BuddyPress.org

I don’t understand, I’m having questions about the buddypress plugin and it’s functionalities not about wordpress.

I wanted to take a quick moment and let everyone know our issue has been resolved. What seems to have gone awry was a suPHP configuration that was correctly allowing WordPress side uploads go through with permission 644, but not Buddypress. We run a VPS, so I had the provider’s technicians reconfigure the suPHP settings to allow both WordPress and Buddypress uploads to automatically be set to permission level 644. As of now, things seem to be running smoothly.

So if you’re running a VPS or anything else where you can control the suPHP and PHP settings, be sure to give them a look and ensure they’re behaving as if they were running a shared hosting setup. By default, they are not as open as WordPress and Buddypress need to operate correctly.

Hey there,

Thanks for your reply.

I just tried this… I even changed the structure, saved, and changed it back to my current settings of: Day and name (http://totallymi.com/2011/07/26/sample-post/)

1. Which version of WordPress are you running? 3.2.1
2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install? Totallymi.com
3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? Root
4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version? 3.2
5. Was WordPress functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting. Not an issue with WordPress (Yes)
6. Which version of BP are you running? Updated to 1.2.9 last night
7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? Whatever version was used a month or two ago, downloaded from WP Plugins site.
8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones?
Akismet | Version 2.5.3

10. Have you modified the core files in any way? Just theme related files
11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php? No
12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in? Don’t think so

14. Which company provides your hosting? 1and1 (Business Package)
15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else? Linux/Apache

Here is some additional information — I don’t really think that it will make much difference — but if so, awesome.

Side note, I did edit my theme’s function.php to hard code in the address of http://totallymi.com but it did not change the fact that the BP activity stream is redirecting to the homepage vs the appropriate member’s stream.

Thanks!

Hi Mercime–I just gave your suggestion a go and with only WordPress and Buddypress running with the bundled Buddypress default theme, the avatar upload error still occurred… Do you happen to know if there is any server-side configuration that needs to be in place for the avatar uploads in specific? I’ve also asked our web hosting company to look into the error as well to see if they could see anything on the server side… It’s quite peculiar, because all the other media upload areas work just fine…

Is this a theme specific to buddy press or are you referring to my WordPress theme? Where do I change it? And if it is theme specific, where in the theme could it have been altered? Thanks for the help!

I finally solved the problem completely. Turns out the template pack plugin got deleted. All is well now.

This is a multi site sub directory install with only three sites, the primary site is not using Buddypress, just a secondary site uses it and this is the one that is giving the problems. The third site is active but not being used and is not using BuddyPress.
My .htaccess file follows, (some differences but I don’t know if these are significant).

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /now/
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

# END WordPress

oh same here and thus the wall I have hit. Although they wouldn’t be as pages on the site but post entries and so wouldn’t clutter up the back end. I also need to see if it would conflict with weather or not you give posting rights to the members. My site is user content driven so I’m not worried but I’m not sure what you got going on.It would be nice to perhaps add commenting to the page too so people could rate and leave a comment. This would be standard functionality of wordpress too though right?

Hi Boone,

I download BP 1.3 trunk from https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk.

Is it the right place to get the nightly release?

Thanks for the reply.

@Tammie Lister

Of course, sorry about the lack of information.

The theme I’m using is PlatformPro and we haven’t upgraded too WordPress 3.2.1 as some of the plugins (ie. the login bar) don’t work with 3.2.1 yet.

Thanks,

Interestingly enough, WordPress-side media uploads work just fine. Correct permission is assigned with those uploads, and also with BP Album+ (both come through at 644). It seems to be isolated to the avatar uploads in Buddypress only. The avatar uploads, but comes through at permission level 600. The file owner and group are the same as all of the other files uploaded as well, so it’s not a file ownership issue that I can see…

OK, I manage another solution.
I’ll create a wordpress page for every group. But now, in every Group page, i want to insert a link to that group wp page. Anyone have an idea on how can i accomplish this?

I have installed on my computer and WordPress Xampp (updated).
