Mariusooms, I’m having the exact same issue as gtstigall & Anthony. Same versions of everything as gtstigall, same error as the one Anthony posted.

I’m using subdomains, and indeed I only get the error when trying to create the group blog during group creation.

There’s a clue in the database… In the table wp_bp_groups_groupmeta the groupblog_blog_id value isn’t numeric for groups that exhibit this particular issue. Here’s an example value:

O:8:”WP_Error”:2:{s:6:”errors”;a:1:{s:10:”blog_taken”;a:1:{i:0;s:20:”Site already exists.”;}}s:10:”error_data”;a:0:{}}

Might help for you to tie in your twitter account with your blog using a plug-in like Tweet This. That’s how I like to keep track of other blogs.

ourlifeintext: Yeah, I can understand the apprehension. Glad you clicked through anyway. Cheers!

olko-polko: Thanks, it’s a modified version of Arras Theme. Being a developer, I usually like to start from scratch or my own base code, but this time I wanted the focus to be on the content itself, so props go to the theme developer.

Cool, your site is similar to my new site, but yours appears to be chock full of content. Wish I could read it!

Critique: many of the image thumbnails appear to be squashed or stretched.

Thanks ?? Well once upon a time (many sites ago) the theme was Starkers. But I’ve built my own robust and flexible theme out of it. For example, my site AmibitionLab uses the same theme, and it’s a very different layout.

This was the first time I used it for a store, and what I’ve done is used categories as content types, basically. So in my single.php it detects the post category, and that determines how the theme formats the post. I’ve written tons of functions built on top of WordPress’s API to make all this really easy.

I’ll have to give some thought to packaging it & releasing it. In the mean time, feel free to email me. raj at ambitionlab dot com.

The e-commerce uses FoxyCart, by the way.

It may be possible… but is it advisable? My main objective is to minimize CPU load on a very busy site. What I can’t figure out is whether I should have just one or the other (which one lowers CPU load the most?), or both?

I just ran into this problem with NextGEN v1.3.5.

Solution (b) solved the problem (thanks!). Rare as this error may be, I think you might want to consider implementing that code in the next version of your plugin.
