BuddyPress.org

@DJPaul: I agree with you DJPaul, and I’m a hardened OSS supporter. If the ‘fees’ are small I feel like it’s more of a donation and I’m ok with them. I would be completely against things if the cost was more. But hey, people are allowed to make money from WordPress and it puts food one many people’s tables.

I can’t answer this whilst I’m at work, but I do recommend that you update your BP to the latest version ASAP. WordPress has itself been hit by a vulnerability in the last week which affects all but the latest version of the software.

The same idea applies to BudyPress too – upgrade frequently.

You are best off looking in the WordPress plugin directory, or searching or asking on the WPMU forums. This is not a BuddyPress. question.

You state in the thread that you link to above:

I had originally installed my wordpressmu under /wordpress-mu/ but then moved it to the root later.

By making that simple directory switch, you’ve basically changed your site URL structure and messed up the DB.

Read this entire WordPress Codex article, paying specific attention to the “Changing the URL directly in the database” section.

Always backup your DB before making any changes–installing new plugins, upgrading, altering code in files, altering data directly in the MySQL tables, etcetera. You never know when some seemingly trivial change might mess up your entire install.

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:

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.
