Those are general multisite questions.

“- Where is the code? Is it replicated, or pulled from a single location?”

One codebase. pulled from one spot.

“- Should I be worried about the load?”

by just turning on multisite? no.

“Can I keep it from loading on select sites?”
that admin bar? yes.

“- Can my messing about with BuddyPress somehow affect my other sites?”

depends. edit the files directly and whitescreen something and maybe it will show up everywhere. generally, no.

you read my blog now, right? http://wpmututorials.com

I’m not 100% sure which plugin you mean I assume the WPMU DEV Membership Lite one? If so there is probably going to be a better method of knowing more by going to the wordpress.org forums and creating a post. You may also find your questions answered here: https://wordpress.org/tags/membership?forum_id=10

hey just FYI, this solved my problem and is horribly obvious lol – goto settings -> general -> enable “anyone can register”

Sorry, that is not enough to create a theme which you will need to run WordPress/BuddyPress. You can choose from among the free themes in the WP repo at https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/

If you have any trouble with WP installation or themes, please post your questions at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

thanks Paul, I had to write that these are two separate questions.
First one is still opened.

SPAM ? What should be a profit to sending you on buddydev.com pages ?
when You are in the title speaking about > Adding Posts to a BuddyPress Group
AND in content:
“Over the last few months I have had several clients requesting POST integration into the buddpress group structure. If anyone has BP experience customizing these aspects, your feedback would be GREATLY appreciated.”
AND in other place you say:
“Creating and editing posts on the front-end for members of a group, especially attempting to integrate the pop-up media manager can be very challenging.”

AND I am responding you :
Take a look here because Brajesh is working now on http://buddydev.com/forums/topic/plugin-for-frontend-posting#post-9118 plugin because of adding this to his another very interesting plugin ..http://buddydev.com/plugins/blog-categories-for-groups/ plugin , which when finished will enable front-end creating posts for members of a group.

Sorry that I didn’t read and respond your other questions which I am not expert at all . Maybe I really don’t understand what do you exactly want.

@pinhit

You’re not going to get told off again but I’m afraid you are asking coding questions, questions about how to adapt and modify a site and that requires a little coding knowledge, not everything is plugin based – although a lot is.

Sorry pcwriter but don’t link to W3Schools it’s not that great a site and we forbade it’s mention on csscreator years ago One of the best resources for frontend coding is htmldog

@T3Kaos yes, I saw your response and asked some questions there.

Sorry to see this thread. Here are two resources that might help you install BP and troubleshoot blank pages:

Blank pages:
https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/blank-pages/

Installation
http://www.technologyquestions.com/2011/06/22/how-to-install-buddypress-without-pain/

@dennissmolek memory limits can be overcome in the wp-config file, too. I’m not sure what happens to wp-settings during an upgrade of WP. Is the wp-settings file potentially overwritten?

@sbrajesh tbh when I read “into their home page” I imagined the OP might actually be using your plugin for re-direct but the post is unclear and needs clarification. It’s vital to try and get across to people how to perform basic troubleshooting so that they can come prepared in advance with the kind of detail that’s needed to help out.

First rule of thumb is to disable plugins and return to default theme if the issue goes away then you know it’s either a custom theme or plugin issue then when the actual item has been identified questions can be addressed directly to the author or of course brought here.

No we must establish what’s happening first, before throwing another plugin at an issue, masking the symptoms and never curing the disease. The OP’s question is not clear and raises questions about what is occurring and must be explained in greater detail.

You can read a full tutorial about it here:

For anyone else looking for getting an if statement to work, I got to work. This is from member-loop.

Here is the same for the member-header.

Hi @johnjamesjacoby

we are kind of new to all this… How to start? I will check out the latest version via svn. That’s fine. But how to check in? Commit? Push?
Should I add the complete theme as .zip file on a ticket? I guess the size will be too big.
I would like to write this patch, I’d like to start with some easy job to slowly go into all this. So the sidebar bug is an easy startup.

@dennissmolek, i guess we can keep it update save (backwards compatible) by asking if the sidebar is already active
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_active_sidebar

Some more newbee questions:
Where do I add my other subjects? The sidebar was just one example of a long list we would like to discuss and write patches for.

Should we open a ticket for every idea we’d like to change?

Sorry, if some of the questions are already answered in other forum threads.
Maybe it would be a good idea, to write a guide to become an active part on the project.
Thanks for all, we are excited to start

well, In that case, some more questions will help.
1. how do you create a buddypress page? from wordpress admin? from theme, have you added a new component as I don’t see other way to add a page in buddypress
2. Is the page opened using wordpress/is coming inside wordpress (seems to me iT is not )
3. Or is the page independent of wordpress, you are loading that page(php) directly inside the browser ?

Rather than simply bumping and waiting for someone why don’t you try a generally accepted tech forum approach of actually explaining what you are trying to do in a code sense with examples of what you have tried to date that has or hasn’t worked, this way you are more likely to get a response from developers if they can see your working, your approach and suggest ways of achieving what you want to do. Your post simply lacks any detail and begs a whole heap of questions before anyone could begin to help.

I would also suggest you start over as few are likely to look past this many ‘bumps’

Not necessarily an easy fix with so little info to go on. Default is to show the adminbar all the time so setting ‘yes’ to hide it for logged out users isn’t going to change things for logged in users.

Usual questions must be asked now: Are you running a custom theme? If so then can you revert to bp-default and see how that performs.

Quickest solution would be to join Buddydev and implement the ‘Global Forum’ plugin – http://buddydev.com/plugins/global-forums/

You can see it in use on Bravesh’s own forum – http://buddydev.com/forums/

I personally prefer forums which link to groups, since this avoids duplication of topics. The other half-way solution would be to use ‘buddypress-group-forum-extras’, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-forum-extras/ – which would enable you to set up a group for each general forum type (i.e. support questions, introduce yourself, general chat), then pin these to remain permanently at the top of the ‘Forum Index’.
