I keep getting the same answer everywhere. Maybe I should explain better.
It does not matter who I log in as. I can only edit the last post that I made on every account. The admin can edit all ADMIN posts but only the last post on all other accounts.
I am sure that it is a wordpress problem and not buddypress but I was wondering if anyone has ever seen this.
I already tried re-installing wordpress and I get the same error.
The files are all in the correct locations. I’m on a shared hosting plan at godaddy so I’m pretty sure I don’t have access to the apache logs. I just installed everything again and i’m still running into the same problem. WordPress Mu is set up for sub-categories and not directories. Could that be the problem? I noticed, if you go to the demo site here, and load it under www it does the same thing? You can see my site at desmoineslocalmusic.com
I was thinking kind of how gmail, in its early days, gave each new users 100 invites to send to people and you could only join the network through the invites.
I found this plugin for regular WP installs, Release Plus, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/register-plus/, that has a lot of the functionality I’m thinking about but doesn’t mesh with Andy’s invite system. Would be great to have something that plays nice with BuddyPress.
I think this is a wordpress problem :S
i have checked something which is not so clear in bbpress (wordpress integration menu)
1 – it ask to fill in information about :
WordPress “auth” cookie salt
WordPress “secure auth” cookie salt
WordPress “logged in” cookie salt
and then to check if those information are similar
WordPress (wp-config.php) bbPress (bb-config.php)
AUTH_KEY BB_AUTH_KEY
SECURE_AUTH_KEY BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY
LOGGED_IN_KEY BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY
in wp-config we always have
blabla-key and blabla-salt available so what do we have to enter ?
the blabla-salt or the blabla-key.
2 – in the wordpress plugin for bbpress integration :
The complete URL of your plugins directory. Leave blank if it is in the default location “my-plugins” in the bbPress directory.
the default location is “bb-plugins” : so what we shall do ?
i will have a see on bbpress forumsfor this
I installed 700 about about 30 minutes ago. I just forced the update and it’s still the same. I’m still using wordpress Mu 2.6.2. Could that be the problem?
@wardeh I avoided entering all the wordpress integration information for nonce, salts, keys, etc right off the bat and just did the “login integration” which really involves just making sure it has the right prefix for your install which usually is “wp_” so bbPress can find the WPMU users.
I see Sambauers put up a new plugin today to help with bbPress and WordPress cookie integration and will give more information after I have a chance to play with it.

bebopcool: Thank you! You’re right… I DID have to add those two lines to wp-config.php when upgrading, but had forgotten!
If anyone else is looking for auth_salt:
bb-admin > Settings > WordPress Integration tells you to get auth_salt from options.php. It is not there!
It is in wp-config.php and was defined when upgrading to 2.7.
Yep, got the connection problems solved but probably won’t have time to test much today. I see what you’re saying but we’re integrating WordPress and bbPress and need the cookies to sync. If we can get everything talking properly between WPMU and bbPress it will make any problems we encounter BuddyPress specific. I’m not sure if the plugin works with WPMU, I’m assuming it does but it doesn’t specify either way.
wardeh – I think that is saying that what the plugin used to do is now handled by bbPress but this plugin now does something else, namely recognize the cookies from WordPress. On the main plugin page it says “This plugin is only useful if you are running bbPress version 1.0-alpha-4 or later.”
I haven’t personally tested the new bbPress version or this plugin as I’m having connection problems but will report whatever I find out.
This plugin may also be required with the new bbPress version:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/
A new version of bbPress, 1.0-Alpha-4, was just released on bbPress.org which “Should fix issues that people had with integrated cookies with WordPress in 1.0-alpha-3 without reverting any new features in it.”
Not sure if this is related to any of our problems but it’d be advisable to upgrade and see if it helps.
Along with the cookie fixes mentioned above, this new release will also assign users a role in bbPress as soon as they visit the forums with WordPress cookies. Previously they needed to log in to be assigned a role.
