BuddyPress.org

Probably beyond the scope of what we can do in 1.3. Moving the WordPress filter sounds hacky and best and would probably break someone else’s plugin, so I’d imagine that this would get resolved with the more extensive changes in 1.4.

I reproduced the problem and found a solution.

bbforum is not creating its tables or entries after using the one-click install on Dreamhost. Dreamhost’s one-click install yields a unique wp-config.php file with several differences that might be the problem. bb-config.php settings were fine.

A manual installation fixes the problem.

@cmroybal – you might be able to fix wp-config.php. If that doesn’t work, a fresh manual installation will definitely do the trick. It isn’t too difficult. You can create a database within Dreamhost (rather the phpmyadmin), and upload WordPress via ftp. After that, it takes about 1 minute for the WP install.

For those of you wondering if the problem related to multisite — it does not. I have that working as well.

“There was an error when creating the topic” really should say “There was an error because of a one-click install.”

Apparently, the link no longer exists on WPMUDev; the developer of the plugin says the next release will be available on wordpress.org/extend/plugins/.

Specifically for BuddyPress? No.

But since BuddyPress runs on WordPress, and since wordpress has a lot of plugins, try that.

The new bbpress plugin being created for wordpress right now can be used like any other forum.

The forum option within buddypress can be disabled (the group-specific one).

That happened to me once. I know that I had to change back to admin. But I don’t remember the steps as it was over a year ago with the old buddy.

I searched and didn’t find but I swore someone had created a WordPress theme to look like bp-default @Andrea_r

Basically, to clarify: you only need to use a BuddyPress theme on the main site where Buddypress is activated. On the user blogs, just use a regular wordpress theme.

@MrNiceGuy2 unfortunately the page you linked to in first post now goes to required registration page. Looking back to your first post == How do I edit these pages!? ==

When you go through the BP Template Pack process, 13 files in 6 folders are transferred to your active WP theme and those are the files you need to revise, and not the template files in BP Template Pack itself.

Your bb-config.php database username and password is in the file, if you open it and look, it’s pretty easy to spot.

The file should be in the root of the wordpress installation

If you open the header.php file you can see that 2010 theme and bp-defaut are calling two different site names. I don’t think this will work but you can try to add bp_site_name() instead of what 2010 uses bloginfo( ‘name’ );

The problem is new sites are not BuddyPress sites they are just using the same WordPress database as the main site. So new sites have their own names and such.

A link to your site would also be helpful.

Can you be more specific than a raging capital letter title?

== my users to upload their mp3’s and images to my site – on my storage.. on my hard disk.. not on those hosting servers==

There’s a plugin BP-Gallery ($30) which can do what you need above with images and audio uploads plus video uploads and video embeds.for single user and/or groups.

There’s also the BuddyPress Media/BP Album+ plugin
stable version – images – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-album/, https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/
beta version – images, audio, video embeds – in Google code repo
