I just havin a problem during the automatic upgrade and have this:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_activity_install() (previously declared in /home/thbru/public_html/demo/blogs/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity.php:27) in /home/thbru/public_html/demo/blogs/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity.php on line 101
What can I do ? 
Can someone please provide me a step by step guide as to what needs to be accomplished to make the FB-Connect plugin work. I would like instructions from both sides: facebooks panel and wordpress/buddypress panels.

Using WordPress MU 2.7.1, BuddyPress 1.0.1 with Facebuddy Theme newly downloaded yesterday.
If I set the Buddypress default home theme and member theme, and try to register as a new user, I get the register page as I should.
If I use the Facebuddy home and member theme, “register” redirects to “wp-login”. Attempting to navigate directly to “http://my.site.com/register” gives me the home page (same as going straight to “http://my.site.com”). If I navigate directly to “http://my.site.com/wp-signup”, I get the WPMU signup page.
I have site admin settings set to allow new registrations but not blogs. I have tried changing it to allow registrations and blogs together and that made no difference. I have copied the “register.php” from the default theme to the facebuddy theme, to no avail. I have compared “functions.php” and found discrepancies (two missing includes in the new theme, which I fixed), no effect. I have compared index.php line for line and found no differences. At this point, I am stuck because I don’t know enough about how the code works to know what to check for differences. It is obvious that there is a discrepancy between the BuddyPress default theme and the new FaceBuddy theme. If someone will give me guidance where to look I am confident I can run this bug down. I just don’t know how the code is structured and fear breaking something doing it by “brute force”.
All guidance appreciated.

Hi
I had the same problem with uploading images in a new registration, i solved them out changing the permissions to 777 in wordpress-mu/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/ and turning SAFEMODE OFF.
Now, a new user can registrate and upload a photo. But… the new problem is that the uploaded photo does´nt show, a broken image is shown, in the directory wordpress-mu/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/2/ are the images but doesn’t show on my buddypress.
When i login and delete my avatar, the default avatar is shown. When i retry to upload my photo the error appears again.
Here is my url http://cororegatas.com.ar/wordpress-mu/members
what I might need to do?
My apologies for my pour english.
I`m looking forward to your reply.

I have just upgrade to wordpress mu Version 2.7.1 and buddy press 1.0.1 and when I try to upload an avatar it goes through the motions but when it is time to post the avatar it just shows a gray box. Do you have any suggestions?
UPDATE: there is only the youtube widget plug and the buddy press plug in stalled.
UPDATE: Tuesday; June 9, 2009: when I went back and click the delete button it showed up my avatar. How does that happen?

@Burt Adsit, When you finish with the project place in wordpress.org !

