BuddyPress.org

geat job @poolie I have been looking your site, couldn’t belive that is a buddypress website at the first galance. How did you integrate a mobile apps into wordpress? I am courious how your business is running? I hope all goes well.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size is totally different to Fatal error: Call to undefined function

You only have 32 mb of memory available and wordpress needs more. There are various technques for increasing memory available but some hosts don’t allow those methods to be used and require a different hosting plan.

If that isn’t practical it is possible to run wordpress with less memory if you cut back on plugins, use a theme that doesn’t eat up memory, and only upload very small pictures…. There are various plugins around that can help you work out what is eating ram

I used to find it hard to run wordpress with 32 meg of memory, let alone buddypress ( fortunately my host upgraded me ).

Check out http://tech.ipstenu.org/ebooks/wordpress-multisite-101/

To do what you want, you’d need a multisite with subfolders instead of subdomains.

There’s also this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-user-account-type-lite/ but you would have to add some redirects to special registration pages with different profiles for respective users.

Backup your bb-config.php in computer hard drive. The information which should be the same with your wp-config.php is the name of the database, username, password and hostname.

e.g. if in your wp-config.php, you have
`/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘NM_rx001’);`
then in you bb-config.php, you should have
`/** The name of the database for bbPress */
define( ‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘NM_rx001’ );`

same goes for the username, password and hostname. In other words, do not change BBDB_NAME to DB_NAME

EDIT – did not see your 3 most recent posts while I was writing info above.

But wait, you posted
`bb file has
‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘faixxx?);
wp file has
‘DB_NAME’, ‘FAIHxxx?);`

but faitxxx is not the same as FAIHTxxx Do not post DB info here. You’re compromising your installation.

Simply done, if you have a single WP installation
– DO NOT enable registration in Settings > General > Member
– add https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/absolute-privacy/
that’s it.

buddypress-links would be the plugin directory/folder not a file. In that message the file is bp-links-core.php.

Is your error message exactly the same? If you quote it, please use backticks ( “` ) so it doesn’t get mangled by this website….

To get back into the site’s admin it is sometimes necessary to disable all plugins but it would be better, normally, to disable one at a time or based on your error message….

@emaarkhan if you have a WordPress theme (or a child theme thereof), install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process. Walkthrough of Twenty Ten Child theme with BP Template Pack – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/

Wordpress Admin Settings > General > Membership – select Anyone can register ?

After spending an hour trying things, I’ve discovered that if you’re on https, the user avatar includes are always http.

EDIT: Made a ticket https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4110

You need to create both menus. Without it wordpress has it’s own default menu which you have been relying on

A good guide for understanding wordpress menus is http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/06/01/goodbye-headaches-hello-menus

You should make a child of bp-default and backup files and db just in case…

You don’t add or remove any pages from the code. The point is that it works from the built in wordpress default menu system. ( https://codex.wordpress.org/Navigation_Menus )

To get the second menu to appear – In your child theme’s functions.php file add:
`function register_my_menus() {
register_nav_menus( array(
‘primary’ => __( ‘Header Navigation’ ),
‘secondary-menu’ => __( ‘Alternative Menu’ ),
‘another-menu’ => __( ‘Another Menu’ )
) );
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘register_my_menus’ );
`

You shouldn’t touch wp or bp core files.

What theme are you using?

In your child theme’s header.php file you replace the `wp_nav_menu` section with either of the above ( not both ).

Then you can define two menus on appearance > menus ( primary and secondary-menu on the above example ) Set one for logged in users and one for everyone else.

You need to figure out and tell us what is being included over http. Also your WordPress and BuddyPress versions. Thanks.

== how can they sign up to my database without filling in the recaptcha or confirming their mail? ==
There is a possibility that your old BP1.2.7/WP3.2 installation has been hacked. I would start backing up DB and server files to your hard drive. See https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked

== but for some reason the search field always brings me to the homepage instead of search results. ==
Yes we are aware of this and the issue will be resolved soon.

== Using cpanel (fantastico) … how can i reinstall wordpress, can this be the issue? ==

@allentan you will need to re-install WordPress. WordPress should be installed manually, e.g. via FTP, and NOT via webhost scripts which bring about numerous issues when BuddyPress is activated.” (reference)

That is why BP 1.5.5 was released https://buddypress.org/2012/03/buddypress-1-5-5/
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/1-5-5-imortant-update/
All users should upgrade BP ASAP.
