Jeff, did the code for the icon, heart_bullet.png, get stripped out? I can’t seem to find it.
The Google Maps Quicktags plugin
http://www.remotesensingtools.com/2007/08/22/wordpress-plugin-google-maps-quicktag/
takes care of this problem (which would also affect embedded Google Maps).
Before I installed a custom theme I tried the default theme and had the same problems. I did solve the group wire problem following Andy\’s advice in another thread. https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2339
If I can solve this widget problem I am good to go.
I think I’ve narrowed down the problem. The installation isn’t recognizing the fact that bp-themes is in the wp-content directory.
Even though the two options for Member and Skeleton themes are available through the buddypress settings panel, whenever I try to load the BP theme itself after activating it the large screenshot that comes up just says “You do not have any BuddyPress themes installed.
Please move “/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/” to “/wp-content/bp-themes” and refresh this page. “
However I’ve verified, and re-verified, and re-verified again that bp-themes is, in fact, in the wp-content folder along with themes plugins mu-plugins etc.
Anyone know what could be causing this?
I just removed BP from the WMU completely, then reinstalled it following the directions at https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypress/ to the T and the same problem is still happening.
i gave up and did it my own way 
i basically looked at the URL and checked to see if it matched, if so, then use the selected class, if not, then a dummy class. use if you like:
<?php
global $current_user;
$username = $current_user->user_login;
function curPageURL() {
$pageURL = 'http';
if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
$pageURL .= "
/";
if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]."".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
} else {
$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
}
return $pageURL;
}
$currentURL = curPageURL();
if ( $currentURL == "http://domain.net/members/$username/mystuff/stuff-home" ) {
$dynamicClass = 'selected';
} else {
$dynamicClass = 'NOTselected';
}
?>
<li class="<?php echo $dynamicClass; ?>"><a href="<?php echo 'http://domain.net/members/'.$username.'/mystuff/stuff-home' ?>" title="<?php _e( 'My Stuff', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'My Stuff', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
To answer both questions the setup/directory listing for buddypress is
nacdb.com/members/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/
nacdb.com/members/wp-content/themes/bphome/
nacdb.com/members/wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/
members/ contains all of WMU – its not in the root directory.
I swear you keep editing your initial post – Quit it. LMAO
I see what you’re saying. All of your links have an extra directory in them.
members/admin is what you want
member/members/admin is what you’re getting.
Is your buddypress stuff in
wp-content >> plugins >> buddypress
You installed BuddyPress in http://www.example.com/members ?
That was just an example of the structure that the links seem to follow – not the actual url.
The actual url is nacdb.com/members
No Luck.
I tried removing the duplicate files, then reactivating the theme.
When I went to reactivate the theme the screen that pops up that should you the screenshot of the theme and has the “Activate This Theme” at the top right had this message:
You do not have any BuddyPress themes installed.
Please move “/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/” to “/wp-content/bp-themes” and refresh this page.
However, I’m staring at my ftp screen and its already there!
You installed BuddyPress in http://www.example.com/members ?
Here is a great introduction by Trent Adams to the HyperDB plugin.
As far as this issue is concerned:
If there are other blogs/sites created within the WPMU installation (but not BuddyPress) and other BBPress installations as well, is it recommended that everything reside in the same database, or should things like the additional BBPress installations use a separate database?
…
I don’t want to completely kill whatever server this could potentially end up running on, but quick response times and user integration between all platforms is key. The higher-ups estimate that there would be about 1,000 or so users for the duration of the event,
In this scenario, splitting WPMU data between multiple databases on the same database server will not give you much of an advantage. In fact, it could even slow read/write down slightly. But, if this is a temporary site, which it sounds like it might be, then splitting the load between multiple DB servers is probably not realistic.
The biggest issue will be how many web server and DB server cycles are dedicated to your domain and how many to other people’s domains. If you have a small hosting account, then you’ll absolutely need to upgrade to a decent VPS.
Dang! jjj beat me by 45 seconds!
Tony-
I had this issue as well about a month ago. The solution is simple. You need to create a new account.
Why? Because, like me, you created an account with a space in your account name (username). Also like me, you choose to use your real name. Logically enough, you put a space between your first and last name. You can see that by hovering your cursor over your name. Do you see the “%20”? That is the space.
This is not a BuddyPress issue. This is an issue with the way that WPMU processes new registrations, allowing spaces in usernames. Unfortunately, this can cause issues.
Andy knows more about this issue than I do, but suffice it to say, when creating your new username, do not put a space in it.
Problem is because your username has a space in it and is using capital letters. Where did you originally register your account and how?
If you click on Create a Group, you will see that it’s currently disabled, however groups are essentially harmless and are meant to be ways for users to get together on their own and discuss whatever they want to discuss.
How about extending the fb-connect using Facebook open stream?

Thanks Andy. Works great!
\”it would be similar to the service offerd by wordpress.com\”
But WordPressMU does this by default when a user gets their own blog.
Getting each one to have their own *separate* BP is the issue.
Why not just stick with the one install, have each troop make their own ground and their own blog? This way they have theor own sace, but can still interact with the entire site at large.
Also, remember that like WPMU, BuddyPress functionality can be extended with plugins. There are a number of developers working tirelessly at doing just that.
With regards to the Groups feature, Nicola Greco has created a plugin that helps to extend BP Groups.
haha…stupid me…works now…thanks!
I should change this, right now this is not in the groups functionality, but it will be in upcoming versions.
Connect URL should be the URL of the website, so for http://testbp.org it is simply that.
