BuddyPress.org

I’ve just experienced the same problem. Installation via WordPress ‘appears’ to be successful but when accessing BP interface I get ‘Page cannot be found’.

Checked the files via ftp and the ‘blogs’ folder that BP wants to access is empty except for a ‘media’ folder with a ‘.hidden’ file in it.

So it seems that the files were not copied to the correct location. Check the folder permissions and they are 755.

Using a new install of WP 3.0.1.

Anyone help?

You could hack together something like Lifestream fairly easily using https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-external-activity/. There’s no interface for it yet, but the infrastructure is all there.

Jeff Sayre has said that he’ll be releasing his Privacy Component shortly after 1.2.6 is released.

The kind of rich tagging you’re talking about really isn’t possible at the moment. Only when BP’s core components are converted into WordPress content types (like custom post types) will they be able to easily inherit WP’s taxonomy functionality. I’m guessing that will happen in the BP 1.4 range. The good news is that, once it does, tagging/categorization will be totally seamless.

The social features of BuddyPress are in addition to, not in place of, the ‘posting’ features of WordPress. If you set up a WP site so that users can write and publish new blog posts, BuddyPress won’t change that.

Here’s a helpful tutorial: http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/14/adding-categories-and-tags-to-your-posts/

I’m using buddypress 1.2.5.2 (latest version) and wordpress 3.0.1(latest version).

What i’ve done so far: I’ve gone to ‘Profile Field Setup’ on the WordPress Dashboard under the Link ‘Buddypress’ and added the fields ‘Business Type’ with a drop down box of three options – DJs, Venue or Promoter. So when users register they choose one of these business types. I wanted these to show up on the members directory so put in to members-loop.php this code:

`<?php

//code inside the members-loop.php

$business_type= xprofile_get_field_data( “Business Type” ,bp_get_the_site_member_user_id());//fetch the text for business type

?>`

and i’ve tried:

“

Anyone have any idea where i’m going wrong?

Why not use this version?

Because as djpaul mentioned above, it’s outdated. WP 3.0.1 single or multisite with BP 1.2.5.2 is the way to go. In addition to stronger WP security and better features, you’ll be missing out on the BP plugin extension goodness which are only available and actively developed for current BP version – https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/

Is there any way to get this theme on the new version?

Ah, it’s do-able but porting it would take some time to do so with all the customization in layout and coding to make it work with BP 1.2.5.2. There are free and premium BP child/regular themes which can further customize to taste. And, if you have WP theme, use BP Template Pack to bring over BP social networking goodness.

Cool. I’ve always wanted to play a vampire Kidding aside, BP 1.2.5.2 and WP 3.0.1 install is the way to go. If you haven’t yet, check these out

Many have customized BuddyPress themes and majority are on latest BP/WP versions.

Cheers.

I really shouldn’t encourage you to continue with BP 1.1 series nor using old WPMU versions:-) … but that BP 1.1 series requires WPMU 2.8.4a (per old record of mine) Click on download link near bottom of page

BP 1.2 series support single WordPress

I also have the same problem and I’m not hosting on bluehost or godaddy, ‘mail from’ plugin does not seem to fix the issue.

I use the ‘configure SMTP’ plugin for all three wordpress sites on this same hosting accout, all work except for the one where BP is installed. I believe this to be a BP issue since the problem follows BP, not the hosting company which hosts the WP/BP installs.

WP 3.0.1 and BP 1.2.5.2

update: uninstalled ‘configure smtp’ plugin, installed ‘WP-Mail-SMTP’, and ‘mail from’ = success! I hope this helps someone else too!
