BuddyPress.org

@1stAngel @MrWiblog my bad, the version of the Secure Invites for WordPress MU working in my WP 3.0 installs is Version: 0.9.6. Strange that that version in not in the other versions page of the plugin
In any case, here’s the code of the plugin I am using. http://wordpress.pastebin.com/LD2vL9rY

Yes, 1.2.5.2 is correct.

Trunk (1.3-bleeding) is many months out of date; I’d strongly recommend you switch to the 1.2 branch, trunk is not recommended right now.

It has activity set to front page. Go to dashboard menu General > Reading and there you can change the front page display -select ‘static page’ set ‘Activity’ as front create a new blank page named ‘News’ ? and then select that page to display posts on.

RE: https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/ticket/906

I’d love to know why this doesn’t affect everyone on IIS.

We have to try to get things to work for 80% of our users; if we encouraged people to edit the default theme or any of the core BuddyPress files directly, most of those people are going to come back and complain when we release a new version of BuddyPress because they won’t understand what’s really happened.

Theme developers of course have two options — either as a child theme, of BuddyPress’ bp-default or one of the many other theme frameworks, or as a seperate/existing theme with the BuddyPress template files copied in. Both have their disadvantages and advantages.

Just tried to register on your site and I get a white screen after hitting submit.
Please deactivate any plugins other than BuddyPress (if you haven’t done so already).

Are you able to access your server’s error log? If so, there is most likely a message in there. It would help if you could paste the contents of this log here.

Also you say you upgraded to WordPress 3.0. Do you experience the login issue you noted in point #3 with BuddyPress deactivated?

@thekmen I’m just one of the people that think themes should be completely separated from the plugin the same way they are separated from WordPress. Trying to reduce everything to one theme with a bunch of child themes is only going to slow down development and discourage people from appreciating Buddypress. I mean look how few themes there are, one theme with with a couple color alteration child themes and now people are excited just to be able to use the generic WordPress default.

I actually prefer this not being a child theme because I’m not a programmer and don’t know enough to write a theme completely from scratch, and this WordPress default is the most basic sandbox like template to start with.

I think it is an inherent difference between front end and back end developers. You guys don’t care what it looks like as long as the programming is constantly up to date and I don’t mind if I miss some updates as long as its designed well. You guys try to plan for every possible scenario and I design to make things as customized as possible. I have a million ideas of things I want to do designing a theme for a non-profit I work with, but I’m not always certain about writing the php to get the functionality on track so I post on here about it. Instead I get front end advice, suggesting I write an entire plugin for something that can be accomplished with a line or two of html and css, just to keep the plugin pure. Neither extreme is the answer, I’m just saying it is a bit lop sided right now.

1) https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-email-login/
2) no plugin exists
3) there might be a plugin for this… though I’m not 100% sure.

The code I posted above should allow you to do what you mentioned.

Youtube videos in forum posts for all users can be done with the oEmbed for BP plugin.

Same problem

If you’re the admin of your WP site, you should see a “My Blogs” menu in your BP admin bar (located at the very top).

Mouseover this menu and find a link called “Dashboard”. Click on that and you should be good to go!

Welcome to BuddyPress!

First of all, are you installing a fresh WordPress install with no prebuilt theme? If so, make sure you have BuddyPress activated, then in the WP admin area, navigate to “Appearance > Themes” and enable the “BuddyPress Default” theme.

You will need to create pages (in your wp-admin backend), and perhaps design bespoke page templates (html / php) if you want to enhance the basic layout of these pages. You would then implement your navigation menu to link to these pages.

This is WordPress rather than BuddyPress specific, so you will be best to visit the WordPress help pages:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages
https://codex.wordpress.org/Templates

you’ll have been sent an email with an account activation link, clicking that will activate the account and enable you to log in. (I have just done this myself using my WP3.0 test install).

There are tons of different code edits in here. I am wondering which I should use for buddypress with multisite wordpress 3.0 and where to put it. I made my own bp-custom.php file, but it doesn’t seem to work. Is this file suppose to exist already? And if so it didn’t appear on my installation. :p At least not in the path wp-content/.

Thanks for your help.
