Hey benny148148, followed you here from the “other” forum;)
Here’s the thread I was referencing earlier regarding this same issue on my install (all default)… https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1315
However, at the end of the day, there is no solution. One of the BP gurus here, Burt Adsit, was helping me troubleshoot and referenced a possible fix, but didn’t know if it was to be put in trac as a bug fix. I’ve messaged him through my BP install, but haven’t heard back.
I checked trac and didn’t see any reference to this issue. Hopefully other will chime in with a fix.
I have the same problem and i fallowed the exact instructions.When i select the theme from the admin it doesn’t show up.I see the default theme for bddypress.
@sha_munira explain better your problem..
what does not work? how did you installed it?
member theme doest work…please help
thanks, its because im not using wordpress MU…silly mistake..haha
I’m using the default BuddyPress theme…I’ve just restyled the header.
I would try activating default Buddypress theme and see if the issue still occurs so that you can be sure it is not an issue with your theme…
Thanks for replying.
Maybe I should try exporting from wp+mu and importing to wp without buddypress first and see where I am getting to.
The proof of this is in wp-admin/options-permalink.php, where “/blog” is permanently placed in front of the permalink url on lines 82, 92, and 102.
The function I was thinking of in functions.php was bp_show_home_blog(), but it doesn’t do exactly what I thought it did the way I thought it did it. 
I was actually thinking that. I might move everything back a month…that then makes it 2 months for design…
You should extend the deadline Daniel. With the downtime and people only really finding out about this in the last week, it’s not long enough to think about, design and build a decent theme. Just my 2 cents.
You should think of a home theme as just a standard WordPress blog theme. It is no different other than a few new files to handle directories.
A member theme is a “BuddyPress” theme, and should probably be called that.
You should treat them as two entirely different themes, your WordPress theme should have the styles and images for just the WordPress parts and your BuddyPress theme should have the styles and images for just the BuddyPress parts.
You could of course still provide the two themes in one download package, but they should still work independently. It’s not a good idea at all to make the themes dependent on one another. Someone may want to use your member theme but keep their own blog theme.
I’ll be writing more docs on this soon.
This is a theme problem. You seem to have solved that issue. You have another fatal error when viewing the blogs directory:
Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /home/ladsmy/public_html/community/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-core.php on line 930
If you temporarily switch to the standard bp home theme does this happen? If your problems go away by switching to the bp home theme then you need to contact your theme’s author.
a css and some images, i prefer not to touch code in order to not updating it on every buddypress release. But sorry..i have no idea how to make a plugin
i’ve made some changes to the loader.php to correctly add the stylesheet. We’re still in beta but i think that we’re going to see the light!
pietro28 is saying that his permalink structure changed. It can’t by simply installing bp.
I’m posting from my blackberry so someone can confirm, but I think Andy is saying that the functions.php in the BuddyPress Home theme is what hijacks the url and makes this happen? If I remember correctly? Sorry don’t have the source in front of me at the moment…
gogoplata, this is running a week old now. Is it resolved? I’m turning off the light until you switch it back on.
People let me say this clearly: BP DOES NOT CHANGE THE PERMALINK STRUCTURE OF ANY BLOG!
There is no instance of the global object $wp_rewrite in any bp code or any call to $wp_rewrite->set_permalink_structure()
Not in the member theme, not in the home theme and not in any bp plugin.
bp is not changing the permalink structure. The only thing bp does is hijack the word ‘blog’ and load the index.php template. That’s it.
@pietro28, what version of bp and wpmu are you using? Did you install wpmu in the directory mysite.com/blog ?
This thread has a solution. It turns off all the auto linking in the profile fields. Right now it’s either on or off.

Just a sneak peak

Anyone else?

No it isn’t going to as of yet.
There is no direct link between a normal forum and BuddyPress. Perhaps the bbGroups plugin could be modified to handle this type of thing, but that’s just handing Burt more implied work to do. 
Good job getting everything synchronized though!
Could this be added in the Buddypress Settings, in site admin – possibly under “Base profile group name” field?
It would be nice to enter a name for each, and all places ie. ‘Members’ is mentioned it would be updated to chosen name.
Members could be named anything – Patrons, Users, Constituents, Associates, Individuals, People etc.
Groups could be Teams, Bands, Parties, Crowds, Communities, Gangs, Scenes etc.
A new install and still playing with it http://www.chatzooky.com
