BuddyPress.org

@flyveren Okay, I will do as you suggest. I did look around in my db and I couldn’t differentiate the buddypress tables from the rest of the tables. I’m going to read up on this.

A fella like me that’s new at all of this, I don’t need the Beta version. I have successfully re-installed 1.6.4 and everything is working great. I really like this BuddyBoss theme. My mother is going to like it, too, when she sees it.

I’m glad to hear that you have this theme as well. If I have any questions, I will send you a mention.

I do have one concern that although everything is fine now, when it comes time to upgrade to the newest BP version when that time comes, that everything will go as planned. I think there’s something to be said for allowing WordPress the chance to install plugins and themes on its own instead of using FileZilla. I would imagine the final version of BP will be slimmed down to clear entry into WP. Either that or WP will update just prior and relax the upload limitation a bit and allow a slightly bigger BP folder to come up and install.

I’m going to enjoy my new theme and get building my social site. If you, or anyone, thinks I should clear those tables and reload 1.6.4, please let me know. I’m not afraid to try it. If you think the tables are fine — because my site is running fine — I’ll leave then alone. I just hope when the day comes to upgrade that I’ll be okay. By then, I’ll have a great deal of time invested in my site.

Thanks for taking the time and helping!

@flyveren I got your message by e-mail that you added me as guest, just before I deactivated 1.6.4. I’m not able to upload 1.7Beta1 while inside of WP. I get a message that the file is too big.

I just finished uploading 1.7 via FileZila, and when I went to activate it, I received this error:

Warning: require(/home/*****/public_html/gumpolen/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-template-loader.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/*****/public_html/gumpolen/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-1.7Beta1/bp-loader.php on line 401

I somehow need to reset WP so that I can upload 1.7 as a brand new install. Would you have any suggestions?

My BuddyBoss theme works perfectly on 1.7Beta1 on another site of mine where I practice. Are there some core BP files that I can delete on http://www.gumpolen.com so that BP installs as if it’s the first time — when I re-upload it?

I will try to install it again and see what happens.

When I installed 1.7 Beta1, I simply deleted the current version and uploaded the Beta with FileZila and then activated it. I think I didn’t have the Beta working correctly by installing it this way.

Yep. Okay, I couldn’t post for a bit. Yes, I’m working on a problem where I have four posts showing up in the buddypress areas. Everything was perfect until I made a post. Four posts show up, whether as an admin or a regular user.

I’m installing the current version of BP and I will test my new theme with this. I will post back shortly.

Thanks @flyveren

Can I post now?

Thanks @Chouf1 forsuch a  detailed response. Unfortunately WPMU is not an issue, I’m quite familiar with it and run it on alternative sites already. My current project is where my difficulties began.

WPMU with multiple sub-sites and mapped domains are all pre-configured and ready to roll. (Users can register, I can upload and post images etc etc)

BUDDYPRESS: The problem I have experienced over the past week has been Buddypress & bbPress is failing me.

What I’m therefore trying to achieve, or at least figure out  is exactly why….

Every time I step forward, from the point I’m at right now and install Buddypress with bbPress things fail! Problems I’m experiencing are as follows.

An inability to edit, spam, stick etc. Any ‘Sitewide Forum’ – (Group forums are fine)

E-mails do not get sent to subscribed users.

Site registration fails, email is sent but link with auth code in fails and no user is created.

What I’m trying to do here on my 6th complete new install is break things down step by step to see if its a process issue.

Theme is fully BP & bbP friendly, and all pages display excellently when BP/bbP is installed.

For the record I can also state that I use Buddypress on an alternate singular site with WP, no issues whatsoever.

This is my first BP WPMU Install and I can only say its been a complete nightmare, thus far. Hence why I asked the questions I have, trying to breakdown every aspect of my install, process of elimination.

Questions again –

Does one enable define ( ‘bp_enable_multiblog’ true ) prior to BP installation or directly afterward, or does it not matter.

Should one network enable BP & bbPress upon installation or not?

I have followed The Definitive Guide To BuddyPress & bbPress Configuration, over at http://labzip.com to the letter also, but on the last five occasions my WPMU BP bbP istall has failed, as described above.

Yes, savage troubleshooting headache…

P.S- Thanks for your Root Blog explination 🙂 Much appreciated.

Thank you, i’ve just changed the page names with lots of hope…but they are still in English 🙁
They look like sticky links. They actually look like the one we see now at the top left of this page: BuddyPress.org and My Sites. I don’t know their proper names but when i scroll down my page, they are always at top like floating. I’ve seen other BP sites and also same. They are always at top. How to translate them?

@chouf1 if I always display the admin bar for wordpress will that login to buddypress too? are they same thing?

You can download the beta from the blog link above, it’s pretty solid. No direct ETA as it depends on bugs found.
