@Djpetemarriott-
As has been mentioned, there is more to installing WPMU than single-user WP.
Since this is not a BuddyPress support topic but an issue you need to bring up with your hosting provider, I’m setting this thread to resolved.
Hi Andy,
Thanks for updating the fb-plugin. Just installed it a couple of minutes ago and this message appeared in the fb popup window:
Invalid Argument
The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL (http://huwai.com.tw/wp-content/plugins/bp-fbconnect/includes/wp-facebookconnect/xd_receiver.php#fname=_opener&%7B%22t%22%3A3%2C%22h%22%3A%22fbCancelLogin%22%2C%22sid%22%3A%220.337%22%7D) must have the application\’s Connect URL (http://login.connect.facebook.com/) as a prefix. You can configure the Connect URL in the Application Settings Editor.
I entered http://login.connect.facebook.com/ into the Connect URL field in the fb interface but this message still appears.
Do I need to translate WPMU first ?
Look in the link that DJPaul provided. There is a WordPress translation of Arabic already. I’m not sure what additional work you’d have to do for WPMU. Most likely translation of some of the admin pages. But, I’m not a localization expert.
What will be different because Arabic is RTL language ?
As long as the themes that Arabic users are using properly reference some type of right to left CSS file, then this should not be an issue. Look at rtl.css to see how that works.
Also, look at this relevant BuddyPress thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=245
I came into this WordPress stuff late but I can honestly say I am utterly astounded by the flexibility and capabilities of the software….and BuddyPress….one of the best apps I have seen in long time.

Check out https://codex.buddypress.org/translations/ for starters – there’s a link taking you over to the main WordPress site with further details.
@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!”.
