Permissions errors more often appear with incomplete auto-upgrades. Manually upload via FTP/cpanel WordPress files and all plugins you have recently upgraded. Clear cache.
Here’s a very good tutorial about sidebar widgets. It would involve adding code to theme’s sidebar.php and functions.php files http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/11/08/sidebars-in-wordpress
*bump*
Someone please help! I am completely without a wordpress admin dashboard and can’t continue working on the project until it is back up.
Try disabling your plugins and see if that fixes it. Also make sure to search the forums for more ideas about troubleshooting javascript problems (here and wordpress.org)
I have:
# 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).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Presume that means its on?
Look in your .htaccess file in your main directory (where wpconfig.php is) for the appropriate block… something like:
`
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
`
@lschnellinger search can easily be done via google in the meantime e.g. “buddypress.org memory limit”

Feel free to help out, 6 more tickets left for BP 1.3 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap
Are you receiving email from wordpress?
Not sending emails and not getting them are two different things. what that support email told you to do won;t actually help, as some mails are sent as wordpress@yourdoman.com and they get rejected on the recipient’s end.
Some web hosts need wordpress to use an extra plugin to send mail, such as https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
3. Save revised file and make necessary replacements in the rest of the files listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#revise-templates
4. Upload revised files to active WP theme folder following directory structure.
Am using buddypress and the page is a php page. i need to reference the current user in these page but it is not working out
Found it. As per the discussion here:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17239
dots in usernames are not allowed in WordPress 3.2.(1). I have changed that now in my install by modifying the function wpmu_validate_user_signup in /wp-includes/ms-functions.php in line 524 from
preg_match( ‘/[a-z0-9]+/’, $user_name, $maybe );
to
preg_match( ‘/[a-z0-9.]+/’, $user_name, $maybe );
I don’t like having to modify a core file, but I like even less that in ticket #17239 it was just decided to disallow dots in usernames. For network sites, which often are associated with username databases, which in turn are often associated with firstname.surname server accounts and email addresses, the dot is an importanrt feature!
You are asking about WP functions on a support forum for BP
What are you actually trying to do? There may be BP method.
The function is failing as you likely haven’t called the global variable $current_user or get_currentuserinfo#()
but you should read the WP codex on how to access this data.
All the info you need is in the codex pages:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_current_user
WordPress 3.2 and BuddyPress 1.2.9
Do you mean blog posts? Because blogroll has a special mean in WP sites https://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#Blogroll
Are you referring to post thumbnails or featured images in posts? Did you check if your theme supports post thumbnails?
So enthused with that fact, Boone stated it twice
This feature is coming in BuddyPress 1.3, which is coming quite soon.

I’m bumping this because there must be a way to mimic this sites activity page : http://swapbbm.com/
the method above totally hides the whole of the activity..I don’t want to settle for this because there has been a decline in sign-ups to my site lately partly due to not being able to see anything going on inside.
they must know something we don’t on this other site, it’s a wordpress/buddypress combo as well !
Some hosts require an extra plugin for wordpress email to work….
I have used https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ successfully, but thereare others…
Well I think that Elgg is probably more suited for what you’re trying to achieve. The other option is to completely move across to wordpress & buddypress and convert your current site. Not sure how much work would be involved though, depends on how big the site is I guess.
