@freaking wildchild, so is it possible to use a form to do this, ie when people sign up it makes a new sub-directory with buddypress and wordpress installed, and it uses the username to make the sub link, are you able to point me in the direction to do a form like this, dont have a clue where to start, thanks
More specifically, I am not using any custom home theme, its the one I got from buddypress .org itself.
Thanks,
I registered through buddypress so was not sure if it was an issue with its integration with WPMU. I guess Ill just wait for a few days for the emails to be available.

I guess its the header.php file in the bpmember theme that has to be edited and not the header.php in the home theme? Or should the change be added to both header.php files?
They almost look the same so whats the difference between the two?
Also how would the code look, there’s a section where it says:
Bpmember theme’s header.php:
<div id="header">
<h1 id="logo"><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php bp_site_name() ?></a></h1>
<ul id="nav">
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( 'home' ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php bp_home_blog_url() ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Blog', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Blog', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
<?php if ( function_exists( 'groups_install' ) ) { ?>
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_GROUPS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ( function_exists( 'bp_blogs_install' ) ) { ?>
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_BLOGS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_BLOGS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Blogs', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Blogs', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>
<?php do_action( 'bp_nav_items' ); ?>
</ul>
</div>
Its probably here the extra code would have to be added? I cant seem to get it to work.
This question is about wpmu and not buddypress. anyway, those nonactivated users are deleted after 3 days (as far as I remember). There’re also plugins to enable the same email address registrations.
BuddyPress can just be installed one-click from plugins page. The only thing you need is installed wpmu on your server.
Either this happens or not, it’s actually MediaTemple’s job and not something dev teams at BuddyPress does.
I have the same problem. I am running 1.0 on a fresh install. The new user registration goes off successfully, but the activation email is never received. The buddypress install is at http://theindianstartup.com
Sgrunt, one thing to look at would be your padding attributes. IE hates those (almost as much as I hate IE) If you can find a way to avoid using padding, you’ll be better off in the end. 
BuddyPress requires a WordPress Mu install, so no matter what, it can’t be a 1 step process (thus ruling out the 1-click install). Even if they could do it, BuddyPress lacks the history of successful version releases, support networks, and popularity that WordPress, Drupal, and ZenCart offer.
thanx Danstinebaugh.
The BuddyDress themes are all free, but let me the time to upgrade them to the 1.0 bp version.
The problem with IE (i presume you are speaking about the resizing window) is common to every bp theme, even the default one. I think that the issue is hidden in one of the “minor” css, and it’s hard to find where is the bug. I’ve modified the main css’s, and i don’t think that they are the cause of the problem. Solving that will be great!
update: with wp-hooks-filters-flow.php I get the following errormessage:
82. comment_post
* Priority 10 :
1. bp_blogs_record_comment()
2. SearchUnleashedPlugin->comment_post()
Catchable fatal error: Object of class SearchUnleashed_Widget could not be converted to string in /webserver/wordpress/wp-admin/wp-hooks-filters-flow.php on line 62
Maybe anything related with the problem, breaking off the database upgrade process of buddypress?? I’m wildly guessing now since I’ve been debugging like crazy…
@Bercy Just install your WordPress MU in a different directory; create a new database, preferably with a new user for security and you\’ve got it working …
With a fresh user and database you won\’t be overwriting your existing bp\’s.
If you want to use the same userdatabase and share it serverwide, use the same database but change the prefix per buddypress installation.
Hope that has answered your question with virtual hosting & wordpress ..
I wish it was as easy to migrate existing data towards upgraded BP\’s 
When you say a new BuddyPress install, do you mean a complete fresh new install of BuddyPress, allowing a separate database and user tables for each sub domain? If so, that’s a little outside the scope of what this forum provides.
You might want to try talking to some server admins and see about maybe having a VPS setup, or some kind of reseller account?
@Patriotsandheroes: Welcome to the official BuddyPress 404 club
In order to enter, your page has to be broken
Well, I should say I was trying to apply this technique to the Wire to allow img tags. No dice though. Any help would be great
Unfiltered MU did not work for me. I will try what you originally suggested, Burt
Woot WOOT!
OR, in the words of Bubb Rubb and Lil’ Sis: “Whoo whoo!”.
Hey Steve,
You certainly can PM Andy if you’d like. Also log into #buddypress on IRC, freenode as he pops his head in there quite frequently.
We’ve already got a thread somewhere talking about this, so I’m going to close this to avoid splitting the discussion.
Same problem – spinning icon when I try to add a friend.
PHP Version=5.2.9. Just installed BuddyPress and MU for first time today (May 3, so I think I have BuddyPress 1.0). Hosting at HostNine.com with typical CPanel.
Website with issue: http://3wcloud.com/wordpressmu. I have turned on the ability to add new users if you want to see what is happening.
Thanks,
Neal Walters
FYI, it would be similar to the service offerd by wordpress.com, thanks again
Hey! Thanks for all the work your putting in with the user feedback from all of these threads! Great to see a developer that stays in touch! Now I’ll admit so far I haven’t tried this theme out yet, other then clicking a few links from your buddydress page and checking out the few links that are actually working, and I’ve noticed most of them are not rendering properly under IE. Not that I recommend IE to anyone, however it’s still used and I wasn’t sure if it was just people trying to play with the theme’s (I see ad’s added to most of them) so I’m not sure if it’s due to other’s bad code of if is truely not rendering properly.
Either way thanks again! This is good stuff your doing and I look forward to the first free theme on buddydress!!!

OMG OMG OMG OMG! I fixed it!! I went back and looked at my error logs and I was getting
SoftException in Application.cpp:544: Directory “/home/beerandb/public_html/wp-content” is writeable by group, referer: http://lasvegas.beerandblog.com/
I was also getting that for the bp-themes folder. So I changed them from 777 to 755. I also found that I had an old “members-themes” directory in wp-content, which I deleted. And viola! It’s all better 
I looked into this stuff further because of these two threads. Thanks everyone for your help with this! First time I used this forum for help and it totally paid off!!
Hey, I translated BuddyPress yesterday!
You can find my translation here: https://codex.buddypress.org/translations/greek-ellinika-el_gr/
I hope you like it, because I was exhausted after the hours I spent working on it.
P.S. Ki egw Ellhnas eimai.
Okay, never mind. I added the height attribute myself and it worked! I had just assumed it was already there.
