BuddyPress.org

Hi JJJ, what are obviouse reasons to upgrade, iyo? I’m not quite up on the latest between 2.8.4a and 2.8.5.1. (Off the top of your head.)

Found similar issues on the osCommerce forums related to javascript uploaders for images, and in the WordPress.org forums for the WP media Library’s flash uploader since v2.5

Although I’m not tech enough to solve this issue, it does absolutely appear to be related to the javascript cropper for uploaded images ….. AND NOTHING ABOVE HAS FIXED IT FOR ME

Please don’t trot out the “start your own thread” instruction – there is too much of the above posts that are pertinent and the problem is not resolved.

…. or do you want the same situation as the WP.org forums that have hundreds of report threads about this error? None of them resolved other than to point at the WP plugin to use the “no flash uploader” plugin.

@Xevo:

Andy has installed on the codex a very quick and simple way to modify the individual pages of the codex. It’s a customized setup of sorts, but it’s really just another WPMU blog that everyone has the ability to edit.

In future versions of WordPress (probably 3.0) posts will become more robust and be better suited for something like this. Until then the codex is basically just pages and sub pages with a theme that knows how to make sense of the hierarchy.

I’ve marked this topic as resolved as it’s not a BuddyPress issue and we have helped as much as we can.

1and1 seem to have issues with WordPress MU. If anyone else uses 1and1 and has problem, search this forum for previous topics.

In my experience loading anything on to the wordpress.org/extends/ that isn’t release-ready is asking for trouble and will only give you threads of people saying why isn’t x working, etc.

hi korban

I had worked on the same concept and came out with my own plugin.

You can download it using the following link

http://www.thinkinginwordpress.com/download/bp-auto-activate-user-and-blog2.zip

Upload it to wp-content/plugins activate and it will remove the confirmation email.

It works with buddypress 1.1.x .Please note it will not work with buddypress 1.0.3

Hope it helps.

thanks

Am having the same issue but it reports there was a problem saving the uploaded file – am wondering if it’s a permissions issue, or if it’s a fall-over from WordPress Media Manager where the flash uploader simply refuses to complete the operation for some host configurations, and the “No Flash Uploader” plugin is then needed.

Really would appreciate some input from the devs on this one.

Your best bet is to delete /plugins/buddypress/ and then visit yoursite.com/wp-admin/plugins.php. Then change the theme back to the WordPress default (Kubrick).

You can then reinstall BuddyPress and reactivate the BuddyPress theme. You won’t loose any of your BuddyPress database data doing this, though I recommend making a backup of your database with phpMyAdmin as a matter of good practice.

I’m having the same problem. I will provide as MUCH information as I can per the list.

I’ve moved the BP themes to the wp-content/themes directory.

This is the third clean install of WPMU and BP (including new SQL database, etc).

I host with 1and1, so I’ve had to add a .htaccess file to the root directory to change to php5.

1. Which version of WPMU are you running? WordPress MU 2.8.4

2. Did you install WPMU as a directory or subdomain install? Directory

3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? It is in the root, however the root URL itself is a subdirectory.

4. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU? If so, from which version? No.

5. Was WPMU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress? Yes.

6. Which version of BuddyPress (BP) are you running? Version 1.1.2

7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? No.

8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? No.

9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? Yes.

10. Have you modified the core files in any way? No.

11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php? No.

12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in? BP came with an install of bbPress installed (I think).

13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files. My site is hosted by 1and1. I don’t think they provide log files.

Please help! I’ve read and read this forum and there doesn’t seem to be a definitive solution anywhere.

If I set a forum in a hiddend BuddyPress group it will be hidden in BBPress too?.

@sacom, not necessarily.

Look into Burt Adsit’s bp Groups plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bpgroups/

This is what I’m using on BP < 1.1 (yeah I know I got to play catch-up!)

I’m not sure how compatible it is with BP 1.1+…

tcesco, I recently ported over a version of the more general bbPress attachments plugin by _ck_: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/forum-attachments-for-buddypress/. The downside is that I haven’t yet gotten inline images to work, which means that people can upload and download images but they don’t appear as images in the posts (just downloadable file links). Thus it might not work for your purpose, but it’s worth a look.

I´ve got exactly the same problem. I´ve got a fresh install of WPMU 2.8.4a and BuddyPress 1.1.1, no separate bbPress as I thought BuddyPress would perform that install for me.

This is what I get:

====

bbPress forum integration in BuddyPress has been set up correctly. If you are having problems you can re-install

NOTE: The forums directory will only work if your bbPress tables are in the same database as your WordPress tables. If you are not using an existing bbPress install you can ignore this message.

====

When I try to post a new topic in any of the forums I get:

“There was an error when creating the topic”

So I guess bbPress isn´t installed after all?

By skeleton theme, do you guys mean bp-sn-parent?

I tested my site with ie7 and ie8. I could not recreate the issue of the home page left column appearing below the middle and right column on my site (but I did observe this behavior with ie7 on buddypress.org). No other issue mentioned above was observed on my site (except for the one noted below). As I mentioned, I did see this behavior on a public computer/kiosk using IE (given my comments below, it seems more likely that it was ie7).

You can see (or at least I can) a similar issue regarding the left column loading below the right column when using IE7 at http://buddypress.org (this site). Visit the ‘About’ and ‘Demo’ links (not the actual demo site). There are only 2 columns but the left appears under the right column with ie7.

The one issue I was able to recreate on my site was the floating submenu when using the WordPress Default 1.6 Blog Theme. No problem with ie8 but with ie7 the buddybar submenus under ‘My Account’ or ‘My Blogs’ float to the right. I logged into http://testbp.org and created a blog with the default theme and found the same behavior when using ie7.

I don’t think my specific site offers any insight since the issues that can be recreated are evident on buddypress.org and testbp.org (when logged in and using the default blog theme). I find it curious that others aren’t reporting this behavior as it should be easy to replicate.

If you haven’t already, copy bp-themes/bp-default and /bp-sn-parent to the normal WordPress theme directory (/wp-content/themes).

/wp-content/bp-themes/ is for a previous version of BP themes. Unless you know why you might still want to use it, make sure that /wp-content/bp-themes/ does not exist (i.e. delete the folder) else BP will get confused.

Activate the bp-default theme, put it on your main WPMU blog and it should work.

EDIT: Jeff won!

I’m afraid if the developer of that plugin is not responding to your questions, then that may very well indicate that they have stopped supporting the plugin. You should post (if you have not already) on the WPMU forums and see if anyone has information.

Perhaps someone there may know of an alternative or will adopt the plugin and bring it up to code. Make sure you mention that you want to use this plugin in BuddyPress.
