You can try setting the memory limit via wp-config.php first:

If that doesn’t work, then do what techguy says.

Your problem with locate_template could be your leading slash.

Try without and see what happens:
locate_template( array( 'library/components/buddypress/buddypress-postloop.php'), true)

locate_template() is a WordPress function, so any bug with it would be a WordPress issue.

The issue at GoDaddy shared hosting is that only so much memory is allocated to WordPress or WP/BP. On shared hosting, you aren’t going to get the performance you would on dedicated for VPS. I experienced incredibly slow load times with just WP, never mind BP on GoDaddy. I would move to a WordPress friendly host, like MediaTemple, who’s Grid Service offers up to 100 MB of php memory. You’ll need more php memory than 1and1 or GoDaddy offers in their shared packages to run BuddyPress. I’m already crapping out with Memory errors on 1and1, who won’t allot more php memory on a shared account. I’m assuming the same for GoDaddy. I’ve now moved 5 clients off GoDaddy with WordPress sites due to slow load times. They claim you should use WP-SuperCache to serve cached pages, but even then, the first time any user loads a cached page, it takes 3 to 5 seconds. From page to page to page, you’re crawling. I may be incorrect in saying that every user would experience that issue, but it could be accurate too.

Hi James,

Just set your front page as “Your latest posts”:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_SubPanel

See if that works for you.

Do you have WordPress Single-User or Multi-User installed?

I did this and my base wordpress installed blog added to the blog directory and become a blog by everyone who have registered. How can I remove the main site in the directory and how can I not make this as everyones blog

Hi modemlooper, I tried what you said. Actually in my theme it was exactly like you stated. However, after editing in wordpress theme editor, nothing changes…. what can be the problem?

This currently isn’t possible.

Such a feature has been mentioned before and is on a list of requested features, so hopefully something will materialize in the next few months.

I would check in the BP plugin repository: https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/

Is this plugin what you’re looking for? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-real-names/

And this plugin does the exact opposite: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-usernames-only/

Howdy. I’m experiencing the same problem. Not only group creation is involved. After not being able to continue to the select group avatar step whilst creating a group. I go back to the groups page index and the group is there. However if I try to create a topic I get the error: “There was an error when creating the topic”.
Though I only have one group created, the group count says 4!.
Regarding the discussion capabilities for groups I have installed bbpress through the built in installer in buddy press. bb-config.php looks okay. All the involved directories have the right permissions.

I deleted all the files from the server, dropped the db, re-installed from ground without any additional plugins and it still produces the same error.

I wonder if any of the developers can give us a hint on what to check.

Regards!

Martin

PS: I’m running WordPress 3.0, Buddypress 1.2.5.2.

BuddyPress 1.2.5x hasn’t really been built with the WordPress 3.0 menu system in mind. I know we’ve got some page title bugs on a WordPress network/WPMU install which I hope to get time to fix in a couple of weeks so this might clear up then.
