Hi Folks
I love the look of this, and wonder if anyone knows if this is liable to be ported over to be used with a normal WordPress.org installation?
Hi! I’ve been working with wordpress for sometime but as soon as i heard about buddy press i changed to wordpress MU and now i’m somehow stuck on the installation of buddy press because i have some questions.
They said that buddypress couldn’t be installed in a subdomain. Is it true? will it work on a co.cc domain?
Thanks for this awesome project, I’m serious, I am so AMAZED about it!
Thanks!!

Here’s a thread that I started over at mu.wordpress.org. I’m bringing it over here as I think the problem may have to do with BuddyPress.
In summary:
I’ve just upgraded to 2.7 with the latest BP Combo and can no longer find a place to add users when logged in as a regular user. I can’t even find a place to activate registration so that they can sign up for individual blogs themselves.
I found these directions under Site Admin->Option:
“Allow blog administrators to add new users to their blog via the Users->Add New page.”
This seems like it is the answer, except I see no “Add New.”
If I go to /wp-admin/user-new.php I do see the Add User page. In other words, that sidebar link is gone, but the functionality is still there.
Here’s a copy of my sidebar with the missing page link.
http://media.bssd.org/media/temporary/wmpu_sidebar.png
Note that the Users button at the top takes you to /wp-admin/wpmu-users.php , which is part of SiteAdmin. This link allows me to add users to WPMU, but normal users won’t be able to add users to their individual blogs.
What’s needed:
1. We need access to /wp-admin/user-new.php in the side panel so users can add users to their blogs.
2. We need a way for people to register themselves on each others blogs.
Can you add wp, wpmu and bp widgets to this plugin and can show a demo example of wordpress widget like NextGEN Gallery?
It would be nice, but it would require some extra functionality. wordpress.com released as open source their video plugin suite, but I have yet to find anyone that has got it working
Some of use are using phpmotion right now for our members which does both audio and video now. It would be nice to have something and I believe that Nicola has talked about a few solutions once Andy has a chance to put the albums into the core.

Hi,
I’m preparing a Hungarian translation for my BuddyPress/WordPressMu site, but when I upload the .mo and .po files all but one of my Home page widgets disappear. I got an error message when recompiling from the source files saying the v escape could not be used in internationalization and replaced the v with n .
The affected widgets are:

Does WordPress MU work without BuddyPress installed? If not, then you need to fix that first.
Hi folks !
The WPMU pot file exist !
You can found it here:
http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-i18n/pot/mu/trunk/wordpress.pot
The file contains all the lines for wp, but also for wpmu.
I translated it in french for 2.7 beta without problems; Just take care off many plural forms who need to be translated too…
I’m looking for a bbPress translation who works. Actually, the forums are only half translated. If somebody has a solution ?
Okay, I’m not sure what the problem is but here is how I fixed it.
First I totally wiped out all buddypress and WPMU files from the site. I then downloaded the SVN from this URL: http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/trunk. This gives you the WPMU 2.7 version which is still beta at this time but seems to work fine. After setting up WPMU and setting it up so that blogs come under a subdomain (ex. yourblog.yoursite.com) I updated my svn version of buddypress (https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk) and uploaded to the site and installed it. Everything is now working.
I have no idea why it wasn’t working before. I had tried to rewrite some of the code but to no avail. ANywho … doing it this way will get your site working. Also I think it may be important to use subdomains for the blogs. Not sure if that is true but I believe it may be.
Pretty simple really:
1) Make a backup of your DB just in case you change your mind.
2) Remove anything that has prefix of bp in your /mu-plugins/ folder
3) Delete the folder /wp-content/member-themes/
4) Delete the folder /wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/
5) Delete any tables in your DB that start with the prefix bp
6) Delete the tables that are in format of wp_user_X_activity ….. Not wp_users, just those specific to BP
7) Change your main WPMU blog to use a different theme
Be prepared for hits to non-existent information if you have been hit by search engines
Really, it is just reversing what you did in the installation process. Making backups before and after are really important as you don’t want to make a mistake. It is also good practice to tell your members that you are doing it since they might have issue with the changes, or at least need to be notified.
Hope that helps.

