I actually contacted gigya a few days ago, and they informed me that buddypress + wpmu plugin is on their roadmap.
Today I asked them if they could give an estimate time, when that would happen and did not get an answer yet. I will post the answer here once I get it.
Whats the best way of transferring an installation something over, i’ve got example-domain.com and want to use exampledomain.co.uk instead but everythings going to be on the same server. I just want to change the the domain name.
I’ve got wpmu 2.71 / buddypress 1.01 / and bbpress (can’t remember which version) installed.
Is there a simple way of doing this that I’m missing.
Cheers in advance
Chris
I got the fatal error after deactivating the BP plugin and reactivating it. You have you delete the the BP plugin and themes and/or other files you moved out of the BP folder. (example BBpress-plugin and bphome theme) After all that fresh install.
No idea what’s happening, but my advice would be to disable all plugins, check and recheck the existence of all of the BuddyPress files in their correct locations, and try again?
So far so good here, at least with the latest trunk version. I imagine BP1.0.3 will react the same as it did to 2.8.2.
You need to have the WordPress language files in wp-contents/languages first, before WordPress will give you the option of changing the site and blog languages to something other than default. Once you have the files there, set your Site Language in Site-Admin->Options, then set your blog language in Settings->General.
Basically BuddyPress will follow whatever WordPress MU is set to do, but it cannot tell it what to do (yet).
WordPressMU has a specific way of handling language settings that involves a function that overrides the typical get_locale().
I had the same problem. I also refused to use a version that is non stable.
I read everything over and over. Mostly everything point to three major “integration” blogs.
I almost gave up until I was looking at my FTP and noticed the read “installation-readme.txt” in the bp-forums folder in BuddyPress plugin.
This line—-> Also check the “Enable Pingbacks” option just below.
That’s the only thing that wasn’t in the instructions. I enable in both WPMU and BBPress and it worked!
Setup: WPMU 2.8.3 + BuddyPress 1.0.3 + bbPress 1.0.2 + Almost ALL Plugins!

Feedback is welcome!
So you are using a custom member theme that used to work but recently stopped working.
Did you discover that your custom theme stopped working after you upgraded BuddyPress? If so, you are missing some new functionality in your theme. In other words, your custom theme is out of date.
Switch to the default BP member theme and see if that works. If so, then you have three choices:
1. Copy the functions.php file from the new default member theme into your custom theme. If that does the trick, problem solved.
2. If that does not work, then the next option is to search through BuddyPress trac for all theme changes to the member theme since the last version. Make any necessary changes to your custom member theme.
3. As an alternative to 2 above, you could simply compare the code in the default BP member theme with your custom member theme.
Also, if you built your custom member theme from the default BP member theme, make sure that you have all the necessary CSS files for your custom theme.
Hi there,
The BP site I’m working on at the moment uses ldap integration for account creation/sign in. The plugin automatically grabs the student’s email address from their ldap details, which is exactly what we want it to do. However, it would be nice if there was an ability to add a 2nd email field to the profile (e.g. “personal email address”) which would allow the student to specify an additional email address (e.g. hotmail, yahoo, gmail, etc) for all of their email notifications to be cc’d to.
I’ve tried to hunt down plugins to this effect but I’ve not found anything so far. I was considering performing some core modifications to try to achieve this, but obviously that isn’t the optimal solution.
Does anyone have any pointers for a modification I could make or a plugin that I could easily adapt? I’m relatively decent with my php, though not amazingly experienced with buddypress 
I think the latest test version is here, but apparently Buddypress 1.1 will be released next week, so it may not be worth the hassle to install the test version.
Something very weird is happening. Last week, I posted that I had finally launched:
http://workathomesafari.com.
It’s still the basic theme, but I’m starting to develop an idea of how I want it to look.
Anyway, when I’m logged in, I can see the post. But when I log out, the post disappears. Any ideas on what is happening?
DJPaul, I tried out the code you posted in the link above on my dev setup.
I just renamed the file to example_achievements.php (from phps), and uploaded to muplugins to see what it does. When I try to log into wp-admin, it shows me all the code from the file I just uploaded as well as the following error:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/kunal17/public_html/jainkunal/wordpressmu/wp-content/mu-plugins/example_achievements.php:1) in /home/kunal17/public_html/jainkunal/wordpressmu/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-signup.php on line 5

