Yes burt, I’m logged in as a site-admin. Using the same username and password that I used for site admin. Don’t know what’s going wrong with me today.
Are you logging in as site admin?
“I can’t see plugins option in the admin panel even if I’m logged in as an admin.”
There’s a diff between a blog admin and the site admin.
This is really strange 
. I overwrote all the wordpress installation files but still don’t see the ‘plugins’ option in the admin panel.
Also, even though the default theme is there, I can only see the default buddypress theme in ‘active’ theme. Other installed themes are not available.
“Buddypres” option is also missing from the left sidebar of admin panel.
Hello Burt, very good to see your response.
Did you rename the buddypress directory? You can’t
=> no, I didn’t.
Is bp active sitewide in the plugins page?
=> I can’t see plugins option in the admin panel even if I’m logged in as an admin.
No, I didn’t do anything. I got a call from one of the members that the site’s showing some error message.
Adding to the observations above, I can’t see the various themes installed as well.
Right now, I’m overwriting my wpmu files with 2.7.1 and see if I see the ‘Plugins’ menu in the admin panel.
I’m keeping the config.php file intact.
Did you rename the buddypress directory? You can’t.
Is bp active sitewide in the plugins page?
That’s pretty scary. Good luck.
Buddypress directories are all there. i checked. I’ve reinstalled WPMU and now backing up buddypress folders before installing the latest version of buddypress.. No I didn’t perform any upgrades/tweaks recently. They were done in past and the site ran fine for weeks before this nasty error appeared.
Sounds like your buddypress directories aren’t there. Can you ftp into the site and see buddypress in your plugins directory under “wp-content”?
Have you done any recent administration on the site? Major changes, minor tweaks?
Update: There’s no buddypress option menu in the admin panel. I’m logged in as admin!
Translation issues so far found have been addressed in bpc trunk:

@wtfman
You are linking to a thread that is three months old. Much has changed since then. For instance, BuddyPress now runs in /plugins/– not /mu-plugins.
Also, as r-a-y has pointed out, once you activate BP site wide, there is a new menu grouping in WPMU admin called “BuddyPress”. It is located at the very bottom of then menu grouping column.
@catincoach
The ability to promote a group member to admin is in the works for version 1.1!
See the BP roadmap: https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/
BuddyPress is site-wide.
The BuddyPress menu does not reside under the “Site Admin” menu, it is a top-level menu.
Don’t let the placement of the menus fool you.

So I install these pages into my new theme?
In my WPMU, there is no site admin for BP. It isn’t there. The buddypress setting for each blog is there, but no site admin options.
Hey wftman,
It really depends on the developer of the BP plugin in question.
The readme.txt that comes with the plugin is usually the best indicator of where to place the plugin.
There is a BuddyPress menu in the WPMU admin area, but it would be good to know what you mean by “and it sucks that I have to make changes every time there is a blog”.
Re: Pressbox theme… check out the default “bphome” theme, especially the functions.php file. You’ll probably want to copy over some of the functions into the Pressbox theme functions.php file.
Hope that helps in some way!
the image files are in /bp-core/images in your buddypress plugin directory.I will recommend you to edit these files rather messing with css. If you wanna edit css its also in bp-core directory.
Sorry about that – You didn’t mention what version of bbPress you were using and I assumed that since you were in an old post, you were using the old version. I’m working on a tutorial (or will be the second I get this sucker to work) My suggestion at this moment would be to follow my tutorial for installing the alpha 6 version. And then upgrade it using r-a-y’s instructions at this post. I know it’s not the greatest answer but for now, it’s all I can personally offer. Hopefully someone will have a tutorial up shortly. LOL
i am trying to add video in my blog in wordpress mu+buddypress website.Everything else is fine but i am unable to see video..
here is the link http://buzzlyf.com/buzztv/2009/07/05/kailasa/
Yes, great guy. I wish he wins lottery:)
Burt, good stuff!
boonika, I’m glad Burt was able to get your site working again.
Hi mohitkro5,
It sounds like you’re trying to use WordPress shortcodes in Buddypress fields.
Where are you trying to embed your videos?
BuddyPress doesn’t allow WordPress shortcodes to work in profile fields, wire posts and group forum posts.
bbPress has a few plugins to parse videos.
Hi, thanks. Tried this, Still same problem. I activated plugin (tried both locations).
The thread https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3444 imply that no buddypress support plugin is required.
All this a bit confusing. Isn’t there a full install/integration tutorial available for ver 1?
