Topic: Enabling default theme
I have succesfully installed wordpress-mu with buddy press, and I enabled the two buddy press themes in the site admin section. Now when I go to activate them under apperace–>themes they dont work, when I go to view site the site is just blank no error. Any Ideas?
Similar to the 1.1.x versions that could easily be upgraded in wordpress, why can’t the same be done with this? There are a handful of posts of users expressing woes with upgrading from the different 1.2 versions… but that could easily be solved if added to the WP plugin directory.
When a 1.2 version is updated, the users’ plugin dashboard will say to upgrade, it upgrades… simple as the earlier versions. Please consider this. Thank you.
Topic: PHP Fatal error RC2 -> RC3
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_dtheme_show_on_frontpage() in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/home.php on line 9
RC2 was fine. Just copied RC3 on top of it overwriting.
[wordpress2.9.1 + 1.2-rc3]
I’m also pretty new to WordPress and did not know the history that surrounded Premium plugins and the conflicts which occured in the past. I’m used to paying for plugins/3rd party extensions for software so I was kinda suprised by how the WP community sees this. I’m still not sure if it’s a good or a bad thing, but it’s one of the things that makes WP special.. I haven’t felt more at home then in the BP community so it says something about the general atmosphere around here
You don’t have to do anything.. Just install BuddyPress on a single WordPress install and all your users are contributors by default.. This means they can submit posts easily. You can make the process much easier by using a plugin like TD Midi Forms which allows your users to submit posts from the front end and even allow them to edit their own posts. A good tutorial:

Good luck
One of the things I would like to cover on the new BP-Tricks site, is how to do this.. Maybe with a videotutorial or atleast a few written tuts. This will be a matter of time, don’t forget how much is changing everyday for BP, there are only a handfull of people who have done this
This has all been extremely useful information and very informative. I would also like to thank those people that have taken the time to PM me with additional info (you know who you are)
I (probably naively) didn’t realise that this was such a hot topic of debate in the community – it’s interesting to get all this background information, especially as someone that until recently hadn’t released a wordpress plugin.
im having trouble getting facebook connect to work correctly with my current installation.
the plugin fails to register users and only redirects to the callback url that i setup in the facebook application.
I am running my site locally(localhost.localdomain) for the time being and evertyhing else works fine. im using wordpress 2.9.1 and buddypress 1.1.3.
I know the plugin is active and working to some extent because it shows the facebook connect button.
Any advice on what the issue is?
“and the themes are likely to have uncompatibilty issues. “
I can count on one hand the number of WordPress themes that don’t work right in MU. Most of them are fine.
BuddyPress themes are different.
The merge is done in trunk. Seriously, the work has been done already. People have announced this merge since last May-ish. We’re just about at feature freeze, so from here on out will be bug fixes only (plus some UI work on the MU menus).
While I think it;s quite possible to downgrade MU to single WP, the reverse isn’t true and it would be much better to wait until 3.0. You’ll upgrade as usual, and there will be instructions on how to turn off the network and go back to a single blog. (probably cuz I’ll write them…
)
Topic: Blog Post Activity Wiped
WordPress MU 2.9.1
BuddyPress 1.2 rc2
Default BP 1.2 theme + a few limited child themes.
I use TDO Mini Forms to provide a front end posting option. After upgrading to rc2 I have had a I found that after posting using a TDO form all Blog Posts were wiped from the Activity Directory.
Here is the scenario:
if I post via the TDO form it wipes all old blog post entries from the Activity Directory.
If I then post via the dashboard this post appears in the Activity Directory (but the old ones stay wiped).
I would like to figure out what is causing this, but that is secondary as I have just turned off TDO Mini Forms for now (although ideas are welcome).
What I would really like to figure out is how to get the old Blog Post entries displaying in the Activity Directory again. Can I prompt/refresh this somehow?
