Hi, there!
Last May, when I was young and inexperienced in the ways of social networking software, I started up a social networking site for homeschooled teens, using Elgg social networking software. Elgg worked out well for several months, but in the last month I’ve absolutely come to my wits’ end with it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice software. However, it’s just too hard on server resources and is using way too much of my limited spare time. After my Elgg site started repeatedly crashing due to overusing the maximum amount of MySQL connections alloted to me, I found out that I either have to switch to a different software, or purchase the $70 a month ‘VPS Pro’ hosting from my webhost. As you can probably imagine, a social networking site for homeschooled teens simply does not make enough money to justify a $70 a month hosting bill. For those reasons, I’m considering switching over to a software that’s not quite as labour-intensive/hard on the server. BuddyPress seems to meet these requirements, but I have a few questions before I can decide whether or not to use it.
First of all (and this is the question I wish I’d asked when I started with Elgg), would BuddyPress/Wordpress require VPS hosting, with only about 150 members in all and generally a maximum of five (though usually more like zero to two) users online at any given time? (Of course, I won’t mind upgrading to better hosting when my site gets larger, but for now I can only afford about $25 a month, maximum.)
Second, is there any simple way someone who’s not terribly skilled at PHP or MySQL (like myself) could import user data (i.e. member login data, blog posts, groups) from Elgg to BuddyPress? This isn’t extremely important to me, as my site members should be alright with moving their accounts over to a new site by themselves, but it would be nice if this were possible.

Lastly, is it difficult to learn how to make plugins and themes for BuddyPress? Would the documentation be very hard for someone who’s just a bit more than a beginner with PHP and MySQL to understand?
Thanks in advance for your help! I’m really liking the look of BuddyPress, and I hope it ends up working out for me!

,
I keep getting errors like :
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/saboodle/public_html/index.php:2) in /home/saboodle/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 866
I am using the newest versions of buddypress & wordpress. With the default theme.
These errors are not happening all the time , just when certain actions are done. The last two times is when a friend clicked on a link to my site from a message on facebook, and then again when I tried to update profile fields.wordpress version : 3.3.1

when i click on ‘Activity’, ‘Groups’, ‘Members’Hi all,
I know there’s a plugin for external authentication. Yes I am not sure if we would be able to use it in this case. Let me describe what we want to do:
1. External database that stores contact information including login and hashed password.
2. Local (by local I mean the buddypress one) that has all the post/replies/friendship requests/status updates etc etc information.Is is better to try and make WordPress authenticate in external database directly (SugarCRM in this case), no entry would be created in local db, and then somewhat attach that login and contact details to user in local db (wordpress/buddypress). My concern in this case is, how would buddypress know that x user in sugarcrm posted y and z on buddypress.
or would it be easier and safer to synchronize databases e.g. every couple of minutes?
So in the second scenario, all the information is created locally (wordpress) and sychronized with SugarCRM.Hello,
I’m looking for a solution that will automatically make me ( Super Admin ) an automatic friend of all my members ( including members prior to BuddyPress activation ).
I tried using: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-automatic-friends/ – but unless I’m missing something, it doesn’t work as I need.

I hope this topic hasn’t already been beaten to death, I’ve been scouring the internet for the last five hours (perhaps I’m using the wrong search terms?), and I haven’t found anything. Everything in my BuddyPress install is working fine, bar the width of certain elements. Is there a simple .css modification I can do, or anything to align these pages correctly? I installed BB Compatibility, I’m just having trouble grasping where and what I edit, the php code used for this skin is very mushed together, and difficult to sift through (bad coding if you ask me)
Here’s an example, I uploaded it to my gallery if it helps in resolving the issue:
http://archonsnexus.net/imagangaomic/index.php/Link-Pictures/widthproblemI would also like to add that I cannot crop avatars, I’m guessing this is a jscript issue? The cropping selector does not appear anywhere.
http://archonsnexus.net/imagangaomic/index.php/cantcropTopic: Forums Not Displaying
To whom can help,
I’m having issues when getting my BuddyPress Forums to display. I’ve created a menu for it and done all of the compatibility setup. Except when I click on the “Forums” on my header menu it just goes right back to my Home page. And when I type in the Forums page manually (or click through to it from my Admin page) it just goes to a completely blank page.

Zach GambleGreetings,
I’m starting to get the hang of how buddypress works and the possibilities are very exciting. But there’s one thing I’m not quite sure how to do.
In a way, it’s kind of like wordpress’ “featured content” capability. I’d like for certain people, probably people in admin role, to be able to “promote” certain buddypress activity, most often good/interesting forum topics, to show up on the site home page.
My original plan had been to just write new blog entries that had pointers to the promoted site activity. But I was wondering if there is a better way.
In a way, it would be like an “activity stream” kind of thing but it would be filtered by “featured buddypress activity” or something like that.
In fact one thought I had was to create a special buddycpress account, give it admin level access and use that account to label ceriain activity as a “favorite”. Then I’d grab the RSS feed for that account’s favorites and display it on the home page using an RSS feed display widget of some sort. I’m thinking that’s kind of a clunky solution, but it could be done.
Any other suggestions on how to select a subset of buddy press activity and feature it on the site’s home page as “featured content” / “featured activity”?
Recently i installed Buddypress on a new website which runs on WordPressMU. So far, all the pages like Activity, Groups, Blogs are there. However, i can’t seem to access the “My Account” Tab in the Buddypress Admin Bar. Every option i click under the drop down of the “My Account” tab bring me to a “Page not found”. What am i doing wrong? I am new to WordPressMU and Buddypress, please help.
