BuddyPress.org

Buddypress doesn’t connect to the database, WordPress does.
BP is a plugin and will use the same db as WP, but if WP can’t connect, BP won’t work either.

In your wp-config.php file (root of your site), you’ll see the following lines:

`// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘your-db-name-here’);

/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘your-db-username-here’);

/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘your-db-password-here’);`

Insert your connection info in the appropriate places, save and reupload.

global $blog_id;
echo $blog_id;

Or
In WordPress 3.1, your $blog_id can be found by navigating to the “Network Admin > Sites” page and hovering over the blog in question. You should see a link that resembles this:

http://example.com/wp-admin/network/site-info.php?id=1

Your $blog_id, in this instance, would be 1.

For WordPress 3.0, the $blog_id can be found in the “ID” column of the “Super Admin > Blogs” page.

Hello. See *Info Before Activation* at the bottom of readme.txt included in plugin folder which is not seen in WP repo pages https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/bp-group-frontpage/trunk/readme.txt
I personally haven’t used the plugin since it requires BP Album plugin.

It wasn’t automatically listed in BuddyPress.org plugin directory because plugin dev forgot to “tag” it BuddyPress in plugin file

Take a look here https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks where the difference between the types of permalink are explained. You have the /index.php/ in your permalink settings.This is probably because your hosting provider needs them for your normal WordPress to work, I notice you have reverted to the default which wont work for Buddypress anyway.

Ask your hosting provider for a rewrite.script file so that you can have ‘pretty permalinks’

Not sure, but I believe this has something to do with Multisite.

I don’t believe you can use “wp-login.php?action=register” in Multisite, only “wp-signup.php”.

You might want to create your own signup page. Read the “Worth Mentioning” section here:
http://www.wptavern.com/what-to-do-or-consider-after-you-enable-multisite-in-wordpress#comments (scroll up a bit)

It’s been awhile since I’ve tried out FeedWordPress, but I believe there’s a setting for you to map blog posts to already-created users. You should try that setting out.

I wouldn’t use the “create new users” options in FWP, since any WP user will have a profile in BuddyPress.

[EDIT]
“blocked” and “inactive” roles appear to come from bbPress as this is not native to WordPress. My suggestion would be to *not* use these roles at all for the moment.

If you’re using multisite, just use WordPress’ native Network Admin user administration panel and set users as spammers:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Network_Admin_Users_Screen

Do not use the regular WP admin users screen for this!
https://codex.wordpress.org/Users_Users_SubPanel

== I thought all of that was supposed to be under /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members ==

That would be the folder where template files of bp-default theme is located.
If you installed WordPress in /wordpress folder and activated BP in main site then yes, the default url for members directory would look like …/wordpress/members

You can only install BuddyPress in a self-hosted WordPress blog, i.e. WordPress.org

This would be really important for me, too
