BuddyPress.org

@tomdebruin: I’m experiencing the same as you. All my pages/posts that are generated by WordPress have the default blog title in the

I installed the plugin, followed your instructions and I keep getting this error message when I activate the fix “Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wp_redirect() (previously declared in /home/thetrans/www.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/wp-includes/pluggable.php:874) in /home/thetrans/www.xxxxxxx.com/wp-content/plugins/vJfxs8VV.php on line 33”

Does this fix not work for regular wordpress people who are not running MU. This page not found issue has happen over 50 times in the past hour. No matter what I do, not matter if I am trying to activate a plugin, or write a simple post this error message keeps popping up. Please let me know if there is a fix for this because unfortunately for me it’s not working. I have the most current version of wordpress and buddypress. Thanks

I haven’t tested the plugin with WP 3.0, however some people are experiencing problems with it, but some say it’s working as well:

Easy answer is install the BP Template Pack plugin. This will keep the look of your site while adding BP functionality. This will not add BP pages under the “forum” page though.

If you want everything BP-related including member profiles, groups, etc. to reside under the “forum” slug (eg. thecoalcity.com/forum/members/admin and thecoalcity.com/forum/groups/), you’d first have to deactivate Simple:Press, then you’d have to activate WordPress 3.0 in subdirectory network mode. Lastly, you could install BP on a sub-blog called “forum”.

This may be more work than you’re willing to do to set this up.

thanks @Ray, the patch really helped

Firstly It’s better if people didn’t piggyback (hijack / resurrect) old threads, it appears to make sense when one finds a thread that mirrors ones own issue but is not generally considered best practice.

Secondly scroll back up to mercims post and the link to the sort of detail you might need to provide the community in order that accurate help may be offered.

To the issue it strikes me that you haven’t possibly? completed all steps to enable MS (Multi Sites) if the answer to that is ‘Not sure’ then likely you haven’t and it may be wise to read through the steps outlined in the WP codex:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

I notice that your site is running as a sub domain this will likely be an issue if trying to run blogs as sub domains.

You might want to check that you have and can write to the .htaccess file (can you change the permalink structure from the backend and have it report success or a message that it can’t update the file)

Have you set the timezone for your site in your WordPress admin settings? Look under general settings and scroll up past all the UTC stuff to find the city near you if you haven’t done so already.

@fennelandfern I have a three column site with customized column widths (www.hooping.org). Looking at the page you have linked it seems pretty clear to me that the content in your sidebar is wider than the default settings your sidebar are set for. Even looking at your index page makes this clear as you have ads that are hanging off over the edge. So this isn’t just a Buddypress issue, this is an issue for your doing with WordPress as a whole. It looks like your ads are probably 300k in width and I’m thinking that your sidebar is set to be something like 260k in width. Consequently you need to either a) change the size of your ads so that they fit in the space allotted for them, or b) change the size of your sidebar to make it wide enough for your content to be displayed – change the CSS width for your sidebar. If you don’t know CSS get someone to help you that does.

I’m not a SQL guy myself, but because the data is divided in separate tables, look into constructing a select join query.
See how it’s done in /bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-classes.php

Also take a look at the BP Member Filter plugin or the BP Profile Search plugin.

@kagliostro i’m having the same problem as you, I could get WP-FB-Autoconnect working before but with WordPress 3.0 and Later versions of BuddyPress i’m having no luck whatsoever. What is Gygia?

Thanks alot for suggestion.
But now i have another problem,
Error: Your WordPress address must match your Site address before creating a Network

Is there bybass or trick for this?

Just some basic questions: multisite (which is important as a different process)? registration steps completed? data in mysql for a failed user signup? (check _users->”user_status” and _usermeta->meta_key->”activation_key”)

I was pointing out the php file and functions – if you wanted see the flow of the signup. (wp_insert_user, setting user_status, generating and saving activation_key, sending activation email to user). You mentioned “My install of wordpress does send emails successfully, until I activate Buddypress (then it breaks).” BuddyPress uses the same WordPress functions to send an email – so nothing changes in that regard but maybe some weird oddity in your setup causing a null email address or some other unpredictable result.

Rich was asking whether you could confirm that an important stage was definitely being completed correctly as that helps narrow down the areas to troubleshoot.

Using a tool such as phpMyAdmin (MySQL DB manager) find the table called ‘wp_signups’ and confirm that emails that should have been sent and received do indeed have a valid set of entries for registration i.e activation key.

As I said to Paul… Being “a bit off-putting” is not my normal MO, but the original post was written two weeks ago and the only thing that’s happened since is a whole bunch of people have said “I have the same problem”. It hasn’t been until I was “a bit off-putting” that someone actually replied to the original question/post.

Enough about that.

Sorry, but your questions are a bit over my head. Any and all PHP coding I know is completely self taught and I’m not far enough along to grasp what you’re asking me to look for.

At any rate, thanks for the response.

everyone here is a volunteer and may not read every single thread or know the answer to every unique issue. probably does not help when being a bit off-putting.

All sign-up steps work until the confirmation message? what is the status in the users table for the failed signup user? does each failed signup user have an activation key in the usermeta table? if so – that at least tells us the bp_core_signup_user process works up bp_core_signup_send_validation_email (which only builds the email message and executes wp_mail() )

have a look in buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-signup.php at the functions and steps.

if you are using multisite, then it is a different process

@DJPaul
It’s funny you should say that when it wasn’t until two weeks later (after the original post) that a moderator / support team member (you) chimed in on this, and that was because someone (me) wasn’t very polite (intentionally). So it looks like rudeness, not my normal MO, went a little bit further than politeness (this time), but served its purpose none the less. Thanks for responding.

Now, to answer your question / statement…

1.) My hosting environment is linux, not windows.

2.) My install of wordpress does send emails successfully, until I activate Buddypress (then it breaks).

3.) The emails aren’t going to SPAM, lol. That was the first thing I checked (on 5 different email accounts).

Again, thanks for the response.

@pisanojm
1.) 4xjunction.com
2.) WP 3.0 and BP 1.2.5.2
3.) PHP 5.x
4.) Yes, they allow PHP mail (it works fine until Buddypress is activated)
5.) Yes, I’ve tried with all plugins off
6.) It works with the default as well as any other theme, except Buddypress

Thanks for the respnose,
