Candace81,
I’m going to guess that WordPress MU 2.7.1 doesn’t play nicely with BuddyPress RC1.
However, I’m going to try them out and see if I run into these same issues.
If you can give me a half-hour to install and configure and get back here, that would be awesome.
Worst case scenario, I’ll point you in the direction of how to download the trunk. BuddyPress RC2 will most likely be out by the end of the week (still have some minor things to test and clean-up before release.)
That would be wpmu from here: https://mu.wordpress.org/download/
And bp from here: https://buddypress.org/download/
Those two would be the latest official releases. Where did you put bp? That version of bp should go in /mu-plugins. You should have a bunch of files like bp-core.php, bp-<whatever>.php in that dir and also a bunch of subdirs like /mu-plugins/bp-activity, /mu-plugins/bp-<whatever>
That what you have running?

I\’ve installed BuddyPress RC-1 and WPMU v2.7.1
Thanks so much for your offer to help! If I can get this to work, I\’ll definitely be recommending it to everyone I know. I\’ve been looking for something less complicated than Joomla/CommunityBuilder for 2 YEARS and had no idea WP was expandable…so this is great!
I was getting nothing because the class methods are not designed to be called from a template loop. Not using a user id defaults to the current user id viewing the member theme page and that’s not valid for anything inside a template loop.
Anyway I posted a ticket with a fn to get at the current loop user id. https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/684
Here’s is mine http://blogcastor.com with a custom theme
in the buddypress_home theme css folder
try adding a direct link to style sheet in header
<link rel=\”stylesheet\” href=\”http://illdesigned.com/user/wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/css/base.css\” type=\”text/css\” media=\”screen\” />
If you mean on a user’s profile page, i.e. http://example.com/members/13hulyo/, you can’t. This will be an enhancement that might come in future versions of BuddyPress. You can edit the source files and change the order I believe but a) I don’t know how to do that b) you will have to make the change every time you upgrade and c) so I don’t recommend.
Auwagner-
I\’m running the latest WPMU (2.7)
Then you’re not running either WPMU 2.7.1-beta1 or -beta2?
If that is the case, then this is the issue. WPMU 2.7.1 has been required since BuddyPress r1303.
Fortunately, you’re in luck! WPMU 2.7.1 was just officially released this afternoon. Read this ( http://ocaoimh.ie/2009/04/21/wordpress-mu-271/ ) and get it here: https://mu.wordpress.org/download/
That link disappears when you don’t have the blogs component activated. Deactivate in the wp back end BuddyPress > Component Setup
Jeff, thanks for responding…
1) Fairly vanilla means i have only buddypress, plus 2 other plugins. I’m running the latest WPMU (2.7)
2) Trunk is 1324
3) bp-events and eg-twitter
4) This was a fresh install of the trunk, so no upgrade. It’s an environment that I created to test things. I have moved over activate, register, plugin-sidebar and plugin-template to my new theme’s home directory, plus the 3 functions in functions.php. Is there anything else I should do for a customized HOME theme?
5) I’ve read them a ridiculous amount of times 
changes to htaccess, bp-core-avatars haven’t worked unfortunately
Permissions are 755 on the blogs.dir folders. I’m just combing through to see if I missed anything. I have deactivated all the plugins and i’m still looking around.
See the other thread on this, but your host is injecting ad code into the loader.php that pulls the stylesheet.

is it possible to make certain components of profiles to be viewed for members only?
Not yet. I’m working on a privacy plugin that will allow control at the profile group level. Andy is working on an overall privacy component for BuddyPress. No timeline for either.
Until then, try this: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=39
as near as I can tell,
/wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/css/loader.php
is not pulling the stylesheet properly. I would guess that the problem is coming from your host, as they are trying to inject an iframe into that page upon execution.

With IE6, I see buddypress the way I want to see it. Width 800px
With Firefox and Chrome I get a wider screen.
How to make the width 800px regardless of the browser used.
What version bp? I think I\’ll just put that on a hotkey combo.
Uninstall the blog component if you are talking about the various vertical menu options in the member theme.
Remove the line in the member theme /buddypress-member/header.php that looks like this:
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG ) ) [snip]
That\’s line 41 r1360 if you are talking about the header nav items.

Thanks …
I found out. change in \plugins\buddypress\bp-activity\bp-activity-templatetags.php line 20-21 to
function bp_activity_template( $type, $user_id, $per_page, $max, $timeframe ) {
global $bp, $SHOWFRIENDS, $user_ID;
if ($SHOWFRIENDS == ‘1’) {$user_id=$user_ID;$type=’friends’;}
try to set permession in reading and writing on /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-invitefriends/lib/msnAPI/ folder.
but i think thath you receive this error for MSN API.
Whatever is going on it’s not the capabilities.php file that is the issue. What version bp and wpmu are you attempting to install. Install wpmu first and get that to run. If wpmu isn’t operating correctly then bp will not.
1) What version wpmu. Specifically wpmu 2.7 or wpmu 2.7.1 beta?
2) How are you configuring wpmu? subdirectory, or subdomain?
3) Are you installing wpmu in a subdirectory of the document root or in the document root?
4) When does this error occur?
5) Can you create blogs in wpmu and reach them?
6) Does creating new blog posts in each blog work and can you pull them up and view them?
7) Is this shared hosting or on a DV?
Have things been working all along just fine and now this error for no apparent reason?
9) Disable all plugins and try doing whatever it was that lead to this error. Does the same thing happen.
10) Disable buddypress and try doing whatever it was that lead to this error. Does the same thing happen.
We could use some more details.
/buddypress-member/profile/profile-loop.php shows usage of the xprofile template tags.
If you upgrade your theme to the version that is in RC2 you can take advantage of the new member template functions that are available to you. The directories now have their own little templates located in /buddypress-member/directories/<directorytype>/<directorytype>-loop.php file.
Then all the template tags you find in /bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php are available to you. That particular function you were using doesn’t exist anymore. The underlying call still works which is:
BP_XProfile_ProfileData::get_value_byfieldname( $field, $user_id );
so
BP_XProfile_ProfileData::get_value_byfieldname( ‘One Line Summary’, $user->user_id );
Should work. I encourage you to look at the new directory code and templates.
Are you using the wpmu 2.7.1 beta and bp trunk? The error leads me to believe one or the other isn’t so. See in here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2190 there’s a post about getting the most recent bp and wpmu.
You might want to talk to the theme author. Perhaps they have seen this error in relation to the theme before.
Okay, first a couple of questions:
I have a fairly vanilla instance of the latest wpmu release…
- What does this mean? The latest release of WPMU is 2.7. Is that what you’re running?
- Also, which BuddyPress trunk revision are you running?
- Are you running any other plugins besides BuddyPress?
- Did you follow all the instructions in the first post of this thread that pertain to custom themes?
- Did you read post eight in this thread?
Regarding the code line that seems to be throwing the problem, that would indicate that you do not have the proper permissions set on the blogs.dir directory. See question 5 above.
