BuddyPress.org

@drmikelbrown The default theme did work with mine when I tested it after having those errors, so, you have a deeper issue. I purchased mingle It’s $40 and the ultimate theme to totally customize your website http://themeforest.net/item/mingle-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/235056 BTW, my htaccess file looks like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
php_value upload_max_filesize 16M
php_value post_max_size 16M

I have subdomains and not sub directories.

An update. I ran through a few tests this morning, with
`define( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2 );`

I tested on two kinds of MS installations: one with subdomains and one with subdirectories. In each case, I installed BP 1.2.10, then upgraded to 1.5. In each case, everything worked fine. The pages in the wizard dropdown were from blog 2, *not* blog 1. This is as expected; see https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5/bp-core/admin/bp-core-admin.php#L535

For now, I have closed https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3602. If anyone can give steps to reproduce (perhaps I’ve misunderstood something about the process), please do so on that ticket.

Hello,

Just wondering if you ever figure out how to do this; or if anyone else knows how to do it. I am facing a similar problem and I am a total newbie to wordpress / buddypress.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I’ve turned on gravatars on the default WordPress main but still no gravatars shows.

I might actually be able to help out with this one. I was getting the same errors. Apparently this is because your wp-config.php is reading the default memory allocation of about 8meg that your host usually sets up by default. Once I edit my wp-config file to allocate 64 or 96 meg with the below instructions it popped back up fine.

Hi Dr Mikel Brown
This sounds like an htaccess issue. Please see this post.

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/404-on-every-link/

To summarise, you should have a file in the root directory of your folder that is called .htaccess (there is a fullstop at the beginning of the file name). The contents of the .htaccess file should contain the following:
# BEGIN WordPress

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

# END WordPress

Hope this helps

Don’t exactly know how current that list is. I would suggest double-checking compatibility of the plugin/s you want to install yourself as well. BP compatiblity is usually noted in right sidebar re plugin like you saw for BP Moderation – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-moderation/

The question about theming/shortcodes is not really related to the issue of WP pages in BP 1.5. BP 1.5 uses WP pages in order to integrate into WP menus, to make it easier to change permalinks, etc. There is no integration with the page templates in your WP theme.

In the future, there will be better integration with a wider variety of WordPress themes. Test out the new bbPress to get a sense of what it might look like. It might not involve shortcodes, but it will be something equally easy. In the meantime, the Template Pack is your best bet.

I don’t know how to make this work on Windows. It’s not really a BuddyPress problem – I’m guessing that a normal WP installation won’t work either, if you turn on pretty permalinks. Have a look at https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Permalinks_without_mod_rewrite

The Header and footer and sidebar and content area are usually in every WordPress template. You need to edit the BuddyPress files added to your theme to match the structure of your theme.

Sometimes the content area is called container or wrapper or something else. You need to match the containing div around the content to the BP files.

In step 3 it shows you a diagram of div markup. If you have never edited code you may need to hire someone to do this. On complex themes it can be a challenge.

The gravatar choice is controlled by WordPress’ main option. I think this is on the Reading page of the Appearance wp-admin menu.

I can’t see how setting the front page back to showing blog posts should be broken by 1.5. All this works fine for me on my test installs (admittedly a new install, not an upgrade).

@tmcneill71 You can grab older versions from https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/download/

@mikepratt, Tim: What other plugins are you running. What theme. Multisite – if so, subdomain or subdirectory? Prior to upgrading, what did you have your home page set as, or was it just showing blog posts?

The WordPress Admin Bar (not BuddyBar) is a different bar entirely.

Try finding something on the WordPress forums:
https://wordpress.org/support

Can also try this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-custom-admin-bar/ (haven’t tested it myself)

Build a custom menu in the WordPress admin, and use that.
