thanks..so if I’m using, say, carrington-blog for my wordpress home theme, then it would go in the carrington-blog directory? If so, I just tried that and it always results in a page not found. Am I doing something wrong? Note, I have the code in the functions.php file (which is in the carrington-blog folder) and the file it points to in that folder as well – as per your instructions…thanks

From the topic you referenced, it sounds like you moved the location of your WordPress files.

It seems harmless enough, but it can cause a whole world of hurt (like you’re finding out now.)

Sadly there isn’t a magic reset button to make everything go back into alignment, so chances are that to get things up and running you’re going to be debugging and manually editing some database entries.

If keeping your existing data is important, and you’re in over your head, then it’s time to hire a professional to snoop around and see what they can salvage.

It definitely gives a nice little added polish to the widgets.

If you’re familiar with Trac, SVN, and the WordPress Coding Standards, you could give a go at creating a patch to have stuff like this implemented into the core for you, to your credit of course.

If you’re not familiar with the above but would still like to see these changes make it into the core, send me a PM and I’ll put together a patch for you using your plugin.

I take it you’d like to have a better integration between the bphome and the bpmember themes right?

All of this is going to be included in the September 1.1 update as Andy is implementing WordPress’ child theme possibilities.

BP 1.0.3: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bpgroups

Future versions: forum integration method has changed totally, I’m not sure and I haven’t tested if the above is still necessary.

Hi all

I’m experiencing the same two issues ( alphabetical list does not list any users, and the message ‘No members found. Members must fill in at least …..’)

The member search facility on the Members page also does not work for me.

Using WordPress MU 2.8.4 + BP 1.0.3. Clean install, have never re-installed or deleted anything off the site yet.

One thing that ‘may’ make a difference is that I’m running Normal WordPress as my main, publicly viewable site, and the WordPress MU in a subfolder off the root. The database table names are different though, so I doubt there’s a conflict. For the standard WordPress install I used ‘wp2_’ as the table prefix.

Glad I could help out!

BuddyPress 1.0.3+ requires WordPress MU 2.8+

This is the best post I have seen on the subject.

Until you posted this thread was 8 months old. You can localise BuddyPress in the same standard way which you do WordPress. I am aware someone has a new plugin in the works which, despite me not fully understanding what it does, sounds like it will be useful to run multilanguage BP sites.

In the interim, however, I’m closing this thread. If you want to continue to discuss any specifics please find a more recent thread or start a new one.

I don’t think anyone has tried anything like BP-Mu, and I am very doubtful that the internals would support such a thing without serious hacking.

BuddyPress *does* use the existing WordPress user tables/routines, etc. I have no idea what you mean by “separate user system.” You can just remove the BuddyPress /register files and use the WPMU user registration.

There’s no guarantee BP 1.1 will be released next week. Soon, but I’d advise not getting your hopes up.

As far as I’m aware, there’s no issues with running BP on a blog ID other than 1. If you want to be certain, download the current trunk copy and test it out; it’s not too late for bug fixes to go in.

If their content is from another WordPress blog, then it is possible.

You’ll want to look up WordPress to WPMU guides.

Here’s one that I’ve used in the past:

Looks like there is a WordPress URL hack going around:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/307660

Otto over at the WP forums suggests to upgrade as soon as possible, but I haven’t seen any reports on the WPMU forums yet.

You can’t change the ID column in the wordpress users table as it’s an autoincrement field. MySQL might have some docs on the site if it’s possible to inflate it. Failing that, do a load of inserts / deletes and bump the number up

But before you do anything, fully back up your WPMU MySQL DB ( https://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database )

Hey gyonis,

For #1:

You’ll want to turn off blog registration and also set the default user role in WPMU to be “author”; that way everyone will be able to make a post on the root blog.

You can do this by going into your WPMU admin area and navigating to “Site Admin > Options”. Set “Allow New Registrations” to “Only user account can be created”. And set “Dashboard User Default Role” to “Author”.

For #2:

You’ll want to use some type of customized post screen plugin such as Flutter or my personal favorite Custom Field Template.

That should get you going!

You might also want to read this thread which talks about how to create a community blog.

The reason you have not found much on this on these forums, is because this questions are in WPMU’s domain. Have a search on their forums as these components aren’t provided or controlled by BuddyPress.

Yah… always best to use unordered lists for navigation. It just makes the most sense semantically speaking. Once you have your navigation being output as nested lists… there are any number of CSS/JS solutions to hide the nested lists and turn them into drop downs. The most lightweight solution is the old tried and true suckerfish menu… which is pure CSS with just a teeny tiny bit of javascript code to make it work in IE. But since jQuery is already included in WordPress… may as well go with something a little more fancy… with a mouseout delay… etc.

You’ve probably already tried removing and re-adding the Text widget, right?

The default text widget should always work… but you should check out the WordPress forums to see if anyone has a similar problem, since it’s more of a WP issue than a BP thing.

Do any other tags work besides P and BR in the Text widget?

One other thing to note is if you have any filtering plugins activated, that could affect the widget output, but it’s highly unlikely.
