Freaking Wildchild-
Since Donncha’s WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin (aka the sunrise domain plugin) allows you to map a blog to another domain, this could be the issue. I would post on the WPMU forum or, better yet, contact Donncha directly to ask for his assistance. http://ocaoimh.ie/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/
This is beyond scope of the BuddyPress support forums.

Thanks for the detailed response!
A few more questions:
1. Did you copy over to WPMU’s root the .htaccess file that comes with the download?
2. Did you select the BuddyPress member theme in WPMU’s backend via “BuddyPress > General Settings > Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages”?

Okay, I’ve made a mistake. I did not even notice that you had linked to the members’ theme, not the home theme.
My widget is for the home them. What you’re asking about is not a widget. It is a coded into the /directories/members/index.php file in the bphome theme.
You can make your own custom theme, edit this out, and get what you want:
<div class="item-meta"><span class="activity"><?php bp_the_site_member_last_active() ?></span></div>
<div class="field-data">
<div class="field-name"><?php bp_the_site_member_total_friend_count() ?></div>
<div class="field-name xprofile-data"><?php bp_the_site_member_random_profile_data() ?></div>
</div>
Just make sure to place your custom theme in the proper place and then select it in WPMU’s backend via “BuddyPress > General Settings > Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages”

I’m glad your BuddyPress install is functioning once again.
As you have already done, one of the first places to begin troubleshooting BuddyPress issues is by deactivating plugins one at a time until the problem goes away. If it does not go away, then the issue may be BuddyPress related.
I do not see any BuddyPress widgets entitled “Featured Members” in my v1.0 install of BP. Are you using a version newer than v1.0 from trunk?
Either way, the widget I linked you to will solve your problem.

I’ve just created my site, check it out!
It is still a work in progress

Uh, this is the widget that comes with BuddyPress … I have not installed any member widgets from any other source … !
We don’t have sufficient information to provide any assistance. Please answer these questions:
- Which version of WPMU are you running?
- Did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU, and if so, from which version and how?
- Did you have WPMU functioning properly before installing and upgrading BuddyPress?
- Which version of BuddyPress are you running?
- Did you log in as site admin in WPMU’s backend and activate BuddyPress?
- Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated?
- Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or custom themes?
- Are there are errors in your server’s log files, and if so, what are they?

