BuddyPress.org

A note on this. may or may not be relevant.

Have two test multisite installations both with subdirectories and both with bp installed on a subdirectory via wp-config -define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 14 );

One (say A) I left BP on 1.2.9 and then on 1.2.10.

The other (say I was continually updating via ftp to server with the trunk version right up to 5176 (which btw is labelled 5175 on trunk page). here the bp subdirectory is (define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2 );

B is fine up to now with 5176

To-day, once 1.5 was made official I tried updating A in the normal fashion via the WordPress.
disabled plugins etc

Went to Wizard but the references to the bp pages are all for blog id 1 not to blog id 14 and if i go to the pages via browser I get Error 404 – Not Found

Hope this is of some use. Thanks for all the work you guys have done. Is there any remedy for Site A (not urgent).

Glad to hear it

`Its unfortunate that BuddyPress was set up this way`

I agree. We’re working toward a solution that will allow for both sitewide forums and group-specific forums. This solution has been delayed by the impending release of bbPress 2.0 and the long BP 1.5 dev cycle. Now that both of these milestones have passed, we will be able to work toward a more flexible forum solution. You can follow that development on tickets like https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3598

There was no BuddyPress 1.3. See https://buddypress.org/2011/07/buddypress-1-5-beta-1/

Did we AND WordPress remove backpat for that function??

How is this related to BuddyPress? It seems, it’s supposed to be posted on wordpress.org forums.

BTW, do we have featured image on BuddyPress? Am I missing something on 1.5 new features?

An old version used to bypass WordPress registration process, so logins via Janrain could create accounts on my wordpress/buddypress. But latest versions fixed this problem (since It’s sort of a security hole). Since then I stopped using it.

If the plugin works for WordPress, so does BuddyPress.

Josh, thanks for the link. It mentioned: “If you’re using any other conventional WordPress theme (TwentyEleven, BP-Default) and find the default template layout of bbPress acceptable, you don’t need to do anything at all – it should just work.”

So the message in Appearance isn’t an error just informational. I’ll just ignore it then.

Why do you have BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG enabled? Do you really need it? (You only need it if you are going to be using a BP theme, with groups, members, etc, on more than one blog on the network.) If you comment that line out, I bet your wizard will start working.

That said, the fact that it doesn’t work for BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG could be a bug. I’ve opened a ticket so it can be checked out. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3600

@MajinSaha Hi. Did you complete the Install Wizard after activating BuddyPress? What type of server are you on (linux, windows)? Does your existing WordPress site use permalinks with “index.php” as part of the URL?
