Hi guys,
actually my team manage an internal community with around 100k users.
the system and the core are really old and we wanna change it with wordpress and buddypress for the social part
but we have a really large community, especially active on the forum and the groups!!!
do you have idea if wordpress and buddypress can manage so large numbers? can you tell me some best practices with these numbers?
my problem is that when I decide the swithoff/switchon I will have all the existent that will log on in 2 or 3 days and I fear a BIG fall down of the system for some query or script that explode the system when the 10k active user sign in 
thanks and best regards from italy 
does the Buddypress theme sit over the default WordPress Twenty Eleven?
No it doesn’t BP is it’s own unique set of files.
Thank you again for your response. I am well aware of how to create a Static Front Page, my problem comes when editing the theme for the /blog page.
Would I need to create a file that takes a standard page template and incorporates a look called page-blog.php and if so would this be placed in the Buddypress Default themes folder?
If the above is incorrect please could someone point me in the right direction, does the Buddypress theme sit over the default WordPress Twenty Eleven? So just to clarify, I am wanting to change the layout of the /blog page, I have tried editing most of the files within the Editor but it does not seem to replicate on the front end.
You can see an example of what I am working with (this is a dev site as the main installation is for a work based innovation blog):
http://area51.creativenerds.org/wordpress – Is running off the ‘HomePage’ page set within WordPress Reading Options
http://area51.creativenerds.org/wordpress/blog – Is set in the reading options as the ‘Posts Page’ this is the page I wish to change the style/layout of and add things into the loop.

If your site name in wordpress is mysite.commysite.com then that is probably what should be there.
To change it have a look at https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_title and https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/bloginfo
It’s never a good idea with software like this to run redundant versions and you would face increasing problems with other plugin etc compatibility and potentially security.
Maybe the theme can be updated, but It can be very hard for anyone to be particularly helpful with commercial themes unless they buy the theme to examine it….
You could try to get help on the theme’s support forum: http://support.stoodeo.com/forum/huddle-buddypress-amp-wordpress-theme – as non verified buyer I can’t even see the posts….
( or maybe: http://themeforest.net/item/huddle-wordpress-buddypress-community-theme/discussion/835549 )
If http://themeforest.net/item/huddle-wordpress-buddypress-community-theme/835549 is what you are talking about, then it looks like it may not have been upgraded for buddypress 1.5+
I have Huddle (theme) 1.7, WordPress 3.3.1, and Buddypress 1.5.4.
Is there a compatibility issue? Each time I try to add the Huddle theme to the wordpress with installed and set up Buddypress I get white screened.
Should I de-update any one of these?
FYI, I downgraded BP versions and results are followings (WP 3.3.1)
BP 1.5.3.1 – not working, same error remains
BP 1.5.2 – not working, same error remains
BP 1.5.1 – not working, same error remains
But my previous version was 1.5.1 and was fully working, so I’m thinking this was caused by WordPress core itself, not BuddyPress. I’m going to test by downgrading WordPress core.
I have tried. But when I view the page, it said not found.
Any other clues or suggestion?
#1) Yes, you would need to associate/create BP components with Pages. See https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/ and link to Installation Wizard
#2) You only need to install BP Template Pack to make your WordPress theme compatible with BuddyPress.
If you’re using bp-default theme OR child theme of BP Template Pack OR an explicitly stated BuddyPress theme, you need to deactivate BP Template Pack plugin.
This is not a BuddyPress issue. What happened is that you changed Site URL instead of the Site Title. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
To resolve this issue, please post at WordPress forums https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting
Hi, I am using WordPress 3.3.1 with Buddypress 1.5.4.
Whenever I create a new account(I`ve tried two separate test accounts) and go to my email to verify registration it sends me to my homepage. The verification link looks as follows
http://www.myswayspot.com/?key=5fe52bf2f614ef393d2cef3e44765415 and appears the same in the url bar but just displays my home page..could it be sending me the wrong url for verification? Please help.
Hello there,
Sorry to be a pain and I dare say this question has been answered somewhere but I am currently unable to find my answer under any of the search terms I have used.
Basically the issue I am having is that I have installed a brand new wordpress and buddypress installation. I have created a new page called Blog (/blog) and created a new page for a homepage.
Within the reading settings I have set the homepage to be a static page with the Blog pag as the News/blog posts page (forgive me I cannot remember the terminology it uses). Now all is working fine but I was simply wondering, what page/theme file I would edit should I wish to change the way that posts are displayed on the blog page.
I have gone through each file to no avail and cannot find what loop or template file the /blog page is using. Any direction would be great. Would it be a case of using the regular Loop from wordpress in a page-blog.php or can I edit one of the files already within the default buddypress theme directories.
I hope the above make sense.
My darling husband started up our webpress with buddypress (version 1.5.4 with template pack version 1.2.1) and a huddle theme (1.7).
Every time we try to run the installation of buddypress, our site crashes (plain, white screen) completely and my husband has to re-install wordpress from the main host interface because our wp also gets infected with the white-screen.
He’s left me to figure it out. I made an Alan Rickman fanpage html website once in 2000 and that’s about the extent of my web building skills, so please keep that in mind when trying to explain- I know a lot of you are super-savvy and I don’t always follow.
Many, many, many thanks!
I know the “Reply” button, but what “Quote” and “Complaint” buttons do you want? Something is getting lost in translation somewhere. Could you be more specific?
BuddyPress/WordPress versions?
What theme are you using?
What plugins do you have installed?
In what pages are the quotes and complaint buttons supposed to be seen?
Isnt working for me…. Maybe a bug?
Those highlighted pages should be in your WP page listings, you would need to tell BP to associate the component to a particular page by selecting available pages to use from the dropdon in the BP settings page.
How do i make this bar always visible also for guests?
BTW, I have WPMU with domain mapping installed.
Thanks
Hi All,
I have the following message after installation:
“The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages”
I want to ask where can I find those pages?
Many thanks!
Can you create WordPress Pages ok? What do your permalinks for those look like? Can you create BuddyPress groups?
