Shouldn’t the template be tested before being distributed from the main site? First the buddy press plug ins don’t install correctly until you go and reset a value in the wp_sitemeta table in the database. Then you have to download a BP enable theme – could you not distribute a default theme with the plugin or at least mention it somewhere? Then the random theme i pick doens’t even work because is missing something as basic as an index.php.
I know this is a free project etc, but how is one supposed to trust you if you can’t even get the basics right?
Did the same as David Lewis – cleared the meta_value form the record in wp_sitemeta with ‘active_sitewide_plugin’ as meta_key, and it worked. Not sure what thestasi is on about.
Now, I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but… shouldn’t you guys check these things before you release them? Mine was a fresh MU install and a fresh BuddyPress install. I am test-driving BuddyPress for a possible client, the fact it doesn’t even install correctly it’s not encouraging.
