has anyone move the create post and manage post administration into the buddypress theme rather than the traditional wordpress back-end?
Were you using the same version of WordPress MU when you were testing with Beta 1?
was not trying to be rude, sorry if it came off that way. This script was used with the Beta 1 of BP without issue, so whatever changed in the Beta 2 that is related is what I need to find a workaround for. Just asking for some guidance/assistance. The script is textbook php so it works fine from that respect…. I have 2 databases in mySQL, 1 that is for the WordPressMU and Buddypress, and another that I created separately for another part of my site….the second database is the one the script is calling.
Any thoughts?

function oci_login_redirect($redirect_to, $set_for, $user){
$redirect_to = bp_core_get_userurl($user->ID);
return $redirect_to;
}
add_filter(‘login_redirect’, ‘oci_login_redirect’, 10, 3);
How do I redirect to the user’s new blog versus their profile?
Thx
Okay so i followed the instructions here https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3173&replies=3#post-19388 .. here’s what I did..
# chown nobody -R blogs.dir
# chgrp nobody -R blogs.dir
# find blogs.dir -type f -print -exec chmod 644 {} ;
# find blogs.dir -type d -print -exec chmod 755 {} ;
but it still doesn’t seem to work… any idea what to do?
blogs.dir and some other folders will probably need to be chown’d to the user and group that runs the webserver. Apache2 by default (I think) uses the nobody user account, so I’m assuming that’s what your host uses.
Whilst 777 will let everything access it, from a security perspective, you should really go for 755 permissions and check that the owner/group of the files is the same as that of the webserver.
BTW if you’d have tested uploading an avatar on a plain WordPress MU install, you’d have had exactly the same problem. This isn’t buddypress.
Hi,
I am trying to make the bbpress front page to look like my buddypress page so it looks a bit more integrated, and I can add a tab “forums” to the main navigation which will bring me from wordpress mu font page to bbpress front page.
For this, I need to display the buddypress admin bar on top of the bbpress front page. Is this a possibility? Do I need to load the entire wordpress header? (is this even possible from a sub directory?)
Thanks for your help

I tried deleting blogs but everything went horribly wrong and I had to reinstall wordpress mu. The ids would go from 1 ,4 7 and so on . The ids would skip as if id 4 couldn’t be used…it was gone but it was still kind of there. I am amazed no one else is not having this problem, thanks tom for the advice, I don’t know how to deal with this.
Hi Laura.
Are you talking about the so called “widgets” that display information on your site (I can’t see the items you mention when I visit it)? These are responsible for showing, among other things, categories, recent posts, comments, and so on.
You can remove these from the WordPress admin page, under the Appearance section.
As for the problems with the avatars I’m not sure (I created a test account, MartinNr5, feel free to delete it if you wish). There might be a problem with the graphics library on the host that you have your site with so that the images isn’t processed properly.
Can you check with them to see if they support the minimum requirements for WordPress and buddypress?
“Open Inviter” plugin http://openinviter.com/ is working with WPMU, try to download it from wordpress.org that one will work but not for all service providers.

Hi DJPaul:
So, I created the little plugin and placed it in wp-content/mu-plugin folder.
I then went back to the “welcome” box to make the changes to the outgoing text. No changes were made. Sorry for being slow here. But these are the questions I have right now!
1) I have no idea what to do with this step you mentioned above:
“Sorry, forgot to add. Use these tokens in your update_welcome_user_email function to tell WordPress where to insert the relevant values: USERNAME PASSWORD LOGINLINK SITE_NAME”
2) After I create the file and place it in the Mu plugin, where should I go to customize my final message going to the user.
I really appreciate the help.
Thanks so much;

Use FeedWordPress on the WordPress site. Let me know if it works for you.
I found this post and it helped (https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=7393)
In file wp-includes/capabilities.php add on line 2:
require_once(‘pluggable.php’);
Worked PERFECTLY!

Sorry, forgot to add. Use these tokens in your update_welcome_user_email function to tell WordPress where to insert the relevant values: USERNAME PASSWORD LOGINLINK SITE_NAME
This must be a simple one, but as always the answer evades me!
The final email message that includes the userid and password reads like this:
Dear User,
Your new account is setup.
You can log in with the following information:
Username: testeight
Password: f565b34b
and the link here
Thanks!

I would very much like to customize this to my own note, including the signature, etc.
I have tried the welcome box in settings, but to no avail. I am not giving them a blog and just a user account. Perhaps that’s why the welcome thing doesn’t work.
Where do these email messages reside in the back-end? I know this one must be somewhere in WPMU files and not BP.
Thank you so much;

We need to narrow this down further. Make a copy of the custom theme you’ve created. Save it someplace. Wipe the directory /wp-content/themes/home. That’s where the theme labeled “WordPress mu Homepage” is located. I’m guessing you modified that one. Upload a fresh copy of that directory to the server. No mods nothing. Right out of the download zip. Activate that theme and then see if you get the error.
I have installed and been testing this login plugin, and it’s working great so far…even allows me to configure login and logout redirects, among other things.

You can legally remove it.

Hi:
I am new to the whole WordPress and BuddyPress world, but have launched a buddypress site (www.mobiusmanitou.com) that is working nicely. I have a few blogs there (Showcase, FinderMap, and Interviews, located across on the header menu bar) that I want to edit. I’d like to take the Categories, Archive, Subscribe-Comments, and Recent Posts stuff from the sides so it isn’t visible to the viewer. I am guessing this is pretty basic, but I don’t want to runk anything else up by doing it. If it makes a difference, in the Showcase, I am using pages for the entries, not posts as it does what I want otherwise.
Also, I am having trouble uploading my avatar. It opens a window for me to do it, but that is it. I can’t get beyond that point. Is this a known issue, or is it something I am doing?
Thanks in advance!
Laura
