BuddyPress.org

Thankyou, @henrywright.

Copying the whole plugin would be much more than what I did.

I copied the buddypress folder that is contained in bp-legacy. Is that not was what the directions meant?

If I did this right, why are the files not visible in the WordPress back end at Themes > Editor > mytheme?

My wp-config.php and my .htaccess are both correct, isn’t it? –

What shall we do? –

— Shall we try to get the button at issue visible within the current WordPress-installation (with www. in the general settings)?

— Or shall we try to solve the “Umleitungs”-problem, which appears, when I remove the www. from the general settings (s. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/no-button-for-finishing-registration/#post-187046)?

Thank you bp-help I get your point. My experience with wordpress plugins is that most start off free, open to the community to give a good hammering. Once the plugin becomes stable, the developers then add an upgrade option for a cost. From what I have seen a good free plugin is used a lot by the community, business user then start to use it, which in turn give the developer/s a chance to make some money.

It’s that old ugly question, money up front and take a chance or time and effort up front and hope it pays off 🙂

Thank you for the good luck wish, perhaps yes I shall look back to wordpress for a solution.

Best wishes

Whats this about trust? Learning to code for me is impossible. Sorry I come from a time when the internet was free. You would ask for help and people were happy to give help and were not out to put a price on everything. Look when I suggest something I would like my raspberry pi to do on a forum. I don’t get people coming in and saying pay us and we will write you a script. They suggest ways to accomplish what I am doing, including providing the code. If other people like the project they also come along and help with suggestions, everyone learns, everyone gains. No money involved.

As for learning to code. 1994 I put up my first website. written in HTML, for me it was really hard work as the dyslectic nature on my brain put pieces of the code back to front or muddled. So I went on a university night course to learn it. They helped me to learn it but steered me in a graphical direction instead. I learned Lightwave 3D then moved on to 3D max, Went back to collage and learned photoshop and corel draw. By that time dreamweaver 1 had come out so building websites for someone who can’t code became easier. I have had many website out there since my first, all free, many built for other people again for free. Thing is I don’t mistrust developers, developers over the years have provided me with what I need, software that I need to be able to do as I do. Software I pay for, but I also run linux systems where I test what developers are up to and willing to share for free. Same applies here bp-help.

They way I feel now is that WordPress and Buddypress are simply given away free so developers can make money of the designing of plugins, what do you think that says to me about the people who have helped develop WordPress and Buddypress without making any money.. There are plenty of them out there yes? I feel like they were simply used to provide somewhere, people wishing to make money, could happily do so on the back of them that created the platform for nothing.

Sorry I come from a place where money and mistrust don’t really play a part.. Guess I should just look somewhere a bit less skeptical.

Yes Paul. I do have payed for plugins from various places and have payed people before to fine tune them. But before I even consider paying for something I want to test it and make sure my money isn’t being wasted. So as always the first thing to do is ask questions, does the ability to do what I require exist, if so what plugins, Hence why I am asking the questions. Perhaps someone who designs plugins and sells then may come in and say, yes I have something that may help. Then I will check out what they have, if it takes me so far the discuss with them what help I could get in making it work for me If bought it from them. The article you posted a link to misses out so much..And you I feel just jumped to a conclusion.

On This matter I have been testing out all the to do list and task manager plugins out there. I hit a brick wall so thought I would ask those who know what they would suggest.

Perhaps hold back next time Paul before posting such a link, you may just not have all the facts 🙂
And always remember, wordpress and buddypress are free. Some time in the past someone, somewhere probably said on a forum “I would like a website script that is great for blogging but doesn’t mean I have to pay a developer thousands for” some one took notice, didn’t ask for thousands but got together with other interested people and built wordpress and buddypress. If you have pointed then to your link when they asked the question, perhaps we wouldn’t have wordpress or buddypress now ?

My .htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

The lines at issue of my wp-config.php:

/**
* For developers: WordPress debugging mode.
*
* Change this to true to enable the display of notices during development.
* It is strongly recommended that plugin and theme developers use WP_DEBUG
* in their development environments.
*/
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);

define(‘MULTISITE’, true);
define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, true);
define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘www.1a-spielwiese.de’);
define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’);
define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);

/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

I have no time for comparing them right now. Sorry.

Your last answer I have seen right now. – I can’t answer in detail before tomorrow; I have to logout and to leave.

Only short:

“What is the /usage/ folder for?”

Maybe for for statistics.

“Most hoster have a root folder like htdocs or wwww.
You install WP at the root. Eg. server root/wp-content, server root/wp-admin, etc”

The highest level is not named. The wp-config.php and the .htaccess are on the highest level. The different WordPress-Folders constitute – together with the usage-folder – the second level.

