    BuddyPress needs WordPress MU to run. You are trying to install it on regular WordPress.

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    I’m still wondering how to merge the BuddyPress into my WordPress theme on my site.

    Did you do this step?

    “You can try including the components.css file from the BuddyPress parent theme to add layout styles to BuddyPress pages. Open up your WordPress theme’s style.css file. Add the following line below the comment header:

    @import url( ../bp-sn-parent/_inc/css/components.css ) “

    From the guide:

    https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/upgrading-a-buddypress-1-0-theme-for-buddypress-1-1/

    That will get you a bit further to styling perfection. The rest is up to you. I’m sitting and styling my website right now. Lots of fun and frustration. :)

    Hi again!

    Read this:

    “I’ve used a WordPress theme for my blog with the default BuddyPress member theme”

    Over at:

    https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/upgrading-a-buddypress-1-0-theme-for-buddypress-1-1/

    You’ll have to edit things and if you’re not comfortable with that you’ll probably need more help than you can get here. :/

    I don’t know your level of knowledge. Search around the forums and read up on the topics you need. I haven’t had answers to all my questions here in the BP-forums. You’ll have to search for some of them on your own.

    May I ask a possible dumb question? I’ve upgraded to 1.1.1 on 2.8.4a and am using a premium theme for my main blog. I’ve currently reverted back to the old BuddyPress theme system for now.

    Here’s my question, can I leave my Premium WordPress theme as the Parent theme, create a child, and place the bp-sn-parent folders and the “optionsbar.php”, “userbar.php” and “plugin-template.php” in the child theme? Also place header.php in the child with the appropriate code for the usernav bar? And then edit the appropriate css?

    Is that a workable and effective approach?

    Many thanks.

    Think of something like Usenet, which was basically just a group of people talking back and forth inside their own little forum. Since BuddyPress is a community centric, user centric plugin for WordPress, the focus is on the interaction between people inside their respective groups. Forums are currently a feature of groups, but forums could be a feature of other things later too if plugins choose to support them, since bbPress is included and a great example of an API exists within BuddyPress.

    Events could have their own discussion forums, blogs, users, activity feed items could be topics, etc…

    Give me the weekend to test a theory. This should be possible by setting the BP_ROOT_BLOG to be the ID of the blog you want it to be, but if it’s not working that way I need to take a look at why.

    You’ll want bp_enable_multiblog set to false. Setting it to true allows all subdomains to have access to the directories and profiles areas. This is mostly useful if you’re trying to use specific subdomains for specific pieces of BP, or if you want all blogs/subdomains/sites to have access to the directories from within themselves.

    If you take a look at profiles.wordpress.org, you’ll see how they have BP used there within a subdomain.

    I also think the better answer to your question would be to create a custom theme that only shows BP elements in the domain/subdomain that you want to show them. But, that takes a little more work I suppose. :)

    Yes, this is a WPMU question. Use what Mohit suggested or search the WordPress plugin repository.

    From a quick Google search it appears that, yes, WordPress slug titles need to be improved to support i18n efforts. All the WordPress slugs – including the BuddyPress group threads – go through sanitize_title().

    A patch for sanitize_title() to support i18n slug names for the WordPress core is the way to go. I don’t understand what’s required as I do not know much about i18n, so I’m leaving this alone.

    Greetings –

    Just need a little help here…I simply want to run BP 1.1 in compatibility mode

    and use a WP theme for my root blog and and a BP theme for BP activities.

    I do NOT want to merge the two. I have tried that, and my WP theme (Magicblue)

    is not suited for all the things that BP needs. Therefore would like to run things

    exactly like under BP1.0. I have this working on another system (WP 2.71/BP1.0).

    I am not clear as to which template files to move to my WP theme from the new

    version of BP. In the MERGE process I would move over “optionsbar.php”, “userbar.php”, and “plugin-template.php” and then move over all the subdirs from bp-sn-parent. What

    do I move over to run in campatibility mode? PLEASE some help…I have posted several

    times in these forums and do not seem to be getting any input.

    Thank you once again for your time.

    @wordpressfan I think you might be right for some kinds of communities, but as the groups functionality of BP becomes richer (as it does with, for example, Andy’s new External Group Blogs plugin), the groups/forums distinction won’t seem so arbitrary. Forums then become just one of the ways that group members (ie people who share a common interest or purpose) can collaborate and communicate. But you’re right that right now there is little difference between a group and a forum, at least functionally speaking.

    I tried reading through and searching the forum before posting this. Unfortunately there isn’t a detailed description of everything for BP like the WordPress Codex, its a bit frustrating. Reading through the code usually works but that takes a lot of time and coffee :)

    https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-discussions/buddypress-forum/ that link doesn’t really say much except describe what the forum plugin is all about.

    I have been playing around with the integrated forum and I don’t like the way you have to associate forums with groups and stuff. I want to have something like this forum on this site, like the standard forum structure you get.