Andy, this is the results from WP_Http obj in http.php. It’s using cURL to go get the info from bbpress. Below are var dumps from line 261 in http.php
‘http obj url param:’ = $url
‘http obj request param:’ = $r
… you get the idea …
http obj url param: string(37) “http://ourcommoninterest.org/bbpress/”
http obj request param: array(
{ [“method”]=> string(3) “GET” [“timeout”]=> int(2) [“redirection”]=> int(5) [“httpversion”]=> string(3) “1.1” [“user-agent”]=> string(13) “WordPress/2.7” [“blocking”]=> bool(true) [“headers”]=> array(0) { } [“body”]=> NULL }
http obj transport: object(WP_Http_Curl)#324 (0) { }
http obj response: array(3) { [“headers”]=> array(5) { [“date”]=> string(29) “Sun, 14 Dec 2008 01:52:04 GMT” [“server”]=> string(21) “Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)” [“content-length”]=> string(3) “292” [“connection”]=> string(5) “close” [“content-type”]=> string(29) “text/html; charset=iso-8859-1” } [“body”]=> string(292) “
Not Found
The requested URL /bbpress/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at ourcommoninterest.org Port 80
” [“response”]=> array(2) { [“code”]=> int(404) [“message”]=> string(9) “Not Found” } }
I know that curl is fired up on my windows server. Can’t imagine it isn’t on my linux server. Besides, the http obj tests all ‘transports’ for their existence before sticking ’em in the list of those to try at that spot where the dump is. Gonna go look anyway.
Since this code is new in mu 2.7 I don’t trust it. 
I know,but we need something like Kaltura to port over to BP.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-video-pack/
That needs a skilled php guru.
Unless you/someone can take up the task or we need a good doc/guideline on building plugins for BP.
We need wordpress plugins ported 2 BP!
Thanks, Burt.
Now I am able to edit users. 
Still can’t get forum posts to work. Any suggestions?
Question: Do I have to do the user mapping in Settings > WordPress Integration in the bb-admin?
bebopcool: “i cannot make the user created for buddypress in bbpress an admin as i cannot access to bbpres user profile (it gives a 404 error on every user imported from wordpress)”
That’s what happens to me, too.
The forums are with the groups now, but no posts can be added.
wpmu trak version 1574
bbpress 1.0 alpha 2
buddypress 658
pb with cookie integration between bbpress and wordpress
i cannot make the user created for buddypress in bbpress an admin as i cannot access to bbpres user profile
(it gives a 404 error on every user imported from wordpress)
it tried to use the bbpress integration function that allows to give a role to wordpress users :
the new forumbdpress is put as an administrator in wpmu
but he does not appear as an administrator is bbpress
surely those pb are not directly linked with your plugin
but it makes it working not properly :
the groups forums seems to be created but
i cannot create topics in groupes forums
Is wpmu 2.7 out now? Your site says its running “WordPress 2.7” not “WordPress 2.7-RC1-xxxx” like everyone else. The site in your profile must not be the site you are talking about.
Anyway, the dreaded “white screen of death” probably means you have some errors and it’s just not showing you them. Check your php and apache error logs and report back.
Sounds like the bp member theme is crashing for some reason. Do you have *all* the bp components installed?
@zenseeker, ok here’s the mu trunk link:
http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/trunk
Balance? Balance?! What balance? Alphas, betas and trunks (all together now) Oh, My!
I’m getting goofy. Gotta lay off the caffeine.
The transition from WordPress to WPMU is really simple. I did it in a few hours and there’s tons of resources out there on how to do it. Let me know if you want me to link some up and I can definitely do that.
As for your question, there’s no plugins I know for regular WordPress to add BuddyPress-like functionality, but Ning.com and KickApps.com may be worth looking into.
testbp.org is running ‘WordPress 2.7-RC1-10119’
my dev machine is running ‘WordPress 2.7-RC1-10145’
WordPress MU doesn’t quite have the famous “5 Minute Install” unfortunatly… it’s a wee bit more complicated than the basic WordPress.
You could update the file size limit in your php.ini file although that will increase the upload limit globally, not just for phpMyAdmin.
upload_max_filesize = 5M;
memory_limit = 16M;
A preferable approach might be to add an .htaccess file in your phpMyAdmin directory with the following directives:
php_flag upload_max_filesize “5M”
php_flag max_execution_time 300
php_flag memory_limit “64M”
This should increase your file upload size limit just for phpMyAdmin to 5Mb and allow for the extra execution time required.
It’s worth noting that most sources suggest increasing php’s memory limit from the default 16Mb’s when using WordPress MU anyway so you might want to make that change in the php.ini rather than the .htaccess file.
I’d suggest installing phpMyAdmin locally and importing your database with that or you could use a desktop database management application like SQLYog.
You’ll need to update any references to your live hosting url (domain.tld) in your SQL file to reference your local dev url (localhost.localdomiain).
Also, if you’re running under Windows and have WPMU set to use sub-domains you’ll need to add entries for each subdomain in your hosts file manually.
Andrea Rennick over at wpmututorials.com has just written a pdf ebook on installing MU that you might find helpful too.
Ok, but i’ve seen the code yesterday, but the bp’s widget retrieve options directly from wordpress configuration, i wrote some lines of code to add personalization feature, i will post code as soon as possible
