BuddyPress.org

Just try it. As long as it is built using the correct WordPress hooks and does things in the right way, it will work with BuddyPress.

If it doesn’t work per mercime’s post, report it as a bug on https://trac.buddypress.org/ using your user login from this site please.

Memory requirements vary from server to server so we can’t declare a minimum requirement as it probably will be inaccurate. It’s probably worth mentioning that WordPress 3.0 itself gets very close to 32Mb on a typical server (there was a ticket in the wordpress trac).

Unless otherwise specified, BP will install in main site when you activate it. In order for BP to work in subsite, you have to add the following to your wp-config.php file
define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, $blog_id );

so if you want to install BP in site2, then do this
define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2 );

If I remember correctly, the “ranked” achievements (i.e. 1, 10, 100 posts) might have appeared three times, but it looks more like a bug. However, Achievements doesn’t work with anything more recent than BuddyPress 1.1.3(?) and some earlier version of WordPress, perhaps 2.8(?). I’m working on a new version.

@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.

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.
