BuddyPress.org

Hello everybody,

I’m having some issues while using buddypress
My BP version is: Version 1.2.3 I know its old but we changed some stuff on the core so I cannot update this anymore…

I had one site called for example: http://www.mybuddy.com
And with the new feature of wordpress 3.0.4 I enable the feature for multisite insite my site

So I got this
fr-ca.mybuddy.com
for french site and
en-us.mybuddy.com
for English american website
And off course my main site http://www.mybuddy.com

Everything is running fine and clear no problems were found… until I tried to access members page
Usually I do http://www.mybuddy.com/members and I go to members list without any problems or errors
But when I try to fr-ca.mybuddy.com/members I get the error page:
Error 404 – Page not Found
The page you were looking for could not be found.

Same for en-us subsite

What I need to do to make this work??? remembering that all 3 websites are related to the same theme nothing has changed.
I only changed the translation and the content for it
Users are all avalible to all subdomains and main site.

What I need to do?

By any change anyone had this problem before??

I tried to create one template that include(“members/index.php”);
But when I do this I get this error: No Results Found

Like if there is no users at all… and there is more than 10 mil users on this site…

Thanks,
Thiago

It’s not that difficult to change words when you know how. I’ll step you through it.

This is what localized text looks like in BuddyPress theme files _e( ‘Home’, ‘buddypress’ ). This allows BuddyPress to be translated into any language just by adding a file. You can also change the names of Groups to something else that better suits your network. Maybe you want teams instead.

What is this localized text?

The first part ‘Home” is the word or string that can be translated or changed. The second part ‘buddypress’ is used to say I want anything with this attached to use this language. WordPress scans through and everywhere ‘buddypress’ is it will swap out the first part with your word from a .mo file.

You need Poedit

http://www.poedit.net/download.php

Download, install and open.
Then you click file and choose – New catalog from pot file.
Search for the buddypress.pot file. You can find it in the buddypress plugin folder inside bp-languages. This file has all the text that can be localized or changed that is located within the BuddyPress default theme. Poedit allows you to scroll through all the text and then change it.

Make all your changes by scrolling through list of strings and then adding yours below. When your done hit save. Save your file to something like buddypress-mychanges.po. Poedit will create another file with a .mo extension. This .mo file is actually the file that WordPress will read. It’s a better and faster file that computers can drill through. That way when you load a page the translation is instantaneous.

Finally you upload the files, buddypress-mychanges.po and buddypress-mychanges.mo to the same folder as buddypress.pot was that you first opened.

Ok, now we need to tell BuddyPress to use your custom language file. If you do not have a file called bp-custom.php in your wp-content/plugins folder then add one and then add the following code to it:

<?php
if ( file_exists( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/buddypress//bp-languages/buddypress-mychanges.mo' ) ) {

load_textdomain( 'buddypress', WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/buddypress//bp-languages/buddypress-mychanges.mo' );
}
?>


Test your site, you should now see changes. You can easily change future text by opening the buddypress-mychanges.po file and hitting save again. Each time you save it will create a new .mo file that WordPress will read.
