BuddyPress.org

Sorry for such a noobish question but I want to host a few PDF’s on my site.

When I’m uploading them to my server, wheich directory do they go in?
I’m getting them on the server but when I try to link to them I’m getting 404 errors so they musn’t be in the right place.
Any ideas or is there a decent pdf plugin for wordpress/ buddypress?

I was searching the forums to find out how to get syndicated posts (rss feeds from the feedwordpress plugin) to open in a new window. They are all external links and I would prefer to keep my users on the site.

I found this interesting snippet and wondered if someone could help me to apply it to the standard BuddyPress theme?

The example it gives is for a WordPress theme from Atahalpa.

In that theme you need to go to /wp-content/themes/atahualpa345/functions and open bfa_post_parts.

Around line 53 you will find (ignore the hash marks):

# if( !is_single() AND !is_page() ) { ?>
# <a href="” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to “><?php
# }
#

You must replace it with:

# if( !is_single() AND !is_page() ) { ?>
# <a href="” rel=”bookmark” target=”_blank” title=”Permanent Link to <?
# php the_title(); ?>”><?php
# }
#

Apparently the magic ingredient is:

# target=”_blank”

The author claims that on that theme all syndicated posts will open in a new window when clicked on the headline. All other posts will still open in the same window.

Question is, how can I make it work in BuddyPress?

Hello I am using wordpress/buddypress for my website http://www.financetrain.com

I want to create a new page which is accessible only to the registered members. How can this be done?

Please help.

We have a WPMU install with Buddypress and a range of custom plug-ins.

WordPress – MU 2.9.2.
BuddyPress – Version 1.1.3

Production environment:

PHP – PHP Version 5.2.6-3ubuntu4.5
Apache – Apache/2.2.11
MySQL – mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.75

Dev environment:
UBUNTU 2.6.31-14-server #48-Ubuntu
MySQL mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.37
PHP Version 5.2.10
Apache/2.2.12 (Ubuntu)

We have a legacy user table which we have developed a data migration script to port user information from this legacy table into the WordPress and Buddypress tables. The script populates – wp_users, wp_usermeta and wp_bb_xprofile_data.

The problem we are experiencing seems specific to the environment of our live production system – UBUNTU – LAMP install as it is not reproducible on staging / dev environments – theses are different versions of UBUNTU and MYSQL.

The issue appears when the number of users in the database exceeds 3000+ :

1 – the performance of the dashboard area = specific to posts and pages areas is terrible.
2 – More worrying the ability to edit post content i.e. the visual editor tool bar disappears leaving us without the ability to update posts.
3 – The buddypress top menu disappears or takes an age to load

I have tried investigating whether this is specific to a plug-in on the site with limited success – disabling plug-ins does help but the performance issue still remains. I have also spent time turning on or off specific plug-ins or a small number – the performance issue still remains; the editing facility appears randomly. I am not convinced it’s a plug-in issue this issue doesn’t reproduce on our dev environment for example.

The wp_usermeta table has 16,000 rows
The wp_bb_xprofile_data table has around 18,000 rows

I am not sure this is relevant however.

Any help or advice would be appreciated for where to investigate or if someone has experienced this problem and was able to resolve it.

Hello all,

I’m having problems trying to get the buddypress to work properly on my “Less Is Less 1.4 by Miguel Santirso” theme. Whenever I click on the menu it brings me to a blank error page. (Menu as in the buddypress buttons.)

I’ve installed the buddypress plug-in along with the buddypress template pack to correct the maligning that occurs.

It then prompts me to: “You should update your .htaccess now.” along with, “By default WordPress uses web URLs which have question marks and lots of numbers in them, however WordPress offers you the ability to create a custom URL structure for your permalinks and archives. This can improve the aesthetics, usability, and forward-compatibility of your links. A number of tags are available, and here are some examples to get you started.”

At the bottom it also states: “If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.”

Then I’m suppose to paste:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /organic/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /organic/index.php [L]

So I created the .htaccess file, pasted the script above in there and uploaded it to my sever.

Once uploaded, my entire site doesn’t work and goes to a white error page.

My question is, what exactly is it that I change in the permalink settings when it asks me to do so?

Thanks in advance.
