How about extracting the contents of the zip files to a folder like
wp-content/plugins/buddypress
I’m going to try that this morning.
So I ftp’d the buddypress folder to /public_html/wp-content/plugins and it IS there. All components are in the folder. The plugin does not show up in plugins page on WP.
It would appear that I am stuck.
– delete all buddypress folder by ftp
– log off wp-admin
– log in on wp-admin
– upload by ftp the buddypress folder (make shure you put on wp-content/plugins) after upload you should have wp-content/plugins/buddypress/”a lot of files and folders”)
– Check plugins again on wp-admin
If you have any error on ftp (deleting the files) :
check the user permissions, depending on server configuration, the files could be with apache permissions instead of your user.
If you are on a sharing hosting ask your support to check the file permissions for you.
I’m beginning to think it is a WP problem, as I cannot update other plugins as well. My server offers pretty good support so I’ve submitted a ticket to get them to have a peek. I’ll let everyone know what they find.
hmmm – installed on another blog that is running 2.9.2 with Thesis. http://foodiesacrossborders.com
Install went fine except that the component pages do not carry over the theme. I guess I have some more reading to do!
Disabled all plugins – then tried updating a few, all went well. Buddypress is now installed.
