BuddyPress.org

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.

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.

It’s rather simple, create a plugin , and put it in mu-plugins. You’ll find the plugin and more information at: http://subscribe2.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/smtp-mailer/

Hi,

This is my first attempt to redesign a wordpresstemplate

so i would like some feedback of things that should be changed etc.

Tyna:

The IE and avatar issues are known and fixes are in progress. There’s no timetable but as soon as the problems are resolved the fixes will be rolled out.

As a fix for the improper titles (“Nothing found for…” etc.) I highly recommend installing the All in One SEO Pack Plugin. Besides being the best SEO plugin for WordPress imo, it will also take care of those titles, replacing them with the title of your choosing. I use my site title, for example.

Finally, the bbPress dual-login issue is a WPMU and bbPress cookie issue, not an issue with BuddyPress. I’ve found it’s easiest to just have users login a second time rather than mess with the cookies until the bbPress component is added to BuddyPress and bbPress 1.0 is finalized.

vanilla install

no extraplugins added

wordpress mu in subdomain mode,

eg:blog.screamings.com

theme:buddypress-home and member

site:screamings.com

have the same problem about blogs not getting attached to the profile

andy, if you want i can give you access to the admin section and server so that you can take a look.Just email me at saurabhmutha@gmail.com

@apeatling, by saying “at the moment” does that mean there are future plans for it to work with non-MU WordPress

I’m already using buddypress with the most recent SVN builds of WordPress MU based on 2.7 with no problems… for testing purposes only mind, WPMU 2.7 still has a bit of work to be done before it’s production ready .

I am having the exact same problem. This is a brand new install. Here are the steps that I took:

I downloaded the latest version of WPMU (2.6.5)

I copied wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes directories along with the files in the root installation directory to the root directory of my site.

I installed the database with no problems.

I followed the advice of the BP instructions and I created a new blog, created new posts and comments. Everything worked as expected.

I then downloaded the latest BP zip file (r598).

I copied all of the files and directories in the root directory of the zip to the /wp-content/mu-plugins directory.

I copied the buddypress-home directory to /wp-content/themes directory

I copied the member-themes directory to the /wp-content directory.

I went to the Site Admin->Themes page and selected ‘Yes’ for the BuddyPress Home Theme and ‘No’ for all the others.

Note: At this time the theme for the home page was still the default wordpress blog theme.

I then went to the root blogs (located at / according the the manage blogs page) and change the theme for it to BuddyPress Home Theme.

Now I get the 404 errors that are described above. Also, when I go to my member’s page, it says that I have no blogs, to create one. After creating another blog, the member’s page still says that I have no blogs.

I feel pretty confident that I installed WPMU correctly, but I suspect that I didn’t install buddypress to the right location(s).

Please advise.

It won’t work with WordPress only WordPress MU at the moment.