This is truly beyond the scope of the BuddyPress forums. But, since I had some issues when I attemtpted to install WPMU on MAMP several months ago, I feel your pain.
I wrote an article (months ago) for installation of WPMU on MAMP (not MAMP Pro). But, I’m not yet finished with updating my new website, so it is not yet posted.
Here is the crux of the article. I’ve never tried this with XAMPP, so use at your own risk:
- Make sure you have the most recent, stable version of WPMU and that it is copied into MAMP where you want it to be.
- Read the readme.txt file that comes with WPMU
- Do not manually edit either of these two files:
- wp-config-sample.php file
- htaccess.dist file
Unlike single version WordPress, the WPMU installer will take care of creating the proper files using these two as templates. If you need to make changes to either of these files, do so after the installation has succeeded.
- WPMU wants to run on Apache port 80. Since OS X comes with a copy of Apache set to run on port 80, you will have issues if OS X is automatically configured to start its own copy of Apache on boot. If so, you’ll have to change that. Check to make sure that the Web Sharing checkbox is unchecked in System Preferences > Sharing
- Now fire up your browser and go to localhost:80/index.php and follow the prompts. The path will be different if you’ve installed WPMU in a subdirectory. If so, just add the subdirectory to the url.
- In the field for Server Address, you will see the recommendation to use localhost.localdomain instead of localhost. That did not work for me. Instead, I found that I had to use the internal IP address of my computer (a.k.a the local IP address which is always 127.0.0.1 ). I tried the localhost.localdomain address several different times with no success. If you have already tried this, make sure that you delete the wp-config.php file and start all over.
- If you’ve done this properly, you should now be seeing a friendly “Installation Finished!” screen. Follow the instructions. Write down your password.
- Now, manually enter the address for the admin login screen into your browser’s address bar. If you just hit log in, you may have issues. So, if you are using 127.0.0.1 as the Server Address, you would enter in the browser 127.0.0.1/wp-login.php. The path will be different if you’ve installed WPMU in a subdirectory.
Good luck!. Let me know if this works for you.
I’m having a similar problem. On the activation screen I get a javascript error: “v1Cropper is undefined.” I haven’t changed the buddypress theme, but I have a custom wordpress theme installed and renamed its folder to “default” to force new blogs to use the customized theme. I saved the original default theme in a backup folder. Is it possible I need some file(s) from the original default wordpress theme? I’m using wordpress 2.7.1 and buddypress 1.0.
I upgraded to 1.0.1 today (by admin panel).
later i made a new private group, and added a friend to it.
We now have both a notification in the bar (it says [1], sometimes [2] ),
when i mouse over it, it says: ‘ 2 New membership requests for the group “” ‘(notice that no group is filled between the “….
Sins this issue i got in the “site wide activaty widge”t just 1 activity, the rest won’t show up (only on widget)
I’m using latest wordpress. have even removed all buddypress files and put it back again.
Also got the language problem ->http://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3085
I run Askimet with BP without any issues
Better to ask the forums at http://en.forums.wordpress.com/
Hi BP n00b here but not a wordpress n00b. I am trying to get this to work as well with bp_core_get_userlink() as well. When I submit the_author_id() as an argument I get the author ID returned as the output of the function instead of the proper profile link. If I submit the author id as a simple string (in this case 6) I get the proper link returned? What am I missing here?
so for the sake of clarity code that looks like this <?php echo bp_core_get_userlink(the_author_id()); ?> returns 6 and code that looks like this <?php echo bp_core_get_userlink(6); ?> returns the correct link to profile page.
I don’t get it. Any help would be much appreciated
hi
Login to your wordpress Mu as admin.
then go to SiteAdmin->Options
Find the field “Allow new registrations” ,and select the option ” Enabled. Blogs and user accounts can be created.” and click update options.
Now logout and try registering.
I hope it should work.
I mean to use
define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, $table_prefix.’my_users’);
define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, $table_prefix.’my_usermeta’);
to alter the database to use the IPB usertables….

First off, if you suspect or actually know that a given plugin is causing issues, you should contact the plugin developer and ask them. They may be aware of the issue and already have a new version in the works, or they may not be aware of any issues and thankful for the report.
Second, concerning an official listing of BuddyPress plugins, you can either find them here or search the WordPress plugin repository for the tag word “BuddyPress”. On the repository page for a given plugin, it will tell you on which versions of WPMU and BuddyPress the plugin has been tested.
Finally, as far as a listing of plugin conflicts, I do not know of any. You can search the forums here and find various threads indicating potential conflicts. But, since all the plugins are developed by 3rd-party sources, it is up to the users to figure such things out–with the help of forums such as this, of course!
hello Joe
As far as overwriting the template tags are concerned,That is not allowed.You can only overwrite pluggable functions(In case of wordpress/buddypress).
As far as I see, the bp_login_bar() is a normal function(template tag), you may have a look at the code in buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php,so you can not overwrite it.
Yes, if you want a customize the look of the form/output generated by it, you can use a work around.
Copy the code for bp_login_bar and put it inside a new function say bp_custom_login_bar() inside your theme’s functions.php,now you may modify the code inside the bp_custom_login_bar() to make it look as you want.
The only extra work you will have to do is, you will have to replace all the calls of bp_login_bar tag in your template by bp_custom_login_bar.
Hope it helps.
If I misinterpreted your question,please clarify.

