Does this plugin work for version 1.1.3? Or are there other versions and hacks floating around that work?
I’ll try after coffee…
i always got the error “Please fill in all of the required fields” 
No, I even tested the default theme. It still has the massive error codes. But there are no really dynamic themes out there for buddypress/wordpress pages, so i figure since 1.2 is new to regular wordpress then it may just take some time. I can be patient.
Double-check your theme’s functions file at /wp-content/themes/wp-clear-basic/functions.php to make sure you added
include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/bp/bp-functions.php' ); right at the top after the opening php tag.
If it’s there, try disabling other plugins one-by-one to see if they might be interfering. The Coming Soon plugin in particular.
And if disabling plugins doesn’t work, try providing some more information because it will make it easier for others to help. https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/when-asking-for-support
Cool, I ‘m sure that’s the problem. I’ll check it out.
Works great! Thanks for the plugin 
Same here.. please report your setup in the bug ticket guys:

I am having the same problem. I cannot add blogs from the admin panel though I can from /blogs/create. I tried creating blogs without BuddyPress installed and it worked so it doesn’t seem to be a WPMU problem. I tried with an earlier version of buddypress and it worked as well so it seems to be something with buddypress 1.2. It looks like the problem is that it isn’t correctly adding the blog tables to the database.
Andy is right…I’ve tried about six or seven themes and the issues are largely tied to the ‘content’ div not matching up, although I have at least one theme that doesn’t recognize the admin bar. Very good start though!
I can confirm that this is a Buddypress problem as I have disabled the plug-in, and created a blog with success.
However, when the plug-in is active, the creation of blogs are thrown into an error giving the following:
When editing:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/public_html/wp-admin/wpmu-blogs.php on line 149
And when visiting:
The blog you have requested is not installed properly. Please contact the system administrator.
As for Angophora instruction, I am sorry but I am confused. You may need to clarify, and also if this is on a Window or Linux box. What about a solution for those who are not on a localhost?
…I just don’t see the sense in BuddyPress needing to treat usernames in a different manner than WordPress does. It smacks of a questionable design decision, that’s all.
Regardless, I’m not getting this problem in BuddyPress 1.2 it seems…
…although in BuddyPress 1.2 I’m getting “There was a problem posting your update, please try again.” everytime I try to do anything, but that’s a different story.
@armandmorin – it’s more than likely either the “container” or “content” div in your WordPress theme. The BuddyPress template pack uses:
[header]
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
[content]
</div>
<div id="sidebar">
[sidebar]
</div>
</div>
[footer]
If your WordPress theme doesn’t match this, then there are about 6 or 7 templates (mainly members/index.php groups/index.php etc etc) that you will need to tweak this html layout in to match the one used by your theme.
Once you have it matched, then the content should sit in the correct place and not break the layout. If you’re using a theme with this HTML layout, then you should be fine off the bat.
That’s pretty much how to do it. You have to go thru the BP files you added to your theme and change the markup to match your WP theme.
Updated to Buddypress 1.2. Problem is still there.
However, the activity shows now at least two activities, some old activities that must be from an old cache file or something. Any clues?

@geoffm33 – ah yes I can instantly understand why. You can tell my test sites don’t often exceed 20 users! Sorry for this and I will get a fix out this evening.
And the delete_blog_option – I’m actually blaming this on BuddyPress as it has missed this function from its regular WordPress compatibility files. Again fix out this evening.. thanks very much for the feedback, it is appreciated.
I’ve tried this on two standard WordPress themes and it breaks the CSS in the theme each time at the content section. any ideas on this?
These are the directions I used.

In addition, disable BuddyPress and use the regular WPMU theme. Can you register new blogs successfully? If you can’t, you have a WPMU problem, not BuddyPRes.s
We need to version that .zip otherwise we are going to have to wade through hundreds of confusing topics in future BP versions.
Report this as a bug on https://trac.buddypress.org/, I think init is too early.
Plus, if you’re finding bugs, I hope you are contributing them to https://trac.buddypress.org/
Awesome. Thanks! One small tweak. This code just outputs the slug with an initial capital letter:
ucwords( $wp_query->query_vars['category_name'] ), 'buddypress' )
ucwords( $wp_query->query_vars['tag'], 'buddypress' )
Would be nice to use a nice name instead (I’ll have to look in the DB or print out the variables to see if there’s some other variable I could use)… or use some PHP string command (if possible) to strip the dashes and capitalize all words.
Note: As of BuddyPress 1.2, this is less of an issue, as the default theme (similarly to most WordPress themes) only comes with a single sidebar
That looks like what everybody needed
Great, the zip is filled with loads of .tmp, .svn, _MacOSX files though (346 files in 187 folders!). Andy/whoever made it, maybe it should be repackaged?
Also, the instructions on https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/ are a bit confusing; if somebody got it working, maybe they can edit the documentation with some example codes?
Ok, is there a available plugins for this now?
