BuddyPress 1.0b1 Components
December 15th, 2008 in News by Andy Peatling
The first beta release of completed BuddyPress components and themes is now available via the download page.
Each component and theme in this beta stage is feature complete for its 1.0 version. The purpose of the beta is to weed out any bugs not found in the pre-release stage and ramp up the plugins to production quality.
If you install BuddyPress and give it a test run, we’d really appreciate your feedback and bug reports in trac. You can also find a list of known bugs.
Thank you to everyone who has helped make this first beta a reality. It’s been ten months of hard work to get to this stage. We’re almost there, there’s only a little bit further to go.

On December 16, 2008Congrats on the beta release.
In the instructions “Installing BuddyPress from the Combo Download”, I think the last line in the fourth point should read “wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member” and not as “wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-home”.
Is that Correct ?

On December 16, 2008Thanx alot for this beta release! I’ve done an update a few minutes ago and it’s lookin’ good.
There is a little bug at installation howto text on http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypres-from-combo/
Here’s wrong text:
“You should now have the following folder locations “wp-content/themes/buddypress-home” and “wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-home”
Here’s right (I think so;)
“You should now have the following folder locations “wp-content/themes/buddypress-home” and “wp-content/member-themes”.

On December 16, 2008Hi Andy!!!!!
You have done a great job on Buddypress!!!!!!
My question is should we wait until Wordpress MU 2.7 is released before starting a buddypress site?
Thanks!!!!!!

On December 16, 2008@Badsmiley @Arun: Thanks for noticing the typo, it’s now fixed.

On December 16, 2008@Jehy: If you find places in the code that are not translatable, please report them as they are easily missed.
Arun said:
On December 16, 2008Another two things to correct.
1. The link to buddypress blog is not there from the buddypress codex.
2. The “Note” at the top of buddypress codex still reads “BuddyPress is still pre-release. The first official release is scheduled for the end of 2008.” and not pointing to the download page.

On December 23, 2008I’m not QUITE ready to use the BuddyPress homepage as the front page of my site. But, I want members to have access to the other goodies.
How do I go about this? Simply not move the buddypress-home theme to the “themes folder”?
