… I’m having trouble activating this plugins … submenus not displaying on the site.
Bp’m using wpmu 1.1.3 and 2.9.1.1, with themes of buddymathic.

Seems Gigya does work with BP 1.2 on WordPress. Only thing it would require is to modify avatar section so it can display yahoo avatar if linked just as facebook connect does. And display log in button with default buddypress login box.
Logical question. I suppose that would suggest whether its a BP or WPMU level problem.
I’m running this “production” right now, using it with three classes of students. Do you have some confidence that I can safely disable buddy press in order to check? I’d like the trackbacks to work, but I don’t want to create a second headache if I can’t reenable buddypress.
@haloid if you want to jump the gun, wrap the elements that are calling “bp_get_total_friend_count” with the following:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'friends_install' ) ) : ?>
{{ li item here }}
<?php endif; ?>
As far as I know, the calls are made in the following places (inside the new default):
/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php
/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/index.php
I’m with your brother. Friending is wack for niche networks. Fingers crossed that this is abolished in place more advanced grouping https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/friends-and-groups-for-buddypress-13
UPDATE: I forgot about /group/create.php, which relies heavily on a users “friends” for the invite stage. Lame!!
@Brajesh – Thank you as always for clarifying the issue 
I’m a colossal idiot. LOL. I hadn’t reactivated BuddyPress after updating. Hahahaha. Sorry. Don’t mind me.
p.s. The themes don’t even show up in “Site Admin > Themes”. Only the three themes that come with WPMU show up.
Okay… when I try this new way of leaving the themes in the plugin folder… my child themes now give me an error saying “The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.” and “Template is missing”.
Do you have to reference “Template: bp-default” differently from a child theme? With a full path perhaps? How does WordPress “know” about those themes inside the BuddyPress folder? I’m at a loss I’m afraid. And I’ve followed the instructions on the “building-a-buddypress-child-theme page” to the letter.
Have you RU lang activated in BP (not WPMU) general settings ?
Notice: On the trac, the RU.mo trunk version is for 1.1.2

hi Mercime
Andy Made it clear in Dev Chat, It is better for plugin authors to stick with the bp-default layout and keep the template in their own plugin directory, yes, we may check whether the theme has the template files for our plugin, if yes, load those template or fallback to plugins default template.
So, I think, now if a user is using default theme, developers will not require to move the plugin templates to theme directory.
Did you install the template “bp-groupblog” into wp-content/themes ?
Chouf1 aka DaNiel invites you to test bp-groupblog here:
http://buddypress-fr.net/bpdemo/groups/groupe-de-tests/blog/
Thank you Andy. So per your other posts re 1.2 default theme and now the BP documentation, this import path for bp-default
@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/style.css );
is a confirmation that developers/super admins no longer need to upload the bp-default and bp-sn-parent themes in BP 1.2
To extrapolate: So in effect, plugin/component developers for BP 1.2 cannot ask users to upload plugin-specific themes into bp-default which is now in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/ because auto-upgrade would delete the buddypress folder. A better way to put it is that plugin/component developers for BP 1.2 should come up with a way to make their plugins work whilst keeping plugin-specific themes within the said plugin (without requiring users to move themes to bp default). Am I reading this right even in a convoluted way ?
Thanks again.

Installed Buddypress 1.2 Beta on WP 2.9.1 (not MU). The dashboard disappeared – only the column on the left remained. After deleting the plugin from the file-system, all was back to normal again.
This means that I couldn’t change the theme or do any other admin tasks …..any suggestions?
where can i find bp-classic?
it’s not here https://buddypress.org/extend/themes/
It’s beta now?! Whoa! And I see now this happened 2 days ago I’m outta the loop! That’s what I get for bookmarking the forums and bypassing the homepage all the time 
Thanks Andy, I installed BP beta last night and really needed this. Any tips on how to modify these instructions if I want to use a WP theme as my base and add BP functionality piece by piece? I know I will be in hell upgrading, but I’ve got too much invested in the WP theme.
this thread may help – if you’re posting to bb_topics outside of bp via this custom component, then you may need to make some other adjustments.
Also, as per Windhamdavid’s post, continue discussion in https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/how-to-access-to-bbpress-admin-from-buddypress
I’m closing this as we seem to have many threads concerning this exact subject in the last few days.
Thanks, I’m still not seeing a bbpress admin panel, and actually there are bb-config.php files in
The bb-config.php that lurks in /bp-forums/ is intentionally NOT the regular bbPress config file. Open it in a text editor and have a look.
Hi,
I have installed the latest version of buddypress version 1.2 beta and im using this on wordpress 2.9.1. I would like to know how i integrate bbpress v3.1 with wordpress/buddypress. I’ve read many articles on this but all see to take about WordPress MU which i’m not using.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thankyou.
Murphy
bbPress is only up to 1.0.2 so I have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s probably best to make a new thread.
Thanks Andy for the post. I hope I will help a lot of people looking for building child theme here.
Hi,
This is not a problem with buddypress or wpmu. it is a problem with your dns configuration.
You must add a wildcard entry to your DNS server like :
* IN CNAME mysportspress.com. (don’t forget the last dot)
