BuddyPress.org

I (myself) wanted to have my 5 websites in the multisite. 1 main site (BuddyPress) + 4 sub-sites Just WordPress (Not BuddyPress). I don’t offer sites to members.

Then why didn’t you continue with that?, you don’t have to offer sites to members. Why did you try what is really ill advised once you have a production site running – unless you have  experience of these matters.

The backup size is because that is a server backup, and I would guess being done in the same fashion as a control panel backups, including the zipped backup probably, is that a normal size? hard to say, it’s large but those types of backups often are being designed to restore  more than just your site.

If I were you I would probably leave well enough alone and just disable anyone can regieter a site. and keep yours, if not then follow exactly the advice given on WP forum and by mercime.

Deleted your duplicated post.

Marking this topic re installing BuddyPress as resolved.

This topic is three years old; I shouldn’t need to tell you how much has changed in BuddyPress and WordPress since then. Please make your own, new, post, and provide more details about your problem.

Have you updated WordPress to 3.5? If so, you’ll need to update BuddyPress to 1.6.2, and this error will clear.

You might want to look into a login redirector plugin like:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/peters-login-redirect/

There are other plugins that do something similar so try a few out and see what works for you.

Welcome Pack plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/

@artshop there are a variety of reasons for permissions errors in WordPress and/or BuddyPress. Could be or not be related to fantastico, depends on When/Where are you experiencing such warnings/error and what’s in your error logs if any.

As for installing WP with fantastico, that might be fine for a simple default blog. But for WP installs where you intend to install BuddyPress and/or go multisite, then you’d be better off installing it manually which may take you a few minutes longer to install … but the trade-off is not going through hours/days of trouble-shooting later. In addition, unless fantastico or any other webhosting one-click WP install scripts have changed in using the same prefix (wp_ or wpdb2_ etc) for all the one-click tricks, your installation is not secure i.e., hackable. There are other reasons for not using one-click webhost scripts for production sites which you can search via google. Lastly, it is also a requirement for installing BuddyPress https://codex.buddypress.org/user/before-installing/#system-and-server-requirements

Something like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/login-with-ajax/screenshots/ or BP Default Theme’s sidebar login

Then you just have to override that in your child theme. BP Default’s responsive.css https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.2/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/responsive.css

See line 211 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.2/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/responsive.css#L210 where it expands #nav li to 100% of containing div. If you’re going to remove or change that, you’d need to work on for the #nav li which is set at 46% of container on line #43 of same file.

BuddyPress is free.

It sounds like maybe you’re confusing two different things:

How the roles were added and removed.
How the users were granted those roles.

I know how they got there, and how they were removed. I’m curious why your users have those roles at all.

bbPress 2.2 and beyond have their own secondary user roles, that do not mix in with WordPress’s role picker. Basically, to avoid exactly this kind of scenario, where users are left without roles at all.

bbPress 2.2.3 should be automatically granting users a forum role when they login and browse the site. Whether or not they have a WordPress role on the site shouldn’t dictate their ability to create activity stream content. The only users that can’t create content in BuddyPress are spammed or deleted users.

Do you have some other role-based custom thing happening on your site that’s interfering somewhere?

You could grant them all the Subscriber role. How did they all end up with the Member role? It’s not BuddyPress’s default role; did you set it to be in WordPress’s settings?
