Hi – I just ran into this error with BP1.2 final and redid the install and the problem went away. The two things I did:

1. If installing on localhost, edit /etc/hosts and add:

127.0.0.1 bplocal.com

and then access the installer using http://bplocal.com

2. After creating a child blog, set the permalink structure to be the same as the root blog. I set them to year/month.

Hopefully this will help.

I was able to create a child theme of bp-default using the instructions above. I just imported the stylesheet, and copied header.php and sidebar.php and tweaked them a bit. Worked a charm! Thanks

“The default theme isn’t intended to be used on hosted blogs on a WPMU install, so the links do break as you’ve found.”

Oh… I see. Thank you! With that information, I have now found this and will give it a shot (I guess it’s obvious, but I was just confused about how it was supposed to work):

Hi, could you be more specific about this, because I’m not seeing anything in wp-config that would affect this. Thanks