Where did you get this Featured Members widget version? It does not look like mine.
My Featured Members widget only show’s avatar and name. You can find it here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-featured-members-widget/
Here is what I am trying to find.
When a user clicks the ‘create group’ button in their profile, the user is given the choice of
group name
group description
recent news
The user fills in the information and the group is created. That part is normal and works.
Behind the scenes somehow buddypress is also creating a bbpress ‘group forum’ for that group.
What file actually is in charge of creating the bbpress group forum?
I am 90% done with a mod that will replace bbpress with vbulletin for groups forums, and also the ability to give each blog their ‘own’ vbulletin forum.
The reason I am asking for the file that ‘creates the bbpress group forum’ when a new group is created, is so that I can strip that part out, and replace it with the code needed to create a vbulletin group forum instead….
JadedEvan,
Regarding the elusive die(‘0’) in bp-core-ajax-handler.php, if you have an alternative that you feel works better or will be more future proof, drop a ticket in the Trac with a fix or a patch.
The BP 1.0 release is the first stable, reliable, full working version of the core of BuddyPress. Right now there are a number of specific things going on behind the scenes, including security sweeps, code cleaning and beautification, bug hunting, etc…
It is anticipated that there will be a certain amount of bugs and quirks even in the 1.0 version of BuddyPress, and the dev team is still steadily submitting patches and updating the trunk almost daily with little changes and tweaks.
Response to your questions are as follows:
1. I am positive I am running wordpressMU, under my admin dashboard it states You are using WordPress MU 2.7.1.
2. This is a fresh install of WordPressMU and Buddypress. I had never heard of either of these until a week ago so I installed WordPressMU 2.7.1 first and then downloaded BuddyPress1.0 and installed via installation instructions listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypress/
3. I believe WordPressMU was functioning, but I had never used it before so I can’t state that confidently. Just from playing around with it previously and me still being able to use the dashboard without issue, I would say it was functioning.
4. I am using BuddyPress1.0
5. Yes I logged in as site admin on WPMU’s backend, activated buddypress under the plugins section, and am currently utilizing the BuddyPress Default Home Theme 1.0
6. The only plugin I have listed is BuddyPress and I’ve never installed any other plugins
7. I believe I am using the standard buddypress theme that was automatically installed with BuddyPress, I myself did not install any custom themes
8. I do not see any error messages that are catching my eye in my /var/log/messages
Just a little additional info. I’m running WordPress/BuddyPress on my own webserver. I am running a linux box using CentOS 5.3 and apache to host my current website utilizing drupal and all works fine. I wanted to utilize the BuddyPress social networking feel for my site so I’d like to move to BuddyPress. I started from scratch with installing WordPressMU and BuddyPress. I made the correct databases and users using MySQL. If you have any other questions please let me know. Thanks
I know this probably does some harm to server security and makes the data integrity a little bit more questionable.
As you recognize, increasing programming flexibility at the expense of platfrom security is not the proper tradeoff. Your request for the ability of BuddyPress plugins to make cross-domain application calls is such a security risk.
As an Open Source project, you are free to hack the core features of your copy of BuddyPress as you see fit. Just remember that if your server and data get compromised because of your hacks, we will not be able to offer any support.
Okay, before we can assist further, we need more information. Please answer these questions:
- You’re positive that you’re running WordPress Mu and not single-version WP?
- Assuming the answer to number 1 is yes, then did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU, and if so, from which version and how?
- Did you have WPMU functioning properly before installing and upgrading BuddyPress?
- Which version of BuddyPress are you running?
- Did you log in as site admin in WPMU’s backend and activate BuddyPress?
- Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated?
- Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or custom themes?
- Are there are errors in your server’s log files, and if so, what are they?
I tried to add those and it still isn’t working, its still giving me the 404 error. But now the path has changed to /wpmu/users/admin/ instead of it being /wpmu/members/admin/ Any other suggestions as to how to fix this? I’m still getting the 404 Not found error
I’m closing this thread as it is not a BuddyPress support question. If you’re interested in providing services, contact member via the message component of BP.org.
Enlightenmental1, in case you did not know, there is a Jobs Board here: https://buddypress.org/groups/buddypress-job-board
The reason you cannot find a directory called “members” is because /members/ is a slug and not a directory. Here’s an article that might shed some light: https://buddypress.org/blog/how-to/customizable-slugs-in-buddypress/
I’m having difficulty getting BuddyPress to work properly. I’m using WordPress MU 2.7.1 and I installed BuddyPress. I have followed the installation instructions listed under the download section on the buddypress website. The issues I am having is once I login as my user, admin in this case, when I try and access any link listed under the My Account tab, I can’t access it. It shows the path as being /wpmu/members/admin/ but on my webserver there is no directory called members anywhere. I host my own website and I’m trying to add this to it. Its almost like it is suppose to create this by default, but its not creating this path automatically. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Thanks for your help
you just need to edit your Members-Theme and move the “post to wire box/function” to where you want it.
bp-themes/buddypress-member/profile/index.php
on the very bottom of the page, you’ll see an IF statement “bp_wire_get_post_list”
just move that where you want it, be sure to keep it in the right DIVs
It’d be nice to open up buddypress to allow for more extensible AJAX calls. I’ve already modified my code base to allow for both server REQUEST methods (POST and GET). I was beating my head against the wall trying to figure out why my JSON request was being ignored.
I needed to make a JSON call across domains (from one WordPress install to another) and found myself unable to access the AJAX functions that I’ve written for my custom Buddypress plugin. I know this probably does some harm to server security and makes the data integrity a little bit more questionable.
Also, it’d be nice to see the dev team get rid of the die(‘0’) statement in the bp-core-ajax-handler.php page. That 0 is a consistent nuisance that I have to strip out with additional and unnecessary javascript code.
Hi again
I made some mistakes:
– asume that the upgrade from RCx to v1 was simply copying files over the old ones and didn’t noticed the change in the setup procedure to /wp-content/plugins/buddypress
– Also is posible that as my MU base was 2.7 it messed a bit too
– Tampering the themes fields in the db with a non ortodox setup
I started the intall process all over and it works fine again.
As a final test I tried to swap the old DB for the new one but I get again messages like the BP_PLUGIN_DIR path.
Just if helps …
Regards,
you would edit your bp bp-themes/ or theme/buddypress-home/
depending on where you want it.
you could also add the “tweet” stuff directly to the functions.php file
/themes/buddypress-home/home.php
(the above is the home page, which calls the left,center,right sidebars)
you could manually insert your code there.
there’s a few different way to do that…. some would say creating a plugin/function/bp-custom code is the best
Just replaced the 6 instances of get_option(‘home’) in header.php of my member blog theme with $bp->root_domain as described.
Don’t see any difference in the behavior of the site.
Really impressed with delsolownersclub wow. great work.
I’d love to turn this into a procedure for the community, but I don’t know how to do it yet. Stuck here too: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1632&page=2&replies=43#post-14553
Best,

I am looking for this exact eplaination as well it is perfect how it is done on buddypress. It would be helpful if once you installed buddypress and do the integration of the forums that it somehow shows up on in your site like it does here. I am no coder and am sure it is not trivial.
