@Sadr – What is confusing you is the difference between a “release” build and a “development” build.
We are using what are called “agile software development” methods [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development ] to decide on features, build, test, and revise our plugin software all at the same time.
By using a concurrent versions system [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subversion_(software) ] every developer on the team has their own version of the plugin with the features that they are adding.
So when I say that something is “done”, I mean that it has been written and tested but has not necessarily been released yet.
Every few days, the developers merge [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_(revision_control) ] our code branches together, and create a “beta” release. We then post it on this forum to allow all of our stakeholders (you guys!) to test it.
After we are very, very sure that there are no bugs in the software, finally we post it as an “official” release on the WordPress plugin repository.
We must be VERY careful about the quality of official releases, because they are automatically broadcast to every current user of our plugin, and even the tiniest defect could crash *thousands and thousands* of people’s websites.
So, the version being offered on the WP plugin website is always many steps out of date.
We’re planning to do our next code merge on Saturday or Sunday and get the 0.1.7 beta out for testing on Monday night.
Considering that we’ve gone from *nothing* to this:

in ten days, I think we’re doing very well!

Hello Ray, I hope you’re around
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO Follow:
” Making Your Theme BuddyPress Compatible”
So, I can add support for BuddyPress to the existing “sliding door” WordPress theme that I have selected in marinprofessionals.com….they say it can be a straightforward process by following the setup instructions on the page…bellow is what I got:
Step One : Move Template Files
BuddyPress needs some extra template files in order to display its pages correctly. This plugin contains these extra templates, but right now they are in the plugin directory. They need to be inside your active theme directory to work correctly. First of all we can try moving them automatically, please click the button below to attempt to move the templates:
Step Two : Templates moved successfully!
The templates moved successfully! This is great news, BuddyPress templates are now in the correct position in your theme which means you can skip step two and move on to step three.
Step Three : Templates moved successfully!
Now that the template files are in the correct location, click through your site (you can come back to this page at any point). You should see a BuddyPress admin bar at the top of the page, try visiting some of the links in the “My Account” menu. You should find that BuddyPress pages now work and are displayed.
BUT
I don’t see the words buddypress on the website marinprofessionals… so I was hoping you help me see what I am doing wrong….
You should probably look at the “Auto Join Groups” plugin:
http://brentandmary.net/2009/10/24/bn-auto-join-group-plugin/
It does what you want it to do, but automatically from the admin area.
Haven’t tested this in BP 1.2 though.
Might want to contact the dev of that plugin if it doesn’t work.

Also it is quite easy to modify DJPaul’s Welcome Pack plugin to auto-join groups as well.
See my post here:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-and-buddypress-1#post-43925

Update:
Just came across a plugin called “BP Registration Groups”:
http://hardlyneutral.com/wordpress-plugins/
Purports to do exactly what you want, Bowe.
You could create one group that all people join when they register.
Use DJPaul’s Welcome Pack plugin for that:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/
Otherwise go the external bbPress route, and yes, you’ll need to theme it.
[EDIT]
Forgot that Paul changed his plugin so it sends out group invites, instead of auto joining groups.
If you want to make Paul’s plugin automatically join groups.
Change the following lines in the Welcome Pack plugin from:
groups_invite_user( array( 'user_id' => $new_user_id, 'group_id' => $group_id, 'inviter_id' => $group->creator_id ) );
groups_send_invites( $group->creator_id, $group_id );
to:
groups_join_group( $group_id, $new_user_id );
I should say I haven’t tried this, but it should work.
The change from @gian-ava to the bp-core-avatars.php file on line 389 corrects the problem when running a single installation of wordpress.
Thanks @gian-ava
Yeah ok looks like it might be his theme. https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/buddypress-widget-theme
Right now the theme is more important than the plugin so I will deactivate it. That being said who it gets sorted out so I can use the attachments in the forum.
Thanks for the help

