Topic: Trouble creating a new user
Hi, I just installed BuddyPress on a site but I’m not being able to find where do I enable to others create accounts.
I went to Settings > General and checked “Anyone can register” but it doesn’t allow a new user.I’ll be very glad if anyone can give me a hint.
I’m using WordPress 3.01
I’ve been playing around with my Buddypress installation, trying to understand the system. One thing I don’t really understand is the concept behind the WP vs. BP profiles. I understand that BP profiles are public and WP profile fields are private, and that some information, like the main account email is mirrored between the two. I suppose that back when BP was born there wasn’t much to do with the WP profile information, but now there are appparently core functions allowing the extension of the standard profile fields. Since the BP-members are necessarily WP members, I think that the user management should be integrated, with BP-xprofiles offering a front end UI fpr profile editing and a way to make the information public.
So, basically, I guess my question is – does anyone know of documents explaing how and why the current x-profile/WP-structure is done the way it is, and, possibly, how it is done in a bit more detailed way. I couldn’t find anything.
Thanks!

Ok so this is my first try at buddypress, and it looks like it will work for what I need, I just can’t get it functional! Any help would be greatly appreciated. We’re a non-profit robotics team based in SD and are using (our host is Bluehost) a current version wordpress install with the buddypress plugin turned on, also with the Group Documents plugin for group collaborative storage. 4 issues:
1. When I an account gets created, I want the default role to be “author”, I con’t find where to set this, but even if I could……
2. when I try to create an account, I get to the “Accounted Created” screen, but never get a confirmation email, and cannot login because am never given the chance to authenticate. What do I need to do to get accounts working right?
3. When trying to redirect our url to the site, when editing in the wordpress General Settings, when I change the “Site URL” to be our pointed url, and not the url that is the location of the wordpress install…. The site breaks. How can I get our url to point at the site correctly?
4. The menu items at the top of the page are controlled where? It has groups, forums, the blog page, and any static parent pages by default… but I can’t figure out where to set these to display how/where they’re displayed. Is this control possible easily?
Hi there.
I installed and configured buddypress. When I was doing so, I created a sub-directory on my website known as “/social-network” off the main site. So my old site would be still operational upon working on the Buddypress configuaration.
So when I was ready, I migrated everything from the “/social-network” directory to the main root directory. And changed all references to “/social-network” as I thought. Here are the list of reference changes I made.
1-In wordpress backend set the website to the Root-directory instead of “/social-network”
2-Went manually into the database, downloaded via SQL and changed every “/social-network” directory to the root directory. Then re-uploaded the database via SQL
3-Change the BP-Config file to reference the Root directory. Only area which needed adjusting was the forumsEverything is work great, except the upload picture feature for users profile (Regular Media uploads work fine for the articles). Ie. when users first join and try to upload a picture. THe picture uploads correctly, but doesn’t get SHOWN correctly. Since it gets uploaded to the “www.website/social-network/wp-uploads/avatar” directory. And the picture reference is “www.website/wp-uploads/avatar” (As it should be).
When I downloaded from the server the contents of “www.website/social-network/wp-uploads/avatar” and upload it to “www.website/wp-uploads/avatar” the picture shows correctly. So it’s merely not being uploaded to the right place.
I digged around in the Buddypress plug in directory(Like bp-core file) to see if the old path is embedded (“/social-network) in there. Couldn’t find it. And I’m pretty sure I changed all references in the SQL database. Where is this path for the Avatar Upload?
Thanks

I am getting an error when activating the plugin BuddyPress Maps
Fatal error: fatal flex scanner internal error–end of buffer missed in /home/vashokk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-maps/bp-maps.php on line 594
One other guy asked a similar question here :http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-maps-fatal-error?replies=2
Does anybody have idea on this issue?
Hi all –
After upgrading a 2.something WPMU site with BP 1.1 to WP 3.0 multisite and BP 1.2.5 and changing to the new bp-default theme, everything went great. Except …
Despite only having the bp-default theme set as a network theme (no other themes exist), newly created sites are getting pegged with a “WordPress Default” theme. And since that doesn’t exist, it’s a whitescreen of death if the user doesn’t go in and activate the BP theme. I see the WordPress Default as the option in the DB for newly created sites.
What’s going on here? How can this be fixed?
