I have a wordpress site with a buddypress theme (EventfulSanDiego.com). I cannot see the 65members who show up in the dashboard USERS area, but I do see myself and one other member under my MEMBERS tab. How do I make the other 65 members show up?
Yes…. with the ‘world famous’ wordpress 5 minute installer and not cpanel – although I’ve never used cpanel or any host’s wordpress installer….
If you have the necessary information to hand, it should be a simple and reliable process…
If the wordpress files are ok and all present then it should be possible just to delete the wp-config.php file (or rename it to something like wp-config.php.bak in case you neet to refer to it again), and go to your web address.
Ideally you should delete all the wordpress files, get the latest versions from wordpress.org and then re-upload them via ftp ( using a ‘client’ program such as filezilla ) to make sure that they are all uploaded correctly. Delete the WordPress database user and table through cPanel control panel.
Sometimes there are problems when not all the files have been uploaded, or have been corrupted, but I haven’t had any problems using filezilla….
So instead of installing wordpress through my cpanel install it manually? Is that what you mean?
@jstebbing better late than never 
`add_filter( ‘bp_get_group_description’, ‘do_shortcode’ );`
I don’t understand what you mean by ‘bunches’….
If you look at the wp-config-sample.php it should have a text block at the beginning like the following (quoted from wp 3.1.2)
`
<?php
/**
* The base configurations of the WordPress.
*
* This file has the following configurations: MySQL settings, Table Prefix,
* Secret Keys, WordPress Language, and ABSPATH. You can find more information
* by visiting {@link https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php Editing
* wp-config.php} Codex page. You can get the MySQL settings from your web host.
*
* This file is used by the wp-config.php creation script during the
* installation. You don’t have to use the web site, you can just copy this file
* to “wp-config.php” and fill in the values.
*
* @package WordPress
*/
`
those /* and */signs mark the beginning and end of text blocks that should be ignored in a .php type file…. ( this also true for single lines beginning // )
Make sure that is the case with your config file.
To edit php files you should use a text editor such as notepad++ rather than a wordprocessor such as MS Word.
I started out setting up a content management website for a small organization. Recently, the founder of the organization has indicated he would like to set up a blog on the site. The site currently utilizes the lastest version of WordPress and Buddypress. However, I have not yet set up the website as a WordPress Multisite or Network. Upon doing so, I know that buddypress will allow all of the users on website to start their own blog. Is there anyway that I could specify a certain user role and above (such as Editor and Admins) to only have the capability of publishing a buddypress blog? If not, do you know of any other options available to allow me to do this without making a ‘faux’ blog (through using widgets, plugins and manipulating categories on a page)?
If it doesn’t already exist you can just add
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
to the wp-config.php in the wordpress root directory.
It needs to go somewhere above
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
There are situations where this won’t have any effect, so you could try asking your host to increase your wordpress memory limit, or do a search on that subject as there are other ways to do it yourself…
If that doesn’t work, and for some shared server hosts it won’t, then have a look at the suggestions here and here.
Or find a host that offers more memory – which could be difficult as all the other shared hosting services, that I’ve found, don’t quote the memory available in their advertising….
When I go to my “Plugin’s” on wordpress and hit “Activate” on Buddypress I get this error
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in /home/pixelmom/thewoaninus/wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php on line 884
what does it mean and how can I fix it? I just upgraded wordpress to the current available version and tried again and still I’m getting it.
Thanks.
Having a little difficulty
Wordpress 3.1.2 – single site not networked
Buddypress current version
When I create a post and tick the “sidewide” option, and hit publish, the page goes white.
It does publish it, but not as a sidewide post
Do I need to run wordpress as a network?
Site can be seen here http://www.archimob.com/
Still a work in progress
It’s on the BP 1.4 roadmap https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2348 – BP Roles and Capabilities
As hnla said, search the site or wordpress.org forums. This has been discussed a million times, and there is no point in starting a new discussion.
All I want to know the answer for the million dollar question..!!

Anything in your web server’s error log?
Nothing to say yet, but the next major release of BuddyPress, 1.3, is something we’ve been working on for a long time and is getting closer. You can review the current roadmap of issues to address at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/report/11
Hello everybody! I am about to start a website and the beta version of the same has already been rolled-out. Though I have just began my marketing from yesterday, I have got lots of spam users. The difficult thing is, they are creating more blogs and topics than expected!!
I sincerely request everybody to post their suggestions here. It will be beneficial to all the upcoming startups that will be powered by wordpress and buddypress. Pls help me out.. This is really annoying and preventing me to go further..
Out of curiousity, will there be a new release of BuddyPress soon? Or should I just not run nightly of WordPress?
WordPress 3.2 is slated for release next month, so I’m assuming BuddyPress will need a new release as well in a similar time frame.
Mmmm weird.. BuddyPress and WordPress SEO just work fine both enabled. The trick I posted is to offer full compatibility for WP SEO URL rewriting. If you get completely blank BuddyPress pages something is really messed up. I did not know Hybrid worked with BuddyPress but I think the error is to be found there. Try enabling BuddyPress and WP SEO and switch to the default buddypress theme. If it still gives you empty pages then reinstall both WP SEO and BP. 
If I enable Yoast´s WordPress SEO plugin http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/, anything buddypress related is vanished. Just shows background image.
Tried editing my header.php per @bowromir suggestion here http://bp-tricks.com/snippets/making-buddypress-compatible-with-the-wordpress-seo-plugin-from-yoast/ As I am using a child theme of Hybrid framework, did not find `
` but `
` so I replaced the beforementiones statement with
`
` with no luck. Any clues ?
No, BuddyPress absolutely requires custom permalinks. What about putting “%post_id%” into the custom field? I’m not sure what the default behaviour is when permalinks are not set, so you may need to play around — take a read of https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Choosing_your_permalink_structure
Or, what’s the URL to your site? Have you installed WordPress in a subdirectory called “members”?
Could you report as a bug on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/? We may have already fixed it in our development version of BuddyPress, but you reporting the issue would prompt us to check. You can use your username and password from this site. Thanks!
There are two posts, the sitewide tags plugin copies the post onto that designated blog, so it’s working properly, although not the way you want it.
Something like this might work, but I’m not sure where best to put it. Try testing it in your theme’s functions.php for now (easiest):
`
global $wpdb;
if ( (int)$wpdb->blogid == (int)$bp->site_options )
remove_action( ‘save_post’, ‘bp_blogs_record_post’, 10, 2 );
`
