BuddyPress.org

Your message is not specific. What exactly doesn’t work?

You know, I’m not sure. But I would be pretty confident to guess that you activate the bbp-twentyten in the same place as any regular WordPress theme. After all, it is a WordPress theme.

This question is also more suited for bbPress.org forums, as it’s not to do with BuddyPress. Thanks!

@webby101 – You are safe to update to WordPress 3.1.4. When WordPress 3.2 drops, we are going to release an update to BuddyPress 1.2 to fix a few compatibility issues.

You should also update all sites on your network on your own. Normal users should not be updating your site for you.

You’re not calling any BuddyPress-specific tags in that code sample, so you might have better luck asking for support on the WordPress.org forums. However, you say that you “can’t query up the loop!” What output are you getting, and what output do you expect?

I’m not sure what this has to do with BuddyPress. You’re best to contact the author of the SMTP plugin that you’re using for support, or to post on the wordpress.org forums.

@oldrow – With hosting, a lot of times you get what you pay for. I don’t have experience with Lunar Pages, but I do know that if you want to control how fast your site loads, you need either a better shared hosting environment or a VPS or better.

If you want to stick with cheap hosts, you might try another one. For example, I have had decent luck with Hostgator.

BP & WP do not assume you are a computer wiz kid, but basic coding knowledge is a must if you”re developing a site.

Check out this fantastic new plugin – BP Multisite http://wpmu.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/bp-multi-site.zip. I’ve installed and am testing it. Not completely sure yet, as there’s a permissions issue (see my comment on the article page below, but it seems to work like a charm.

Now I can have my main network site and not only set up a mixture of regular blogsites (like a restaurant review) and networks (a local English club) but offer my members the chance to have their own distinct network, rather than a mainsite group or regular blog! All using the same username, as @dgmodel and I’ve got it working with facebook connect, so people don’t even have to create ANY accounts!

Here’s the article with the guy/project who got this going:
http://wpmu.org/free-plugin-lets-you-use-wordpress-multisite-to-power-multiple-buddypress-social-networks/

I was able to hack this plugin to accomplish most of what I needed:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-export-users/

You have to edit the array in the plugin file to use your buddypress profile fields (you can add or delete), but other than that, pretty slick.

– To create a group, assuming you’re using bp-default theme and that you’ve allowed Groups in BuddyPress > General Settings, go to http://yoursite.com/groups and click on the “Create a Group” link beside the Groups Directory header.

– The bp-default theme has a log-in form in the sidebar. Then assuming you allowed registration, it will have a link to the default BP registration page.

– Before installing any plugin, WP or BP, check plugin compatibility with your current BP/WP versions. If plugin notes compatibility up to WordPress 3.0 and BP 1.2.6, then you shouldn’t be installing that plugin in a WP 3.1.3/BP 1.2.8 installation.

Please check out the BuddyPress Codex for more information

There’s a plugin for this, but it needs to be updated so the admin setting page link works in newer versions of WP:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/

To fix the admin menu problem, read this:

Sounds like you’re using a caching plugin like W3 Total Cache.
If you have it enabled, disable it.

Right now, there are a few issues with using object caching plugins.

Stay tuned to the following ticket for updates:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2636

The codex is a great resource: https://codex.buddypress.org/home/

Please check the permalinks settings: https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks – I prefer day and name.

In terms of forums, there is a modified bbPress available if you enable this under the BuddyPress settings. Registration page is /register – and can only be seen if you are not logged into the site. Groups must be created. The rest is probably answered in the codex – or you can ask here.

Enjoy the journey

When I go to youareditched.com/members I get
“To enable the member directory you must drop the “plugin-template.php and plugin-sidebar.php” files into your theme directory.”
which is something I’ve not seen before.

So you have BuddyPress installed and activated; installed Hybrid theme, and then installed and activated Malleable child theme in some order or another. Next thing you need to do is install the BP Template Pack plugin which is not what I see in your page source.

== When a user Create’s a Blog and follows the link from the site to their created blog they get the following error; Error establishing a database connection ==

This is not a BuddyPress issue. Deactivate all plugins including BuddyPress; change to twentyten theme and check if you as Super Admin can create a blog from the backend. If not, then you have to resolve multisite setup at WP.org forums https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

As for BP Social Theme, you should be able to get free support for your premium theme at http://buddydress.com/

EDIT- could very well be a theme issue. If you change to bp-default theme, does the same error appear?

You can keep your WordPress theme and just install the BP Template Pack plugin to make your WP theme compatible with BP. No need for a separate installation at all and worrying about sharing users.