I am running WPMU2.8.2, BP1.0.3
Possibly. There may be something else in the database with regards to the path. I wouldn’t recommend moving an installation, I’d personally always reinstall it.
Are you using any custom slugs and when you try to register, is there anything in your web server log? Also please see https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/when-asking-for-support
Hello everyone,
I’m in the development stages of a big project. We are working on setting up WordPress/BuddyPress/BBPress as a replacement for drupal. So far it’s been great. All functions are working the way we’d expect them to…. EXCEPT… one little thing… for some unknown reason our Buddypress themes stopped loading on all Buddypress related pages. This doesn’t seem to affect anything in term of functionality… just looks really bad.
Check it out here: http://www.myforeskin2.org/members
The theme loads on both WordPress and on BBPress… just not on BuddyPress. I’ve tried changing themes, clearing cache, deleting and resinstalling themes… nothing.
Any idea?
Yup,
WPMU 2.8.3 + Buddypress 1.03 work tremendously on my website http://www.jazz.or.id.
Thanks a lot.
The link /wp-signup.php is not working from the “create a new account” button or the signup button. I am getting an error with Firefox: “Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.” I checked the .htaccess file to see if there was anything in there that could be causing it but nothing turns up. I do have registration for new accounts enabled. I also have a bbpress integration and when a user registers for a new account there, it works no problem and creates the buddypress user as well. But on the homepage for the buddypress activity I can’t get the signup link to work. Any ideas?
Gigya Socialize worked for my install… I’ve only tried myspace, facebook and twitter – but it authenticated me correctly and I was able to login to BuddyPress. Only issue I’m having is that each time you login with one of your social usernames, it creates a new username in WPMU/BuddyPress, as opposed to all tying to your one WPMU/BuddyPress account. This created havoc for me, since I want to use groups, and other permissions.
At this point, I’m leaning towards limiting to just the Facebook login. Does anyone know if there is a way to hide/not allow login using the actual wordpress login, and ONLY use the login for Gigya Socialize? I/e allow users to go to wp-admin, but not give them the option to login using the user/pass – only letting them see the Gigya Socialize plugin.
I’m working on replies here. Thank you very much for the positive response so far
Screenshots: I haven’t got any, but look at my achievements profile on my BuddyPress site at http://dangerous-minds.org/members/djpaul/achievements/.
So, what changed? Did you change server, database, BuddyPress version?
Not related to BuddyPress… but to the forum on this website. There’s an annoying bug with the text editor used for this forum (buddypress.org). It works fine when creating your original post / reply… but if you edit the post afterwards… every time you click someone within the text to insert your cursor… a <strong> tag gets created. Very annoying. I’m seeing this in Safari 4.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.5.8

I installed wpmu 2.8.3 + buddypress 1.0.3, but when I tried to activate the plugin it shows fatal error… I installed buddypress via ftp… then I deleted the buddypress directory and installed buddypress via add new plugin in the admin area. It works fine but there’s no directory of buddypress in plugin directory… odd!
For testing I’m using the default template of buddypress, in the home page I added some widgets… I added Recently Active Member Avatars and Who’s Online Avatars… I’m getting this warning for both widgets:
Warning: Division by zero in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php on line 819
The problem is that I don’t have a plugin directory in the root cause I installed via add new to correct the error…
Anyone knows what’s happening?
Would be amazing to see FB connect just built into Buddypress. Would help communities starting out with BP to establish users. Would also help get more people downloading and implementing BP due to the popularity of FB.
If it just worked on the standard install of BP then it would appeal to a huge audience and issues like this wouldn’t be much of a question.
I got an error. I initially got the forum up and running, and when I went to post a new topic in a group, it worked. But then a couple days later when we finnaly lauched the site, it now says
“There was an error posting that topic.â€
Every time I try to post a new topic in any group. It just stopped working. The forum is still up if I go to it by itself, but I can’t post in the group forums on my buddypress site. Thanks for any help!
How do you handle fullname/real name in these school community sites:
1. students can just fill in whatever they like in the standard BP fullname field?
2. or did you add code to check for a two-part name?
3. or do you have code that synchronizes the firstname and lastname fields in wp_usermeta with the fullname field in BP xprofile?
4. did you create a custom xprofile field for lastname and use fullname for first name?
I still haven’t figured out what the best solution is…
Also how do you keep track of members when the admin areas use the usernames? Did you find a way to synchronize usernames with fullnames? What about blognames/urls?
Chris Kenniburg, is your Set Privacy plugin available somewhere? Is it a regular WP(MU) plugin?
