— 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.:

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

“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.
Do you use a wordpress copy provided by your host ?
Do you use a child-theme ?
Do you use any shortcode on the register page ?
Disallow blog creation for the moment and remove all xprofile fields to get only the default name field.
Also download a fresh copy of wordpress and upload the twenty twelve theme folder to your site. Maybe your’s is corrupted somewhere.
FYI:
The original file is in buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-classes.php (BP 2.0.2)
The patched code is here.
The part you mention is for developpers unit test. You have nothing to do with that. 😉
Here you can download a copy of the patched file I use. You put it here:
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/
And here the code to add into bp-custom.php
function bpfr_hide_profile_field_group( $retval ) {
// hide profile group to members when on profile edit
if( is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_profile_edit() ) {
// exlude groups, separated by comma
$retval['exclude_groups'] = '6';
}
return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'bpfr_hide_profile_field_group' );
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.
We are on the way to determine what’s happening ! Be patient ! 😉
You said you installed your site before the wildcard was setted.
So i presume you installed your wordpress before too !
Normally during the install, a htaccess file is generated. The problem is that a MS htacces and a single htaccess file doesn’t contain the same rules. And same remark for the wp-config file.
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.
No need to remove plugins and themes. Simply rename the plugin folder to xxx-plugins and they all will be deactivated.
Once re-install successfully finished, you rename the plugin folder and you reactivate them one by one from the admin dashboard > plugins.
Don’t forget that you’re on a MS. This means that you have 2 (zwei) dashboards. One for the main site and one for the Network. And that BuddyPress should be installed on the network.
I’m not using the do_action…that’s built into WordPress core in wp-includes/comment.php. The do_action is called during the wp_update_comment() function, which my custom comment editor uses. I could avoid it all together by doing a direct database insert using WP’s $wpdb class, but I prefer to use their built in functionality whenever possible.
Both URL’s goes to error pages.
So i’m affraid that you have to check your whole installation from the begin, first on your host (by reading his documentation) and after that your sites.
To do that, you first need to ensure that your domain has a wildcard if you want to use subdomains.
Then follow WP network install instruction and re-read BP install.

“Are you on a single or MS install?”
WordPress MultiSite.
I have already created:
http://kampfsportlerinnenneuwied.1a-spielwiese.de
and
http://balletttaenzerinnenkrzbg36.1a-spielwiese.de
But they don’t work currently. I guess, I have to wait for some settings of my web space provider. – The provider is already informed.
“Are your BP pages correctly set up?”
What does this mean? Where I have to do this setting up? And what is “correct” and what is “not correct”?
“Did you activate pretty permalinks?”
I guess, not – if it is not automatically activated.
Hello, First I’m using WordPress 3.9.2 and Buddypress 2.0.2
What I would like to do and can’t figure how to or even know if it’s possible:-
Give each member a tick box of daily activity’s like a to do list. Once the member has complected the activity they tick the box to say done that. The list of activity’s would need to reset each day. Then I would like to show the results on a site wide/members only page.
Say member 1 went to the post office on Monday, Thursday and Friday. On Monday, Thursday and Friday they would tick the box that said “went to post office”.
Member 2 went to post office Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, They would Tick the box “went to post office” on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. (It should not be possible to tick Mondays box on Tuesday etc hence why it needs to reset each day)
The results of who went to post office would be shown on a page of results viewable by all members. I wish more than one activity to be possible and to be able to show all results as a simple bar graph, on its own page and as a side bar widget. Results such as how many members have been to the post office, which day most members went to the post office etc would/could be shown.
Is this possible through Buddypress please and if so how would I go about doing it?
Problem:- I am dyslic coding is not an option, I can use plugins and can use such as this box to type into using a spell checker.
Hi @thetinus,
first of, two advice:
http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/why-you-should-never-upload-a-video-to-wordpress/
http://support.hostgator.com/articles/specialized-help/technical/wordpress/why-videos-should-never-be-uploaded-to-wordpress
To your question a) & b)
yes you can code a custom (user) profile page. And yes you can use a player on it.
But all depends of the number of videos attributed to each user, how many user will use this, the config of your server and of course your personnal knowledge about templating BP and php coding.
Also, embeding hosted videos on profiles from official WP providers is very very easy – and powerfull. Doing the same from your own server is a bit more delicate to handle.

