congratulations. The struggles paid off.
I attempted to install the W3TC plugin again today and I was suddenly getting the memory error again. I spent several hours discussing the issue with my server support rep and he was finally able to fix the issue! He never divulged exactly what he did to fix the problem, but I really didn’t care much anyways because the problem was obviously on their end and it was not the fault of the plugin. So I finally have W3TC up and running on my site!
WOO-HOO!!! 
Now to figure out how to configure it properly…
So… It’s not really “update”, but more of a “Change” to the permalinks. I had them set for day and name already. I get this on any link or button that is clicked:
The requested URL /wordpress/activity/ was not found on this server. 404 error.
Maybe something installed incorrectly? It’s a fresh install.
The version number is at 0.57.
Plugin checks are done every 12 hours (I believe).
You can always do a manual overwrite.
This works the same way as if you registered from within WordPress. If I remember correctly, WordPress purges unactivated sign-ups after a certain number of days, but I will need to research this to make sure.
Can you give me an example? Chances are this is for readabilities sake. There shouldn’t be any /extra/ spaces anywhere. The WordPress coding standards do ask us to put spaces in before and after such things as closing and opening brackets, after commas, and things like that. The BP code isn’t minified in anyway, and we’ll probably look into doing that for CSS and JS in future versions, but the PHP code will continue to stay the way it is.
“–notification when using @mention in wordpress side (blog, comments, etc.)”
@intimez i’d imagine easy to set that up – just reuse the notification/atmention functions and hook it into wp. – the comments already hook add_filter( ‘pre_comment_content’, ‘bp_activity_at_name_filter’ );
please add for topic
–notification when using @mention in wordpress side (blog, comments, etc.)
–wordpress type moderation in buddypress (blacklist, admin must approve, author previously approve, etc.)
–buddypress import/export backup
Simon –
Have you gotten a response to your post about – Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /web/sites/wordpressmu292/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 488.
I’m having the same issue.
There is no problem.
1. Turn off everything (all plugins sites).
2. Delete bp-default and bp-sn-parent
3. Delete old buddypress
3. Install version 1.2.5. (Or 1.2.4 if you want it).
4. Install Buddypress Sitewide activity Widget plugins
5. Install BuddyPress Widget Theme 1.2.1 by modemlooper
6. Enable rest
See other plugins that are compatible with version 1.2.4. (Download the latest versions).
I have had:
– BuddyPress Group Documents
– BuddyPress Links
– BuddyPress Sitewide Featured Posts
– BuddyPress Album+
– BuddyPress Sitemap Generator
– Facestream
– FeedBurner FeedSmith
– FollowMe
– JR Favicon for WordPress
– Lightbox 2
– Post videos and photo galleries
– SPNbabble
– Tweetstream
– WP Google-buzz
I did upgrade to four sites with thousands of customers and have not had any problems.
Make it a battle plan that does not look anything changes from the old buddypress and everything goes well and is ok (you will not lose anything).
hey I looked in firefox and I see some css that looks like what you’re talking about, however, when I go in to my wordpress css file, I don’t see that code. Where is this BP css file normally located, I’ve looked everywhere.
Thanks for your help!!!
Just a reminder that the biweekly BP Dev Chat is tomorrow at 19:00 GMT — for all you Norteamericanos, that’s Wednesday, June 30 at 15:00 hours EDT (3:00 pm east coast time).
Please post your agenda items here. See the OT for information on how to join in the chat.
I just spoke to my server support again because I figured out that the PHP setting for memory_limit was set at 32M on their end and no amount of .htaccess hacking could bypass that. I politely asked if they could increase the limit for me to 128M and they wound up setting it at 256M! I’m so lucky to be working with a hosting company that’s willing to do that for a shared hosting cheapskate like me, lol. The company is Servage by the way in case any of you are interested. If you go to them because of me, be sure to use this referral link so I can get some free months and some extra space for referring ya! Hope I didn’t break any forum rules by posting that. Feel free to edit that out if it does. Anyways… I’m going to install W3TC again tomorrow and I’m betting that it’s going to work this time.
@mercime thanks, know it’s slightly confusing.
In reality we are converting the current BuddyPress theme to our WordPress theme & enabling BP features on that.
Will revisit the tutorial soon and see if I can explain any better.
Hope it helps for now though…
@thekmen From my point of view though, it looked more of converting WordPress theme to BuddyPress-compatible theme In any case, great job on the tutorial. Cheers.
Why would I not? I like the fact that it is all integrated, wordpress, buddypress, and a messageboard. I wanted it to work like a regular messageboard, but when they start a new thread or comment in a thread it shows up their buddypress stream the way it does when you comment on a blog post.
I don’t use buddypress yet, I am waiting until I can get things to work the way I want.
You’ll need to ask the authors. Visit the plugins homepage and post your question there.
I am getting all of these errors. Any idea what’s wrong?
PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent in wp-content/plugins/forum-attachments-for-buddypress/image.php on line 69
WordPress database error Table ‘xxxxx.bb-attachments’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT * FROM `bb-attachments` made by require_once, require, do_action, call_user_func_array, bp_forum_attachments_check_installed
Wordpress 2.9.2
Buddypress 1.2.3
This happens just as soon as they click “register”.
Hi Peter,
I totally agree with you !
The bbPress should be skipped and we need more User-Management and Privacy build into BP.
Would be great if you could write your ideas and suggestions into this thread:
http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/
“… just because buddypress or wordpress or whoever develop new features for an application doesn’t mean you are forced to use the new features. You don’t have to install the forums …”
The topic of this thread was about removing groups from forum. Groups imho are a natural part of a social networking architecture. Forums not so much. Most of the questions on this board these days are about forums/bbpress. That seems also where most of the developers attention is going, while there is almost no progress on what should be the core of a social network script for WordPress; member management, privacy/security, making BP WordPress 3.0-ready, etc.
Talk about “dropping rigidity and opening up to an amazing new flexibility and power” is pure nonsense. I’m not a programmer myself, but have you looked under the hood? Have you looked into the database? Do you know how BP is structured? Software can’t be all things to all people. It will never make you ice cream sundaes. Sure it’s nice to have built-in features, but there is always a trade-off. In Buddypress’ case it is growing structural confusion. Where would you draw the line?
I’d prefer a leaner core, a script that only adds social networking to WordPress and does it well. Integration with bbpress should go via WordPress, not as bolt-on to BP. Ideally WordPress would have an API that would make the members database just as easy to integrate with PunBB or phpBB if I wanted to.
I think there should be some kind of separation for the anonymous commentors, common sense stuff though, like they could comment on forum/group posts, but not on a personal update stream or whatever.
@Peterverkooijen just because buddypress or wordpress or whoever develop new features for an application doesn’t mean you are forced to use the new features. You don’t have to install the forums or allow user blogs.
