BuddyPress.org

For regular multisite advice, you’re best to post on the WordPress.org multisite forums for expert advice. As far as BuddyPress goes, I’d worry about getting WordPress sorted first, and then seeing what state BuddyPress is in.

Yes, the issue was caused by a plugin… tiny mce! I disabled it and now it works.

Except that the central group forums doesn’t work anymore… instead of it I can see only a wp blank page: http://community.lavocedelladea.it/forums
the bp settings are all ok!

I’ve been searching for the answer to this for a while now.

Finally found this:

You’ll need to change a couple of lines of code in your header – but honestly if I can do it anyone can!

Hope it helps

cheers

@DianaNemorensis you must have fixed this already. I see the whole page and all pages look normal in your site.

Hello!!
After updating to wp 3.3 and buddypress 1.5.2 my website looks this way: http://community.lavocedelladea.it/
olny the header is visible… ((
what can I do?
Thanx!

Go to admin dashboard menu BuddyPress > Components > Account Settings – should be checked to avoid errors in the meantime – Allow your users to modify their account and notification settings directly from within their profiles.

This has been fixed in trunk as a solution to a different issue but involving bp_get_settings_slug as well.

@pollyplummer

Did you add these:
Set a custom user database table for BuddyPress (and WordPress to use):
define ( ‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, $tablename );

Set a custom usermeta database table for BuddyPress (and WordPress to use):
define ( ‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, $tablename );

I had a similar issue weeks ago and nearly gave up on BuddyPress because of it. Today I tried a fresh [1] install of BuddyPress 1.5.2 with WordPress 3.2.1. I did have to wait about five minutes, but the email did come through.

Are you getting any error messages?
Try to log in with the new username and see if you get the error “you need to activate your account” (not verbatim) (Update: The error reads, “Your account has not been activated. Check your email for the activation link” in WordPress, I’m sure the BuddyPress error message is very close)

[1] I didn’t change any settings from their default expect (“Anyone can register”). The only other plugins that are activated are AutoChimp and JetPack, which shouldn’t have anything to do with this issue.

Hang in there! BuddyPress is a young project. If you persist, I’m sure you’ll figure it out.

dear Charly, and other noobs like me.. mind this:

1. upgrading wordpress version with non wordpress-standard theme on it is bad.
2. upgrading wordpress version with non wordpress-standard theme which has it’s own widgets on it is worse, you need to rearrange module’s positions.
3. upgrading wordpress version with non wordpress-standard theme on it AND you have buddypress on it is even worse, see by yourself if you dare.
4. upgrading wordpress version with non wordpress-standard theme which has it’s own widgets on it AND you have buddypress on it with buddypress skin is the worst, makes u want to stop using wordpress anymore.. ever!

well, wordpress is good, but a noob is a noob. i messed up my site because of it, lol..

hi slushman,
try to login from admin link, not from main page. if u login from homepage, you’ll be treated like ordinary user, no admin dashboard will appears.
i have the same problem.. also with JetPack sending me to homepage again, nothing seems to happen and i still got the “Your Jetpack is almost ready – Connect to WordPress.com to enable all features. Connect to WordPress.com” message.
i don’t feel like it’s a bug though, maybe there’s something that we miss
i’m still figure out what i missed, that’s what makes me land on your post here.

Have you tried deleting the .htaccess file via FTP and letting WordPress re-create the file for you? If not, give that a shot and let me know. Also, do you have any plugins installed? If so, which ones?

Thanks for posting an update, @peeld.

There is an existing ticket going in one direction: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3463, and there is an old discussion related to the broader issue: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2678

This is part of a larger problem with the way that activity items are hidden in certain cases. It’s long been an issue of mine, so I’ve opened a ticket with a view to fixing it sooner rather than later: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3857

How dare they!

I have tried everything A to Z to stop spam registration. They all work for a while, but as the site grows it is overwhelmed. I think David100351 is correct people fill out the registration and hand it to bot drones. If anyone has successfully got this under control for a big site let me know as it makes it more work than it is worth.
WordPress is brilliant with anti-spam but have not had the same results with Buddypress. I am thankful for all the work people have done with BuddyPress and know they will say it is an MU problem, but I just want to use BuddyPress without spending so much time fighting spam. Anyone else tried wangguard?

You may also want to look into a plugin that will allow you to use the same e-mail address all accounts, unless you really want to create either 1). 300 E-Mail Accounts or 2). 300 Forwards.

You can check the plugin below out. It should suite your needs.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/allow-multiple-accounts/faq/

Install BuddyPress first.

Activate your Evolve theme.

Install and activate BP Template Pack plugin to make your WP Evolve theme compatible with BuddyPress.

Go through the BP Compatibility Process – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Before installating BuddyPress – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server

Thanks @mercime that worked perfectly! I’m sure others have the same issue.

[php]
function something( $field_id, $value ) {
//…
}
add_action( ‘xprofile_profile_field_data_updated’, ‘something’, 1, 2 );
[/php]

see https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_action

The same question I have. Placing a link “user profile” to a custom menu so the logged in user can access his profile directly.

I heard that with the new release of wordpress and buddypress it should be possible but couldn’t find out how yet.

Any idea?

Installing WordPress is not to difficult. Google your host name and how to install WordPress and you should find a tutorial.

Somebody posted a topic a few days ago with a problem and the reason they had a problem was they used the host installer for WordPress. What Paul is saying is that it may be ok but in my experience I’ve had issues.

You may not have any issues, each web host is different.
