BuddyPress.org

Backup everything — entire web root folders and the SQL database. Check the backups work. It never hurts to keep a backup of the backup somewhere, perhaps on another computer. The idea being is that if you have to delete everything and start out from scratch, you know you’ll be able to get back to where you are now.

You will have to re-build your theme, as the BuddyPress theme structure changed since the version you are using. You’ll probably be able to keep your WordPress theme, but you’ll essentially have to build a new BuddyPress theme, or be happy with using the (new) default BuddyPress theme. You can check out the default theme on http://testbp.org/.
I would suggest you get your theme sorted out before you upgrade.

It’d be massively easier starting from scratch with a new BuddyPress installation, but I’m assuming you can’t do that. The upgrade process from this old versions will be complex. Definitely do it in steps, don’t jump to the latest version.

0) Disable BuddyPress and all other plugins. Revert to standard WP theme. Get WPMU upgraded to 2.9.2.
1) Get BuddyPress updated to 1.1.3.
2) Get new theme ready (or use BP-Default) and then upgrade to BuddyPress 1.2.4
3) Upgrade WPMU to WP 3.1.1 (latest version)
4) Upgrade BP to 1.2.8 (latest version)

You’ll need to test this upgrade process / order of events before you have a go on your live site. Set up a local test site, or on a test server, and try this there. I haven’t done any upgrades like this (keeping the data from an old version), but good luck

Yes. Any WordPress plugins that extends the user authentication should work just fine with BuddyPress

@famous next and previous thumbnail images are shown by template tags –
and

One quick solution for an image.php file:
– copy bp-default theme’s index.php and save to your child theme folder
– open up index.php and replace the following lines:

Replace

<div class="entry">

</div>

With

<div class="entry">
ID, 'large' ); ?>

</div>

Replace

<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"></div>
<div class="alignright"></div>
</div>

With

<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"></div>
<div class="alignright"></div>
</div>

Replace
<h2 class="posttitle"><a href=&quot;" rel="bookmark" title=" "></a></h2>
With
<h2 class="posttitle"><a href=&quot;post_parent); ?>" rel="attachment">post_parent); ?> </a></h2>

I am having the same problem, but are you sure this isn’t a bug in the plugin? It shouldn’t need 33MB of RAM just to activate the plugin. I got the same error trying to activate Buddypress 1.2.8 on a fresh install of WordPress 3.1.1 on a high-quality host. There are a huge number of warnings that come before the memory error. Here’s the full output with debug on (I cut out another ~50 warnings on call-time pass-by-reference).

here’s a little more explain for those who need, it helped me much more than the other examples given.

Try asking your host to increase your wordpress memory limit, or do a search on that subject as there are some ways to do it yourself…

If neither of those work, and for some shared server hosts such as 1and1 they won’t, then have a look at the suggestions here and here.

Or find a host that offers more memory – which is difficult as all other shared hosting services, that I’ve found, don’t quote the memory available in their advertising….

Anyone figure out a way to “activate” all wordpress users so they show up on Buddypress right away?

This is definitely a WordPress support thread, but I’ll answer it this time

The author pages uses one of these templates in this order:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Author_Templates#Which_Template_File_is_Used.3F

You should be able to just use the `if ( have_posts() )` conditional in the author template and if a user has no posts, put the content you want to show in the `else` part of the conditional.

WPML free version:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/

You should also add some type of nonce verification:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_create_nonce

Reason is in your function anyone can send a Bzzt even if you’re not logged in if they know the correct URL schema.

Have you tried this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/peters-login-redirect/ ?

Wow, this is REALLY a huge GAP in Buddypress for me and I think MANY others. WordPress search is bad enough in and of itself….not having a federated search across WP and BP is well….poor. Hopefully this will be fixed nicely soon. The BuddyDev approach is messy…its a good stopgap but it is done all outside of the rest of the search world…so none of the search enhancement plugins etc will work with it. We really need a STRONG integrated search engine in WP and BP…. I HOPE there is one in the works out there with Highlighting, full text search ….well…LUCENE or SOLR like but not having to have that server loaded. If some of the SOLR hosting sites built this they could get my business

If you read the blog article, it says the plugin is free:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-multilingual/

@boonebgorges invite-anyone plugin has template file “which can be overridden with a template file at groups/single/invite-anyone.php”
https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/invite-anyone/tags/0.8.9/group-invites/templates/invite-anyone.php

Next time, it’ll be better if you post at the Invite Anyone plugin forums so plugin dev will be able to see your post https://buddypress.org/community/groups/invite-anyone/forum/
