Ok I was looking in my Dashboard under my Automatic WordPress Backup and I have about 12 different back ups, all the way till the end of july.
But if I use one of these backups, do I lose all of the work I’ve done since then?
And what happens to the members that have signed up since then? Will I lose them?
i’m doing the same thing. I’m pretty sure it will work. I’ve seen a thread o ver on wishlist that says it will.
haven’t done it yet though, so it’s not a for sure yet
Janrain released it’s lasted version for wordpress 3 .
From it’s news letter :
“New WordPress Plugin
The first version of the new Janrain Engage plugin for WordPress is now available. This version offers several new features including WordPress 3 compatibility and an enhanced UI.”
But I like Gigya SSO rather than Janrain SSO.
“I want to have many users, major emphasis on articles and basically block out all the rest.”
Single install of WP 3.0.1 and you[ don’t even need BuddyPress. You can even use the Mingle Forums plugin which doesn’t require the Mingle plugin or SimplePress Forum plugin. As for central profile area, you can create WP author template plus a WP page template coded to taste for list of authors and you’re done.
Here is what I would like to do, have the absolutely most simple, feature free site that will give me a hubpages type of experience where:
People can:
– Submit Articles
– Have a central profile area
* Optional – forums
* Don’t need group
* Don’t need blogs
In short what’s the best way to go to accomplish this? I want to have many users, major emphasis on articles and basically block out all the rest.
I am trying to automatically download the Buddypress plugin into WordPress in localhost on my local machine at home.
As well as ’Hostname: Localhost’ WordPress is also asking for ’FTP Username:’ and ’FTP password:’, which I believe is used for uploading to a public server and is obviously not required on a personal computer.
Any suggestions on how to get round this would be welcome or have I done something wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Okay, jetzt weiß ich… dass ich nichts über wordpress+buddypress weiß. ^^ Good work!
I have just installed buddypress and it is not working properly, what am I doning wrong. For instance, there are no pages for posting updates like this, creating groups and forums post. What am I supposed to be doing. I installed on top of WordPress 2010 theme and used the compatibility pack… What am I missing. When user log on it does not show the My Account/ Notification menu at all, it still showing the login in /sign up menu strip on top of the page. What am doing wrong. Please help
I am trying to establish a buddypress forum so far so good 
But now I want to localise my site to Danish and now it is just going downhill 
I have established a .po/.mo file using poEdit and when I had translated 50% I tested the translation and so far it worked. So I continued translating and this morning I reached 80% But when I tested the new files everything on my site was in English.
Is the .po file simply too big (1886 lines)?
What can I do?
My BuddyPress/WordPress installation contains only following activated plugins: BuddyPress: Akismet and WK Cleaner!
I host on RackSpace (Cloud Sites) this normally isn’t a problem ever. Do what Paul Gibbs suggests above and then increase the memory allocated for PHP by editing the wp-config.php: https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP
What’s probably happened is that the site out-of-memory’d during the initial installation, so you may need to clean your database and re-install BuddyPress.
I would check all settings in the BP admin section, possibly deactivate/reactivate BP.
Are you running anything other than a bog standard install?
Check the DB do these tables exist?
It turns out that it was running 32M or memory, so I created a .htaccess that increased that to 64M
Now the WP works, but the database is generating errors that the table it is looking for doesnt exist.
Here is the error from the log. Note, I am hosting this in Rackspace Cloud (CloudSites):
[22-Sep-2010 09:15:23] WordPress database error Table ***********.wp_bp_xprofile_groups’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT id FROM wp_bp_xprofile_groups WHERE id = 1 made by require_once, require, do_action, call_user_func_array, xprofile_add_admin_menu, xprofile_install
[22-Sep-2010 09:15:23] WordPress database error Table ***********.wp_bp_xprofile_fields’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT id FROM wp_bp_xprofile_fields WHERE id = 1 made by require_once, require, do_action, call_user_func_array, xprofile_add_admin_menu, xprofile_install
Note, I replaced my DB name with ***********
You will need to supply more information than you have, i.e versions installed, although I asume they are latest stable releases of both.
