BuddyPress.org

@jeffsayre I appreciate everyone’s help.

The same problem here. Any solution?

Hi! You should create pages in dashboard and name theme : Activity, Groups, Forums, Members, Register,.
Be sure You have PERMALIKS ON , theme folder include BuddypressTemplate Pack files and on editing page below title is right url (example: [ Permalink: http://natfriends.com/site/members/%5D )
Now i trying this at localhost. Is working (WordPress 3.1alpha BuddyPress 1.3-bleeding )

I really did not wanna create a new thread as my problem is very similar to this current thread.

The only issue I can’t wrap my head around is all I have is a plain vanilla WP 3.0 install. I got to the plugin page, searched for BuddyPress and installed it. All’s well till this point. The moment I activate the BP plugin, I lose the control panel. The default theme for WP 3.0 is the 2010 theme. Is there something else I’m missing?

For now, I moved the BP plugin outta the plugin dir; so got the control panel back. Any hints/thought?

Thanks.

This is not currently possible. Read the first post in the link on this thread: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/allow-for-multiple-buddypress-instances-on-one-wordpress-mu-install/

As far as your current BuddyPress install, it seems like you do have an issue. If you want to figure that out, please start a new thread focused on that topic as the topic of this thread is Multiple BP installs on one WP network.

I took it a little off topic to provide you with some help. I knew that you were having issues with bbPress and WordPress integration (as you have posted on several threads stating as much). So I was politely trying to provide a little help while asking to not turn this into a bbPress integration discussion. I should not have used the word “anymore” in the last sentence of my previous post.

Since your assertion was that bbPress does not integrate with BuddyPress, and whereas that is technically true, I knew that you really meant WordPress. Therefore, your assertion is not true. bbPress integrates with WordPress, it is just a tedious, difficult process.

Yes, this thread is about bbPress but it is also about SimplePress. I did not want it to turn into another “bbPress does not integrate” thread. Let’s compare bbPress and SimplePress integration with WordPress. In fact, I have changed the title of the post to better reflect the true subject.

@Jeff Sayre are you saying I am taking it off topic? I wrote one sentence about integrating bbpress and buddypress in a thread about integrating bbpress and buddypress.

@rogercoathup I just checked their forums some weeks ago or so to look over simplepress as an alternative and found this post. I have not tested this as I opted to go with global forums. Other BP related topics in their forums as well.

That is, of course, an option, but I’m moving a community over from a site that was in Movable Type and Elgg into a new WordPress / Buddypress system and users are obviously attached to having the same username they had before and that people already know them by.

Sorry, that is what I meant. I am using WordPress 3.0 with multisite activated. That is the exact code. I am running WordPress 3.0 and Buddypress 1.2.5. I have this code installed in my bp-custom.php file and it activates the avatars across the whole domain. Are you absolutely sure you have this all in the right place? Did you put wrapped around the code I provided?

Have you tried with all plugins disabled by BP? Are you using Current versions of plugins/BP/WordPress?

@alanchrishughes

I’m sorry that you are still having issues with deep integration of bbPress with WordPress. Many sites have an integrated bbPress install. In fact, @r-a-y has helped you extensively with the issue of bbPress integration into WordPress, pointing to many resources to help you accomplish that goal. If you are having trouble successfully performing a deep integration of bbPress with WordPress, then you should post on the bbPress or WP forums or ask for help on one of the blog articles to which Ray pointed you. (Have you searched for articles on bbPress and WordPress deep integration?)

By the way, with the exception of using bbPress for group forums within BuddyPress, bbPress and BuddyPress will never integrate site wide as BuddyPress is a plugin that sits on top of WordPress. What you are really talking about is integration of WP’s user tables with bbP’s user tables, so that they share their user data. BuddyPress does not store login information. BuddyPress does not authenticate users. Those functions are performed by WordPress. This site’s forums (BP.org) used to have an integrated bbPress install with WP. The forums were simply skinned to look like they were BuddyPress themed. But, they were a separate theme controlled by bbPress.

Let’s get this thread back on topic. I ask that you please refrain from taking this thread off topic anymore as it is impolite to the OP.

bbPress won’t integrate with Buddypress either.

if a site owner does not care about certain activity items at all – block em:

@bennadler – Thanks! But it is not WordPress MU – it is WordPress 3 as multisite (sub directories) – the code is not working.

I’ve not seen anyone integrate simple press into the activity stream, so you’ll probably have to do that up yourself.

Let me know how it works Buddypress… I have a WP 3.0 Multiuser install with Buddypress 1.2.5 and I wish to have a network like WordPress.com. I need a common admin bar for all the network sites, so the users coming from the other sites can access to the network services (groups, forums, activity, pm, etc..) of the main site. So I need a unique template for all the sites. To do that, I cannot use the BP-Twentyten template but I converted the Twentyten template, using the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin. So now I have a template I can use on Buddypress based main site and also on the slave sites. The only problem is that this new template needs the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin to work. Actually I’m working on a test install, I need for the production install a common template independent from the plugin, but I have no coding skills to make it working. Can you help me?

Ah, then you’re in the wrong forums. These forums are just for BuddyPress and it’s related issues (hence why it’s called buddypress.org, not wordpressthemes.org ). You should try contacting the Mensa theme owners/creators. Look in your style.css page for contact info. Good luck!
