BuddyPress will work for 2.8.1 when 2.8.1 is released, which by that time it will be 2.8.2.

Hey John,
Thanks for the co-credit!
You might want to add deep integration instructions in the readme.txt.
Other than that, let’s see more BuddyPress sites out in the open!
r-a-y, I took the liberty of making this into a plugin for everyone. It’s a variant of what I’m using on the delsolownersclub.com site that I cleaned up for general usage.

First things first, do you have WPMU 2.71 running correctly before you try and install BuddyPress?
Secondly, try manually installing BuddyPress by downloading the .ZIP file from the WordPress plugins repository (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/).
Do not trust the automatic installer! Put the entire contents of the folder in /wp-content/plugins/ and then login to the WPMU admin area’s plugins page and activate.
Let us know what happens.
deleted and re-uploaded the buddypress plugin. I suspect there was a corrupt file or something before.
@GPo1: There’s already a plugin but it doesn’t seem to be ported to Buddypress yet…. not clear on how much work will take to do so….. I’ve heard it works as is, but there are some issues with the fields that you may want required being bypassed and other minor field issues as it is only meant to work with MU….
Working with John and Josh to put up a community based around church/worship multimedia and graphic design. The site is using the basic BP theme for now but we have added BBpress, the WP ecommerce plugin, and next we are working on finding an IM plugin that we can use: http://worshipinhd.com
You’re not giving us any specifics.
How are you installing BuddyPress into WPMU?
What is your process?
Murphy, check out deep integration. I know it’s possible to get your bbpress theme to match your buddypress theme but it’s something I haven’t attempted yet. But a search for something along the lines of “deep integration bbpress buddypress themes” might do the trick.
Hey guys,
apologies if these sound like newb questions
or far fetching ideas,
but I’m really looking to find some creative solutions
to integrating multiple buddypress portals
so we can develop a good strategy and
service options for some clients.
Please let me know of any solutions out there already,
what could be possible, or in progress.
or let me know if anyone would like to join a team
to work on these kinds of solutions.
Look forward to hearing from you.

I like waking up when things have magically happened. 
Wow me too. Great work Sam.
So, after looking at my database and another fully functional BuddyPress database tables, I found out that the tables weren’t installed when I activated the bp plugin. Not sure what caused this…
This theme on buddypress.org website and the forums is not going to be released publicly. There are several posts on the forum stating this, and this answer’s been given several times.
If this situation ever changes, I am sure that we will all find out at the same time – but don’t hold your breath.

Thanks for all the fast replys, I will try to install BP via the plugin installer and get back to you all…
Jeff, here are my answers anyway:
1. How (and from where) did you download WPMU? mu.wordpress.org/
2. How did you install it? via FTP
3. Was WPMU functioning properly before trying to install BuddyPress? yes, I installed first, tested and then installed plugins to the plugins directory.
4. Have you checked your server’s error logs for other errors? If there are errors, what are they? No I haven’t, let me check
5. Do you have any other WPMU plugins installed and activated? no I don’t
I would love the theme too. It would be really really cool if bbPress was a plugin. That way you could integrate it with any theme right? How hard would it be to do this?
If you have any other BuddyPress-dependent plugins installed and activated, you must deactivate those before upgrading and reactivating BuddyPress. Once BP is upgraded and reactivated, you can then go back and reactivate the other BP-dependent plugins.
Also, move the default themes outside of /BuddyPress/ before upgrading. Keeping the themes directory within BP should not cause issues in and of itself, but it is a good idea to move it out before reactivating BP.
I have the same type of problem. I downloaded the latest versions of both WPMU and BP and installed WPMU with no problem. I uploaded all of the BP files to the ‘plugins’ directory. When I try to activate it, I get this message:
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/mmallory/public_html/greenworldzone.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/mmallory/public_html/greenworldzone.com/wp-content/plugins/bp-loader.php on line 19
Any thoughts?
Michael
this is the very time ive installed it all. so I presume I’m running the latest buddypress??
When I go to the link you provided, a member theme does show up. It is just not properly formatted.
- Which version of BuddyPress are you running?
- Did you update the default themes when you upgraded BP the last time?
- Or, is this the first time you’ve intsalled BP?
Hum. Interesting. That error message is often associated with someone trying to run BuddyPress with the single-version WP. It would have made this issue a lot easier to resolve had that been the case!
Okay, here are some additional questions (besides the ones asked by DJPaul):
- How (and from where) did you download WPMU?
- How did you install it?
- Was WPMU functioning properly before trying to install BuddyPress?
- Have you checked your server’s error logs for other errors? If there are errors, what are they?
- Do you have any other WPMU plugins installed and activated?
bb-config was untouched by the update. I deleted the old bbpress and then uploaded the new one. xmprpc is still enabled in bbpress admin. Everything looks normal in buddypress forums setup. When I create a new group, both wire and forum are activated by default.
BUT: When I create a new group, everything works smoothly. A new forum is created and I can post topics.
I also just managed to sucessfully create a group forum for an old group. It seems that just the one group that I originally used for testing did not work and still does not.
For me that makes things “good enough”, because I can just delete this one old group. It was a test group anyway. I’m just wondering whether I should mark this thread as resolved, although the original problem is not resolved, just less troublesome.
I’ve written a complete integration for MediaWiki in BuddyPress (activity, groups, user page, buddybar included)
On september i’ll release it, i hope you can wait and try it
You are running the single-user version of WordPress–most likely WP 2.8. BuddyPress will not work with single-user WP.
You must run WordPress Multiuser (aka WPMU or WordPress Mu) which can be downloaded from this link: https://mu.wordpress.org/download/