    A forum with a root thread in which categories can be made and child threads can be started. Like what Vbulletin, Phpbb and SMF et al has.

    What I am trying to figure out is if its possible to do this with the integrated forums or should I go to the standalone Bbpress installation.

    Hello

    I have buddypress 1.1.1 with WordPress Mu 2.8.4a.

    When I try to add a friend says to me: ” The friendship cannot be tried ”

    That I do?

    it’s not hard: the plugin still exist.

    https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-latest-discussion/

    And works with 1.1 new forum integration. Even if not necessary because latest post appearing in the side wide activity. So the plugin is only interesting if you don’t use SWA or if you use a custom homepage or an external bbpress install…

    If you use it, don’t forget to set the right DB table prefix in the plugin option (default is bb_, but now it’s wp_bb_)

    select the forum you want to exclude, enter connection infos and that’s it !

    Have fun !

    Why don’t you try it youself?

    Because I know it’s on the roadmap, I think for version 1.3 – and I’m not really a programmer.

    Maybe taking feedwordpress as starting point could save Andy and others some time?

    I’ll look into this myself when I upgrade to 1.1, which is going to be a mess with all the amateurish hacking I’ve done…

    Ya. Haven’t played with them but it’s a cool idea. I assume it allows you to do “stuff” at those points in the code… i.e… run / insert something at those locations in the templates using a functions.php file. Pretty cool. WordPress has them as well.

    I found the upgrade instructions to be incorrect for older versions of BP to be upgraded. Not exactly sure which version I was running, pre1.0 I guess.. buddypress was in “mu-plugins” (that’s where we were supposed to put it back in the day right??)

    Anyways, I could not find anyway to “deactivate buddypress” – maybe I’m losing my mind.

    So I got stuck on that part.

    I decided to backup my install, then delete all the buddypress files / folders I had in “mu-plugins”, then upgraded wordpressmu to 2.8.4a – then uploaded newer buddypress into “plugins” – so far seems to work, not sure if I lost anything, or if I would lose anything doing this on my other buddypress site.

    Any suggestions?

    I suggest a not in the upgrade instructions for anyone attempting and older bpress version upgrade.

    I’m using feedwordpress, but this requires users to create blogs.

    What I’m looking for is external blogs plugin which Andy wrote for groups. That is exactly what I want, and suppose what most of us on this discussion is looking for.

    Wouldn’t this plugin cover what we need?

    It seemlessly merges posts from an RSS feed with other posts in your blog. If there was a way to selectively offer this plugin to member blogs, that would solve it for me.

    And perhaps some integration with Buddypress account areas to make it more idiot-proof; a field where members can enter their RSS feed, without having to go into the plugin back-end.

    Perhaps we should join forces, Boone but my partner in crime Brent Layman (westpointer) and I have a working plugin that does the same thing (albeit w/o the elegant options you have)

    https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypressbbpress-email-notification/

    Are you aware and maybe we can share code.

    Ok, one major difference I’m noticing when comparing my local install and my live site it their htaccess and wp-config.php.

    For example, my local wp-config.php reads:

    $base = '/wordpress-mu/';
    define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'localhost.localdomain' );
    define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/wordpress-mu/' );

    while my site wp-config.php reads:

    $base = '/';
    define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'blogs.empire-edutools.net' );
    define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );

    Does this make a difference to have the $base set?

    Also line #2 of my local .htaccess reads:

    RewriteBase /wordpress-mu/

    while site .htaccess reads:

    RewriteBase /

    I think this is typical, but just want to verify?

    I found this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/remove-buddypress-adminbar/

    I also copied and edited the plugin to deactivate the bar just for guests. Here is the code:

    <?php

    /*

    Plugin Name: Remove BuddyPress AdminBar For Guests

    Plugin URI: http://blog.netweblogic.com/php/wordpress-php/remove-admin-bar-plugin/

    Description: This plugin removes the admin bar completely from the public area of the website just for guests. Can be used either as a normal or MU plugin.

    Author: NetWebLogic LLC

    Version: 1.2

    Author URI: http://blog.netweblogic.com

    */

    if ( !function_exists(‘remove_bp_adminbar_guests’) ) {

    function remove_bp_adminbar_guests() {

    if (!is_user_logged_in()) {

    remove_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’, 8 );

    remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar_css’, 1 );

    function bp_core_override_adminbar_css_perblog() {

    ?>

    <style type=”text/css”>body { padding-top: 0 !important; } #wp-admin-bar { display: none; }</style>

    <?php

    }

    add_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘bp_core_override_adminbar_css’ );

    }

    }

    }

    // Start this plugin once all other plugins are fully loaded

    add_action( ‘plugins_loaded’, ‘remove_bp_adminbar_guests’ );

    ?>

    So the bloggers have two options, they can deactivate the bar only for guests or also for the registered users.
