Trouble Accessing the Social Functions of BuddyPress (techno-klutz alert: on)

    Howdy y’all!

    I’m really bad at using technology, so sometimes I wonder why I’m pursuing the things that I am. Alas and alack it seems to be the world we live in. That said, I decided to extend my wordpress blog to the buddypress sphere to have a social networking site.

    I used simple scripts through my host service to install both wordpress (upgraded to 3.0.1) and buddypress (1.2.6). I have not been able to utilize or link to any forums although I have set it up from dashboard. I have all the social functions enabled also.

    My host informs that when I installed wordpress it was not wordpress MU. Could this be the issue? Should I download wordpress MU and then upload it to my host? If I do I can easily import my existing wordpress site?

    Thanks for any and all advice.
    Jon

    “My host informs that when I installed wordpress it was not wordpress MU. Could this be the issue? “
    No, that is not the issue. BP works in single WP.
    But if you want to give your members their own blogs, then you have to go multisite, i.e. create a network.
    You should also check out this article, before installing BuddyPress – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/

    Thank you for your links mercime. I’ve spent most of the morning working my way through them. Should I uninstall buddypress and start over?

    Thanks again, mercime. Things are going better. I still don’t know how to establish activity updates, though.
