BuddyPress.org

I am actually a fairly good code hacker – not a programmer, but I can go in and fix most things – and I’m a QA Engineer and I have to say that the buddypress codex that I’ve looked at so far is just about incomprehensible to me. To the point where I don’t even bother to look at it. It doesn’t tell me exactly what I need to know. It gives generic examples. I really need to sit down with a developer – unfortunately I can’t afford that luxury and am stuck figuring this out on my own. BuddyPress, and WordPress for that matter is not my be all end all, it’s a platform that should be usable out of the box – and neither one of them are.

Ending rant. Sorry – I’ve just wasted so much time on figuring this out – and I’ve gotten just about nowhere.

Deactivate BuddyPress. Make sure you can create a subsite with your WP install first. If you cannot, resolve multisite installation first before activating BuddyPress at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

Are you asking if you could change domain names for your site? Sure you can but make sure you back up database and server files first. Read the following as well –

== What’s the way to get back «Activity» as tab name instead of «Home»? ==

Using custom menu is the easiest way. If you’re using bp-default or child theme thereof.

@drmikelbrown The default theme did work with mine when I tested it after having those errors, so, you have a deeper issue. I purchased mingle It’s $40 and the ultimate theme to totally customize your website http://themeforest.net/item/mingle-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/235056 BTW, my htaccess file looks like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
php_value upload_max_filesize 16M
php_value post_max_size 16M

I have subdomains and not sub directories.

An update. I ran through a few tests this morning, with
`define( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2 );`

I tested on two kinds of MS installations: one with subdomains and one with subdirectories. In each case, I installed BP 1.2.10, then upgraded to 1.5. In each case, everything worked fine. The pages in the wizard dropdown were from blog 2, *not* blog 1. This is as expected; see https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5/bp-core/admin/bp-core-admin.php#L535

For now, I have closed https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3602. If anyone can give steps to reproduce (perhaps I’ve misunderstood something about the process), please do so on that ticket.
