WordPress mu 2.7 stable is out !!!
Beta 2 will either be late tonight, or in the morning PDT.
Then I shall wait “impatiently”
Thank you so much Trent. I appreciate the support.

I would go with WPMU 2.7 and buddypress beta 2 (which should be out really soon). If buddypress beta 2 isn’t released, I would come back and ask which version is the most stable out of trunk for your release. WPMU 2.7 is “so much different” than 2.6.5, so it would be nice to get users on it right out of the box instead of changing right away. There are loads of improvements since BP beta 1, but you have to get a development snapshot that works
Long story short, I doubt beta 2 of buddypress will be that long since the tickets are dwindling down….
Trent
Thank you so much.
I am hoping to launch within the next week. Do you think I should stick to 2.6.5 and the first beta version of BP?
Would the new MU and BP be stable enough to just go ahead fresh with the latest?
THANK YOU;
Vida
WPMU 2.7 was released about 4 hours ago. The latest beta release of buddypress does work on WPMU 2.7, but there are loads of changes since then. The second beta should be making it out here pretty soon, or you can head to https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/browser/trunk and grab the latest development version by getting the zip at the bottom of that page.

Hello Vida,
I think WordPress MU “2.7” is not available right now.
(PS: “WordPress” is not “WordPress Mu”)

I can’t see why not in the future. Once things are more stable, I am sure that someone will try (if not Andy) to port this, but that won’t be for awhile.
Can you add wp, wpmu and bp widgets to this plugin and can show a demo example of wordpress widget like NextGEN Gallery?
It would be nice, but it would require some extra functionality. wordpress.com released as open source their video plugin suite, but I have yet to find anyone that has got it working Some of use are using phpmotion right now for our members which does both audio and video now. It would be nice to have something and I believe that Nicola has talked about a few solutions once Andy has a chance to put the albums into the core.

Does WordPress MU work without BuddyPress installed? If not, then you need to fix that first.
Hi folks !
The WPMU pot file exist !
You can found it here:
http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-i18n/pot/mu/trunk/wordpress.pot
The file contains all the lines for wp, but also for wpmu.
I translated it in french for 2.7 beta without problems; Just take care off many plural forms who need to be translated too…
I’m looking for a bbPress translation who works. Actually, the forums are only half translated. If somebody has a solution ?
Okay, I’m not sure what the problem is but here is how I fixed it.
First I totally wiped out all buddypress and WPMU files from the site. I then downloaded the SVN from this URL: http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/trunk. This gives you the WPMU 2.7 version which is still beta at this time but seems to work fine. After setting up WPMU and setting it up so that blogs come under a subdomain (ex. yourblog.yoursite.com) I updated my svn version of buddypress (https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk) and uploaded to the site and installed it. Everything is now working.
I have no idea why it wasn’t working before. I had tried to rewrite some of the code but to no avail. ANywho … doing it this way will get your site working. Also I think it may be important to use subdomains for the blogs. Not sure if that is true but I believe it may be.
Pretty simple really:
1) Make a backup of your DB just in case you change your mind.
2) Remove anything that has prefix of bp in your /mu-plugins/ folder
3) Delete the folder /wp-content/member-themes/
4) Delete the folder /wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/
5) Delete any tables in your DB that start with the prefix bp
6) Delete the tables that are in format of wp_user_X_activity ….. Not wp_users, just those specific to BP
7) Change your main WPMU blog to use a different theme
Be prepared for hits to non-existent information if you have been hit by search engines
Really, it is just reversing what you did in the installation process. Making backups before and after are really important as you don’t want to make a mistake. It is also good practice to tell your members that you are doing it since they might have issue with the changes, or at least need to be notified.
Hope that helps.

I DID it but still have stuff in my DB and the template in wp_content/themes. Now everytime i add a new blog it shows a blank page because no template is choosen. When i switch de BP Template off in the admin the other Templates disapear too!
You just remove the components that live in /mu-plugins.
Well check out this quote: “Very exciting news that Friendster, a popular social networking service with over 90 million global members, has relaunched their blog offering and selected WordPress MU. These member blogs, which are used by millions of Friendster members” So I think BP is a selections of plugins on the wordpress mu.
Therefore if wpmu expands so does BP.
What album plugin for wordpress mu do you recommend for now?
I think the error might be in your use of php_self
<form name=”search” method=”post” action=”<?=$PHP_SELF?>”>
What does the html look like when you view the page? I have a feeling it might be putting the wrong url into the form?
Also…
<input type=”text” value=”bob” name=”s” id=”s” />
Change that name and id, because “s”, is caught by wordpress and shows you a search result page:
http://ex-brief.com/?s=bob
That is a wordpress page not found result, basically.
That is why you search isn’t working.

There’s lots of different ways of doing this. You can create a plugin and then put your code in there. Call it from any wp page. You can also create a page template and put your code directly in the ‘search’ template. That’s probably what you are looking for.
Start here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates
The general idea is that all pages are created with a specific template. You create your own, probably by copying an existing page template and modifying it, and then create a page called ‘Search’ that uses that template. You build whatever functionality you want into the template.
This WPMU changeset has broken things. Working on a fix.

Yes, I’ve looked at that exact plugin. Unfortunately, if you read the comments it appears the plugin is not working since Automattic acquired Gravatar.com. Does that make any sense? You would think Automattic would do everything it can to speed up the use of gravatars and to make it easier to signup within WordPress. Surely someone smarter than me can use that plugin as a base for what’s needed here?
Andy, can you chime in here?
Thx
@scotm I agreee 100%. Maybe this plugin could be adapted to BuddyPress: http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/gravatar-signup/
check out this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymcecomments/
Why the need of a preview box if you have the What You See Is What You Get Editor in the same place as your visitors type in the comments?
This plugin turns the comment field from a primitive into a WYSIWYG editor, using the internal TinyMCE library bundled with WordPress 2.0 or up, without the need of another separate installation. Functions that only available to writers like adding images were removed and will not show up in the toolbar.
If you add to the mu-plugins and add this line to the end of the plugin file:
add_action(‘template_notices’, ‘mcecomment_init’);
This is only the concept, I have not tested it, and don’t have the time but wanted to point you in a direction.
