I’ve redownloaded everything back to the original server, and even made sure to upload (specifically) the bp-themes folder from here. After disabling bphome and just running on the classic wordpress theme whenever I visit any of the pages that involve BP scripts I get the error.
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.
The files are in the right place and when I go to BuddyPress settings as a site administrator both the bpmember and skeleton member themes are available. I’ve tried the click it method I’ve seen in other posts but its not working. Do you have another tactic at fixing that situation? I think that is whats causing the majority of these 404’s.
I’ve been having the same problems. All the theme files were placed in the right spots and now a few of the pages on the front end work, but most of the user specific stuff is still popping 404s. I have a post in the how-to section that died about about this topic. Looks like we’re S.O.L. for a bit until someone has a eureka moment.
After trying everything I could via the host I was using at ipower.com – I decided to try loading the whole nine yards on another host to see if it would work. This time I tried hostmonster.com – still no success – which means it *has* to be something *I’m* doing wrong.
Regarding #4 I just double checked, the define site id line *is* there, so it should be the correct version.
You might try skimming through https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2511
I’ve been battling the same problem – except mine extends to several of the pages like “The Wire” “Activity” and a few other places.
1. Current Default version of PHP: 4. This is the default version of PHP that your site is currently using. Note that you can always choose between PHP4 and PHP5 for individual files by naming them with the corresponding extension. (Copied from IPower.com)
2. Haven\’t made any changes to the default .htaccess file
3. This might be the problem. I loaded the \”htaccess.dist\” with the files assuming it would put the .htaccess file. I\’ve tried three different buddypress installation ways – one through searching for the plugin inside wp-admin, one by installing the zip from here in the wp-admin, and one by ftp\’ing the contents of the zip. I would imagine one of them would have copied it over.
4. I installed WPMU from scratch, including making a new mySQL database for it right before loading BP.
5. No other plugins, pretty much running vanilla until I can get the pages I need working.
What do you think?
I just got off the phone with the folks hosting the server and they’ve corrected the incorrect session problem. Now visiting any of the buddypress pages don’t produce any error logs – but I’m still having the Page Not Found error on the activity, wire, friends, edit profile etc pages.
Whats the next step?
Thanks Jeff Sayre, I’ll contact them tonight.

Sorry for the confusion! Let me try to re-explain the process I followed.
I’ve loaded the buddypress addon and moved all the folders to their appropriate spot.
Then, I enabled the “BuddyPress Default Home Theme” under the Site Admin dropdown.
I clicked through to the Appearance drop-down, and when I go to activate the theme, the screenshot loads with the error message regarding the misplacement of bp-themes directory. So I double checked the placement of the folder, and verified they are in the correct spot – despite what the error message says.
I activated the file anyway, and then click the BuddyPress drop down and changed the “Member theme” to Skeleton, saved it, then switched it back, and saved it again.
I activated user registration so you can sign up now as well, hopefully that will help.

1. Yes – at the top of my screen it says “You’re logged in as a site administrator.” I’ve been going in through nacdb.com/members/wp-admin/ with the admin login and its password.
2. I reset the error log, visited the buddypress setup, and copied the errors it produced at the bottom of this post. I seem to get the same one over and over.
3. I’ve reselected the member theme (even switched it to the skeleton one and back) without any success.

Thanks for all the help guys!
I’ve tried switching to the skeleton theme and back, as mention in another post but still haven’t had any success.
I think I’ve narrowed down the problem. The installation isn’t recognizing the fact that bp-themes is in the wp-content directory.
Even though the two options for Member and Skeleton themes are available through the buddypress settings panel, whenever I try to load the BP theme itself after activating it the large screenshot that comes up just says “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. “
However I’ve verified, and re-verified, and re-verified again that bp-themes is, in fact, in the wp-content folder along with themes plugins mu-plugins etc.
Anyone know what could be causing this?
I just removed BP from the WMU completely, then reinstalled it following the directions at https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypress/ to the T and the same problem is still happening.
Pages that seem to work
members/
members/blog
members/members
members/groups
members/blogs
Pages that don’t work
members/activity
members/wire
members/friends
members/admin
members/admin/profile
members/admin/messages
members/admin/settings
members/admin/groups
members/members/admin/profile/change-avatar
members/members/admin/activity/just-me
members/members/admin/activity/my-friends
(and the rest of the links at the top left on the toolbar dropdowns)
To answer both questions the setup/directory listing for buddypress is
nacdb.com/members/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/
nacdb.com/members/wp-content/themes/bphome/
nacdb.com/members/wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/
members/ contains all of WMU – its not in the root directory.
You installed BuddyPress in http://www.example.com/members ?
That was just an example of the structure that the links seem to follow – not the actual url.
The actual url is nacdb.com/members
wp-content >> themes >> bphome
wp-content >> bp-themes >> bpmember
Thats how I’ve got my files set up – so if thats correct then things should be working appropriately. I can’t figure out why the things like “edit profile” etc don’t seem to work.
No Luck.
I tried removing the duplicate files, then reactivating the theme.
When I went to reactivate the theme the screen that pops up that should you the screenshot of the theme and has the “Activate This Theme” at the top right had this message:
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.
However, I’m staring at my ftp screen and its already there!
Thanks! I’ll give it a shot.
I think we might be thinking of different things. I was just saying I used the “Profile Fields” option under the “Site Admin” drop down in wp-admin to add a few more fields beyond just name and email (the defaults).
There are only two users so far – “admin” (where I alter stuff) – and a basic user account I made just to test out the site and see if from the subscriber standpoint – not admin.
However on the page that should load up a users profile, including their name, avatar, etc – it loads the header, footer, sidebar, but in the “content” area it just says “Edit this entry.” with a link that just refreshes the page.
I made 8 custom profile text fields, like City, Company, Title etc. They “worked” as in when a user goes to the signup page they show up and get filled out they way they are supposed to.
The default email thing is in the WMU options where you can automatically send an email to folks who sign up. The default value is something like “Thanks for signing up for your blog… etc”. I changed it to “Thanks for creating your profile… etc” in the settings. However the email I got when I created a subscriber account was the original blog one.
Hope that clarifies it.
1. Which versions of WPMU and BuddyPress are you running? WMU 2.7.1 – The latest BP, just downloaded it yesterday.
2. You say that you were \”beginning to alter the colors\”. I assume you\’re using the default BuddyPress themes and you only worked with the CSS files. Is that true? Or, did you make changes to some of the php files as well? I added some copywrite info to the footer.php – but other then that I only touched the css of the default template.
3. Are you running this on localhost or a remote site? Remote site, IPower.com.
Does that help? Thanks a bunch.
That sounds about like what I was looking for. Good Idea. Thanks.
