Unfortunately, 1&1 is full of crap. It’s not a trick, and it does work. Your third option is to find a better host.
Are you on the ‘Dual Perfect’ but only with 30meg?
My only experience has been with 30 meg which often, these days, isn’t enough to run wordpress on with not too many plugins…. I would have thought 60 would be just about enough…. – but maybe someone with more experience in that area could answer….
I have just talked to 1&1. They told me that the memory tricks don’t work and that I am not allowed to do that. And if I want to solve that problem I can change to a better product with more memory, the new and more expensive ones have 60 and 90MB.
The thing is that I have no clue how much memory I need… I want to install buddypress and create some profiles. The web is going to be a city guide for Madrid with reviews and photos.
Do you know if 60 MB or 90MB is enough?? Any other hosting supporting WordPress, MySQL databases, more memory and a reasobale price?
Thanks
They state in their uk faq (which i hope is now out of date) that none of the memory tricks will work…
What I would like to know is if this is also a problem with their new packages, not just with their old accounts….
Thank you aces, I’ll talk to them anyway and shout a little. 
increased memory in the wp-config.php, I included this line at the beginning of the php
`define (‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’);`
also tried with 500MB and nothing happens…the errors still occur. 
(
1and1 is notorious for their memory issues – you need to talk to them.
I have had a problem with them in the UK but their new uk packages are supposed to come with 90 meg and this is supposed to apply to their older (equivalent) uk packages but tech support told me today that there is a glitch that they’re looking into.
It’s winding me up seeing that 1and1 appear to have increased the memory limit to 90 meg available (I can see it set – by them – within wordpress) but it isn’t working yet….
I don’t know if that applies to the spanish 1and1 though….
EDIT: I’ve just had a look at http://1and1.es and it’s their uk equivalent ‘dual’ hosting service i’m refering to
my host is 1&1, I got the pack with 2 domains and 5 databases
Sounds like you’ve tried the right thing (https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP). Try allocating more than 64Mb, or ask your host for help.
For example at the top of the twentyten theme’s style.css is the following line:
`Tags: custom-menu, sticky-post, microformats, rtl-language-support, translation-ready`
If you change it to:
`Tags: buddypress, custom-menu, sticky-post, microformats, rtl-language-support, translation-ready`
then that warning will go away.
However that warning is to tell you that the theme isn’t buddypress compatible so it needs to be converted/updated.
This can be done by following the guide in the buddypress codex: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
Some themes, such as Suffusion, have their own conversion pack, so it would be worth checking to see if one is available first.
Heads up: the combined plugin in underway, and will actually be a very powerful plugin where users can vote/rate/like ANYTHING in wordpress and buddypress. I’m developing this for another client, who is paying for the core functionality to vote on images, and they don’t need all the fancy stuff that usually comes in a plugin, such as nice admin options, translation, hooks, filters, etc. They also don’t need to vote groups, forum posts, blog posts, custom post types, blog comments, activity items, etc. With donations I’m also going to write scripts to convert old plugin data to the new plugin, same with group reviews plugin.
If people in the community would like these things, then please make a donation so i can do the extra work and release it properly to the community as an excellent, flexible, extensible, strong plugin. If not donations come it, it will just be for rating images using BP Albums. Even small donations count, so don’t be shy. Paypal donations to deryk@bluemandala.com. I will include all donors in the plugin read me, so please mention any website you’d like me to link to.
To be clear, this plugin is happening 100%, it is already being built. All donations go to the things the community needs that the client does not, as mentioned above. So don’t worry about making a donation and it not being released. 
And as a perk, I’ll email early versions to anyone who makes a donation. (if any of this is getting unethical from an open source standpoint, please let me know!)
If you need some spanish translation, you can count on me.
Hey folks,
There’s a new version of BuddyPress Multilingual:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-multilingual/
It works with the current version of BuddyPress and WordPress, in single site and multi-site environments.
While you’re testing it, check out the new activity-stream translation. There’s a video for it here:
BuddyPress Multilingual 1.0.1
@James
I don’t realy know what is your problem. What i can s&y is that my DB has the following settings
language: french
DB caracters table: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
DB settings utf8_general_ci
If you need to use octals to translate some javascript messages, use them in your xx_XX.po file or create another xx-XX..po to translate your specific messages.
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/translations/
What you said here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-localization-issues/ let me think you have troubles because you use 3 different languages.
I would recommand you to test first with one language. When this works correctly, try separatly with the others.
After that it would be probably better for you to use a multilingual plugin like WPML and buddypress multilingual.
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-multilingual/
It’s also important for you to check all the js files, because most of them are not localized. You can do this manually from within a child theme.
Normally your visitors has nothing to do with updates. And they have nothing to care about octals.
Glad you got it!
Although you didn’t hook it into the activity filter yet.
as I remember it was something in the function class:
`function filter_gettext($translation, $text`
I adapted it a little, to display a link to the category the post is in (assuming one category, and category slug of ‘category’) :
`class PJW_Translation_Mangler {
function filter_gettext($translation, $text, $domain) {
global $post;
$category = get_the_category($post->ID);
$cat_slug = $category[0]->slug;
$category = $category[0]->cat_name;
$translations = &get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
if ( $text == ‘%s wrote a new blog post: %s’ ) {
return $translations->translate( ‘%s wrote a new post: %s, in ‘.$category.’‘);
}
return $translation;
}
}
add_filter(‘gettext’, array(‘PJW_Translation_Mangler’, ‘filter_gettext’), 10, 4);`
Hello to all.
Finally greek translation is still shared? If yes, where can we find it?
Thanks
For this text string, you can use Westi’s method at http://blog.ftwr.co.uk/archives/2010/01/02/mangling-strings-for-fun-and-profit/
You can add the following code in your theme’s functions.php
`<?php
/* http://blog.ftwr.co.uk/archives/2010/01/02/mangling-strings-for-fun-and-profit/ */
class PJW_Translation_Mangler {
function filter_gettext($translation, $text, $domain) {
$translations = &get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
if ( $text == ‘%s wrote a new blog post: %s’ ) {
return $translations->translate( ‘%s wrote: %s’ );
}
return $translation;
}
}
add_filter(‘gettext’, array(‘PJW_Translation_Mangler’, ‘filter_gettext’), 10, 4);
?>

@Chouf1 thx, but I am not sure I understand. It seems like the po file I am using is using strings from another version of BP – although I picked the most recent offered on the BP website supposed to work with 1.2.8. I tried to use the po file for Danish at i18n trac, but it seems it has the same issues.
you can download some version of translation on the buddypress i18n trac:
https://i18n.trac.buddypress.org/browser
or on the buddypress trac:
https://trac.buddypress.org/browser?order=name#tags
there are only 3 strings diffs between 1.2.7 and 1.2.8 pot, so it’s not very important at this time if you miss something
If you want to work with pot files, you have to pick in the tagged version, not in the trunk (except for your private tests of course)
Looks like it’s using strings from the currently-in-development BP 1.3
Ping @boonebgorges.
