There have been a few problems lately since I’ve been upgrading from BuddyPress RC1 to RC2 and finally to v1.0. First I’ve been thinking the problem was strictly BuddyPress related because the slugs like “groups”, “blogs”, “activity” and other BuddyPress specific slugs gave a dreadfull 404 error.
The problem was tracked down to qTranslate; which cleans the url in it’s hooks routines.
A temporary fix, to get your main blog working with BuddyPress and qTranslate is to disable clean_url temporary. This could affect SEO results so be careful!
edit qtranslate_hooks.php
find the line add_filter(‘clean_url’,’qtrans_convertURL’);
change this to:
if (!$wpdb->blogid = 1) { // or any blogid which doesn’t need to serve this ‘bug’…
add_filter(‘clean_url’,’qtrans_convertURL’);
}
I’ve tried putting the remove_filter(‘clean_url’,’qtrans_convertURL’) line in a seperate file to serve as plug-in but it seemed not to work at all, only by changing hard-coded… Anyone?

Hmm … problem in the link. If after the group-avatar to /, the page opens … How to configure .htaccess, that would always open group-avatar/ and change-avatar/?

This page does not work when you turn off boot avatar to the server as you https://buddypress.org/developers/***/profile/change-avatar

No, I do not help. GD libary installed and the correct permission blog folder.
Hi Jeff,
Sorry for my absence, it has been a busy few weeks. Susequent to my last post I have installed and reinstalled bbPress several times. Everytime I am able to get integration working fine. Login in both BuddyPress and bbPress is synchronized, posts made in groups show up in bbPress. Posts made in bbPress show up in BuddyPress groups. All copacetic.
The problem is that none of that activity is recorded in the site wide activity widget. Bummer. I have deactivated the forums system for the time being.
I am running WPMu 2.7.1 and BuddyPress 1.0 with bbPress 1.0 alpha 6.
Thanks for your interest.
@Scotm : You’re using P2 as your home theme – is there way for users to get to their Settings page (as seen in the default BP theme) ? I ask because in order to tweet to Twitter a username and password is required, so a user has to configure that somewhere first.
With this plugin, it adds a new item to the Settings menu so that users can config their username and password. So if you’re somehow integrating the Settings menu into your site and users can access it to configure their Twitter login info then I can add a template tag that can be used in P2 so that you can easily add the required HTML elements to your P2 post form to cause a ‘tweet to twitter’ feature to work pretty easily.
So in short it’d work like this: You include the template tag in your post form template code and that tag will insert a checkbox that says something like “Also tweet this to Twitter”. If the user checks the box when making a post then a tweet will be sent to Twitter. And if they don’t have their Twitter login info configured then the checkbox won’t even appear in the form. Instead there would be a short message like “You can tweet this to Twitter if you configure your Twitter user name and password in your profile settings”
Tweet search widget for blog sidebars is complete. On to P2 integration possibilities….
This is probably the 3rd post asking about buddypress.org theme. People should search carefully before posting.
There’re millions of css resources and samples on the net, and one can easily create or at least change a part of the theme to what they want. bp has custom.css and site-wide.css system which you can add/override css.
Tweet from Wire added today. Working on search for a sidebar widget now. Then we’ll have a look at P2 integration needs.
I like the default member theme and appreciate all of Andy’s hard work. I’m sure there are many more excellent updates to come!

Just putting this question out to the developer community here again…
No dis-respect to James and Andrew over at http://premium.wpmudev.com but I’m wondering if anybody has come across (or developed) any other paid upgrades type plugins or functionality for WPMU and/or preferrably BuddyPress?
I know the WPMU boys are working on a BP version of the supporter plugin but, as many developers here have highlighted, while the supporter plugin isn’t particularly expensive, when you have zero revenue a little can be a lot and we all love choice.
I am researching various security functions and plugins for use with my buddypress sites. I realize that some security issues have to do with the webhost, but I’d still like to take sensible and (in some cases) heightened precautions.
So I’ve started this thread to allow everyone to share their favorite security plugins/tools/code snippets or testing programs with the community.
Plugins
-WPMU Signup Captcha
-WP-Security
-Limit login attempts
-Members only
I’ve also heard good things about WP-Spamfree.
Thanks!
it seems that there is problem with storing of user activity, any help with coding or testing?
Hello!
I’ve just tried this plugin: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=381#post-1515
And it’s actually not working. When I activate the plugin, the group forums disappear in all BP groups.
Moreover, When I check the admin page of each BP groups, I can’t see the “activate forum option” anymore.
I’ve tried to place the plugin in both bb-plugins and my-plugins directories.
I’m using:
WPmu 2.7.1
BP 1.0 (oh yeah!
)
bbpress 1.0 alpha 6
Am I the only one having this problem? Maybe the plugin is not working with the last version of BP?
Thanks a lot!!

To divide groups: suppose that similiar:
-…
– change in bp-groups.php groups_Setup_globals function:
<br />
$bp->groups->table_name = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_groups';<br />
$bp->groups->table_name_members = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_groups_members';<br />
$bp->groups->table_name_groupmeta = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_groups_groupmeta';<br />
(not checked)
Making bp-messages and bp-xprofile sites-ready should be similiar but in my case i will let them be global.
To divide blogs:
– described above change to bp-core
– change in bp-blogs.php bp_blogs_setup_globals function:
$bp->blogs->table_name = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_user_blogs';
$bp->blogs->table_name_blog_posts = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_user_blogs_posts';
$bp->blogs->table_name_blog_comments = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_user_blogs_comments';
$bp->blogs->table_name_blogmeta = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_user_blogs_blogmeta';
How to separate activity for each site:
– similiar change to bp-core.php as above
– change in bp-activity.php function bp_activity_setup_globals()
$bp->activity->table_name_user_activity = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_activity_user_activity';
$bp->activity->table_name_user_activity_cached = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_activity_user_activity_cached';
$bp->activity->table_name_sitewide = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_activity_sitewide';
-i don’t know why, but there was also necessary to comment this lines in bp-activity-classes.php function save() (what, as i suppose, may cause some problems):
//if ( !$this->item_id || !$this->user_id || $this->is_private || !$this->component_name )
//return false;
@Mixicoverdad
I just clicked on your website.
Is your website really being hacked ?
If yes, then it seems BuddyPress is not really save !???
good call djpaul, just wanting to post an update incase anyone else visited this thread with the same issue, that it is in fact still a problem for me running the latest version of BP and wpmu. I’ll start a new thread and link it back to here.
I have the same question. I’d like to add a bit to the standard template then have that template be the default template for people who create a blog. So, they will be able to make posts but not change the template.
I’ve one really important question – Can we use certain CSS code pieces of buddypress.org theme in our themes?