If you have questions, please ask only one by topic and try to be very specific and detailed.

what you already did – give example or pastebin your code
and what you think should work and doesn’t.
thank you !
Should i change template to deactivate this plugin?
Yes, try this first. then activate 2013 theme.
Deactivate also all plugins except BP and reactivate them one by one to find the culprit. If everything goes well with the plugins, you reactivate your theme.
If you used bp-custom for some changes, remove the file while testing.
Also in your theme, if you tweaked functions.php, remove it and replace it with the original functions file.
Same recommendation if you use a child-theme. Remove it completely during your test.
But before deinstalling definetly BuddyPress, i would take a moment to see what happens with my install.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress
I’ve been using this plugin for a long, long, time to help with both development and member support:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-switching/
It’s a very cool little piece of code that might be exactly what you’re looking for.
Hope that helps.
A logged in user is logged by role. This means that a super admin (independantly of the name) is always a super admin.
On the same maner, a subscriber role is always a subscriber, independantly of his name.
Now if you need to “see” what a subscriber (or an author, or an editor) can see, you have to asign to yourself an account of a subscriber (or an author, or an editor).
So this answer is correct:
If you want to login as a user, you have to create that account first and than login as that user.

Unfortunately it does NOT work this way. I have deactivated and deinstalled custom css plugin.
But nevertheless no button (and not footer) is displayed on the registration page – though the footer (“Dieses Blog läuft mit WordPress”) IS displayed on the other pages.
Hallo @1a-spielwiese,
when checking the source code of http://www.1a-spielwiese.de/register/ you can see that, aside the missing buttons, the footer is also missing and at least mainly of the ending tags such as body and html…
I would try to deactivate the custom css plugin and use a child-theme to do minor css modification for entry titles.

Twenty Twelve Theme
Hello everyone! I know this has been a topic in the past, but I was hoping for a more complete answer to this issue. I know there are many people who would benefit from a viable solution to this.
First off, I am using WordPress 3.9.2, and Buddypress 2.0.2.
The main purpose of this post is to try and figure out how to create multiple profiles (2 or more) with completely different profile fields, and to associate each profile to a different user type/user role.
Example: I created to custom user roles … Writer and Publisher. We have Anthony, the writer … and we have Jason, the publisher. When you click on Anthony’s profile, you will see an author bio, other writers that influenced Anthony’s work, favorite genres, etc … When you click on Jason’s profile, you’ll see the publishing company that Jaosn works for, maybe a company about section, if it is a large publishing house … how many employees, how many writers are published, etc…
What I am looking for is one of a variety of things… I will, of course, be thrilled if one of you has a full code snippet/snippets that does what I am looking for. I will also be appreciative for an explanation of what Buddypress files need to be edited to achieve this. Really, anything that gets me closer to a solution, as I am currently doing this for a client’s website, and after I finish this piece of functionality, we will almost be finished!
Thank you so much for reading this, and thank you in advance to all of those willing to help me achieve this goal.
Ask me any questions you may have that will help clarify things.
Cheers!!

I am unable to figure out how to forward a message. I’ve searched Google and this site for some information unsuccessfully. I did find some people asking to have this added as a feature, or ask how to do it, but there have been no answers.
From what I read here:
"Private Messages
Private Messaging works like an internal site email. Members can message people on their friends list as well as forward and reply to received messages. Each member will have their own individual Inbox and Sent messages folders as well as a Compose message screen. Members will be notified of new messages by a new message count in own Messages tab, in notification circle in Admin toolbar, as well as receive email notifications of the private message, if enabled."
It is clearly stated that this is a feature that is already there, but on our site we have no button for forwarding messages. Only replies.
Could someone clear this up or help troubleshoot the problem?
I would also like to know if there is a way to disable the “feature” that only allows you to message people on your friends list? Instead, I’d like everyone to have the ability to start typing a name in the “TO” field and have the the auto-matching feature enabled so you can select from the list.
I tested the snippet and applied the patch to 2.0.2 and it works. So i guess you did something wrong. 🙁
BP 2.1 is expected in 12 days !
