Thanks for your reply, I actuly tried something different last night and it worked out ok. I am using the “BP disable Activation” and in a menu I chose the option “User accounts may be registe4rd” Before I had it on “Both sites and user accounts can be registered.” And it was causing the mix up with the plug in on MU. Users would be able to type their password but with the blog activated, the system gave a new password (that people probably would not see, thinking the password was what they typed in) Then an email would send a notification with the activation link. The link would not work saying the error message with the activation key. However teh activation key was in the link to click but would not work when clicked. Sorry for the rambling just trying to make it clear what I did.

But now a user can register with out activation (which I think is nice, but no blog) But what I like is, that I can create a blog for a user and give them access by just putting their user email in the “ad site” for multi user and it shows up under their account.

I guess it could be nice if this could be a future feature maybe let people sign up with out a blog with an option in the email sent to create one or maybe a notifification to a new user in the admin bar or something. (it would help with sploggers)

Thanks again

Thanks for the suggestions every one, I will consider all of these as well as maybe posting a job for someone to set it up for me if it is above my knowledge. I know basic HTML, but no programer and I just build sites with WP and Joomlaor use Dreamweaver and I know how to edit CSS a bit.

Thanks again everyone

Thank You and that should work with regular Buddypress and creating custom banner ads. I am very excited, my other question is that will it work with MU, I got two sites one is MU, that I am having problems with (I think it could be hosting) and the other is my Buddypress with out MU and seems to be running smooth but will upgrade to MU soon.

Many Thanks

Thanks Mercime,

I downloaded the zip files and extracted them via cpanel from hostgator. Same problem, I even installed BP MU with wp 3.0 on another domain and account to test it and same outcome. It is not picking up the Twnety Ten Theme but everything else works. I am using my reseller account, I don’t know if that would be an issue. Also I noticed my “.htacccess” file (i think i pronounced it right) was burried in BB Press. (that’s where I added step 3 in copying the rewrite files). I don’t know if that has anything to do with it? Also it was set up with fantastico for wordpress 2.9.2 then I changed it to 3.0.

This not meant to be a double post but rather more detailed information that I found out last night. The problem has to do with any other user other then super admin that tries to create a blog from the front end.(super admin/admin work from backend posting blogs) Everything else seems to be working but I notice that when a user tries to create a blog, it goes to (a non template looking page) links are spread all around and stuff also missing picture box for theme. I noticed that all of those blogs are using “twenty ten” The BP MU main uses BP Default with out a problem. I also got the same error with (Broken Themes (Site Admin Only)….”bp-default” style sheet is missing.) I looked at the files and notice that there is not .css sheet in bp-default and I see other themes in my theme folder and all of them have the .css file ect. I think I know what to do but still unsure, but I am wondering why the bp-default works with the whole site. So I guess the problem is that the admin blogs from the front end does not know what stylesheet?

I loaded wp2.9.2 forst then upgraded it to 3.0 however unsure if I added buddypress before update or after. I also loaded buddypress from finding it on the plugin search within in wordpress. Other information is that at first I did the buddypress template pack tried it then uninstalled it, reinstalled it and now it is uninstalled. I tried about 5 hours last night and still same stuff.

Any suggestions would be great
