BuddyPress.org

I think I’ve fixed it.

When using the BuddyPress function bp_core_do_catch_uri() via the ‘template_redirect’ action, there needs to be a remove_action() on redirect_canonical() to stop the BuddyPress redirection and WordPress redirection conflicting.

Basically adding a remove action on line 158 of bp-core-catchuri.php seems to work:

remove_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘redirect_canonical’ );

add_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘bp_core_do_catch_uri’ );

This seems to fix the problem of conflicting page names/group names.

BuddyPress is doing its own thing.

Take a look at bp-core/bp-catch-uri.php

The URL is split up into variables and used within plugins. This is obviously interfering with some of the WordPress URL’s. I’m going to take a look at this and see if there is a solution to put pages on a exclude list.

OK, I have submitted a better patch to allow complete customisation of the admin bar using add_action() WordPress hooks.

It also has log in and register and is available from https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/174

Please Note, this patch will possibly not work if used on top of the previous patch, so make sure you have the original core files installed first.

Is there something specific you’re looking for. Most WordPress plugins and WPMU plugins will work alongside BuddyPress. Right now the focus is on getting all the basic features stable for a formal release in the next month or so, but additional plugins will definitely be developed for this system.

Yeah this works, I’ve done it on a recent install of BP where I didn’t want the WordPress admin interface being used. When the ability to update your blog from the main frontend comes along, I’ll re-enable.

Andy,

I think I figured out what was causing the problem. When I originally installed WordPress MU, I had had to re-install it a few time until I got it right. File permissions weren’t set properly at the time of installation, etc. When I went into my “Sites” are of the Admin Settings panel, I found that I had about a half dozen sites listed, all with the same name. I deleted all except for the most current installation and now I am able to upload the avitar images. This multiple site listing didn’t seem to affect any other site functionality, WordPress MU or BuddyPress related. Just wanted to let you know the problem and the solution.

Best,

Steve

First of all you’ll want to get set up with an installation of WPMU and make sure that is running correctly.

It’s probably a good idea to head over to the WPMU forums where there are a lot of expect WPMU users (https://mu.wordpress.org/forums). They will be able to help you get started with MU.

Once you have that up and running, come back here and we can guide you through installing BuddyPress on top.

In your test user blog, is it just in the plugins list and needs to be activated or is it already active and shows the plugin admin menu?

You can disable Plugins in the /plugins/ dir to show up for your users under Site Options, at the bottom.

You can manually activate plugins for user blogs later.

There is a plugin (Plugin Commander) that allows you to control all the plugins in your /plugins/ dir.

If you want the plugin to work only for you main site blog, install it in the wp-content/plugins/ dir. If you have installed it in the wp-content/mu-plugins/ then it will be visible for all blogs and potentially not work correctly.

Thanks, honey.

She meant vanilla install

It’s quite likely it just has issues with WPMU, not buddypress. Some plugins do not work well with it. I’d test it on a vaniall install of WPMU first.

Hi just one question:

BuddyPress is a PLUGIN not a standalone application, is it?!

That means I can set up a WordPress-Blog and LATER add the BuddyPress-Function?!

Just asking because I have an idea for a great blog, and I am thinking about wether to wait for the official BuddyPress release or to already start my blog, and later add buddypress.

Hei Andy!

I will just ask, if you can fix the problem with “spaces inside usernames”. It was a old wordpress-installation and it is now a wordpress-mu installation with 200 users. In wordpress its no problem with spaces in usernames and thats the reason why the users has spaces (the old one). Now without the home.base the users get no profile. Can you inklude spaces and dots inside the …/members/… url. If not, must all 200 user geht new usernames

Thanks for your work!

Greetings. M

I am not 100% sure that the download offers the home theme – yet.

Go to the Site Admin menu, pick Themes and make sure the BP theme is the only one enabled. Then users can’t change themes.

Any plugin you put in the mu-plugins folder does NOT show up on the Plugins menu. That is for plugins that are in the plugins folder. So no, you won’t see any BP related plugins there to to turn them off and on, because in the mu-plugins folder, plugins are always ON.

If you really want to understand how WPMU works, to take full advantge of what it can do and get a feel for what you’re in for, check out http://wpmututorials.com , or sign up at wordpress.com to check out the user’s perspective & compare it to testbp.org.

Can’t wait to hear more on this, would love to add BuddyPress to regular WordPress as well.

I’m confused. That site looks like an elgg site. Is there a way to private message on here? I’d like to ask you some questions. I’m torn between WordPress MU/Buddypress and Elgg.
