That’s because there is nothing we can do to help you on this forum, there is no german version and since Buddypress is not related with Gravatar, we can’t help you further on this forum. Try sending their support an email: support@gravatar.com.

Edit: I know that the world is bigger then my appartment, my girlfriend lives about 50 km from my appartment and I’m planning on going to Japan soon. So keep your bad opinions for yourself next time.

Hi guys,

Thank you for the fixes posted here. I tried these and it still don’t work for my WPMU.

My site is at:

http://intercer.net/blogs/

When I click on Signup it goes to:

http://intercer.net/blogs/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://intercer.net/blogs/blogs/register

When you click on Register link at the bottom of this page or if I type directly http://intercer.net/blogs/register, it takes you to the same page.

I tried the fixes on this page and the ones indicated in:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/wp-signupphp-is-a-blank-page

No luck yet. Not sure what I am missing.

Trusktr — you mentioned to “make sure you copy over the functions in the “functions.php” file from the bp-sn-parent theme to the “functions.php” file in your own theme. Without these functions, some things won’t work like member and blog listings as well as sidebar customization when using the “home.php” template. “

I have these problems too. I put the redirect code in “functions.php” in bp-sn-parent themse (which is the theme that I use). What do you mean when you say to copy the functions into “your own theme”?

Thanks,

Lucian

Hi Jeff – key comment in this reply is the last line

So, if your source image is smaller than 150 on at least one of its dimensions, you could have issues with creating the large avatar. If it is smaller than 50 on at least one of its dimensions, you could have issues with creating the small and large avatar

So what happened to css basics?

e.g.

maximum-width; 150px

note the use of maximum-width as opposed to width – or is that not available in javascript ? (genuine query as I don’t know js coding at all) – also, note the dimensions I gave in reply to Xevo way back up the thread.

it may be that your server is running too old of a version of the GD image library

possible, though highly unlikely with this particular host – I’ll check with them though.

never use the auto-upgrade feature when upgrading WPMU or BuddyPress. It is simple and quick enough to manually upgrade them and it gives you more control and assurance that it is done right.

Side topic response, but – I’m 2,000 miles from the closest of my servers (Singapore) and 8,000 from the main one where the install is running a deadline, and 12,000 from the US hosts that I also use heavily. It is NEVER quick to manually download the package, extract it and upload it from here – assuming the locals can keep the electric on for more than an hour at a time, and the internet connected for two consecutive minutes – that’s why the auto-upgrader was such a godsend when it arrived in 2.5 Having said that, I’ve noticed some very consistent differences on it with UK and US hosts – both the auto upgrader and the plugins/theme direct download to site and upgrades, work flawlessly on US hosts and never ask for FTP login. On UK hosts, they all always ask for FTP user login from wp-admin, and greater than 50% of the time they fail to complete all expected on-screen steps. I’ve also noticed that UK hosts tend to override the timeout preventions built into WP, which US hosts do not do. ….. don’t get me started on the pricing differences either – LOL

Are you on a shared or dedicated server? Talk with your hosting firm to see if there is some javascript-based application that the hosting firm has running on your server that could be interfering with the basic JS operations in WPMU

It’s a shared server, but a reseller account – half way step between shared and VPS as in limited main accounts per server but with dedicated RAM per reseller account and so on.

The background js / mootools question is a good one that I’ll fire at them.

On the UK install, I’ve tried every possible config right down to the barest of bones – even to the point of deleting (not just deactivating) all plugins and themes and dropping all tables created by any plugins – still problems persisted.

It got to the point a couple of hours ago that I finally had enough and made liberal use of the Ctrl+A and Del keys

Pffzzzzzt – zap – gone – empty domain space. I’ll be nuking the database in a minute or two as well, then uploading from scratch and starting again in the morning (1:00am+ here now) after letting the dust in my head settle after spending the whole weekend scouring the WPMU and BP forums trying to resolve this.

I’ll also be starting with a WPMU install that has no periods in its directory and folder names – i.e. NO ” blogs.dir ” style of names – I am convinced that is a major source of some problems related to images, just as I am convinced that the user blog folder tree goes way to deep for Google search bots to follow it all the way to the bottom – and that’s gonna hurt SEO.

As I said up a bit, I’ve nuked the install (and the test installs) and will make a fresh start tomorrow … to mis-quote a famous movie line –

Have a look at https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-dont-see-old-wpmu-blogs-error-hasnt-created-any-public-blogs-yet

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

No, I don’t. I haven’t seen these plugins discussed with BuddyPress on this forum before, either.

You probably need to talk with the author to check if they are compatible with WPMU and BuddyPress.

