BuddyPress.org

Hi I have some problem too with WP Multi Network and Wp 3.1 … I have modified the code for the menus, I can create new network, but wen I move a site(assign site) from a network to anther the slug isn’t correct
If someone as an advice …

@imon275 Before installing BuddyPress see requirements including WordPress configuration https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/

You should create a network (go multisite) https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network and resolve any issues at WP.org multisite forum https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite first.

@pjnu https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-user-management/

@mapepro
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/csv-user-import/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-import-users/

It means wordpress has run out of memory….

Ask your host to increase it. If they won’t ( for instance you host with 1and1 ) then look here and here

You might mean https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/demo-data-creator/ good up to WP 3.0.5.
This doesn’t however create groups, blogs, etc.
Definitely for a test install. The last time I used this some months ago, when I deactivated/deleted/uninstalled the plugin, it took away all users etc as I think it was also mentioned in plugin site before.

To be honest you are not really on the right support forum are you? Blogs belong to WP, issues with those or with the WP DB are going to be best addressed to the WordPress forums.

@Pisanojm: This stuff is a great motivation to keep writing tutorials for BuddyPress. Great to hear that it helped for your community

@Gregfielding. you could use the CDN Sync Tool as well: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cdn-sync-tool/.

BUT I would advise you to till install W3 Total Cache and simply disable all the caching functionality. It’s a matter of ticking a few boxes, and only enabling the CDN option. I have not tested the CDN Sync Tool, but the huge benefit of Total Cache is the inclusion of custom files to be served through the CDN:

This is the big trick on getting avatars/group-avatars and static files served with max speeds

@B1gft

You can add widget areas anywhere you like. See this tutorial to learn how: http://wpmu.org/how-to-widgetize-a-page-post-header-or-any-other-template-in-wordpress/

You should create a child-theme of bp-default first though to avoid having to redo all your modifications when you upgrade Buddypress: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

It was a good day when Bowe showed me I could use MAXCDN to cache avatars… It was not working with my older AMAZON S3 CDN solution and I was actively trying to find someone for over 7 months to tell me why! Today, I finally got the xcache php opcode to work on both my server and for specifically for BuddyPress (using it for database caching via w3tc). Things are moving along quite nicely now.

The key to maximizing MAXCDN is to cache all of your plugins’ css, images, and javascripts… once you do this, it flies!

With regard to wp-minify or w3tc minify and buddypress, I’ve never been happy with the results of this as usually it will stop something completely from functioning, no matter how careful I was in trying to exclude potential CSS/JS issues individually. I am using wp-minify successfully on a number of less active WordPress sites though… I may give minify a go again some time later, much later!

It’s not directly a Buddypress issue. It’s a plugin and hack issue. Where most standard wordpress blogs may only have the need for a few plugins, complex Buddypress communities have lots of plugins.

I am planning on purchasing Wishlist, but I am also planning on using BuddyPress. If I am using WordPress 3.01, can both Wishlist and BuddyPress work together in one website run by WordPress.

99.3% of the time, it’s fine with buddypress, but I am not finding any “whitelist” plugins, where is it located so I can learn more about it?

I downloaded the WordPress Zip and the Buddypress Zip and FTP´d them up to my DreamHost domain and the problem was solved. So it´s the 1-click install the problem.

Have you not tried hnla’s solution on the database tables over here yet? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/forums-not-working-error-when-creating-topic/#post-69618

Buddypress shouldn’t slow anything down at all. Unless you have a bad host, and poor space, your site should load, and load functions, just as fast as if it was not installed.

Unless, your talking about, for instance, just buddypress components. Have you read this article? http://wpmu.org/speed-up-your-wordpress-buddypress-loading-time-with-this-quick-tip/

I can believe that this is an old problen that hasn´t been solved by WordPress/Buddypress/bbPress I just got the “There was an error when creating the topic” and I see that none of the wp_bb_ tables have been created in the database. I don´t know if this is the problem, and I don´t know how to create new tables (I´m not a developer), but please resolve this issue it is unacceptable that it is still happening… now I hope that creating the tables resolves my problem. Any body can help me create new tables??

Hi Guys, I’m interested to understand what the combination of buddypress & wishlist will give you i.e. why have you chosen to install both?
