Not quite sure where to find those, will keep looking

Thanks for your continued help by the way. I am suspicious about the blog subdirectory and think that may be related to the problem since there is already a blogs folder in Buddypress. I started to look for a setting to correct it in the Buddy press setting in the dashboard but couldn’t find any way to change that path to correct things. Perhaps a change in a php file?

I’ve done a complete reinstall of WPMU 2.8.4 and Buddypress 1.0.3 and still having the same problem. Everything works okay until I activate Buddypress. Then two things happen:

1. When I go into themes (general themes not buddypress themes) and hit preview on any theme I get this warning:

You do not have any BuddyPress themes installed.

Please move “/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/” to “/wp-content/bp-themes/” and refresh this page. You can download more themes here.

2. The front page of my WPMU site turns into a blog directory that does not recognize the other blogs in my site even though they are visible and accesible in the pulldown menu that Buddypress adds to the top of the site. I can no longer access posts in that blog or change the theme.

I definitely did the moving of the folders so that is not the problem.

Is it because I am using subdirectories and not subdomains?

It feels like my WPMU install is looking at the wrong themes folder, could that be it?

Really at a loss here thanks for the help

I forgot to add that when I go into the home blog admin and try to select a different scene, the preview states that:

You do not have any BuddyPress themes installed.

Please move “/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/” to “/wp-content/bp-themes/” and refresh this page. You can download more themes here.

Although I definitely have those themes installed.
