@warut Thank you. Badge is working well in test install WP 3.0.1 – BP 1.2.5.2, subdomain structure, and upgraded from WPMU 2.9.2. Cool

@christinarule –

other than the check for mod_rewrite.c, you have the same .htaccess that I have in a default install, with permalinks set to /%category%/%postname%/ (http://playground.21inspired.com is a simple default install).

My .htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

Unfortunately, this is beyond my area of expertise. Hopefully, someone else can help you get rid of index.php in your urls, and get the blog & BuddyPress urls resolved correctly.

Other quick thoughts: is your .htaccess in your site’s root directory? Do you have other .htaccess files in the subdirectories? Does your server support mod_rewrite?

Anyone able to help?

Sure, that is one place. But I still get different times in Sitewide Activity, a jQuery FullCalendar script that works fine in WordPress site without BP, etc.

I am on customized BP 1.1.3 + WP 3.0, but judging from hnla’s comment the issue has not been fully fixed in the latest versions. Anyway I’m trying to figure out where to fix it, where in the code, where in the database.

.htacess

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

If you use custom profile filters plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/) and add a field labeled “Twitter”, user can enter their Twitter handle and the plug-in will automatically convert it to their Twitter URL. No need to enter URL.

Just thought I’d mention that I had this issue and solved it by checking that the blogs.dir folder AND ALL SUBFOLDERS, RECURSIVELY, were set to ownership by ‘apache’ and had 775 permissions.

This took some time to trouble shoot, as it turned out my host was only setting the blogs.dir folder to ownership by ‘apache’ and not its sub-folders. I had to specifically ask a second tech support guy to check the sub-folders for me before I figured this out.

‘apache’ needs to be the owner on apache machines, the rest should have the main ftp user as the owner (you may have to enable group permissions so you can still edit them)

I Hope this article I wrote helps: http://erikshosting.com/wordpress-tips-code/buddypress-avatar-upload-failed-fix/

I would post about this on the WordPress.org multsite forum:
https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

Since this is most likely a problem with your network settings after switching hosts.

I’m also seeing the same issue using WordPress 3.0 and Buddypress 1.2.5. Zero BP plugins installed.

Email gets sent, user clicks on it but still gets the activation code screen. Enter the code results in an error message about the code being incorrect.

It’s not a very good first impression.

Per WordPress licensing, plugins and themes really should be free and people should charge for support and customization. If someone is selling ‘support’ under the guise to sell themes or plugins and not giving support it’s their own fault if somebody releases the paid plugins to everyone.

The best way to go about it, in my opinion, is to release themes or plugins as a free version and then have some with paid support and more options.

Well the only reason I was setting my permalinks to /index.php/%category%/%postname%/ was because if I didnt ( if i would just set them to /%category%/%postname%/) then my whole site would break… I couldnt click on any other page with out getting a “not found” error.

Even when I set my perma linking to /%category%/%postname%/ my buddy press still goes to a “not found page”

Am I missing something??

I thought maybe updated my wordpress would do the trick so thats what I did last night… and still nothing… in fact now im just left with an even MORE broken site. I guess some of my plug ins arent working correctly with wordpress latest version.

if u don`t manage to rezolv your problem and u are tiered u can come at http://www.five-games.com and take a moment to relax by plaing one of the 4000 free online games ! is safe for kids too . hope to see u all there !

@jeherve – there are some exciting developments happening with bbPress, which should help you build your site.

A new version of bbPress will work better with BuddyPress to provide the one main forum solution you are looking for, backed up by all the advantages of the BuddyPress social platform for looking after the user base.

A beta of the new bbPress (installed as a plugin in your WordPress site alongside BuddyPress) is due around the middle of September. @johnjamesjacoby is leading the development.

Not sure on the reviews / voting, but there are bound to be some good plugins out there.

@johnwinch42 – I think it is a terminology problem:

Each page in a WordPress / BuddyPress site can have it’s own template, so for example a template for posts (single.php), for categories (archive.php), etc.. You can even specialise it further, so that different types of posts have different templates and so on.

BuddyPress extends WordPress in the same way, adding new template files for groups, activity, members, profiles, etc.

A theme is a collection of template files, CSS, and javascripts, that are used together to give your site its design, look and feel.

A BuddyPress site typically has one theme that contains the template files for both the main blog and the social network parts. Although it’s one theme, you can style each part uniquely (e.g. the main blog and social network can look different), because you have different templates within that theme for each part of the site.

Take a look at the BuddyPress default theme (it’s in plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default), and you will see all the separate template files, including sub-folders with the templates for activity, members, etc.

Your secondary blogs can have any WordPress theme you want: you simply install more themes, and assign them on a blog by blog basis to the other blogs.

Did you go to Appearance – BP Compatibility and then go through all steps to final page?

Try http://buddydev.com/buddypress/creating-the-sitewide-globalunified-search-page-for-your-buddypress-theme/
I got it to work. Just download the zip file towards the end of the post and follow the instructions.

@Thorsten that also worked for me…
When using buddypress how do you change it so when you click on “my account”, or any link for that matter, it calls out http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php/groups/ Mine is still defaulting to http://www.yourdomain.com/groups/ even though I changed the permlink settings in my wordpress dashboard

I found this fix and it appears to be working for me:

1. Open the index.php, save it to your theme as posts-page.php (or whatever template name you like).
2. Edit the newly created posts-page.php file and place the following at the top to create a page template:

`<?php
/*
Template Name: Posts Page
*/
?> `

3. Now scroll down in the posts-page.php to the beginning of the WordPress loop and just before the line “ add this one line of code “ Note: (5 == the number of post to show you can change this to whatever you want.)
4. Save the posts-page.php file.
5. In your WordPress/BuddyPress admin panel create a new page called “Blog” (or something similar) and select “Posts Page” under Template.
6. Publish page.

You should now be able to go to your Settings -> Reading menu and set a static page and select your Posts Page to show your blog posts.

Any update on this
