Hi Jeff, I did not notice that this was marked as resolved. I still don’t know how to create a buddypress install with a cohesive theme for members. I’ve been checking every week or so to see if someone may have answered my questions about what it is I’d need to hard code. I’ll check to see which theme I modified and I’ll see if that makes a difference. I’m still looking to distill a procedure out of this that I can follow and share with others. Best, Dainis
Thank you very much for responding. I really appreciate it.
I am using Buddypress 1.01 width Wpmu 2.7.1 and managed to get the adminbar working great without even touching Buddypress core.
All i actually did was to make sure I had :
require_once('../wp-blog-header.php');
in my bb-config.php-file, and after that i just simply added r-a-y’s code to my bb-theme functions.php file. :
function recreate_bb_admin_bar() {
echo '<div id="wp-admin-bar"><ul class="main-nav">';
bp_adminbar_logo();
bp_adminbar_login_menu();
bp_adminbar_account_menu();
bp_adminbar_blogs_menu();
bp_adminbar_notifications_menu();
bp_adminbar_authors_menu();
bp_adminbar_random_menu();
echo '</div>';
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'recreate_bb_admin_bar', 8 );
add_action( 'admin_footer', 'recreate_bb_admin_bar' );
add_action( 'wp_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1 );
Works just perfect. I can’t really see any need for a plugin to do this, but I guess there’s always someone who don’t manage without them. 
This would be a great addition to my BuddyPress installation. It would really help me build membership up.
Cannot redeclare bp_activity_install just tried upgrading got same error. Removed plugin and ftpd 1.01 went to activate same error. I Cannot get buddypress to work now on one of my sites…
Beware befor upgrading…..
Doug-
I can’t speak to the reason why the CSS was implemented this way, but it may have something to do with the fact that bphome is a default theme which can be replaced with any WordPress theme with a few tweaks here and there. So it follows the standard WP theming protocol.
The bpmember theme, on the other hand, is unique to the BuddyPress world. As I’m sure you know, you cannot take a standard WP theme and tweak it into a custom BP member theme. Andy created the CSS coding protocols from scratch for BuddyPress member themes. Andy can speak to this more directly–and correct me if my assumptions are wrong!
I could see a lot of value in pulling all of the color values & branding (logo) out of base.css and into branding.css
I like this idea a lot!
Still seeing the warnings in my logs following the 1.0.2 update:
PHP Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /var/www/vhosts/blogs/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-signup.php on line 261

gwsa, you don’t have access to the wp themes? Site Admin > Themes > Activate some on that list. Then Appearance > Themes > All those you activated should be available for selection.
dawnsinger, the universal blog theme is the theme that lives in /wp-content/themes/default. All blog themes are wordpress themes.

Andy — I’m probably just missing it in the documentation somewhere, but my user-created blogs are showing up as default WordPress themes. How/where do I set a universal member BLOG theme?
Thanks,
J
Go to My Blogs (Admin Dashboard) >> BuddyPress (bottom left column) >> Profile Field Setup >> Add New Field (or Group)

This should really be in the readme, forums are a huge part of social networking, and I will be developing a tightly integrated BuddyPress and bbPress application over the next few months. I’m sure you will see a lot of questions from me, and I look forward to helping out along the way.
irc… another thing I’ve never gotten into…… sorry for being so slow in adapting.
It seems my plugin is now listed correctly on the WP plugins AND I can upload changes to the trunk with Tortoise! Yay for technology!
One last question regarding the plugin repository. I see some folks have an image (avatar) for their plug-in both in BuddyPress plugins list and WordPress’…. how do I go about adding one?
I was wondering when you were gonna get around to this. You should join us on the bp irc channel. Help others and get help. Bring your sense of humor.

Hi Milan,
Thanks for the code. Where would I paste this code to allow me to show the 5 topics on my default buddypress home theme (guessing I would have to create a widget?)
ok, i started from 0 again, its my 4th day trying to make it work, 8 hours day, I am FRUSTRATED, now:
bbpress alpha 6
BP 1.0.1
wordpress mu 2.7.1
I followed ALL the steps in this post (https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=471&page=5), I know them by heart already, users are shared in bbpress and wordpress, if i log on as admin in wordpress i am logged in also in bbpress, cookies seem to work but….
…still not able to create a group with forum, nothing is updated in bbpress after creating the group, i think its because of cookies but I did ALL as commented so I am REALLY lost 
((
so bbpress alpha 6 doesnt work for me, i tried rc1 and rc3 also
i hope, its the most difficult installation ever
after expending 4 days to integrate buddypress bbpress and wordpress mu with no luch it makes Drupal easy
Uhm… I just joined and left a group for testing and all that shows up on the activities is blank space. In the feed, there is just an empty item with only the date set. Additionally, this error showed up when I left the group:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_group_avatar_thumb() in /[path to WPMU]/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-templatetags.php on line 309
Ok, I really want to know it. It is already a test for me.
What, if this happens to me on a live site. I want to handle this error without loosing the running installation.
I deleted all buddypress files and renewed all with a fresh download of buddypress. The error is still there.
The same I did with mu. I deleted all mu files except the wp-content folder.
but the error still accursed.
So I think it must be the db.
I tried to change my password from the admin aria, there I can change my password without problem.
But from the profile site, I get a blank page.
Some idea ?
Hi Manoj,
How can you tell? I though the buddypress was installed correctly. It did take me 2 go and I was happy with it. I thought the next part was where the error was.
Thanks,
@ thestasi : It seems even your BuddyPress not setup properly. So please go one step at a time
Apologies if my reported problem is the same as this one: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3306 . They seem related.
Yes, it is on track for v1.1. See here: https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/
