Hi everyone,
I’m new to BuddyPress and I had a search on this forum before adding this new topic. Unfortunately I didn’t find anything.
I already have a standard (not MU) WordPress website with almost 100 users. Everyone with their profile and posts. I’m planning to migrate to a social network platform for my users, and I’d like to export users and their data into WordPressMU/BuddyPress.
Is there any workaround or plugin, to do this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Topic: Group/Personal Avatar issues
I’ve already submitted this issue to trac, but I’m hoping somebody else has had this problem too and found a temporary fix to it.

Essentially what is happening is no crop tools are given when a user uploads an image. The uploaded image will show on the screen, but they are unable to crop it, and the “crop preview” is non-existent. This happens with both my user avatars and group avatars.
Before anybody asks, I’m using the Trunk version 1202, I have GD Library and Image Magick installed, and I’m on a VPS, not shared hosting. If anybody knows what could be causing it I’d greatly appreciate the help!

Hi all,
Sorry this is going to be a long post, but there’s something I find very strange in the open source world, and WP in particular.
Since I first started to use WP 5 years ago I’ve seen people on forums saying they’d really be interested in seeing some plugin developed, and that they’d even be prepared to participate financially, but most of the time things don’t come through.
I’ve always felt that there was something to be done here, some way to get interested people to fund together the development of plugins in an organized and reasonably safe fashion.
Couldn’t we try something like this:
1. Set up a new forum section, or a subsection of the “request & feedback”, to post requests by people who’d be prepared to commit to participate to the funding.
2. For those projects that gather enough interest, we then create a dedicated group (a funding group), where only those who are prepared to finance become members.
3. Since guys like me don’t know how choose a good coder (and here’s an important point), there could be an experienced programmer (from Automattic maybe…
) that would act as the project’s “supervisor”, and guide the selection of the coder.4. Once we’re set on the features and dev cost of the plugin, we’d try and gather enough group members to fund it.
5. Once enough members are there, a fund call message is sent to all of them, we wire the money onto some paypal account, and development can start under the supervision of the supervisor (the guy we rely on not to get swindled). There could be a devlog where we follow the process.
The cornerstone of all this is finding professionals to act as supervisors. But I think that WP and BP would really benefit from this, as it could speed up the development of great features.
Imagine, a plugin that would cost 800$ to develop would only take 40 people paying 20$ each. Why isn’t this happening already?
In order to put somekind of incentive in funding projects, there could be a period of time set before the plugin is ultimately released to the open public for download.
What do you guys think?
PS. I just saw that there’s already a discussion on the same topic on the forum at BuddyPress Dev
In my website i show my free themes for buddypress, but i don’t know how to create live preview of my themes. How it is possible to allow users (not registered) to choose themes and see them live?
Hello there, first post:
I have searched and fiddled around for a way to register new users automatically to the blog they selected “register” in.
This is what happens: I have a WPMU + BuddyPress installation with 2 blogs: “/” & “community”. “http://mysite.com/community” is where buddypress is running perfectly and “http://mysite.com” is the regular institutional website.
When someone visits the buddypress installation on “community” and selects to register, he is redirected to “http://mysite.com/wp-signup.php” and therefore gets signed up at the main blog (“/”) and not to “community” as I intended. So I have to manually change each registered user in the wp-admin interface every time…
I know there were a few subfolder issues (as was my case) but now everything else works seamlessly…
Any pointers of what should I change in order for this to work smoothly?
Cheers!
Topic: Widget Assignment Incorrect
I’m a newbie to BuddyPress, but I’m pretty familiar with WP, just not mu. I have BP rc-1 installed and running however, when I select a widget for the right-column or center-column it is added to the left column with the exception of the text widget. I am using the BP home theme. Please help.
Topic: Can not change the Theme.
I’ve installed wordpress MU and it works correctly. Then i installed buddypress but when i moved the themes into the correct folders and changed them in the ADMIN settings the theme did not change to the buddy press theme. any suggestions?