Welcome to BuddyPress!
Just so that you know the process around here, please read this thread.
In general, it is not effective to post a new support question in a thread that is marked as resolved. Furthermore, it is not effective to post a support question in a thread that has not had any activity for a month or longer. This thread fits both criteria.
So, I’ll provide some direction here, but if you are still having issues after reading this, then just start a new thread and we will see what we can do!
Possible solutions:
1. Make sure in “Path” that you have set the directory in which WPMU is installed.
2. Regarding the “/%postname%/” permalink structure, read this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Using_only_.25postname.25

Hello,
I am trying to have BuddyPress work with my wordpress-mu installation on my LOCAL machine. I have been able to activate the BP plugin and even the BP theme.
I can even see the BP theme actually showing up on the browser but none of the links work. For e.g the menu’s “Blog”, “Members” etc do not work and give a 404 error. This is the actually the link that gets generated.
http://localhost.localdomain/wordpress-mu/groups
Could somebody suggest how to resolve this?
Regards,
Roland
Found out that Yahoo uses a Linux platform on Apache servers with the mod rewrite turned off (and they won’t turn it on…probably because the same reason they don’t allow a .htaccess file). I’ve discovered that others had the same issue with Yahoo using WordPress. They switched host and their problem went away. I’ll just have to do the same.
Thanks for all the help. I don’t see anyway out of this unless I switch providers.
I would like to overwrite the bp_login_bar template tag. But I am a noob to wordpress plugins/tags. I could just rewrite it there but for easier upgrades is there a place to overwrite that like is themes/mytheme/functions.php a good place for it? And do I use add_filter or add_action or something else?
Jeff, thanks for the response. You confirmed what I originally thought about the pretty permalinks and the .htaccess file.
Here’s some more information:
When I first got involved with WordPress (WP2.7), I had my installation set to use pretty permalinks, and it worked great. I eventually went back to using the default settings because I heard pretty permalink structures presented performance issues. When I recently installed WPMU, I left the permalink structure set to default for the same reason. Then, when I installed BP, I noticed that it used pretty permalinks. I got nothing but 404 errors, so I assumed that pretty permalinks had to be set in WPMU for MU and BP to work together. Setting MU to pretty permalinks didn’t work….still got the 404 errors.
Maybe I missed something somewhere in the installation of MU, but does pretty permalinks need to be set to something other than the default before installing BP, or does that even matter? If it doesn’t matter, then I’m back to square one and completely at a loss as to why this isn’t working for me.
I’ll attempt to find out what server platform yahoo uses. From experience, I can tell you that even if they did have the mod re-write turned off, they wouldn’t turn it on for silly old me.
(I’m still confused….you said that MU doesn’t need a .htaccess file to work, but your last sentence states that if I continued to have issues, then I should switch to a host that does allow .htaccess files. Sounds to me like MU does need a .htaccess file for the same reason you stated stated…for the permalink rewrite rules. Suppose I’ll just need to switch hosts. Lesson learned…don’t use yahoo for anything…they aren’t too cooperative.)
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/social-media-page/
This wordpress plugin does what it says, list social media profiles.
I think this kind of function could be useful for communities like buddypress, and wonder if any coders can convert it into bp plugin (making it possible to edit the settings on the frontend).
Michael-
Since BuddyPress is a plugin for WordPress Mu, all that it requires is for WordPress Mu to be functioning properly. If WPMU does not find a .htaccess file in the directory in which it is installed, it will try to create one automatically.
Now, does WPMU require a .htaccess file? No. Why? Because people have successfully installed and run large WPMU-based sites on LightTPD and Nginx. These webservers do not support .htaccess files.
What WPMU uses the .htaccess file for (in an Apache or IIS environment) is to set rewrite rules for permalinks. In LightTPD and Nginx, this is accomplished through the webserver’s configuration file.
So, the question is this: What web server platform does Yahoo! Hosting use?
If their webservers are running Apache, then find out if mod_rewrite is turned off. A .htaccess file is basically useless without mod_write. This may be why they say that you can’t use a .htaccess file.
Here’s some information that might help: https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Using_.22Pretty.22_permalinks
If you continue to have issues with this, I would switch to a host that allows you to use the WPMU .htaccess file.
Oh one more thing! I think my issue before was that I was using a newer version of bbpress on my install. I didn’t realize that until I went back through The Easy Button’s integration instructions:
http://theeasybutton.com/blog/2009/04/30/integrating-buddypress-10-wpmu-and-bbpress/
This time around I used the bbpress he linked to directly and it was the old green interface. The one I used on the last screwy installation was a newer one with an interface much more like the current WordPress version. So that’s something else folks might want to try if they’re having trouble (going back down to an earlier BBPress install.)
Working site is here: http://www.openadoptionsupport.com
I was able to import users and groups very easily via PHPMyAdmin so I didn’t really lose anything with the clean reinstallation.
