As far as your second, question, I don’t think that is currently possible. Perhaps someone else knows otherwise.

[Jeff Sayre]

Concerning your answers In this thread.

Did you install WPMU as a directory or subdomain install? subdomains

Did you follow the detailed instructions in the WPMU’s readme.txt file about subdomain installs (listed under the heading DNS).

Did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU? If so, from which version? Yes,I upgraded wpmu when I upgraded bp to 1.0 (not sure what previous version of WPMU was)

This could be an issue. You need to follow a specific WPMU upgrade path. If you do not, you can have all sorts of issues. See these links:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WPMU

https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended

Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? 3 plugin widgets of my own that display posts from the database

…AND…

Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? customised themes

To help you figure out what is going on, you need to distill your install down to the lowest common denominator. This means stripping out all extra stuff and focusing on the barebones environment.

So, you need to deactivate ALL plugins except BuddyPress. You need to use the default themes that come with BuddyPress. If the problems go away, then it is related to your custom theme and/or one of more of your plugins.

Here are a few more questions:

1. Which hosting firm are you using?
2. Did you manually install WPMU + BuddyPress or use a one-button installer?
3. There have been a few changes over time to WPMU’s wp-config.php file. If you simply used an older file this could also cause problems. Always verify that the config file you are using is up to date by comapring it to the config file that comes with each, newly downloaded WPMU install package. Did you use the wp-config.php file that came with WPMU 2.7.1?

Hi ougian,

Have you followed instructions given on following link?

https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/installation-readme.txt

I think you have missed following line at the end of bb-config.php file

$bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;

[Arturo]

johnvill on your forum u don’t have the buddybar but only the search/login bar… and this is my, jfcarter and the other users problem…

[Greg]

Thanks Andy. So I need to figure out whether having the logout accessible from everywhere is important enough to incur the overhead of loading WP in bbPress.

The BuddyPress forum seems pretty responsive, but I’m on a shared server.

Great work on BP. Amazing what you’re empowering people to do with their sites.

[3067400]

to Jfcarter

we have the same problem – but i think after reading the post replies here and trying to analyze everything i realized and was able to bring what you MIGHT like to see in your forum section ..

use the bb default template in folder bb-templates

kakumei

bb-config.php

put code below

require_once( $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’] . ‘/wp-load.php’ );

in the header.php that you mentioned include the get_header

this is how buddypress template files using bphome in your wp-content/themes

instead of using <?php wp_head() ?> use the one below

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”search-login-bar”>

<?php bp_search_form() ?>

<?php bp_login_bar() ?>

<div class=”clear”></div>

</div>

it works for me but i have to edit more on the templates

I’m not getting the error with my firebug looking at that page but the ajax is just spinning for me, too.

(I’m having a similar problem — different error and ajax doesn’t even spin.)

It sounds like you’re having an issue that other people have had. Does any of this look like it might relate to what’s going on for you?

I hope Andy can extend or modify the plugin and build it to the core saves time !

What about help from this guru @ Dallasclark

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=367&page=3

[John James Jacoby]

Arturo, in order to make it work correctly with current versions of BP/WP/WPMU you might need to add an undocumented variable to your wp-config.php file. Some people have needed to, others have not.

define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1);

This isn’t a magic fix, but if you’ve tried EVERYTHING and are banging your head against a cookie wall, try this.

[deanes02]

I have resolved this issue. The members search did not work because members are not included in the search unless they have at least one piece of profile info filled out.

I had an issue with the “Edit Profile” page (https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2991) which had this knock on effect tot he member search.

Thanks for your reply!

As Nicola states, we need more information. Please look at this post:

1. How many times have you reinstalled WPMU + BuddyPress?

– once (one reinstallation)

2. Did you use the same MySQL DB each time or did you start with a brand new, fresh DB?

-yes the same, but cleared out before reinstallation

3. You mention in point 2 of your most recent post that you’re basically making a custom theme. You changed the code in leave-group-confirm.php. In my mind, changing any code in the default themes means you’re making a custom theme.

– by deleting this <?php bp_group_leave_confirm_link() ?> I only was experimenting what the cause to these errors might be. (deleted part of the code, tested what would happen and then put the deleted part back…)

I am using the default themes you mentioned. I read that the most of these errors have something to do with custom themes, so I’m not using my own theme until these errors/problems are fixed.

My web host said DB is ok, working fine and the error must be in the BP code that generates the pages… In my 2nd post I said “He also said that some variable that has that table’s name is missing… Or something like that.”

That was when I was having forum problems (couldn’t post a new post or reply) and before the reinstallation.

Like I mentioned before, I’m not very familiar with php and MySQL but know some.

So what can I do to help to resolve these problems/errors? This is on the other hand quite annoying, but at the same time I find it fascinating

[chriscarter]

An example can be found on John James Jacoby’s killer site, http://delsolownersclub.com/

[Kunal17]

Hey Chris,

I also want this option. Which site did you see it on?

[David Mazza]

A lot of people have requested it already, and they refuse to release it. The most recent thread was here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2769

I have been working on a very simplified layout for my member theme that is similar to buddypress.org

I might release it if I finish it. At the very least I will release sort of a skeleton theme for this layout.