Before I did:

— Again I started everything up form the beginning. Now it is impossible to delete the file
.nfs00000000038a694400007603
from the wp-admin/includes folder.

— I delete and re-create the wordpress-database etc.

— This time I removed NOT the www. from the general setting.

— I inserted the indicated further lines to the wp-config.php and uploaded the .htaccess.

— I can log in; and I have two dashboards now. I activate ‘Es können neue Seiten und Benutzer registriert werden.’ (New pages and users can be registered.)

— I log out; check the registration page. It’s everything okay: The ‘weiter’ (next)-Button is there.

— I log in. I installed and activated BuddyPress.

— I de-activated ‘Extended Profiles’. I de-activated ‘Show the Toolbar for logged out users’.

— I log out and check the register page. The submit-Button is missing again.

—

However, on Friday I received the message from my provider: ‘Ich habe dir DNS Wildcard gesetzt und www entfernt.’ (I have set the Wildcard and www removed.’) –

But of course this referred on the WordPress/Buddy-installation from Friday not from today.

— Again I deleted everything (except the usage-folder) from my ftp-server and uploaded the fresh WordPress-copy again.

— As well I uploaded again the wp-config.php with the line
define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);

— Nevertheless I get still the same error message:

‘Fehler: Umleitungsfehler

Die aufgerufene Website leitet die Anfrage so um, dass sie nie beendet werden kann.’

— It’s the same as well, when I use the wp-config.php without the MultiSite-line.

— I removed all files from my ftp-Servers. – Only a folder ‘usage’ was not removable.

— I deleted my WordPress database. I created a new WordPress database.

— I renamed my old 1a-Spielwiese-folder on my on computer.

— I created a new 1a-Spielwiese-folder and there a Word-Press-subfolder.

— I downloaded a fresh WordPress copy from https://de.wordpress.org/latest-de_DE.zip to the mentioned subfolder.

— I extracted the zip file. Then I uploaded the extracted files to my ftp-server.

— I inserted my database infos to the wp-config.php and renamed it to wp-config.php.

— I surfed to http://www.1a-spielwiese.de/wp-admin/install.php

— After finishing the installation, I logged in and activated the Twentytwelve-Theme as well as ‘Jeder kann sich registrieren.’ I checked http://www.1a-spielwiese.de/wp-login.php?action=register – everything okay. The ‘Registrieren’-button is there.

— I inserted the line
define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
into the wp-config.php and logged in again.

— I try to remove the www prefix from the WordPress-Adresse (URL) and Site Address (URL). During saving the setting change, I was automatically logged out. To log in again is impossible. Trying to go to 1a-spielwiese results in the error message:

‘Fehler: Umleitungsfehler

Die aufgerufene Website leitet die Anfrage so um, dass sie nie beendet werden kann.’

“A last try please. Remove www from the site url in the site settings.”

Once the MultiSite Version is activated, there are – neither on the Network-level nor on the 1a-Spielwiese-level – the lines “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” within the Generel Settings anymore.

However, my provider removed the www prefix already on Friday for me; cfr.:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/no-button-for-finishing-registration/#post-187029

“I opened a ticket for this.
Please follow it, as you will probably be invited to give some more details to solve it.”

Have I to do anything right now? Or have I to read it only for the moment?

However, I have decided to re-start really from the beginning; I removed all files from my ftp-server.

“remove all xprofile fields to get only the default name field.”

When I posted the comment:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/no-button-for-finishing-registration/#post-187032

non xprofile field was created.

“Also download a fresh copy of wordpress and upload the twenty twelve theme folder to your site. Maybe your’s is corrupted somewhere.”

That’s really unlikely, because both copies worked without problems, before I installed the BuddyPress-Plugin. And I tried never to make any major change of twenty twelve theme or WordPress itself.

“Do you use a wordpress copy provided by your host?”

No, that version:

https://de.wordpress.org/latest-de_DE.zip

“Do you use a child-theme?”

No, up to now there was no nessicity for that.

“Do you use any shortcode on the register page?”

No – as far as I now.

I installed WordPress. Then I activated the MultiSite-Functionality.

Within that process the htaccess was mentioned. Because it didn’t exist, I created such file – with the rules, which are mentioned for activating the MultiSite Version.

Finally I uploaded the htaccess and the modfied wp-config.php; and I contacted my provider regarding the Wildcard (and regarding deleting the www. prefix).

All this I did on Thursday, and my provider answered on Friday.

“Don’t forget that you’re on a MS. This means that you have 2 (zwei) dashboards.”

Yes, I have two.

“And that BuddyPress should be installed on the network.”

I did so.

“IMHO the easiest solution is – if the wildcard exist now – to remove the wp-config file from your site via FTP and to restart the installation process.”

Okay, I will try this.
