BuddyPress.org

The beauty of opensource is as long as you give credit where it’s due, you’re free to distribute anything that’s part of the GPL, which WordPress and BuddyPress are.

Unless Andy chimes in and feels otherwise, I don’t see the harm in it.

Granted my site is acting messy right now but I don’t think this is related to the plugin.

I use the FV Community News plugin to solicit community FAQs but instead of pushing questions to a “submitted news” page, I pull then questions and post them in a blog and then members post answers as comments. (I do this because the FAQs are supposed to be posted anonymously.) There’s a widget with the plugin, which makes it easy for people to submit their questions.

You can see it working here:

The plugin is here:

Hope that helps!

If you really do have data on your dev server that you need to move to your production server, and assuming that you do not have any hardcoded URLs, then there are a few ways that this may be accomplished. I’ve never tried this with a WPMU installation, but this first article worked fine with a single-user WP domain migration.

The next two articles are from the WP codex. I am not sure if they are fully applicable to WPMU, I’m providing them just for reference. As always, back up your data, back up your data, backup your data.

It’s Automattic’s theme, and they use it on http://wpdevel.wordpress.com/

jgadbois – You can’t install WordPressMu with www. it automatically remove www. from your domain.

I have written a post on How to install WordPressMU with www. you can refer to that.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Please try again.

Whereas if you’re just using IE it could be a security feature of that browser, I’m guessing this is a nonce security issue. If you get the same message when using Firefox, then that would be a good indication.

This is sometimes caused when logging in and out of your site. For example, if you have two windows opened and have already logged out in one window, you’ll get that message when you try to log out of the second.

Hope that helps…

On a side note, Manoj just released an image album plugin for bp! https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bppicture-album/ how about that.

Something like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-password-register/ ?

There’s a plugin for WordPress to do this already, and there will be a language switcher plugin that is BuddyPress safe soon.

This has been done similarly in various forum software. Wouldn’t be too hard to adapt to fit WordPress/BuddyPress.

I say do it.

At this time, BuddyPress only works with WordPress Multiuser (WPMU) version 2.7.1. You will have to install it yourself, which is really the only way that it should be done. It is never wise to use a one-button install service to install complex software platforms.

Now, whether your hosting plan will be of sufficient horsepower to successfully run WPMU is a different issue. For this issue you can search the WPMU forums.

In your site-wide.css(side wide) or custom.css(home) in your wordpress themes theme.

custom.css (line 83)

#header {

background: none;

padding:0 25px 20px;

position: relative;

}

custom.css (line 87)

#header ul#nav {

float:right;

margin:-63px -5px 0 0;

}

custom.css (line 91)

#header ul#nav li {

float:left;

margin:-20px 0 0 18px;

}

Hope that helps, I had the same problem there is some style inconsistencies between the bphome and bpmembers styles.

You can use any WordPress theme for the home theme.

But, to have success integrating it with BP, you’ll need to copy the functions.php in /bphome/ to your new home theme’s functions.php file. Also, there are certain code elements in the header.php file of the /bphome/ theme that you’ll need to add to your own home theme.

You may then also want to design a custom member theme that takes the look and feel of your home theme.

installed via simplescript at bluehost

This may be your issue. You really should not be installing complex software platforms like WPMU by using third-party installers. You should manually install WPMU paying careful, close attention to the readme.txt file that comes with it.

Also, search the forums for “BlueHost” to see the issue other users have when using simplescripts. Here’s one to get you started.

the redirection plugin (checked that already), avatar plugin, wordpress.com stats, akismet, statpressCN, Sociable, Author Avatars List, google analytics

To isolate WPMU and BuddyPress issues, you need to deactivate all plugins. This means that BuddyPress should be the only plugin running period. If your site issues go away, then you activate one plugin at a time, testing with each reactivation, until you get the problem again.

not aware of any relevant errors

The question asks for a listing of any errors in your server’s log files, it does not ask for you to decide whether or not they are relevant.

When providing a listing of errors, you do not need to copy into the thread the entire contents of each error file. A single error can be repeated many times. We just need a single instance of each, unique error. More times than not that is sufficient. If we need more info, we may ask to see the entire contents.
