BuddyPress.org

Hi, Thanks for the reply. What do I need to look at on ‘https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting’ ? Do I search for broken Permalinks? What problem do I have with my Permalinks? Thank you for your asitstance. I have re-isntalled a new WP site but have not yet isntalled BuddyPress. What do I need to do first?

Hi,

I was referring to this https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/ under Step 1.

I only have Components – Finish & nothing beyond, which should be the “Save & …” button.

I think it’s a not a browser issue as this is the same on different PCs where no other such problem has shown up for WordPress plugins. Also I think it is no server issue, with the PHP 5.3 & 5.2, with all other scripts, including Drupal running.

So running the installation wizard leads to a dead end.

I would appreciate any help …

Kind regards

Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

Is it just they way it’s coded? Because i can’t find why WordPress or BuddyPress is not loading from the start but always waits a little while and after that it loads the site.

I’ve enabled Gzip, Minify, (JS-/CSS) Cache, only 2 Grav’s on page, and optimized my Database but still i can’t get it underneath 1.4.seconds to load

I know this sounds crazy because 1.4 seconds is very nice the only problems is that 1.4S isn’t the loading time 70% of this 1.4S is just waiting to get started with loading.

Strange i can’t find it and solve it.

Thanks.

And the log entry showing an error occuring whenever I try to work with Group forums:
WordPress database error Table ‘wordpress.wp_bb_topics’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT t.*, g.id as object_id, g.name as object_name, g.slug as object_slug FROM wp_bb_topics AS t JOIN wp_12_bp_groups AS g LEFT JOIN wp_12_bp_groups_groupmeta AS gm ON g.id = gm.group_id WHERE (gm.meta_key = ‘forum_id’ AND gm.meta_value = t.forum_id) AND t.forum_id = ’16’ AND t.topic_status = ‘0’ ORDER BY t.topic_time DESC LIMIT 20 made by require, wp, WP->main, do_action_ref_array, call_user_func_array, bp_screens, do_action, call_user_func_array, groups_screen_group_forum, bp_core_load_template, load_template, require_once, locate_template, load_template, require_once, locate_template, load_template, require_once, bp_has_forum_topics, BP_Forums_Template_Forum->__construct, bp_forums_get_forum_topics, BB_Query->BB_Query, BB_Query->query

@valuser

that is strange. I took your chunk of code above and pasted it into the bp-custom.php page in my plugins folder, and this is what I get in my address bar:
http://localhost/members/user1//friends/

I get pushed to the member profile instead of their blog

my specs:
I am using wordpress MU 3.4 with BP ver 1.5.6. – I place the code in my plugin file bp-custom.php.
not sure why I would get a different result than you

If anyone has this problem, the fix for me was removing the wordpress RewriteEngine from htaccess.

`# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress`

After removing that, it started working.

Thanks for the reply Paul.

If the sharing of site is WordPress behaviour, why can’t ‘friends’ via BuddyPress see each others blogs? I would love it if my post went into the activity for all other users to view but that doesn’t seem to be happening.

I feel like I’m doing something wrong but I don’t know enough to know what that might be..

Thanks

OK – dumb question but where are the 6 Clean BP folders?

I’ve looked within the BP zip and they’re not there. When I uploaded the BP Comp. pack (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/) it actually skipped over step two automatically.

Where do I go to see them?

Hi bollocks187-
I was just a little confused how groups was intended for use within WordPress/BuddyPress. To give you some insight as far as where I’m coming from, I’m moving from a Groupsite environment. In that environment, you can have ‘x’ number of groups. The groups can by hidden just like in WP/BP, but can have their very own content exclusive to them, which is hidden from non-members of that group (as expected). Likewise, members of a given group can communicate freely between each other. I was looking for a feature set within WP/BP that mimicks that behavior. The other thing missing is a peer recognition feature- kind of like a way for one user to endorse another. (another Groupsite feature). Think of this as a kind of letter of recognition from one user to another, so anyone visiting the endorsed member’s profile would see a senior member/administrator endorses/vouches for/recommends that user. I’ve been working with a messload of different plugins with varying levels of success/failure (far more failures than successes) and was getting a little frustrated -iterative testing to ensure a new plugin doesn’t break existing working plugins and trying to determine the UI for a new plugin since it’s often a sorely overlooked feature for so many developers.

I’m now looking into the possibility of using groups forums to address some of what I want to do, but am hoping that by doing so, it won’t confuse end users by having them try to contend with two separate types of forums – one open and public, and the other being ‘x’ number of private instances, one for each hidden group.