I DID it but still have stuff in my DB and the template in wp_content/themes. Now everytime i add a new blog it shows a blank page because no template is choosen. When i switch de BP Template off in the admin the other Templates disapear too!
You just remove the components that live in /mu-plugins.
Hey, hope you guys can help, i searched the whole site but can’t find the answer.
How can i deinstall Buddypress from my WordPress MU? After trying it i got some mysthic errors and i want to be sure that i deinstalled everything.
Thank you!
Well check out this quote: “Very exciting news that Friendster, a popular social networking service with over 90 million global members, has relaunched their blog offering and selected WordPress MU. These member blogs, which are used by millions of Friendster members” So I think BP is a selections of plugins on the wordpress mu.
Therefore if wpmu expands so does BP.
Hi All,
I know that WPMU is very scalable (as evidenced by WordPress.com). Is BuddyPress equally scalable? What if I do create the next Facebook? How will I expand the infrastructure, and will I run into any brick walls?
Thanks,
Mark
What album plugin for wordpress mu do you recommend for now?
Why when i try to add that filter like:
add_filter( ‘groups_extra_fields_content_the-type’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 1, 1 );
it works but it returns me:
Warning: Missing argument 3 for xprofile_filter_link_profile_data() in /home/admin/domains/bpdev/wordpress/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-filters.php on line 32
?
thanks (i don’t have looked the code yet),

I think the error might be in your use of php_self
<form name=”search” method=”post” action=”<?=$PHP_SELF?>”>
What does the html look like when you view the page? I have a feeling it might be putting the wrong url into the form?
Also…
<input type=”text” value=”bob” name=”s” id=”s” />
Change that name and id, because “s”, is caught by wordpress and shows you a search result page:
http://ex-brief.com/?s=bob
That is a wordpress page not found result, basically.
That is why you search isn’t working.

There’s lots of different ways of doing this. You can create a plugin and then put your code in there. Call it from any wp page. You can also create a page template and put your code directly in the ‘search’ template. That’s probably what you are looking for.
Start here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates
The general idea is that all pages are created with a specific template. You create your own, probably by copying an existing page template and modifying it, and then create a page called ‘Search’ that uses that template. You build whatever functionality you want into the template.
I have a php mySQL database search, etc and I want it to work in a wordpress page I will create called “Search”. How can I put PHP into a wordpress page?
I already asked this over at mu.wordpress.org no answer yet.
Having some issues getting plugins to initiatize on any BP generated link. Wondering if anyone has some clues! Recently Andy changed the priority on which bp_catch_uri comes up and it seems to be trumping my plugins now on any BP generated pages.
The plugin in question is a “members-only” plugin that checks if a user is logged in and if not, gives them the login page. The action that is loaded is:
add_action('init', 'members_only_init');
Since that loads after template_loaded, I tried that:
add_action('template_loaded', 'members_only_init');
Still didn’t work, so I even tried to go to the very first loaded action!
add_action('plugins_loaded', 'members_only_init');
Changing priority on any of these doesn’t help.
Afraid to say that it must be something else that is trumping my plugin from loading. It works on pages that bp_catch_uri isn’t loading including the main home page, any actual blog link (off the “news” page) and all blog pages on the network. Just not the BP pages.
Plugin in question if you want to look at it is:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members-only/
If anyone has a clue on this, let me know!
This WPMU changeset has broken things. Working on a fix.

Yes, I’ve looked at that exact plugin. Unfortunately, if you read the comments it appears the plugin is not working since Automattic acquired Gravatar.com. Does that make any sense? You would think Automattic would do everything it can to speed up the use of gravatars and to make it easier to signup within WordPress. Surely someone smarter than me can use that plugin as a base for what’s needed here?
Andy, can you chime in here?
Thx
@scotm I agreee 100%. Maybe this plugin could be adapted to BuddyPress: http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/gravatar-signup/
