Make sure that your WordPress installation is working before adding BuddyPress. Your hosting package must meet these requirements at a minimum. Also, as rich! @ etiviti ( @nuprn1 ) states, you can learn a lot about potential install issues by checking your server’s log files.

@angelfire4xx you install buddypress plugins like normal wordpress plugins – in the wordpress plugins directory.

Also, I have never used this plugin but I believe its functionality was rolled into Invite-Anyone https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/

Hi @urbanic, logging into a buddypress site is no different than logging into wordpress, so you can use any wordpress login widget you like. Start here:

Have bbPress 1.0.2, BuddyPress 1.2.4 and WordPress 3.0 beta running fine. Haven’t seen any problem yet.

Almost gonna do beta, so I’ll find out what problems will show up.

Not sure that 1.3 is that far off is it? not sure really, but I would hesitate running WP 3.0 and BP 1.2.4 on a production server.

It would be interesting to know what adjustments need to be made to enable BP to work with WP 3.0

NO I would have thought that it isn’t ever safe to assume anything!

I have WP 3.0 beta 2 installed to test, haven’t yet run BP 1.2.4 on it yet to see what’s what but don’t really expect it to fully function, BP 1.3 is the version that has to be waited on for production sites and then I would wait a while for any teething issue to be sorted out – look at the recent 1.2.4 issues that had to be resolved with a point release some 12 hours after release.

no problems here on various configs – disable all other wordpress plugins first? (maybe a conflict?) anything in the log files?

In the admin panel, I can only choose for English and Spannish. Is it possible to add languages? My default WordPress language is Dutch.

I also had this problem. Installing the plugin from WordPress is not working. I downloaded the zip and am going to try to upload using ftp later today.

@rich! This is with BP 1.2.4.1 and WP 3.0 beta-2 r14896. My server time is set correctly in WHM and it is also set correctly (and identically) in the WordPress options. Not sure where else I could check? PHP config?

We have a website built using wordpress (cacv.ca) – I was hoping the social networking part could be a separate tab so all that we currently have up would remain as is. Is that possible?

You’ll want to check out this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/ I think it will do what you want.

@r-a-y

Read the post and trie the code, no luck (see http://www.imbaalumni.com). I have posted my bp-custom.php file here, http://pastebin.com/M0NPB2Dk

I am running WP 2.9.2 and BP 1.2.4.1

Any help would be appreciated.

@fortrock6 Unfortunately there’s no straight forward and easy way to “fully customise” your site to look like a social networking site. If you don’t know CSS, you’re going to have to get your hands dirty and dive into CSS and learning how the wordpress and buddypress theme system works. Here are some links to point you in the right direction:

“I don’t understand where i can find “members.php” file.”
There is no members.php, it’s “members/index.php”
Go to your BuddyPress Theme folder and find the members folder, in it you will find index.php, that’s the one you want.

is ‘BP Member Filter’ plugin not compatible with wordpress 2.9.2 ?
The more pertinent question is, Is it compatible with buddypress 1.2.x. Unfortunately I think the answer is that unless you know some PHP and can figure out how the source-code works (Which I can’t), it just doesn’t.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-buddypress/ will help you part of the way

Try this:

@r-a-y — the gravatar is being pulled in on my bbpress profile page, but not int the actual posts themselves. This is occurring only for people who strictly have gravatars.

(And yes, I’m using the exact same email address for wordpress, gravatar, and bbpress.)

It’s possible, read this:
