What socialpreneur said.
Your error message usually means you are trying to run BuddyPress on regular WordPress, not WordPress MU. Are you sure you have installed WPMU? Where did you download it from?

I am using the latest release of buddypress and wordpress MU and I got a error at the recent site wide activity widget – the information is updated, posted but not written. I mean the row for the update appears but it’s empty. My site is http://www.jurnaldelectura.ro . Can you help me?
beta Version: 1.9.4 – Supports BuddyPress 1.0.3 and 1.1
Same download URL:

Testers?
I think I figured it out.
Anybody with BudyPress 1.1 want to test the registration CAPTCHA for me?
beta Version: 1.9.3
Same download URL:
http://www.642weather.com/weather/scripts/si-captcha-for-wordpress1.9-beta.zip
Since there’s no admin panel in the integrated bbPress, you’d be best to try to port those bbPress plugins into a WordPress one, and add any BuddyPress specific features to it.
Thanks for testing.
Did you install in plugins or mu-plugins?
Did you activate the plugin?
What version does it say it is?
9 hours ago I uploaded beta Version: 1.9.2
Same download URL:

It had a fix for changing settings on WPMU forced activation installs.
Make sure the plugin is newest version or it may contain wpmu related bugs.

Most such wordpress plugins work with wpmu. The best thing is to build a test site, install each plugin that you are interested, and test it.
Hey wordpressfan, understand that BuddyPress runs on top of WordPress MU so any spam issues are still, at its core, a WPMU issue.
The WPMU readme.txt has some info on how to counter spammers:
https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/README.txt (read line 165 and on)
For the Darcy Norman link, use WPMUTutorials’ variation for BuddyPress:
http://wpmututorials.com/how-to/spam-blogs-and-buddypress/

Also, for your suggestion on moderating signups, WPMUTutorials also has an article on that:
http://wpmututorials.com/hacks/how-to-moderate-signups/
Read the last comment in that post for info on modifying the article’s instructions for BuddyPress.

The beta version has support for BP as well.
Hope that helps in some way!
Please help me beta test the next version of SI CAPTCHA
I have tested it in WP – WPMU – BuddyPress and it works for me.
Your testing can help me to be sure..
Here are the changes in this BETA release:
= 1.9 BETA =
– (24 Sep 2009) – Added full WPMU and BuddyPress compatibility. WPMU and BuddyPress users can now protect comment form, registration, and login from spam.
– Added login form CAPTCHA. The Login form captcha is not enabled by default because it might be annoying to users. Only enable it if you are having spam problems related to bots automatically logging in.
– New feature: An “advanced options” section to the options page. Some people wanted to change the text labels for the CAPTCHA and code input field.
These advanced options fields can be filled in to override the standard included text labels.
– Added new advanced options for editing inline CSS style of captcha image, audio image, and reload image.
– Minor code cleanup.

Hi JJJ,
are you still working on this ?
Where to find “BuddyPress/WordPress theme repo” ?
Thanks a lot !
Hi guys
As a continuation on from my last post about setting up an advertising site, is there any way to set the user profiles as a normal wordpress page without comments (or set the users blog as a page) ?
Also I want to make certain categories or groups (available on the sidebar) that users can put themselves into when they register.
cheers
Cheers for checking it out. I apologise for my bad description. I am new to Buddypress, and just testing it out at the moment. I just assumed that this was how it worked, much like sub-pages in vanilla wordpress.
You could add them via the wordpress admin, but you’ll still need to go back and edit their xprofile display name for them to be “visible” inside BuddyPress.
Yes it’s possible but it will take some integrating with existing WordPress plugins to make it so. Best place to start with BP specific code is the codex; http://codex.buddypress.org
I’m trying to add a little to it everyday if I find the time, so it should keep getting more and more documented with code snippits and examples.
@wordpressfan, yes go ahead and copy the files over from the parent theme into your child theme, and modify from there. Anything in your child theme will override the files from the parent.
As long as your theme calls the standard WordPress hooks – like BuddyPress’ does – any add plugin that works on WPMU should work.
As per a previous post about Group Creation stopping at step 3 ( http://buddypress.org/forums/topic/group-creation-stops-at-step-3#post-18362 ). I’ve updated my installation of BuddyPress to 1.1-rc and wordpress mu to 2.8.4a
I still receive the error “Please complete all previous steps first.”
Anyone have a good direction to point me in?
I’m looking to replicate the profile pages either here or WordPress.org.
Maybe I am the only one who never saw this; but there is an excellent debugging tool for PHP : FirePHP ! (exists in a WP plugin version).
I didn’t know that such a wonderful thing could exists; and maybe this could help you…
So; all you need is to install FirePHP for WordPress and then; instead of testing your codes withs print_r(); echo();die(),exit()…
You could just use FirePHP to send vars to the Firebug console !
examples :
<?php
FB::log('Log message');
FB::info('Info message');
FB::warn('Warn message');
FB::error('Error message');
?>
in the console :

WONNNDERFUL !
Hi, I am making my popular wordpress plugin “SI CAPTCHA” compatible with WPMU and BuddyPress.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/
Some have requested an optional login CAPTCHA. I have it working on the BP login page, but not in the bp_login_bar. Is there an action hook for that or a way I can add the captcha form field to the bp_login_bar from my plugin?
Thanks for any help.
Also is anybody interested in testing the 1.9 version of SI CAPTCHA on BP before I release it?
I am a bit confused about 1 thing. Do I create a child theme with the theme buddypress installs with or create a parent theme to make child themes from in the future. I am looking to change colors, layout (collumns) bg image and things like that. Something I read made it sound like any wordpress theme can be the parent, is this correct? I am assuming that using a standard wordpress theme would require adding code from the default theme. Is this correct? I just want to make sure I am understanding this before I try to jump in and work because in the begining I don’t think I was. Thank you,
Greg
There are two sets of files you need to work with… One for the home page and main blog and another for the member/group/admin pages.
The home theme is found here: /wordpress-mu/wp-content/themes/bphome
The member theme is here: /wordpress-mu/wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember
If you don’t have a member theme in the above location, upload it there. The bpmember base.css is similar and you will have to make most of your CSS tweaks to both. v1.1 uses only one theme for both. More info:https://buddypress.org/blog/news/the-new-buddypress-theme-architecture/
First of all, since you are installing a premium, 3rd-party DB sharding tool, you need to contact the people at WPMU DEV Premium and ask them for support. It seems like all was fine with your standard WPMU + BP install until you switched to using their multi-db plugin.
Secondly, in case you are not aware, there is a free sharding tool–HyperDB. In fact, this site (BP.org) is using it. Also, there is a great two-part article on how to use HyperDB written by Trent Adams, one of the moderators on this and other WP product forums.

WordPress blog since 2006, bbPress forum added in 2008, and now a BuddyPress community. To start with we’re only using extended profiles and private messaging, but will layer in additional features over time.
Very grateful for the powerful platform that Andy and team have created, and for the great support offered by Burt, JJJ, Jeff and all the others on the forum. And of course, _ck_ and others over at the bbPress forum.
