Add me to that question also. I have been playing around with this for some time trying to figure out how I can integrate the two separate profile systems. Is there a reason for the redundancy? I am particularly worried that people will change their “Website” field in the WordPress profile, messing up the link which Buddypress uses. I don’t want to disable the user profile on WordPress, but it is definitely a problem.
Not trying to bump here, but I thought I should mention, the problem seems to definitely be in the modified Home theme. When I switch to the default BuddyPress Home theme, it works okay.
I think the problem is the same as I was having. It is a known incompatibility bug between WPMU 2.8.1 and BP 1.0.2. Instead of member themes, the settings box is displaying the list of home themes.
The only workaround I found was to go directly into the database and change the member theme.
I too am confused about this. “BuddyPress > General Settings > Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages” just gives me a list of my regular installed themes (minus bphome), but there are no “member” themes in the list. Is this a bug?
The problem is, I want “Home” for the logged in user to be their personal chosen blog page, instead of the main blog. I don’t know how to do this except to call the url with a wordpress php function.
I don’t see how Buddypress is using this field. When I change it to a different url in the backend, Buddypress member links still take me to their profile. Or, is it used in some other way?
