500,000 and 1 million people in the next 6 months!! Really huge!! Nice!!
Seppolaatle112,
Have a look in this file:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php
I think you’ll find what you want!
Same issue as a few others in this thread—
I’m using WPMU 2.7.1, BuddyPress 1.0, and bbPress 1.0-Alpha-6. Followed all install instructions, and voila! Logins are synchronized. Logging in to WPMU automagically logs me in to bbPress, and vice versa.
HOWEVER…
WHen I set up a new group within WPMU/BuddyPress, I *still* get the highly annoying “Attention Site Admin: Group forums require the correct setup and configuration of a bbPress installation.â€
I was using my admin user as the KeyMaster, also created another user (forumbridge) and tried setting him as the keymaster. No dice. Can’t get the group forums to grok–which was the entire point of this exercise.
Any suggestions?
see this page: https://codex.buddypress.org/translations/ contains usefull information.
you find “mistery man” in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg
is a raw solution but it work
In buddypress under general settings there is an option to set a default avatar when a subscriber signs up if they don’t have a pic to upload to their profile.
the question is… can i create my own avatar that would be the default?
if so, how can I do this?
I tried looking in the images folder in buddypress to find a .gif file of an avatar, but no luck, unless I was looking in the wrong folder. all I want to do is change out one of the default avatar image files and use my own buddypress. anyone have any ideas?
in home i see another theme, you’ve tried with default home and member theme?
Hi Tellman, I can help you. Check your message box here at this site for more info.
I have related questions about the relationship between the WP tables and the BP tables, so I’d like to make sure that I understand the responses above.
I know that BP maintains user profile information separately from “wp_usermeta” (in “wp_bp_xprofile_data”, to be specific). BP provides functionality for modifying this information, but no way for putting “wp_usermeta” fields into the “edit profile” form.
So I think the answer to Peter’s question is that without *major* customization:
1. You have to be happy with user data being stored in a few different places
2. All user editable info must be in the tables created by BP
Is this correct?
BTW, what does the “Disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing?” option do under BP General Settings in the admin page? Does this only apply to the username field?
Tadziz, In your Buddypress-folder you should find a folder called bp-languages. There you’ll find BP’s languagefile. Remeber that your Buddypress-installation will use the same language as your installation of Wpmu does.
Just a tip,: You can find more information about translating buddypress if you search the forums.

I am looking to hire someone out to build a large social network for me using buddypress. Ideally this person would have developed at least a few buddypress themes and plugins for Buddypress.
If you are the person I am looking for – please respond to this post so we can chat about more details.
The social network is going to have between 500,000 and 1 million people in the next 6 months – so I need someone who can move fast and modify things quickly as we expand.
Thanks!

I did this… permissions set at 755. As mentioned, all was working until I updated the settings to show a different avatar
Please move “/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/” to “/wp-content/bp-themes/” and refresh this page.
are you sure to have moved this folder? check the permission to 755.
I’m running WordPress MU 2.7.1 on a HostGator server.
I’ve installed BuddyPress, all was working perfectly. (latest version… downloaded a couple of days ago.
I then attempted to install BBPress for forum functionality. Had to do a few workarounds, and can’t even remember exactly what I did to get it to work, but I could log in with same username and password on either the BBPress install or the BuddyPress install, so whatever I did, it worked.
My trouble started when I visited my MU admin section at http://twitterwatchdog.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-core.php and chose the “Mystery Man” avatar to be displayed for those who didn’t upload their own pic.
At that point, a visit back to http://twitterwatchdog.com/members/ suddenly yielded an error message saying I don’t have any BuddyPress Themes installed.
Long story short, they are. They are installed, and were working up until I hit the save settings button on the General Settings page of BuddyPress. Now, it’s asking me to choose between my standard themes on my site (those in wp-content/themes) and I know those won’t work.
Can someone tell me where to even START looking for the cause of this problem?
I’m thinking I need to uninstall the forums, but I don’t have a clue on how to even do that (It’s my first experience with BBPress)
Same problem here, nothing wso in the error logs.
/edit host tells me that BuddyPress wants to much memory 
So my friend can forget BP

Ok. I’m included error log on my server. One error:
2009/05/25 00:07:01 [error] 8912#0: *7 open() “/home/designfolio/public_html/members/admin/profile/change-avatar” failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 192.168.0.5, server: *.designfolio.o$
Hi, i’m a member of the Italian Support Team for BuddyPress and i want to create a plugins directory for the Italian plugin and for the translated plugins.
Is possible have the guideline to create a plugins directory like the plugin directory in this site?
I think this is usefull for all the users that using BP in the world and all the localization team can make a plugin directory in their language.
Thanks for all the information!
As jjj explains in that thread, you need to customize your homepage. You will not get the default homepage to work as is with your current set up. You can either have a static page and the members theme, or a the default home theme with a members theme. But you will not be able to have this sequence:
Your own static front page > Default BuddyPress Home theme > BuddyPress member theme
You need to follow jjj’s advice.
I comment the lines in the .htacces out and hacked the bp-core-avatar.php as mentioned.
I would restore these files back to their original coding before you continue looking into the cause of this particular issue. The advice from that particular member was from 5 months ago. Since then, many bug fixes and improvements have been made in BP.
When it comes to the BuddyPress core files, it is never a good idea to hack them. Do not touch to core files. We will not be able to help you if you are not using the same core files everyone else is using.
Once you have done that, answer these questions:
- You’re positive that the permissions on blogs.dir and the existing subfolders are set to 777?
- Are you uploading a gif or png image?
- Are there ANY errors in your log file? If so, what are they?
- You mentioned that this issue occurs no matter what browser you try. Which versions of Firefox and Internet Explorer are you using?
@Chris5858 – what is in your web server’s error log?
Server not record logs files…
This is hard to believe. Ask your ISP to provide access to the log files for your account. If they cannot, or will not, give you access, you should consider switching to a different ISP.
Access to log files can be very crucial to figuring out issues.
Are you sure that you’ve placed everything in the correct folders? Remember that in the new version of BuddyPress, directory placement & names are different. i.e. buddypress should be found in wp-content/plugins/buddypress. Member theme is wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember. Home theme is wp-content/themes/bphome
Also, if you’re using a custom theme, there are a few changes that must be made to it in order for it to work properly with the new version of BuddyPress.
I have the same problem.
I just submitted a detailed bug ticket and am waiting for a response. i really want BP so I hope I get a good response, and if I do, I will post it here.
Versions: BuddyPress 1, bbPress Alpha 6, WPMU 2.7.1 — I had this same problem with the 2 previous “releases” of BuddyPress.
Problem = Newest, Active & Popular links on Members & Groups widget.
When using WAMP the “switcher” works perfectly. When I put the site online, those links break. The only way I can get them to work is to use default permalinks. Bluck!!
I host with GoDaddy (stop laughing and feeling sorry for me). Everything works until it’s on their server so I’m assuming that they’re the root of all of my problems (as usual). Is there anything required to make that function work? i.e. “check your phpinfo and see if such and such is on”
Thank You!!
