BuddyPress.org

@DJPaul – I understand. However, having tested in dev installs to WP 3.0 RC2 and not getting the smooth experience I have on WPMU 2.9.2 with BP 1.2.4.1 and with all preferred BP plugins working; I can only recommend using WP 3.0 with BP 1.2.4.1 in test/dev installs and not in production/live installs.

There are 5 ways to test BuddyPress with WordPress 3.0 and I’ve tested four of those configs:
1) WP 3.0 single (new install) – “Page Not Found” for BP components. Preferred BP plugins not working as they have not been upgraded to work with WP 3.0.
2) WP 3.0 multisite subdomain (new install) – “Page Not Found” for BP components. Enable MULTIBLOG renders BP links in subsites to go to home page. preferred BP plugins not working as they have not been upgraded to work with WP 3.0
3) WP 3.0 multisite subdirectory – did not test – I’ve heard that this set up is working for some friends and per posting in WP.org forums
4) WPMU 2.9.2 subdirectory upgraded to WP 3.0 – same as #2 above
5) WPMU 2.9.2 subdomain upgraded to WP 3.0 – same as #2 above

Maybe I’ll try to test the 4 configs I have for WP RC3 and see what happens this weekend or next.

@prerna I recommend you a wordpress redirection plugin – it also counts redirects etc.

There is no real guideline apart from making sure your plugin is BP-aware.

You can check out how BP’s internal code is structured as well some of the most popular BP plugins.

A BP plugin is basically a WP plugin so you can also read up on WP’s general guidelines.

BuddyPress Codex

No, no.

BuddyPress 1.2.4 onwards should/is meant to work fine with WordPress 3.0. If it doesn’t, it’s a bug we need you to report at https://trac.buddypress.org/ so that we can fix it for the next build. BuddyPress 1.3 will require WordPress 3.0, and won’t work with any previous version of WordPress.

@blacktattoo – You could try the BP Usernames Only plugin if you want to replace the display name with the username:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-usernames-only/

If you want to add it to the activity content, you could apply a filter to “bp_get_activity_content”.

Here’s a good as place as any for BuddyPress developers. I’m closing this topic, as per our usual procedure, but if anyone’s interested, please contact @thatmtnman.

Go to your wordpress dashboard > settings > general and allow users to register – you’ll then see the registration link

you don’t want write on public for your root folder – the recommended permissions for htaccess file is 644 -rw-r–r– try just modyfying the permissions for the actual file .

this page of the WP codex is helpful if you haven’t already run across it.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions

I would give it a read as it sounds as though you may well have set slightly dangerous file/folder permissions now.

Editing a file without filename on windows systems is possible you just need to use a decent code/text editor, but definitely not notepad or the like, failing that you should be able to upload say htaccess.htaccess and simply rename it once uploaded to the remote server removing the filename.

Have you checked on wordpress.org to amend a game plugin?

I wrorte about an issue here
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/409388?replies=2
to clarify, the ajax chat box keeps popping up in group chat in new pages created by group extension plugins eg: links, albums etc
Group pages like activity or forums it stays out of the way unless called upon.

Any ideas?

@angelntini You’ll probably have to create the file if that folder’s not writeable. I use to have to do that. Just create a blank .htaccess file. Then, paste the code in. Or make it writeable so that it can be updated from within WordPress.

The standard WordPress .htaccess will be on the root directory of your website (once you enable pretty permalinks, at least).
