Why not use this version?

Because as djpaul mentioned above, it’s outdated. WP 3.0.1 single or multisite with BP 1.2.5.2 is the way to go. In addition to stronger WP security and better features, you’ll be missing out on the BP plugin extension goodness which are only available and actively developed for current BP version – https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/

Is there any way to get this theme on the new version?

Ah, it’s do-able but porting it would take some time to do so with all the customization in layout and coding to make it work with BP 1.2.5.2. There are free and premium BP child/regular themes which can further customize to taste. And, if you have WP theme, use BP Template Pack to bring over BP social networking goodness.

Cool. I’ve always wanted to play a vampire Kidding aside, BP 1.2.5.2 and WP 3.0.1 install is the way to go. If you haven’t yet, check these out

Many have customized BuddyPress themes and majority are on latest BP/WP versions.

Cheers.

I really shouldn’t encourage you to continue with BP 1.1 series nor using old WPMU versions:-) … but that BP 1.1 series requires WPMU 2.8.4a (per old record of mine) Click on download link near bottom of page
https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.8.4a
BP 1.2 series support single WordPress

I also have the same problem and I’m not hosting on bluehost or godaddy, ‘mail from’ plugin does not seem to fix the issue.

I use the ‘configure SMTP’ plugin for all three wordpress sites on this same hosting accout, all work except for the one where BP is installed. I believe this to be a BP issue since the problem follows BP, not the hosting company which hosts the WP/BP installs.

WP 3.0.1 and BP 1.2.5.2

update: uninstalled ‘configure smtp’ plugin, installed ‘WP-Mail-SMTP’, and ‘mail from’ = success! I hope this helps someone else too!

I don’t know if it’s BP compatible though, keep us posted.

Try this article for widgetizing a template:
http://wpmu.org/how-to-widgetize-a-page-post-header-or-any-other-template-in-wordpress/

i have in the past (which has been refined and fixed with the compat mode flag) – whenever i dump BP on top of an established wordpress blog, the flag is a must. (comes down to the displayname tolerances in the wp_users table )

Ask them if they can increase the php script memory limit, in fact ask then but also report back here how much is allocated, if they can’t or won’t and this is the issue there may be other ways around the issue.

@mgelblum For BuddyPress features out of the box, see home page of buddypress.org which lists the major features including Groups, Profiles, Forums, Members, etc. For general guide/info: Check out https://codex.buddypress.org/home/ and test features further by logging in at http://testbp.org/ using your username and password here.

“how to get inexpensive support/wordpress developers “
If you have luxury of time, learn more about WordPress and BuddyPress, create site yourself, then use forums of WordPress.org and BuddyPress.org if you encounter bumps or challenges along the way with specific questions – e.g. how do I get the rating system/review system like the ones bp.org plugin groups have in my site

Not cheap, but reasonable prices from experienced developers who are competent professionals and who also help out in these forums
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/

Whilst you say you have a VPS with 768 Mb of RAM, how much is allocated to PHP?
https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP

If that doesn’t work, try setting it manually in php.ini via the ‘memory_limit’ variable.

This is really a WordPress question, but it is possible. You can find the documentation to do it: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_time

@dwenaus https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-restrict-group-creation-deletes-group-tags – can you look into this conflict?

@Anointed: Ah, ok. I haven’t actually updated the gsoc repository for quite some time now. I also thought about moving to git but decided against it in the end — WordPress’s repositories will be the sole location for up to date versions of EventPress and BuddyPress Custom Posts.

Check out the codex here for a full list of all functions (great stuff!):
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference

@Anointed: Apart from EventPress, you’ll also need BPCP

@Luccame: Thanks.

@mgelblum Many things in your post are do-able with BuddyPress out-of-the-box and with additional customizations and plugins which are free and those which are paid for. And then it also depends on your server and your ability to go through with the project or might need to hire someone to do.

As for the Sansation theme, either add BuddyPress Template Pack or port Sansation design to your own BuddyPress Child Theme. Either way, you need to have HTML/CSS skills with knowledge of WP/BP template tags.

Re: stability – what works for me may not work for you. Did you read information about the plugins? Both plugins are being actively developed. There was insufficient doc on EventPress, so here’s a sample – http://gsoc2010.wordpress.com/2010/07/12/status-update-4/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-sitemap-generator/ (ignore some of the warnings in the dashboard – i haven’t updated it awhile but still works and waiting on bp 1.2.6 to do so.)
