OK, done that. I’m now getting an error after the first creation screen, and this error in my logs

WordPress database error Unknown column ‘avatar_thumb’ in ‘field list’ for query INSERT INTO wp_bp_events ( , referer: http://domain.com/members/admin/events/create/

It appears as though the plugin isn’t creating that field in bp-events.php, I can’t find any reference to it anyway, and then in bp_events_classes.php, avatar_thumb and avatar_full have commands to have information inserted into them in the save() function.

I added the necessary lines to add those fields in the sql create and everything works…

Read through this WPMU Codex article on changing your site URL. It should provide the assistance you need.

You could make a custom login page with BP trunk like…

define('BP_LOGIN_SLUG', 'login');

function bp_show_login_page() {

global $bp, $current_blog;



if ( $bp->current_component == BP_LOGIN_SLUG && $bp->current_action == '' ) {

bp_core_load_template( 'registration/login', true );

}

}

add_action( 'wp', 'bp_show_login_page', 2 );

Then put a template file named “login.php” in your frameworks registration folder and steal some code from the buddypress login form to help with getting started…

There’s a few examples online on how to redirect the WordPress login page with .htaccess. Could give that a shot too?

@Mariusooms

– can I have a Group-Blog instead of the BBPress-Forum ?

– I would like to disable User-Blogs for each single user, but instead have a Group-Blog using P2-theme. Does this work with your plugin ?

– Is your plugin compatible with BP-version 1.1 ?

– what is the difference from your Group-Blog-plugin compared with the one from Burt ?

Many thanks,

Are you using the BuddyPress Skeleton Component as the framework with which to code your plugin? If not, you should download it and see how the example code that adds an admin page to WPMU’s backend is written.

The example code is in bp-example-admin.php.

Is there a series of tests that we can perform to make sure that the WPMU+Buddypress upgrades have completed without any damages? WordPress says all upgrades went off well but I am still concerned about finding problems later.

You might want to try the Maintenance Mode plugin at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/maintenance-mode/

When it’s ready, it’ll be available through the BuddyPress/WordPress theme repo, so everyone can have at it.

You could modify the home.php file and rip out all the extra code. Home.php will always act as the front page of your website, regardless of your WordPress settings.

Thanks for the info! I’ve verified that all my Keys and Salts are the identical, and double checked that the deep integration code given here (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddybar-in-bbpress/installation/) has the correct path.

I’m not sure where else to check for cookie issues.

I’ll look into the redirection plugins for my other issue.

Thanks!

Add your register_sidebar() functions code from your existing WordPress theme’s functions.php file to your BP Member theme’s functions.php file.

Then your WordPress sidebar should show up.

This is not a BP question, but a WP theme question! A quick Google of that function took me to https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages.

Five minutes reading revealed:

So, apply a style to .current_page_item.

I would try to prevent member registration through .htaccess:

If not .htaccess, then try WP Hashcash, but I prefer the simplistic method of blocking through .htaccess. This will block most spam signups, but of course you can’t block everything!

Thanks to Darcy Norman for the original tip!

Uhmm…while I do agree there should be an option to do so, your argument did made me chuckle as I don’t think a terror cell would need your network. Especially considering that you can download wordpress and buddypress free of charge.

I’m also struggling the same white-page-bogey. All redirection are fine but points to an empty blogs.dir directory. I’m just going to upgrade my faith. Other users blogs and comments are at least in the databases and once I solve all the .htaccess; blogs.dir ownership issues., it will show up one day.

BTW there is a WP redirection plug-in (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/) that promises to overcome the .htaccess. Would it be a common cure for rest of us? Would anybody help us generate a list/file of redirections that can be uploaded there?

I’m sorry to see the top contributors helping us (lamers) with the server configuration.

Would anybody code a simple system check (list) plug in that would help us (others) to communicate the issues to our host admins? I believe the community would more appreciate you guys to help us all with bigger issues.

I’m having a similar problem. Just did a fresh install with WordPress MU 2.8.4a and the trunk version of BuddyPress 1.1. Also installed bbPress via the WP admin panel. Went through all the setups for BuddyPress (General, Components, Forums), but when I go to the Profile Field Setup it tells me I don’t have any groups. When I try to add one, it returns the message, “There was an error saving the group. Please try again.” If I try to add a group directly via the site, I get the message (in a big scary red bar), “There was an error saving group details, please try again.”

I noticed that the database only has one table with the wp_bp prepend (wp_bp_activity_user_activity_cached). Another install I did (based on WMU 2.8.2, BuddyPress 1.0.3, and current bbPress) resulted in a database with a gazillion wp_bp tables. Is that the problem, and if so, how do I get those tables? And if not…wassup? Having groups is kinda the point, after all.

Otherwise, I’m looking forward to skinning the new template framework (ONCE, rather than twice). Thanks for your patience with a relative BP newbie…

If you’re just looking to post video code, there’s plenty of video embed plugins for regular WordPress that work just fine in MU.

this is one I use often:
