ive have had months of battling with this same issue. mostly due to plugins. mu or otherwise. special mention, bp-dev plugins. im not sure if this would be the same case as yours but for me what really helped was deleting all the other plugins and not just disabling them either. totally remove them from files and database.
I don’t *think* that bp has any issues running in a subdir of the doc root. That may have nothing to do with your problem. What error messages do you have in your error log?

Im working on three bbpress themes for original buddypress theme. Sorry my english suck!
Maybe you know how to fix my theme. The adminbar in my theme is showing but only a grey rectangle. So, these link just it\’s a example of my progress. But i\’m not programmer 
only entusiast!
@Renzokuomo
I’m not sure what you mean. I followed the link and it was a topic with only one entry and didn’t really have an answer.
I’m looking to add the bp-admin-bar the bbPress, so I need something that will cause bbpress to recognize buddypress so I can get the bar to show up. I have the php code; the problem is getting it to show.
I appreciate your help, though.
yes. that is where all plugins go. that is where the buddypress folder is when it causes the crash in my example. what i meant by subfolder install was referring to my wpmu. it is not running in root but in a subfolder. hence httpdocs/wpmu. that means my buddypress folder is httpdocs/wpmu/wp-content/plugins/buddypress.

yes John, for the Italian localization.
have the folder svn.buddypress.org/i18n/it_IT/1.0 … 1.1 and so on (for example)
and the same for other localization teams… I hope to be clear 
i know john, “to update the italian localization” i mean keep update the translation on BuddyPress Italy site AND on svn … when Andy start this “service” for all the localization teams
I’m closing this thread as it has nothing to do with BuddyPress support. If you’re interested in offering your services to Pcmike, you have his email address in the OP.
@Pcmike-
Please realize that you’re asking to convert your single-user WP blog into a WPMU + BuddyPress site. Make sure that the person you use understands this important point.
Works here too. I had troubling setting it up originally, but that’s because I hadn’t read the readme.txt carefully to do what @Jfcarter above has just said.
@Sinan,
I’m using it with WPMU 2.7.1/BuddyPress 1.0. Here’s where I have the plugin files located:
wp-captcha.php and wp-captcha.tff – in wp-content
wpmu-signup-captcha.php – in wp-content/mu-plugins
Works beautifully for me.
Thank you Burt! It looks like I can add any widget-enabled theme and the home page will change to it, then I can add the widgets for BP (i.e., Blogs, Members, Groups etc.). I also want to change the BP theme for users so it closely matches the look and feel of the overall site. I’ll figure that out.
Thanks so much,
Thomas
Lo.
> Why is it when I add a page to my WordPress site, it doesn’t show up in my BuddyPress navigation?
Because that’s just the way the default home theme is written. The items listed on that menu aren’t ‘Pages’ in the WordPress sense, anyway, so it makes little sense for the default, out-the-box BuddyPress theme to do that.
The bit of code you’d need to change (or to add in your custom/duplicate theme) is in header.php. Where you see:
<ul id="nav">
Add this underneath:
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>' ); ?>
Documentation for that function is at https://codex.wordpress.org/wp_list_pages
go to wpmu forum, there’s a thread about this.
(This is not buddypress question)

Anyone got running this plugin on sign-up page with 2.7.1?
in comments it works, but i can’t see it on register page and i have no idea how to make it work there.
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for all your help so far. I was indeed talking about the BuddyPress widget. I’ll have a go at that and see what results I get 
thank you. All I really need to do is add some CSS classes and a container box but what I put in functions.php (obviously) gets ignored.
Cheers!
Hi,
I have had the same problem for the last few days, using wpmu2.7.1, bp1.0, bb1a6, bbpress integration plugin and buddypress-enable.
The steps that seem to have solved the problem:
1. Delete all cookies.
2. Go to bbpress, register a new user. Log into bbpress as keymaster and give define that new users as admin.
3. Create a new forum in bbpress (any new forum).
4. Log into wpmu, go to forums setup and use the new user you just created.
5. Delete all cookies.
5. Log in, try starting a new group in wpmu.
I’m trying to pinpoint which of these steps did the trick to reuse it beyond my test installation.
Let me know whether it works for you as well, and if you figure out what the reason is.
Good luck
Remember also, that the navigation in header.php has NOTHING to do with WordPress pages. They are hard coded to the BuddyPress predetermined hi-jacked URLs.
The bp home theme is entirely optional. You can use your preferred wp theme for all the usual things and integrate whatever selected features what you want into the theme. Or none at all. The member theme is still available through the top admin bar.
See this in the codex: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/using-the-buddypress-themes/
bp has to be installed in a folder called /wp-content/plugins/buddypress. Try uploading the plugin again. Activate sitewide.
This makes sense, because like you said above, the Member Themes aren’t real WordPress themes; BuddyPress just muscles itself in and takes over the place. And as long as the member theme functions.php registers a sidebar with the same name, WP doesn’t know the difference and loads it up.
It’s posts like this, Burt, that lead me to believe that there’s a whole lot of progress that will be made in modifying the Member Theme area.
Good post, A+ for the day. 
Since this is a BuddyPress forum, I’ll assume you’re talking about the Buddypress widget “Recent Blog Posts” and not the WordPress widget “Recent Posts”
You need to look in bp-blogs-widgets.php for the code. But, do not change the code within that file. It is a core BuddyPress file and any changes you make will be lost the next time you upgrade. Instead, make a copy of that file and create your own custom widget.
Derosion-
Although the WordPress widget API clearly advises developers not to use the widget functions starting with wp_, there is an issue with localization of Widgets in BuddyPress if the register_sidebar_widget() is used.
If you’re not planning on distributing your custom components or widgets, then you can code them with the register_sidebar_widget() function call instead of wp_register_sidebar_widget(). However, if you plan to make your custom component or widget available to the community, you should use wp_register_sidebar_widget() at this time.
See Changeset 1244 for more information.
