Use https://codex.wordpress.org/WPMU_Functions/get_blogs_of_user to get the blogs of the user, then count the posts on every blog, add them all together and you’ll see wether a user has any posts or not.
If you want that, then you’ll need wordpressMU.
Hmm. No, I don’t think that ought to break anything (capitals in email). I know you can’t really test, but if it was capital letters in the username or email address, you’d have the same problem on a regular WordPress install.
Thanks, r-a-y! I definitely want there to be a blog that’s exclusively the main site’s, and then for community members to have their own “journals” so to speak (similar to the way that Tasty Kitchen – tastykitchen.com – allows users to post recipes within their own “recipe boxes”). I’m guessing that’s more like them having their own individual blogs? I’m sorry for the lack of knowledge; this world is all new to me!
I’m sure this is a simple fix, but it’s driving me nuts. I installed Buddypress and the template pack. I changed all the divs so the buddypress pages match the theme. Everything seems to be working fine except that the home page and buddypress pages are 100% width. If I navigate to a page like the about page it’s the original width of the theme. Can someone tell me what could be causing this or what file might be overriding the themes style.css. I’m using the latest version of buddypress and wordpress. The theme I’m using is mystique found here. http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/mystique
It depends if you want your users to have individual blogs (like WordPress.com).
If not, stick with standard WP and give your new users a role of Contributor or higher so they can post on your WP site.
I’m new to WordPress and BuddyPress and am building a community site that will allow users to post articles/journal entries, compile a list of saved/favorite articles from other users, form groups, etc. I’m assuming that users having the ability to post articles is essentially the same as giving each user his/her own blog. Though I know BuddyPress can run on standard WordPress, would I need WordPress MU to provide that functionality? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
You can manually add video sites if you know a little code:

My plan is to create a new plugin that will offer support for more 3rd party sites.
I might make Youku one of them; though you can sway me over with a donation

Good to hear that yall applied for GSoC. It’d be good for yall to get paid for all of your hard work. Perhaps if yall sent a PM to Andy, JJJ, and Marshall they might put in a good word for yall with the WordPress crew that’ll be choosing the projects.

This is a brand-new installation. Was I supposed to install bbpress separately?
I uploaded Buddypress 1.2.3 and then clicked on >Forums Setup and followed it through. It says that it is installed properly. A forum appears to be there, however I cannot add a new topic (well, I type it and it disappears when I hit publish. I do have enabled the forum in the ‘General Settings’ so it isn’t that.
Thank you in advance for your help.
I’m sure I’ve missed a step. Thank you in advance.
No, this does not make a difference. Is there any other way to tell WordPress where to upload (anywhere in the Buddypress configuration?
Hi
I am very new to wordpress and buddypress and I installed this mod and I have the following question
When you create a group and get to the Send Invites part (4) the box under “Select members from the directory: ” is empty even though I have many friends – is this correct ?
If not shouldn’t it display my friends and if so how do I fix this?
Thanks

I have done no core customizations or touched the Buddypress files in any way. I installed WordPress, I installed the Buddypress plugin and then chose a compatible theme (which as you can see I customized. I then installed Wishlist Member.
I realized that I couldn’t upload an avatar of myself and then checked with my host that my configuration was compatible.
Is that everything you need to know?

Again, all your errors refer to WordPress code.
Disable BuddyPress, switch to the default theme. If ALL of the standard WordPress functionality works, and an error comes back when you use BuddyPress, that’s because BuddyPress isn’t yet guaranteed to be fully compatible with WP 3. If you get an error with BuddyPress disabled, then it’s a WordPress error and you need to visit the wordpress.org forums.

For group-related stuff (including forums), check out the Group Activity Stream Subscription plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-activity-stream-subscription/
For latest posts, there is no specific BP plugin, but perhaps you can find a WP plugin that does the job?

Hello everyone,
I would like an automatic notification sent to all registered users whenever there is any activity on forums and latest posts on the blog. Is there a Plugin or any setting through which I can achieve this.
I have installed Buddypress 1.2.3 and WordPress single user 2.9.2
Please advise.
thanks

If you’re using WordPress (not MU), then ensure you have selected custom permalink settings.
