BuddyPress.org

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.

– Dashboard / Settings / General: check anyone can register box
– username has to contain small letters only

Have a look at this plugin and see if it will work for you
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/

Ok, the page navigation links work such as “groups” “activity” etc…
What isn’t working is in my admin bar at the top, I can’t go to like profile, or edit profile, and such. It takes me back the the root page of the site every time.

My setup is on a fresh install of wordpress 3.0 with networking enabled, the only plugins I am running are BuddyPress and since I am having the problem, maintenance mode. My hosting is done through http://www.site5.com

My WP 3.0 install is in the root directory of my public_html folder.

website is http://www.redsfancentral.com

Okay, just re-reading this again. I don’t think you should use bp_core_signup_user().
For your custom script, you can try using wp_insert_user() and then add in the extra profile information later.

Or, you can try using the Import From Ning plugin, which also works with CSVs:

@elizawhat – You need to finish your upgrade from WPMU to WP 3.0 properly.

Read and implement everything listed here:

That page makes quite a lot of sense once you start to understand actions and filters and how they work on WordPress. If you don’t, then it can be confusing. I’m going to add a note at the top that links to the WordPress page for Actions and Filters: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API

I’ve done something similar, however, the user I created I did by using the dashboard feature to create a new user. I could then login as that user. (Wasn’t quite sure what level to give them, mind).

I wonder if it sent you a confirmation email (you, in the user role, not you in the admin role) & your email system spammed it?

Have you tried creating one from the admin dash?

You may need to explain things in greater detail. Installed WP? and could you login in to the backend? before any plugins were uploaded; or had you managed to activate BuddyPress?

The error message you are getting is covered quite a few times on WP forums and the issue stems from WP rather than BP so you may like to look through a few of these threads for solutions?

Same thing with me BP 1.2.5.2 and wordpress 3.0

Can anybody give answer :: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/wordpress-3-0-buddypress-user-creation-problems/#post-62981

I re-read your post. There have been noted problems with IIS and BuddyPress.

Here are some solutions you can try:

If you have other query_post loops running on the page, you might need to reset the loop.

Use something like wp_reset_query(); after a query_posts loop or use a WP_Query loop, which doesn’t require resetting altogether:

Use a query_posts loop:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts

I’m quite sure that a plugin exists to do such a thing.
