    Greetings everyone,

    I am a member of Marin Professionals Association, which is a non profit community of unemployed professionals sponsored by EDD .Since April I have been searching and testing different formats of WordPress templates but recently in their website showcase, I found an incredible website: “”www.umwblogs.org” that our community would really benefit from .So now I am trying to recreate our “marinprofessionals.com” website with the same capabilities that http://www.umwblogs.org” has.

    1) I have registered the domain (marinprofessionals.com) and am hosting it with Godaddy,

    2) I uploaded the MUWP 2.4.8a version zip file to my godaddy account and unziped it.

    3) From godaddy I uploaded the BuddyPress zip 1.1.2 version and unziped it as well

    Please bear with me…as I have some questions that may seem silly to you…

    1. my plan was to create each page starting with the home page from a WPMU template and then add the sliding panels and user login capability similar to “”www.umwblogs.org”

    but the problem is I don”t see any templates available in WPMU. can you please help me to get started in the right direction?

    first question is, do you have buddypress up and running and does everything work like it’s supposed to (eg. forums/messaging/status updates/etc.)? also, are you on a dedicated server at godaddy?

    Instead of downloading wordpress to my PC and then uploading to Godaddy(I ran into all kinds of problems that way…)

    On january of 2010 I used godaddy automated script from hosting control center to automatically install wordpress 2.9.1 into my hosting account. My current account detail in godaddy for marinprofessionals.com is as follows:

    Domain : marinprofessionals.com

    Hosting Login : wandilly

    Server IP Address : 97.74.215.63

    Dedicated Hosting IP : 173.201.83.101

    On January 2010 I also was able to upload the Current Theme to the marinprofessionals.com hosting account in godaddy is called :

    Sliding Door 1.8.7 by Wayne Connor

    (A unique template featuring sliding images in the header based on phatfusion imagemenu. Look at theme homepage to see the menu in action – the preview does not work on wordpress.org!!!! Sliding images in header link to pages, or can be redirected using the Page Links To plugin. The theme has a comprehensive support forum to help you get started at http://mac-host.com/support)

    As far as Buddypress, back in October of 2009, I downloaded the version of I downloaded the bpress 1.1.1zip version and uploaded to godaddy and then unzipped there which create a buddypress folder in the html directory of godaddy. Nevertheless, I also see another version of bpress zip (1.0.2) which was uploaded in January 2010…

    My website I was able to change the appearance of the sliling door of marinprofessionals but am not sure if it was done correctly. I would like help adding a directory capability and enable the creation of individuals blogs per each user registration…similar to what’s is avalable for the ” http://www.umwblogs.org” website … During 2009 I have tried to get help/answers from dirrent forums but was not able to make it work, could you please help??

    “and uploaded to godaddy and then unzipped there which create a buddypress folder in the html directory of godaddy.”

    The plugin folder needs to go in wp-content/plugins/.

    have you tried installing it from the admin area of WordPress? Go to the plugin menu and pick Install New.
