    Hi.

    Where does WPMU keep its list of current blogs?

    I am trying to de-bug an issue many have had with WPMU and Buddypress where any previously created blogs will be ignored by BP and not listed in its lists of blogs.

    Having a look in the database, this might actually be a WPMU issue ... i.e. that WPMU is not informing Buddypress of pre-existing blogs.

    Where does WPMU keep its list of current blogs that it passes to Buddypress so that I can update it manually in MYSQL perhaps allowing pre-existing blogs (blogs set up before BP was installed) to be listed by BP?

    In BP, on the /members/username/blogs list it will say,

    user 'hasn't created any public blogs yet'

    However ...

    the blog does exist, it and posts on it WILL show up elsewhere.

    I have tried activating and deactiving BP. I have tried toggling privacy. Nothing seems to work. There are a few posts on the BP forum about this and a tracback. It would be great if a developer could report how to bug fix this, or at least point out which tables in the database have to b manually edited in order to fix this.
    It is a serious problems.

    (If a new blog is created, it is seen and reported as existing, everything else works)

    I am using 1.1.2 and WPMU 2.8.4.

    Thanks.

    It's a buddypress issues, as the same issue is not present if Buddypress is deactivated.

    The list of blog are stored in the wp_blogs table.

    And the Buddypress guys say it is a Wordpress problem ... Buddypress does not see blogs that were created before Buddypress was installed.

    I cannot find the table or marker that signifies or where to update the list manually.

    The two bits are not talking to each other.

    Without having even looked at buddypress, my guess is that buddy press creates a separate table to store meta information about blogs, and doesn't have a script to run on install to populate the already created blogs. That's my guess.