Both Andy and I have recommended several times not to use his test version; he just submitted it to me as an example of how to make correct BuddyPress usernames. There’s only one version available on the wordpress plugins repository. The advantage? That everyone else will be using the real version, that if you don’t use the real version you’ll be running unsupported code along with all the bugs that I’ve fixed since it was produced, and that obviously the documentation on my site will reflect the real plugin, not unreleased debug versions.
Yeah it is kind of a hack, isn’t it? :p
Might want to post this in Trac:
https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket
Put something about using the blog URL vs. the WordPress URL for standard WP:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
I think the second method will do exactly what you want.
More info here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
I would do a backup of everything just to be extra cautious!
Hi kb,
The problem you are experiencing is a different issue than rossagrant was referring to. However, I think I’ve fixed your issue in the most recent (pre-release) version. Please visit this link:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/download/
And click on the “Development Version” link. After you install this newer version of the plugin (the version number is still 0.3.1) please let me know if your problem continues.
Also, Are you able to upload and view avatars? I’ve found most of the time this is caused by shared code between Group Documents and Avatars.
Thanks for giving the plugin a whirl, and letting me know.
Running WordPress 2.9.2, Buddypress 1.2.2.1 with using BP Group Documents 0.3.1 release and still having a link issue.
Example generated link for an uploaded document:
http://sitename.org/groups/actual-groupname/documents/wp-content/uploads/group-documents/2/1268852986-filename.ppt
What the correct link should be and where the file was uploaded:
http://sitename.org/wp-content/uploads/group-documents/2/1268852986-filename.ppt
The reference to groups/actual-groupname/documents between the sitename.org/ and wp-content/ is extra and causes the download link for the documents to fail.
Until this is corrected downloading a file by the link requires one to copy the link address and paste it to the browser and delete the extra information that gets included in the generated link. Not a one step function like the intention of the link to begin with. Look forward to seeing the next updated release.
Similar issue for me too. I’m running the latest BuddyPress template package on my normal WordPress install. The image appears correctly in the cropping section after upload, but the actual cropping tool doesn’t appear.

You should wordpress mu and buddypress because you want to social network (supports buddypress) and blog for every user (supports wordpress mu).
I relay need the functionality to allow users to upload documents to their profile to. I’ve been-trying to modify the Group Documents plugging, but unfortunately I don’t have enough wordpress/buddypress/php knowlage to do so. Is their a way I can hire someone to write the plugin for me?
Are both of you running servers with IIS? If so, it’s a server issue and there are workarounds/fixes: google for “wordpress index.php IIS”
New version! Version 1.2.0 just released.
Grab it over here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tweetstream/
* Better cron, now get tweets every 5 minutes, no more one profile visits.
* Ajusted filtering now if hashtag wanted add # to word.
* Short profile url fix.
* Now adds the #twitter tag on submit.
The easiest way to configure the php_value memory_limit is to create an .htaccess file in your root folder of your wordpress installation and pass the string into a new line:
php_value memory_limit 50MB;
This works fine for me!
I seem to be having the same problem and not sure how to fix it. I have the latest wordpress and buddypress. WordPress seems to be working just fine until I activate buddypress plugin.
The admin says that you must change permalinks to something other than default so I tried all of the other choices to no avail. I also activated the default buddypress theme but I get links like:
http://buddypress.kistenterprises.com/members/admin/profile/public/
leading to 404 errors when I have the permalink selected that looks like:
http://buddypress.kistenterprises.com/index.php/archives/123
Obviously I need to set up a custom permalink but not sure how to structure it.
Any Help? Thanks.

@etiviti,
Cheers!
I’ll release the plugin tomorrow when I’m at home and have the SVN access to upload to the wordpress site.
The only thing I’ve not added is ordered and unordered lists. so when enabling the buttons for the other you may want to take these out until at some point I can get that working?
it supports everything else though as well as the color tag.
Cheers

Thanks for the feedback, kriski. I have wondered about pagination myself. It is easy to add it (actually, it’s already in the code but I commented it out). But I don’t know how best to implement it. If you have 50,000 members, then paging through using WP’s pagination feature is going to take for-ev-er.
Maybe I’ll put pagination in the next version of the plugin, making the default number of members per page pretty high (100, maybe). Then in the future I’ll add an autocomplete like the one in https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/ so that admins have a way to find members even on an enormous installation.
I’m releasing an update to the the bbcode plugin – it’s not online yet but coming soon : https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/boingball-bbcode/
awesome! i’ll update my plugin to refer to this one – and an option to output the bbcode buttons too
mean I have to do …
don’t forget to remove the closing endif statement.

By the way, when you installed it, did you have to change any settings? Specifically, was “Disable Buddypress Filters” de-selected by default? It should be checked by default on WordPress (it is), and un-checked by default on BuddyPress.
If you just care about your BP data, export all database tables with “wp_bp_” prefixed in them, as well as the “wp_users” and”wp_usermeta” tables.
Preferably try this on a new install of standard WP with BP installed on a local testbox.
Then try importing the tables you exported above into your testbox’s db.
Disclaimer: This is all theoretical!
There might be a few things you need to manually change in the SQL export, but I’m not sure at this point.
Also, hope you’re not using user blogs on WPMU!
oEmbed for BuddyPress – works with activity streams and forum posts
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-buddypress/
Only works with BP 1.2.
