BuddyPress.org

Thanks – went into the site url/wp-admin and the page loaded.

Then “Site Admin > Themes” menu. Finally, activate the BuddyPress default theme in “Appearance > Themes”

Having a similar “blank site” issue as @danbucher. I can’t even login on my site…just the blank screen.

– Currently running wpmu to 2.8.4a

– Manualy installed buddypress 1.1

– Delete the /wp-content/bp-themes/ folder and moved the /bp-default/ and /bp-sn-parent/ folders

My error_log says: “[03-Oct-2009 22:54:13] PHP Warning: require(BP_PLUGIN_DIR/bp-core/bp-core-signup.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/fashion5/public_html/wp-content/themes/denis_template/functions.php on line 70″

Assume that I need to direct the admin page theme to the BuddyPress Default 1.1 theme. But not sure how to do this since I have a blank site.

Any ideas? Thanks!

See my response in this thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/single-blog-post-display-issue-new-11-install#post-25249

oracleappscommunity has just created a ticket. You can add more to the ticket if you feel that it will help isolate the bug.

The is a filter that needs to be added to wpmu to resolve this issue. There is already a ticket that discusses this:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1103

That buddypress ticket includes a link to this ticket in for wpmu:

https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/ticket/1120

And I gave the answer in that same thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-says-themes-are-missing-but-they-arent#post-25240

If you want to learn more about why the theme architecture was changed, you can read this forum sticky: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/details-about-the-new-theme-architecture

Or, read this blog post by Andy: https://buddypress.org/blog/news/the-new-buddypress-theme-architecture/

It will not get fixed if someone does not take the time to post a new ticket to Trac.

We cannot monitor the mention of all possible bugs in all forum threads. So, whenever you think you have discovered an issue, post in the proper forum first. After a little discussion, if it appears that it could very well be a bug, then create new ticket in Trac. Provide as much detail as you can so that the bug can be reproduced and isolated.

You log into Trac using the same login credentials as you do for the BuddyPress forums.

I’ve just faced this same question in this thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-says-themes-are-missing-but-they-arent

The answer seems to be yes, but it feels like quite a convoluted process. I understand the ethos from a design standpoint as to why they want a Buddypress theme used as the primary theme on ones WordPress site, but I really feel that this is an inflexible approach for those who have well-established WordPress sites already active.

@Westpointer:

your plug-in-website still says:

“What version of BuddyPress is needed?

This plugin was tested with version 1.0.3 of BuddyPress.”

Thanks for testing…

All fixed in the latest version

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/

== Changelog ==

= 2.0.4 =

– (03 Oct 2009) – Fixed session error on Buddypress versions.

There’s a Codex article:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/upgrading-a-buddypress-1-0-theme-for-buddypress-1-1/

Scroll down to the section entitled “I’ve used a WordPress theme for my blog with the default BuddyPress member theme”.

Is there a tutorial online that can assist me with this? Or alternatively, is there a workaround for the issues I was facing with the user registration glitch I was having using the 1.0.1 Default theme with Buddypress 1.1? Everything was running very smoothly with 1.0.1 with the exception of the user registration.

Hey, that’s a genuine bug! Good find. Please report it on https://trac.buddypress.org/, using the same username and password that you use for this site.

You can use any theme you want on your WPMU install. But you will need to do work to customise it to support BuddyPress.

Okay, this answered it all for me:

I think I’ve managed to sort out whats at play here, but its led to more shenanigans. I’ve posed my question here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-says-themes-are-missing-but-they-arent?replies=11#post-25232

Does this mean that the Default theme must now be used as the primary Theme on a site?

Previously, I was able to use a standard WordPress theme (vita) and link to my Community (Buddypress, using the 1.0.1 Default theme). From what I can see now though, if I want to use the Buddypress 1.1 Default theme, it needs to be activated as the primary theme. Is there any way around this? If not, this is a frustrating development indeed….

what about this patch ?

https://trac.buddypress.org/attachment/ticket/1141/wrong-theme-location-error.patch

Thanks for the Help DJPaul. But, this now leads to a new problem for me.

When selecting BuddyPress Default 1.1 as my theme in General Settings, I press to Save Settings, but each time it reverts to the BuddyPress Social Network Parent Theme 1.1.

What manner of witchcraft is at play here?
