Hello Mates, I know I went M.i.A for a while.
but I wanted to say thanks for the good responses
before it got way too late.
I got focused into developing our BP site
and have been searching through the forums
for all kinds of questions and possibilities.
I’m sure I’ll be posting about them soon.
But for this, I think we’ll start working with group / blog mods first
and try out the multi-site url solutions.
The BP integration still seems like an interesting challenge
especially as the single wordpress BP installs come into play.
John if you have more details about the functions.php solution,
please contact me.
and if there are any other ideas about this,
or possible plugin solutions,
I’d love to hear them.
Sincerely,
– Jeff –

I deactivated the BP-plugin. Problem remains. So it’s probably an issue with WordPress MU and the P2-theme?!
Try removing or disabling BuddyPress. Does this problem still occur on WordPress MU?
For #1, use Justin Tadlock’s Get The Image plugin in a loop. Or to make things easier, use Tadlock’s query_posts widget with Get The Image to easily define which posts to display. The Get The Image plugin does not cache the images though.
If you’re looking for image resizing / caching, try TimThumb from darrenhoyt.com… although I never have been able to get that working on WP.
For #2, there’s two plugins that I know of.
First one is The WordPress Bar. The second one is Pretty Link. It will not integrate with the BP bar… it will add another bar for external pages.
For #3, you’ll have to get creative with the xprofile fields. I have something setup with a BP install I’m working on, which manipulates the BP profile loop and uses CSS manipulation to display the social badges.
yes, full integration… I’ve noticed however that it creates a SECOND account if the member already has one, so it’s either log in with Twitter credentials, or with WordPress credentials…. site seems to consider them as separate accounts.
I explain this to my users at http://outgaylife.com/wp-login.php
I have WPMU setup in the root, but wanted to have the “community” page on a different page as well.
Here’s what I did:
- Create a new WordPress page template with the BP widget toolbar calls in it.
- Create a new WordPress page and apply the page template you created in step #1.
- Add BP widgets to the BP widget toolbar.
That should be it!
There isn’t. The Dashboard on this site is a custom page, and is nothing to do with the WordPress admin backend.
Well we know that within the next 6 months, mu and wordpress will eventually combine. At that point, it would be safe to bet that buddypress will work with both the multi-user as well as the single user (both will be the same)
List version numbers of buddypress, wordpress mu, and bbpress.
I believe this means that the mysql query wasn’t understood or the answer was blank (empty) and it didn’t know what to do with it.
Got helped in the wpmu forum. I would need a wpmu plugin to do what I want.
Oh there is one thing more…
Now I just need to know if BuddyPress can handle these sorts of plugins for example https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yet-another-multi-site-manager/ , if not what do I need to do so it can?
Please tell me.
Thanks
I think that’s very much a WPMU issue.
Since you had single-user WordPress installed before, I’d suggest doing a clean install. This means making sure that you delete both the single-user WP and the newly installed WPMU files. Also, delete your MySQL database and start with a new one.
I assume that you do not have any data yet. If that is correct, then you can safely proceed down this road. If you do have important data in the MySQL DB, then you should back it up first.
Also, you should use a separate MySQL DB for WPMU. Do not use the one that you are already using for single-user WP.
Follow these instructions for help on installing WPMU. Make sure you read through all instructions linked below before beginning the install:
- Download BuddyPress from here
- https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-wordpress-mu/
- Read the readme.txt file that comes with the WPMU download
Then, once WPMU is installed and functioning properly, follow these instructions for help on installing BuddyPress.

- Read the readme.txt file that comes with the BuddyPress download
The phplist-dual-registration plugin also takes input from registration. It has this function:
function subscribe($input_data) {
if (!wpphplist_check_curl()) {
echo 'CURL library not detected on system. Need to compile php with cURL in order to use this plug-in';
return(0);
}
// $post_data = array();
foreach ($input_data as $varname => $varvalue) {
$post_data[$varname] = $varvalue;
}
// Ensure email is provided
$email = $post_data[$this->email_id];
// $tmp = $_POST['lid'];
// if ($tmp != '') {$lid = $tmp; } //user may override default list ID
if ($email == '') {
echo('You must supply an email address');
return(0);
}
// 3) Login to phplist as admin and save cookie using CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE
// NOTE: Must log in as admin in order to bypass email confirmation
$url = $this->domain . "admin/";
$ch=curl_init();
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
print '<h3 style="color:red">Init Error: ' . curl_error($ch) .' Errno: '. curl_errno($ch) . "</h3>";
return(0);
}
$post_data='action=subscribe&group_ids[]
'.$this->lid.'&email_address='.$this->email_id.'&firstname='.$this->name_id;
Is the $post_data line what I need? Something like this?:
function subscribe($input_data) {
// $post_data = array();
foreach ($input_data as $varname => $varvalue) {
$post_data[$varname] = $varvalue;
}
$email = $post_data[$this->email_id];
$name = $post_data[$this->name_id];
}
And then I could use $email and $name in my function to “do stuff” with?
Or can I use $post_data[$this->email_id] etc. directly? Is that the simple answer to my original question?
Why is the $post_data commented out?! Don’t I need it?
Do I need other pieces to make it work? For which fields would this work; only those from wp_users or xprofile as well? What about custom fields, including the real name/first name/last name mess?
Luc-
Many people have asked the same question. The good news is that there are plans to make BuddyPress compatible with single-user WordPress in the future.
We’re not sure when that will happen, so give it time and keep checking back.
Here’s a very good one. It uses jQuery, which is included in WordPress.
Once you have the javascript and css in place the menu is not dramatically different from what comes with default templates – ul li etc.
If you can build a WordPress theme, building a BuddyPress theme is not very hard – it is just larger.
The idea with the included bphome/bpmember themes is to be a skeleton framework to build off of. It shows how to use all of the included functions and loops in a way that makes the output of each element clear and concise.
It might not be the cleanest theme available, but it’s a great start if you’re learning BP or you need to understand what files do what for what reasons.
In my opinion, an experienced BP developer should be able to create a unique template starting from the bphome/bpmember themes and working outwards, within a few days. There’s no doubt that BP themes are extremely involved, but that’s likely to change as the platform matures and WordPress better supports theme locations and child themes.
Long story short, you’re probably right, but don’t expect the included theme to get much fancier. (Look at WordPress and bbPress for example. Both included original themes are very primitive in their designs.)
I have to install WordPress MU in the root directory because I want that a domain point to the buddypress blog (/community), so I got the same error. If I install WordPress MU in a folder all works fine but then the visitors see the right url (/net/wp) and not the domain. Could it be that this is a buddypress bug?
Jfcarter,
Have a look at the pods plugin for wordpress at http://pods.uproot.us/
I am trying to use it to create company profiles. Maybe we can combine efforts.
You have to download and install WordPress MU – https://mu.wordpress.org/
