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/
It looks like you are trying to install BuddyPress under single-user WordPress.
BP currently requires the multi-user version of WordPress. Read this and follow the link in point one: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypress/
Some people have suggested installing WP Hashcash to block signups, though I haven’t tried it myself.
But you’re saying that someone signed up on your BP install with the Facebook Connect plugin?
So it sounds like a problem with the FB plugin… not sure though.
Sounds like DJPaul suspects the same thing!
Are you on a shared hosting plan?
I suggest that you contact your hosting company and ask for the assistance in figuring out what is going on.
Also, Automattic’s VIP hosting is provided to just a very few, select, large clients. It is not something you can simply decide to purchase.
So, my guess is that, yes, Automattic will offer BuddyPress installs to their very few VIP clients, but it will not be available to the vast majority of users.

Suprise, suprise! It’s running. I’ve installed WordPress MU in a folder in a folder and now it’s running. But don’t ask me why the root installation doesn’t work with buddypress in a folder.
Just go to http://ww2.toksta.com and create an account and setup your chat the way you want it and click ‘Create Script’ and choose ‘WordPress’, upload it to the /wp-content/plugins dir and follow the readme file directions. It does work because I have it working on my site right now.

Is the eshop plugin a buddypress plugin really? If it is designed to work with WordPress, it does not hook into the menu functions etc that BuddyPress uses. Contact the author of that plugin and talk to him/her about it.
What do you mean by “menus and new tabs”? If you create a plugin, you can add custom menu items related to your plugin through various hooks (see the Skeleton Component for examples), but there are no built-in drag’n’drop functions for it.
Jeff,
Your analysis in the paragraph above outlines exactly what users can expect or aim to acheive with shared hosting. The fact that it can be installed and operated is one thing, providing a desirable user experience is another.
The restrictions on shared hosting though may allow for a WPMU installation but not provide enough flexibility for some BuddyPress plugins to work, but as you say too many variables to be discussed here.
If BuddyPress does end up supporting single-user wordpress I’m sure that the net will undoubtedly widen.
I’m running WordPress µ 2.8.2:
You are using WordPress MU 2.8.2.
I don’t know the version of BuddyPress but I downloaded the latest one (at this site)
