I’m becoming a fan of WP-Invites and you might want to try this…

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-invites/

It’ll allow you to dole out codes for users to signup and as far as tracing goes, I’d just generate one invite code for each existing member and it’ll store that invite code with the new user profile so that you are able to determine who the invitation was send from based on which user was giving the code. I’d even go so far as manually generating the code with the existing username in it so that you don’t have to go digging to determine whom signed up whom.

Invite Anyone plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/

I don’t think that plugin has the “tracing” ability you want though. You could bring it up to Boone, the plugin author, as a feature request.

@modemlooper….

I was thinking along the same lines.

do you know if this works, and if they get their own members

or using the same database of members.

I would like to experiment with this

and figure out how to really make it work.

If anyone has info or ideas please drop me a line.

@kylecassey…

you would just use the social features (the blog just comes with it) ; )

WPmu is really just one install with multiple blogs

but soon with WP 3.0 you’ll be able to do the same thing with one WordPress install.

Finally I got it working

Well first add the lines from this patch https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1426 to bp-core/bp-core-catchuri.php

and then go to bp-core.php and in line 95 put the code like this (note the index.php) $bp->root_domain = bp_core_get_root_domain() . '/index.php';

Well, also, I have a custom template, and in my navigation I have manually put the links in the header to look like this: <li><a href="http://yourdomain.com/wordpress/index.php/activity/" title="Actividad">Actividad</a></li> but it probably works also in the bp-default theme.

So, hope this help someone

@qbuster Well when you install this small fix https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1426 you can access links like wordpress/index.php/members (so thats something). But all the buddypress links remain being wordpress/members, etc.

So, I tried to change the slug as explained in here https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings/ to see if it works change members to index.php/members, but it returns the 404 error.

So any ideas on how to change the links on buddypress to include the index.php ?

open your .htaccess file in the root wordpress folder and put this on the top

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4

then try again. If you don’t have .htaccess file create one.

Try the automatic install from the WordPress admin plugins page:

http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/plugin-install.php

Search for BuddyPress, then install and activate.

What size image are you uploading? I have this weird thing where if I upload a square image, and it’s less than 150 px on any side, it gets all stupid and weird on me.

Also which WP 3.0 are you running? I have last night’s nightly and it’s working fine when I tried to use an image that was 284px by 240px and cropped it down.

The other thought is you may not have the image processing apps on your server (I don’t know if they use GD Image or whatever…)

That got me one step further, but then i got the RSOD -> There was a problem cropping your avatar, please try uploading it again

Ahh okay, Erich! Thanks for the extra details.

It could be an issue with the email address that the activation email is sending from.

By default, the activation email tries to use the admin email option in WPMU.

If that isn’t set, it uses something like:

noreply@domain.com.

Which could be causing the activation email to go to the spam folder.

Try using the following plugin to set the email address:

I too am running WP3 B1 with BP 123 and no issues at all. Avatar issues were solved by this change https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2317 (and by only uploading images that AREN’T square and are larger than 150px on their shortest side … Go figure)

I LOVE this plugin but I have to deactivate it because I cannot limit the size of the embedded YouTube videos without changing my defaults for my entire website.

I embed YouTube videos as my main posts and they are 620px wide (as set by Media Embed Setting in WordPress).. I can’t let people embed 620px wide Youtube videos in the activity stream as that is too big. If I decrease the Media Embed setting in WordPress, it decreases the size of my videos in my Posts.. which is not good.

I noticed some code in your config.php at the bottom that says:

“WORDPRESS SPECIFIC VARS

allows you to hardcode certain WordPress-only variables”

How can I hard-code these variables? Would this be how I could make the embeds smaller for the activity stream vs. the site defaults?

I am running WP3 B1 with Buddypress 1.2.3, no 1.3 that I’ve seen yet. Works well besides Avatar issues.

I think I am having the EXACT same issue as ajohnson.

I upload the avatars just fine. I am not using the network enabled code in WP3 and my avatars are not showing to crop. they begin at the custom directory files/avatars/1 … etc.

It was a fresh WP3-b1 install

Fresh Buddypress 1.2.3 install on top of it.

Try putting the code in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php.

I should add that this code is kind of a hack until BP adds some functionality to detect WP setups in subdirectories.

Also just wanted to add that this issue could already be fixed in BP 1.3 trunk due to the way BP now uses actual wordpress pages instead of a catch URI check.

If you’re using Thesis as the parent theme, you’ll have to enable BP support for your theme.

Two options:

1) Use the BP Template Pack plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

2) Manually add BP support to your theme.

thekmen has added BP support to a child theme of the Hybrid framework:

You can check out what he did as a guide.

captcha and math tools do not really help fighting spam.

spammer register manually and then feed your blog automatically remote via xmlrpc.

i am running a wordpress mu + buddypress site and had about 40 spammer-registrations a day with lots of spam. then i deactivated xmlrpc via renaming xmlrpc.php in wp-root, result was only user registrations (without content spam). about four days later spammer registrations were reduced from 40 to about three a day (easy to delete), seems that the spam-apps noticed that the rpc doesn´t work and deleted my site from their targetlists, entering their messages manually is to complicated for them….
