken pages.

BTW I hv only IE6 installed on XP Home. No IE 7 on my PC.
