There’s a donate link to my paypal on the right-hand side of this page https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/

If you don’t know what you’re doing, ask your ISP for help:

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Please try again.

Whereas if you’re just using IE it could be a security feature of that browser, I’m guessing this is a nonce security issue. If you get the same message when using Firefox, then that would be a good indication.

This is sometimes caused when logging in and out of your site. For example, if you have two windows opened and have already logged out in one window, you’ll get that message when you try to log out of the second.

Hope that helps…

On a side note, Manoj just released an image album plugin for bp! https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bppicture-album/ how about that.

Something like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-password-register/ ?

There’s a plugin for WordPress to do this already, and there will be a language switcher plugin that is BuddyPress safe soon.

This has been done similarly in various forum software. Wouldn’t be too hard to adapt to fit WordPress/BuddyPress.

I say do it.

James-

At this time, BuddyPress only works with WordPress Multiuser (WPMU) version 2.7.1. You will have to install it yourself, which is really the only way that it should be done. It is never wise to use a one-button install service to install complex software platforms.

Now, whether your hosting plan will be of sufficient horsepower to successfully run WPMU is a different issue. For this issue you can search the WPMU forums.

In your site-wide.css(side wide) or custom.css(home) in your wordpress themes theme.

custom.css (line 83)

#header {

background: none;

padding:0 25px 20px;

position: relative;

}

custom.css (line 87)

#header ul#nav {

float:right;

margin:-63px -5px 0 0;

}

custom.css (line 91)

#header ul#nav li {

float:left;

margin:-20px 0 0 18px;

}

Hope that helps, I had the same problem there is some style inconsistencies between the bphome and bpmembers styles.

You can use any WordPress theme for the home theme.

But, to have success integrating it with BP, you’ll need to copy the functions.php in /bphome/ to your new home theme’s functions.php file. Also, there are certain code elements in the header.php file of the /bphome/ theme that you’ll need to add to your own home theme.

You may then also want to design a custom member theme that takes the look and feel of your home theme.

installed via simplescript at bluehost

This may be your issue. You really should not be installing complex software platforms like WPMU by using third-party installers. You should manually install WPMU paying careful, close attention to the readme.txt file that comes with it.

Also, search the forums for “BlueHost” to see the issue other users have when using simplescripts. Here’s one to get you started.

the redirection plugin (checked that already), avatar plugin, wordpress.com stats, akismet, statpressCN, Sociable, Author Avatars List, google analytics

To isolate WPMU and BuddyPress issues, you need to deactivate all plugins. This means that BuddyPress should be the only plugin running period. If your site issues go away, then you activate one plugin at a time, testing with each reactivation, until you get the problem again.

not aware of any relevant errors

The question asks for a listing of any errors in your server’s log files, it does not ask for you to decide whether or not they are relevant.

When providing a listing of errors, you do not need to copy into the thread the entire contents of each error file. A single error can be repeated many times. We just need a single instance of each, unique error. More times than not that is sufficient. If we need more info, we may ask to see the entire contents.

For those that want to use this solution with a theme like ‘default’ or ‘classic’, I think this is enough to get you going. For me, I find it a bit discontinuous to start from the buddypress theme home page and then bounce into the ‘classic’ theme of some individual user, and still think about it all as being the same site. I completely respect that that is a legitimate model & approach. It’s just not what I have in mind for my particular implementation.

Unfortunately, it’s not quite enough to just make the facebuddy theme default for all users. The ‘thing’ I want to ‘resolve’ is that for any user’s new blog, wordpress basically gives that user their own buddypress front page, that the user then needs to configure with their own widgets and stuff through the wordpress admin.

For my needs, I would like to make something that is more turnkey for new users, such that they only have to register & create the blog & start posting. I don’t want them to have to think about layout. I may offer them the option, but I want their blog home page to look polished off the bat. Furthermore, this ideal default setup would have a unified feel with the entire site so that as you went from user blog to user blog, a visitor feels like all the content look & feel is homogenous across all blogs in the wpressMU install.

Another way to put this idea is … when you go to the user’s specific blog page, there should more emphasis on the fact that it is a user of the main site discussing on some specific site topic, within the context of the site branding, etc …. rather than making the distinction that you are visiting someone else’s blog. Like a newspaper … only the by-line and the article content vary.

I have some ideas on ways I can approach this. If anyone else is interested in this, I’d be happy to share ideas and collaborate on knocking out a solution. Maybe someone has already solved this problem, but if they haven’t, I imagine it could be useful to a few other folks as well.

BuddyPress is just Awesome!

Trying to accomplish the same objective, I found this article: https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/1463

After following the setup directions, when I created a new user, created a blog, created a post, and then went to view the post, it appeared in the expected theme. As the user, I *did not* need to go to set the theme myself.

Towards the end of the thread, there is the following
