BuddyPress.org

Hi

in the next version of BP – 1.1 – themes work much more like WordPress. If you have your own local development install of BuddyPress, upgrade to the ‘trunk’ version.

Thank you for the response! I’m a total newbie at buddypress/wordpress mu/bbpress. Would you be able to provide some additional details as to how I can accomplish the 2 suggestions you provided, so I can head in the right direction? I’m not quite sure where to start. I’m using the bphome/bpmember themes.

Found something in the WPMU FOrums that fixed it temporarly for me: https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/9458/page/2

There’s a reason why the embed and object tags are disabled by default, Peter.

If you’re going to open up your BP network to any user, they can potentially exploit those tags and do all kinds of nasty stuff.

The Unfiltered MU plugin works for admins and editors in WordPress, but it depends what BP component you’re trying to use the embed/object tags in BP.

Burt’s solution is the preferred method.

Hello. I’m a newbie and just created a test site up with buddypress/wordpress/bbpress. Everything looks good. I installed this plugin and followed the directions. However, when I activate it, I get this error:

Fatal error: Class ‘BP_Group_Extension’ not found in /home/ieconnec/public_html/isocal/wp-content/plugins/bp-groupblog/bp-groupblog-classes.php on line 105

I’m running buddypress 1.0.3 and wordpress mu 2.8.4a. Any help you can provide will be much appreciated. I would like to be able to use this plugin.

The auto upgrader is not working in WPMU 2.8.2. Here is a fix: http://ocaoimh.ie/wordpress-mu-2-8-3/

Hi Guys!

I’m also having 2 niggling issues with this plugin. 1) If I’m logged out of wordpress AND bbpress, and I log into bbpress, the buddybar doesn’t change from the logged out status. If I click the login link on the buddybar through the forums and log in, it redirects me back to the blog homepage, not the page I clicked from.

Here’s what I’m running…

WPMU 2.8.2

Buddypress 1.0.3

bbPress 1.0.1

Thanks!

Getting out of a fix:

If you’ve tried updating Buddypress, but forgotten to update WordPressMU first of all… you are now facing the “Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Widget’ not found”.

You’ll also find, you can’t rewind your buddypress upgrade, and can’t update wordpress from the dashboard. You are stuck!

You could reach for your backup, but if like me, you got lazy and didn’t backup… you’ll be really pleased to know this link to a manual update process works, and you won’t lose any of your lovely data:

The steps for 2.8.3 also work for 2.8.4a

Hey Guys

This sounds similar to my problem. I have been trying to set up groups for a while now with no luck. Groups haven’t worked from install, which was something I though would clear up as I proceeded with integration, but no go.

It looks the page is trying to load an incorrect ajax url. It seems to be adding extra sub-directory to the path name.

I checked and rechecked the wp-config file with no luck.

Attempts to add new profile information also seems to error out.

Other than these two errors the rest of the site works great! If anyone can help that would be great.

BuddyPress 1.03 and WordPress MU 2.8.4a and bbPress 1.0

I need to do something similar. I have two domains (sunysb.net and sbulife.com) where sunysb.net is the domain I use for buddypress, and sbulife.com redirects to it. Normally, I would park sbulife.com on sunysb.net and the end user wouldn’t know the difference, but with the subdomain rewrite rules, it really screws up wordpress mu.

First of all, we do not have sufficient information to offer the best resolution to your issue.

We have no idea what versions of WPMU and BuddyPress you’re running. Are you running WPMU or single-user WordPress? What other plugins do you have installed?

The plugin does not indicated that it works with WPMU and it is only updated to WP 2.7.1. Perhaps that is part of the problem.

I’m setting this to “not a support question” as this seems more like a WP issue and not a BuddyPress issue. Also, I’m moving it to the proper forum, “Third Party Components & Plugins”.

there are several themes such as P2 and Prologue that offer front page posting.You can use TDO forms to have a form on the front page to post.I dont know if it works with mu..give it a try.

What i tried to point is that you can use the same technique in your themes, so as to avoid users to log into wordpress panel.

This can be done like this

if( user is blog owner) -> show the quickpress code (you can copy the quickpress code from the P2 or Prologue theme)

else

show the comments form

its the basic logic.I am working with my initial setup,i thought to implement this later when i am finished with my setup

I’ve never heard of Flutter. But the link you provided to the Flutter plugin on the WP plugin repo appears to be for the single-user verison of WordPress and not for WPMU. That could be the issue.

Also, if you visit the homepage for the company that created Flutter, there is a link at the bottom to an alpha version for Mu.

I’m changing this to “not a support question” as you are having issues caused by a 3rd-party plugin (and one that is not supposed to work with WPMU at that) and it has nothing to do with BuddyPress not functioning properly. I’m also moving this to the “Third Party Components & Plugins” forum and out of the “How-To and Troubleshooting” forum.

First, before doing anything, always read the readme.txt file that comes with the install package–this includes the WPMU and the BuddyPress packages. It has important information–especially about what you need to do with the theme files.

Since BuddyPress resides in its own directory, I would suggest deleting the old install. You should not have any issues if you do this. Why? Because any of the plugins, themes, or custom code that you may be using should exist outside of the BuddyPress directory. Before deleting the BP directory, you need to make sure that you deactivate it in WPMU’s backend.

Furthermore, just in case, it is always prudent to have recent backups of your custom themes and your plugins before deleting anything. You want to be absolutely sure that if you accidentally delete the wrong files or directories, that it will not be a big issue since you can simply copy them back. I also suggest that you have a recent copy of your wp-config.php file and even the .htaccess file (assuming that you have plugins installed that may have altered the default congifg).

Since this is a fresh install, I would also suggest starting over with a new DB. If you already have data that you wish to keep in the DB–because you’ve been running WPMU for awhile in a production environment–then your only option is to manually delete the BP tables in the DB before reinstalling BP.

Also, since you are having specific issues with the activity tables, you will need to follow my advice in this post to get the activity tables to reinstall.

As always, before doing anything that affects the DB, please back it up. This also includes backing up your DB before each and every upgrade.

As JasonG states, WPMU is really setup to work with a single domain. However, as he also points out, Donncha has an early-stage plugin that allows the mapping of a domain to a specific blog on a Mu install. It is called the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin.

Concerning getting the multi-site plugin to work with BuddyPress, there is a ticket in Trac that addresses a potential way to allow it to work with BP.

Yes, a media library / manager makes more sense… with wire integration and bulk uploading hopefully. Now… if a user has not just a BP Profile but also a Blog… they would then have two media libraries… their WordPress Media Library and their BuddyPress Media Library. But I guess that makes sense. The Blog is almost like another world. Right?
