Important update:
I missed some folder name changes in a couple of the includes (damn wordpress repository and it’s fancy “being organised” behaviour!).
As such, please download the plugin again. Alternatively, you can edit bp-groupwiki-main.php and do a find+replace on the following:
FIND: ‘bp-groupwiki’
REPLACE: ‘buddypress-group-wiki’
This should solve the following errors you may have ran into:
1) No TinyMCE
2) No CSS for wiki page layout
3) Frontend page creation not working
Sorry for the hassle and thanks again to those that have provided feedback 
That’s right, Mike.
David Aubin’s port of BlueImp’s AJAX Chat to BP has group functionality:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-ajax-chat/
The original chat interface isn’t polished enough though and the actual port by Dave has its bugs.
I currently have a v1.2 “re-port” of BlueImp’s AJAX Chat working on my test server. It functions well, but outputs quite a few warnings and notices in the server log! If I can get it to a stable state without the warnings, I might release it.

If there’s a better, open-source chat plugin that supports multiple rooms, that would be another option!
Group Documents – Huzzah!
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/
Although, this thread seems a little redundant – isn’t this the purpose of the “compatible up to” field? Maybe what we really need is for the WP plugins search to have a version filter.
BuddyPress for Dummies is out or almost out. Also the WordPress Bible, Digging into WordPress and WordPress for Dummies.
Hi, I would like to buy a few books to help me get to grips with how wp/wp mu and bb all work and how to code apps and so on, basically be able to do anything wp related.
So, if I’m going to buy a bunch of books, what fields should I cover and if you have read any helpful books, let me know? (Like a book on php..)
I did come across the book, “**Blog Design Solutions”
link – http://www.friendsofed.com/book.html?isbn=9781590595817
Summary of contents:
* Chapter 1: The “Web Log”
* Chapter 2: Creating a Local Test Environment for Your Blog
* Chapter 3: Movable Type
* Chapter 4: ExpressionEngine
* Chapter 5: WordPress
* Chapter 6: Textpattern
* Chapter 7: Write Your Own Blog Engine
Its a FriendsofEd book, Ive worked through their essentials guide to Dreamweaver cs4 when I started web design a year ago and find its great to have something in front of you for a quick reference or explanation and I find it easier to learn like this, (this is for any one that’s going to argue that I could find everything online for free..)
Has any one read “Blog Design Solutions”, if not is there something else you would recommend?
Thanks and regards
**I’m not trying to advertise or anything, if its not appropriate, feel free to remove it.
This is the development version zip. It will always contain the latest trunk. Normally this is not recommended, but you guys seem to really want to play with it so ymmv.
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress-links.zip
yes, I have (copy/paste) : WordPress MU 2.9.1.1
im logged in as admin. im logged into the main account. the widgets on there are a text block which I added before and the sitewide posts which I added before.
Is there somewhere in the database where it somehow locks this?
Welcome Pack’s been updated to work with 1.2.
Link: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/
I forgot to comment that you’ll need to go back into the Welcome Pack config page (which nows lives under “Settings”) and re-enter all your details.
The WordPress plugins repository is primarily for WordPress plugins!
Maybe Andy can code something to check a plugin’s meta for some new parameters on buddypress.org/extend/plugins?
FYI, my oEmbed plugin for BP 1.2 is coming either today or tomorrow 
Thanks for starting this list. There’s another forum list of broken bp 1.2 plugins but I can’t find it now. It would be a nice feature if BP Plugins pages allowed for some sort of commenting or rating of ‘works with 1.2’, etc. I know wordpress.org offers this (and that’s where the plugins are actually hosted) but buddypress.org is typically more active with current information. Right or wrong most comments regarding buddypress plugins are found here.
I haven’t spent enough time with 1.2 to say with certainty what’s working. I can say the following are Not for me:
Group Blog
Group Forum Subscription
Welcome Pack
Invite Anyone
Whenever I try to add a link i get the following error message:
Please fill in all of the required fields.
As far as I can tell there is only one field. The link url. The other 2, Edit Avatar Options & Edit Advanced Settings have nothing in them.
I am running wordpress single user, BP 1.2 stable and BP Links dev. version.
You need to upgrade to WPMU 2.9.1.1 to use BP 1.2.
Also since you were using 1.0.3, I would have recommended upgrading to 1.1.3 first before upgrading to 1.2.
One other thing, you might also need the BP Backwards Compatibility plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-backwards-compatibility/
Arrowchat looks cool. Their screenshots advertise WordPress integration, so a BP integration should be quite simple.
Rather than having a fancy AJAX footer chat, I would much prefer a chat app that has some form of permissible group functionality.
I don’t really understand what you mean. You can create a static WordPress page and set that as the home page under “Settings > Reading”.
WordPress 2.8.4a and had BuddyPress 1.0.3 installed… We were having avatar issues with IE6 (crop tool wasn’t appearing)… I read that an upgrade would fix this as it uses JCrop in later versions… So I pressed the upgrade automatically to 1.2 and got the white screen… So I deleted the new buddypress files and directories and restored all my old buddypress files. Then only my header was appearing and I got an error message saying:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_login_bar()
So I figured my bp-core.php wasn’t being called, so I manually added this entry to my custom_functions.php file…
require_once(‘/var/www/html/blog1/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core.php’);
So all my pages work now except for my BuddyPress pages!!! Please Help!
Thanks,

Ok. So I’ve tried Comet Chat. Listen to me carefully..Do Not Buy. Horrible documentation, horrible support (or lack there of) and didn’t work properly with BuddyPress.
On the bright side. Here is what you need and should released with a week that will work with WordPress and I’m sure BuddyPress with little or no changes:
http://www.arrowchat.com
there’s also twitter, http://jobs.wordpress.net, the wp-pro mailing list and other job sites.
No problem. I would suggest mentioning the WPMU requirement on https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-wiki/ as well.
I have released our BuddyPress Group Wiki plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-wiki/
I’ve not had a chance to clean it up much so please consider it very much unstable at the moment.
For support I’ll try to keep an eye on this thread. If you want to test it without installing, try it out on http://namoo.co.uk. I also check that site regularly and am better able to monitor support requests/feature requests there.
This plugin is released under the GNU AGPL. Basically this means that you can use it for free and modify it however you like, as long as you provide those modifications for free to the WordPress community.
Ok. Sorry about that, it was obvious to me .
Where it says: “Ännu ingen aktivitet.” That is the same as “no activity yet”. That is where the activity should have been shown. It worked with this combination of Buddypress and WordPress MU in the start. Then something happened. I have tried to deactivate all plugins, but it still does not work…
Everything is standard settings…

I’m not sure when 1.2 final will be out. The revisions of the release candidates moved by quickly, so one can hope it would be soon?
If you’d like a BP 1.2.rc3+WPMU tester, drop a message.
Also is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-links/download/ the place to look to if there are revised betas coming out (say 0.4-beta for example)? Keep up the great work!
There is nothing protecting spammers from registering on testbp.org. I get some occasionally, but I nuke them with “mark as spam” as soon as they pop up. I found since with the new default theme spam has reduced significantly.
SI Captcha is a good spam prevention method. There really are a lot of options, but don’t search for “BuddyPress spam prevention”… this is not a BP issue, it’s a WordPress issue. You need to search for WordPress spam prevention instead.
Not only wpmu, wordpress Standard also has the spam registation problem.. especially with buddypress.
@m@rk I know SI captcha work with buddypress. I created a test installation and tried, its works there.. but when i tried in another shared hosting package of same server, it doesn’t. I dont know the reason. The image is not get displayed….