Hi,

I’ve been searching across the forum and not found relevant topic or answer to my issue with contact form .Does anyone know why the contact forms are not working on bp default theme and how to fix it. Appreciate your help. thanks.

[hadar]

Last update, then I’ll stop.

I read Trac ticket 1184. I changed permissions, that didn’t help, the correct permissions/owner was already there. I saw another forum thread about incorrect avatars ending up in the directory.

I deleted all directories under blogs.dir (none had files in them, just directories). After attempting (unsuccessfully) to upload an avatar again, I end up with the following directory structure (all blanks, no files in any directory). So, it doesn’t appear to be a permission issue, since the directories get created just fine:

wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/1/

Now I’ll just wait…

[John James Jacoby]

Odd, because in order for the avatar to upload correctly, it needs to be created by being provided a group_id. Is your avatar uploaded and displayed correctly? Technically the group is created after the first step, and the subsequent steps only serve to fill in the settings and options.

[joafruit]

Hi there, thanks for engaging with my problem. After I go to the buddypress

Create New Group page, go through the process of putting in a group name, description, selecting options about group forum and comments etc, then upload an avatar, select users to invite and click Finsh… then I am redirected to the beginning of the process and if I go to the Groups page – there are still no groups created.

[John James Jacoby]

@carinallc

Disabling the admin bar doesn’t change any functionality of BuddyPress. If you have groups enabled, and your theme gives you a path to the create groups pages, then you can create groups. What you’re looking for is in the userbar.php and optionsbar.php files within the bp-sn-parent directory.

If you’re using a custom version of bp-default, click on your own profile, click on “Groups” and then “Create Group”

@joafruit

Do you have groups enabled? What error message(s) do you receive? What is stopping you exactly from creating a group?

[joafruit]

I have done several installations this morning – all with defaults set, with the same problem over and over again – I can’t create groups.

I installed in a subfolder with the blogs-create-in-subfolder setting at installation. Besides that everything is up to date and set to default. Really really frustrating.

Any idea why I can’t create groups? I can create them as admin or an ordinary user.

[Xevo]

I now have re-installed wpmu, buddypress and bbpress (all newest versions). But it still won’t work. I also used buddypress Forum Setup.

See the site here: http://xevodesign.nl/talkmore/

The only 3 differences between this setup and the one I did on my localhost (which worked), are that I installed on my localhost, I used my localhost root and the wpmu version.

Edit: Never mind, got it working, used the bbpress-integration plugin. Strangely enough I didnt have to use this before on my localhost.

[carinallc]

Ok, WordPress has the ability sometimes to make me feel really stupid.

By disabling the admin bar, you lose the ability to create groups. Doh.

Another change it would have been nice to have noted somewhere, and another reason why I’d pay good money (REALLY GOOD MONEY) for a technical deep-dive reference book on BuddyPress

But, because the admin bar doesn’t fit the asthetics of the site we’re building, I need to find the code that makes up My Account, My Blogs, Notifications and Visit and make them part of our new header so that functionality stays intact.

Thanks for your help DJPaul! Would you know offhand where I might find that code?

[carinallc]

I’ve created a custom theme off of the BP Default 1.1.1 I made modifications to the CSS file for colors, and removed the admin bar by adding a line to bp-core.php

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

What theme are you using?

[carinallc]

Thanks DJPaul – did I miss this in the documents somewhere? And, any idea why I don’t have this as a direct link/url anywhere? I’m assuming it’s not meant that users type in this url in order to create a group?

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

And, which host are you on?

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

carinallc, this thread was about how to create a forum (the answer is to create a group, and it comes WITH a forum).

To create a group, just log in to your site and go to the “Groups” tab on the menu and select “Create a group.” If you have trouble doing this, create a new thread.

Hi DJPaul

I am having the same issue: new install, can’t find any menu option to create a Group. Under Site Admin, there’s just a “No Groups Found”

[John James Jacoby]

What you’re experiencing is either a PHP version issue, or an out of memory issue. Happens a lot with 1and1 hosting packages.

Search the forums (or Google) and you should find a solution somewhere, although it might be almost a year or so old at this point…

[John James Jacoby]

I’m going to comb through the kses for the forum posts and see if there’s a way to lighten them up soon. At the moment everything is wrapped up pretty tight to avoid any security issues.

[andisites]

Accidentally fixed this myself by deleting the bb-config.php file out of the root and reconfiguring the Forums Component. I think since the first time around I had to make the bb-config.php myself (it couldn’t auto-create it), there were invisible extra characters I couldn’t see that were mucking up the works.

Yay!
