It’s a bug in the css. Andy just committed a huge amount of bug fixes. Lemme go check them out to see if this is one of them.

EDIT: Nope, but another forums user has a fix for this. See the ticket for details: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/535

I don’t know how Andy would fix it but this works ok for me.

Thanks for the tip. I’m sure others will find it useful.

Oh no, I’m following you out the door and to the grocery store.

They are the same theme, hosted in the same directory. It is only the home.php file that is in the way.

Follow the exact steps above, and delete the home.php file from your new theme. I called mine buddypress-sub, for example. I renamed the theme in style.css, did exactly as I mentioned above, and tada.

Same rules apply as above except keep the BuddyPress Home theme active and deactivate all others.

Keep in mind that widget layout will never follow, meaning that each new blog will need to configure its own widgets.

I recommend copying all of the contents of BuddyPress Home to a new directory, modifying the style.css to a new name, comparing your existing WP header.php/footer.php files to the ones in your new directory, taking out all the WordPress specific PHP function references and replacing them WordPress MU/BuddyPress ones. Tedious, but effective.

I found that the main hurdle when doing this kind of migration (for me) was letting go of my old WordPress ways of doing things. I.E. no longer using the page widget as my main navigation menu, etc… Which you can still do if you want to, there’s nothing stopping you. The functions are still the same, but you’ll still want to use the BuddyPress home theme as your starting point, as it gives you the building blocks towards integrating your existing theme with the new platform.

@johnjamesjacoby The News theme I am referring to is not a separate theme. It is the News/Blog theme that is embedded within BuddyPress that is the default theme for the admin on the News/Blog page.

To be clear: How can I make this theme: http://testbp.org/blog an available theme choice for member blogs?

Haven’t forgotten, just couldn’t find the topic.

This topic is ultimately what helped me. I used his little $burt variable trick to help see if the two platforms were communicating in the back end, and it turned out they weren’t. This sounds like where you’re getting stuck as well.

1. Activate BuddyPress Home theme for main blog.

2. Site Admin -> Themes – Deactivate all themes including BuddyPress Home theme.

3. Site Admin -> Themes – Make sure News theme is enabled.

4. Find and activate the “New Blog Defaults” plug in. (Help ensure new blogs get the default theme you want.)

5. Configure “New Blog Defaults” and set default theme to your News one.

6. Create a new blog yourself, and you’ll be forced to use the only active theme, and cannot change to any other.

Done.

Mark this topic as closed please!

Der… This might not pertain to you anyhow, as I forgot that it also involves the forum last poster bbPress plugin.

Diving deeper…

Looks like this is only happening on the Groups forums Burt. The hidden forum appears to get the correct last poster info no problem.

Still diving…

Yep, Nevermind! Not your problem!

I just registered and uploaded an avatar just fine.

I do get this error when trying to view my own profile though…

Hey Burt… Something strange is happening… Could be I broke something, but I noticed it after I upgraded to .41 of your community blogs plug-in. It probably existed before hand, but I just noticed it now so it’s something to stay cognoscente of.

When looking at the front page of my forums, there are two (three for me) forum sections, public, group, and hidden. The most recent posts in my groups forums area link to the most recent posts in the public forums in the same position. Basically in the same order, but in the wrong forum. I think you’ll have to look at it to see what I mean.

Looks like maybe the $topics needs a separate loop or needs to be cleared? I haven’t dived into it yet, but I plan to shortly.

Martin, how’s the Swedish Translation coming along for you? I’m personally at 29% (Just started today)..

Just to add to the historical record: I installed BuddyPress on a working WPMU install and got a blank screen of death. It turned out that the problem had to do with the 16M limit in the php.ini file. Upping that limit solved the problem.

You can always request it to Incsub as well (WPMU Experts) that are also designing plugins now for Buddypress if people request them!