This is not a common error; WP and BP normally install just fine, 500 is a server error and can be caused by a mis-configured .htaccess rule or lack of PHP script memory and many other factors.
Can you initially confirm how much memory is allocated to PHP script limit it may need to be increased, also what version of PHP you have installed on the server.
Does WP run ok? Don’t activate BP just ensure that WP is installed correctly, that permalinks work as expected.
If you can’t access dashboard rename BP plugin to force a deactivation of it and that should return access to wp-admin
The site comes up, just fine.
Everytime I attempt to login to the wp-admin control panel I get the Internal HTTP 500 error.
Is there something that went wrong? Is this a common error?
Note, this was a brand new wordpress install, on a brand new site, and nothing had been configured
yet at all.
@jimboba My apologies, no you didn’t incur my wrath and weren’t dismissed, sometimes it’s easy to lose track of threads
Using the @mention system does help to ensure we see things flagged to our username.
At times it does become very difficult to help further, especially remotely where we can only ask questions and are divorced from the actual events, normally I have access to all the files such as access/error logs, DB etc so I can effectively troubleshoot issues.
Something else to check might be the settings for wordpress url and site url ; wordpress url should reflect the url path to your sub folder installation?
Is it possible to migrate from Mingle to Buddypress? There just isn’t the features that Buddypress has. Unfortunately, I’m a complete wordpress newbie (i left joomla for wordpress and I love it) and I’m unsure if you can just deactivate mingle and activiate buddypress…will i still have my users and their information?
@DJPaul Thanks for your response. I am not a programmer so 
Folks at WPMU Dev suggested trying this pluggin by JohnJamesJacoby to see if it works:
WP Multi Network
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-multi-network/
Adds a Network Management UI for super admins in a WordPress Multisite environment.
Turn your multi-site installation of WordPress into many multi-site networks, all surrounding one central user base.
WP Multi Network allows cape wearing super admins to create new network collections of sites, allowing for infinitely extensible site, network, and domain arrangements.
@johnjamesjacoby Please advise if I can use this pluggin for my purpose as I explained in the original post above.
Thanks you very much.

Your functions.php file should contain the folowing:
`<?php
//Deals with uppercase username signup problems…maybe
function my_sanitize_user( $username, $raw_username, $strict ) {
$username = $raw_username;
$username = wp_strip_all_tags( $username );
$username = remove_accents( $username );
// Kill octets
$username = preg_replace( ‘|%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])|’, ”, $username );
$username = preg_replace( ‘/&.+?;/’, ”, $username ); // Kill entities
// If strict, reduce to ASCII for max portability.
if ( $strict )
$username = preg_replace( ‘|[^a-z0-9 _.-@]|i’, ”, $username );
// Consolidate contiguous whitespace
$username = preg_replace( ‘|s+|’, ‘ ‘, $username );
return $username;
}
add_filter( ‘sanitize_user’, ‘my_sanitize_user’, 100, 3 );
?>`
At least that’s what mine has and it works fine.
I’m also using this plugin to notify users if this would be a problem for them also: http://buddydev.com/buddypress/creating-a-buddypress-wordpress-username-availability-checker-for-your-site/ Although, I think I modified the script so it would only warn for certain use cases. I also did just realize that it doesn’t work for IE. Haven’t had a chance to see why yet. So, it’s good that I have both.
It’s up to individual plugin authors to include such a button, since WordPress itself isn’t really aware of the extra databases being created. I agree that it’s good practice for a plugin to include a button like this. But since BP doesn’t have one, it’s pretty simple to just drop the tables in question when you’re done using the plugin.
Wouldn’t it be better if the option of deleting the corresponding plugin database tables were build in within the wordpress administration. Drupal handles uninstalling plugins this way which is very handy.