Welcome to the BuddyPress forums. Here are some resources that should answer your questions?

Sugarmindy-

A couple of thoughts / questions:

1. How many times have you reinstalled WPMU + BuddyPress?

2. Did you use the same MySQL DB each time or did you start with a brand new, fresh DB?

3. You mention in point 2 of your most recent post that you’re basically making a custom theme. You changed the code in leave-group-confirm.php. In my mind, changing any code in the default themes means you’re making a custom theme.

So that we can distill this issue down to the lowest common denominator, please select the default BuddyPress themes (bphome and bpmember). If you do not have unaltered versions of these default themes, get them and install them in the proper place. This way, we can rule out theme issues as a source of your problem.

[Jeff Sayre]

Of course, Manoj is correct. I should not attempt to answer forum questions when I’m dog tired and about to hit my head on the keyboard. I read the thread’s title, not the post, and just thought, “Apache redirect option chosen when setting up domain at hosting company.”

Next time, sleep, then answer!

[Moominmama]

Nope, removing whitespace doesn’t help.

Other issues that I’ve caught include the ABC line above members/groups not working.

And I can no longer post to the forum (I could when I first installed this).

(sigh)

I read through the long “Add Friend Not Adding” thread here:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1315

since my problems seem similar but didn’t gain any insight.

I’m hesitant to do another clean install ‘cuz I’m not sure how to do it without losing my members who are creeping back after I accidentally trashed our old WordPress site (not in the same place — this is a totally new installation).

[2731640]

Whee finally! Thank you!

So let’s get started again.

1. Which version of WPMU are you running?

– WPMU 2.7.1

2. Did you install WPMU as a directory or subdomain install?

– directory

3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?

– root

4. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU? If so, from which version?

– no

5. Was WPMU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress?

– yes

6. Which version of BuddyPress are you running?

– 1.0

7. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated?

– no, not yet.

8. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes?

– I have my own but also have same problems with default theme (BuddyPress Default Member Theme (1.0))

9. If running bbPress, which version?

– Version 1.0-alpha-6

10. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files

– at the moment error log seems to be empty…

And then my current problems:

I solved the #1 “I can’t post a new topic or reply to the forums anymore.” by re-installing everything. Forums work fine now, except:

1) I still can’t invite friends to the groups (they are my friends and aren’t joined the group). I get a messages: Select Friends No friends to invite and Send Invites -button.

2) I still can’t leave a group. I noticed some weird problems on that page… This page (leave a group) doesn’t have a wp-admin-bar and footer at all! Other pages have. I only get messages: “Confirm Leave Group” and “Are you sure you want to leave this group?” but there’s no options “Yes, I’d like to leave this group.” and “No, I’ll stay!”.

When logged in and on the Groups Directory/Groups Listing page, it is no problem to leave a group, but when I try to leave a group on group’s own page (e.g. http://domain.com/groups/testgroup ) by clicking the Leave Group -button, I get problem #3 from my 1st post.

I noticed differences when comparing html codes BP generates:

comparing testbp.org’s html source and mine that in header I have different code on line 11:

Mine is: <link rel='stylesheet' href='http://domain.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-blogs/css/widget-blogs.css?ver=2.7.1' type='text/css' media='' />

and testbp.org’s is:

<link rel='stylesheet' href='http://testbp.org/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/css/widget-activity.css?ver=2.7.1' type='text/css' media='' />

Meaning that instead of bp-activity I have bp-blogs… so is this a problem? I’m still wondering why my code is different from testbp.org’s.

When I deleted <?php bp_group_leave_confirm_link() ?> on leave-group-confirm.php file (lines 27 and 28) this way the leave group page displays right but links Yes, I’d like to leave this group and and No, I’ll stay! don’t work (of course they don’t work).

3) “new” problem is editing profile: when I try to edit profile (Profile > Edit profile) I get a red error message: That group does not exist.

4) 2nd new problem: When I go to Friends > My friends > Alphabetically again an error or actually info box “Your friends list is currently empty”. I have friends and they are on the lists when I choose “Newest” and “Recently Active”

I’m sorry but my English isn’t that good, so it’s more than possible that I write some weird and confusing words, sentences

But I really do appreciate your help

And Peterpan77 – I have to agree with DJPaul, please, don’t shout…

PS: I have to try this one to my problem #3 https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2991

Just find it

[Arturo]

i’ve resolved the problem with wpmu 2.7.1 + bp 1.0 + bbpress 0.9.0.4 + deep integration

i’ve followed the 3d plus i’ve installed THIS plugin, works great and now i can login in bbpress use the wp/bp theme and access in bb-admin.

**NOTE**: i’ve used the 0.9.0.4 to have a bbpress forum like this site and NOT to use it for groups etc or with the component bp-forums.

Hi Jeff, Thanks a lot. I do not know whether you will be reading this again

I already read those pages in details and tried all the possible things and got NO reply.

I said this above in the link

which is here https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2988

I would have been happy if things worked that way and I requested something in the above link. Going by template files is cumbersome but problem is certain words can’t be changed at template level, so I was seeking an way out.
