I have the same exact problem. I tried installing on a site WP 3.3.1/BP 1.5.5. and got this after installing the buddypress plugin manually. Gave up and wiped my entire wordpress install.

Tried again, fresh wordpress, fresh database, and even installed BuddyPress through the admin “add new plugin” area.

Both installs were using the default BP theme that it comes with. All other plugins disabled/deleted via ftp/or for the fresh build never installed any at all (other than BP)

Couldn’t get it to work in any possible manner.

Oh, my.

Changing the chmod of wp-content to 777 won’t actually *break* your site, but maybe something else happened at the same time. I’d suggest popping into the multisite forums at WordPress.org, and searching/asking for anything similar.

If you’re using child theme of bp-default theme https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/

Buddypress is a wordpress plugin, it is designed to be integrated with WordPress – it builds on its core features.

Firstly install WordPress (takes a few moments), add the Buddypress plugin and then work your pre-existing content in.

Because of feature updates, security, bug and reliability fixes it would be somewhat foolish to tear apart the plugin to use with your custom php.

Hello,

Within that plugin you can set it (without having to modify the plugin) to just to friends, private or public, this is done from within the plugin page within wordpress, this then allows the user to chose on the front end.

I might also suggest,

http://bp-tutorials.de/2010/09/private-buddypress

This plugin makes your whole install private to non logged in users, thus creating another layer of privacy.

I hope this helps somewhat.

I managed to solve my problem by:

1. Unchecking the forums component in the BuddyPress Component settings page.
2. Renaming bb-config.php in your WordPress installation root directory to something else (making BuddyPress believe that bbPress is not installed).
3. Re-checking the forums component in the BuddyPress Component settings page.
4. Re-installing the group forum component in the BuddyPress Settings “Forum” tab.

Hope this can help someone else as well, was really frustrating not being able to post anything.

1. Alternative to BP Album –> BP Gallery plugin, a premium plugin, handles images, audio and video for individual and group galleries.

2. Set group forums as default homepage for groups –> http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/44863/whats-the-easiest-way-to-change-the-default-landing-page-for-buddypress-groups

See https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3588 might be relevant

I found this plugin to also be helpful, particularly at identifying the field names very clearly.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/navayan-csv-export/

Simply install, go to tools, find the wp_bp_xprofile_data and wp_bp_xprofile_fields and export.

Actually with that info you can do quite a bit. But I think the profile fields is a great reference to complete the code array( above.

Warm regards,

Some basic information for multiple BuddyPress sites in one WP installation.

1. Install WordPress

2. Create a Network of your WP installation

3. Install/activate BuddyPress plugin
– BuddyPress is activated by default for the whole network. So by the same token, there is only one instance of BuddyPress for the whole network.

4. Make your BuddyPress “multisite” (separate instances of BP in one WP installation)

a. BP Multi-Network plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/
– Requires either free https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-multi-network/
or the premium http://wpebooks.com/networks/
– In effect, you need to create networks out of each subsite of your original network,
then install the BuddyPress Multi-Network plugin to have separate BP installations in each
“sub-network” … you get what I mean

OR

b. BuddyPress Multi-Network plugin http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-multi-network/
– simply, separate BP site for each WP subsite. You should check this out

Best people to ask about the WP/BP Multi-Network plugins above are the plugin developers ;-p

Theirs no backend feature like WordPress’ has for navigation menus.

However, this might help…

@fmeroney Was this what you where after?
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_redirect

With bp_loggedin_user_domain() as the location

The profile labels and data are rendered in table rows. You could copy over the profile-loop.php file to your child theme folder /themes/childtheme/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php and change the table/rows/columns into divs/spans etc.

At this time, changes have been made to include support for upcoming WP 3.4. which is not kosher with your current WP 3.3.1 install

In the meantime, you can already make the change to include Edit link in admin bar within your /plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php file – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5958

@fmeroney – Your example was eaten by the forum software (it happens when you don’t use “backticks“ around your code)

But, i’m guessing this is what your looking for? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-redirect-to-profile/

Same issue here, it is pretty frustrating as i try to figure out the different options, but i don’t find a central place which explains it me properly (o.e. the Codex, where it should be IMHO).
I am happy to put everything together in english and german after we resolved the issue, but i don’t get it running properly (neither technically, nor in my mind).

I. Core Definition

---

If i understand it correctly, there are serveral approaches to run BuddyPress on
a) MultiSite (WP Network)
and
b) MultiNetwork (BuddyPress Network)

Correct?

II. Different MultiSite Options

---

1.) MultiSite + different Websites with different BuddyPress Networks
2.) MultiSite + different Website but sharing the same userbase

1.) is clear to me, but 2.) envolves already the following subquestion:
– Can we have a single userbase, but with dedicated design per blog/domain? Let’s say we have a dog and a cat community. I would like to have the user “Frank” only once in both systems, but when he changes his profile on the cat-website, can he do it there, or will it be within one central design/domain?

III. Issue No. 1

---

Let’s assume we are running the current stable version of WP 3.3 and let’s assume the WordPress network runs properly, here already my first question:
I do normaly use the “WordPress MU Domain Mapping”, after a few tests with “BP Multi Network plugin”, i assume i should not have it running, correct?

IV. Issue No. 2

---

So, now i am trying to established on a WP MultiSite installation different (independant) Buddy Networks. So BP Multi Network plugin is the way to go, right?
What i don’t get is
“4. Activate BuddyPress on your sub network.” from https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/installation/
I can activate BuddyPress ONLY for the whole network, not for each single (configured) domain/blog. What am i missing?

IV. Issue No. 3

---

When i activated define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2); (or ID 3 in my case), the possibilty to enter “activity” was gone from all domains, i just don’t get it

i have configured this here:
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);

define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);

define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );
$base = ‘/’;
define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘XYZ.XYZ.vom’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );
define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );

/* WP MU Plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/installation/ */
define( ‘SUNRISE’, ‘on’ );

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

Using standard Buddypress Theme from Plugin 1.5.5

IV. Issue No. 4

---

About the theme.
Where should i activate the theme? Per Domain or just in a central community?

Sorry for mixing up things, but that all is very unclear to me. Any ideas?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-hierarchy/ ?

A bug. Which version of BuddyPress are you using?
