On the latest version of buddypress, you can view your version in the admin now on the “buddypress” options page

still getting a few bugs, bp is perfect for what i have in mind
edit: actually one major but im getting is trying to post a new topic to this site… I have a problem but everytime i try to post it in a subforum it says “topic not found”… i must have tried 6 times, i hope they arent going through bc its not on my profile page.
hi, i’ve downloaded and installed the latest combo (beta 2) but when i try to activate the home theme i view this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_search_form() in /home/…/public_html/wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/header.php on line 33
what’s wrong? thanks
@PerS Great tip. Thanks. Used it right away as I tested my first foray into BuddyPress.
Be careful on a shared host. WPMU shouldn’t really be run on anything less than a VPS. You might want to check your PHP logs.
I deleted the database table bp_core_widgets_welcome and then let BuddyPress/Wordpress rebuild it when I created a new welcome message. Works perfectly now.
Thanks, guys. Believe it or not there aren’t any errors in the log they provided. I’ve asked them to escalate a ticket to see if there are other logs, since I’m on a shared hosting plan.
Did that…even went so far as to delete all buddypress files and then copy them back in from my original download, since I hadn’t spent a lot of time modifying the site yet. Do you happen to know if the info stored in the Welcome widget is stored in a database table? Which one?
Just to add, they will be the ones that say FATAL ERROR as well 
Did you wipe your database? The first 20 lines of your logs should be enough. Make sure you wipe anything sensitive.
I had problems before. My earlier post was on one such problem https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1019, which I worked around by fixing the db.
My concern is that there could be many more such db issues (which I did not expect when I rolled out Buddypress), and these need to be fixed. I should not wait until the users come back and tell me they’ve got problems.
I’ve gotten the php log files (still waiting on apache), but don’t know what to look for specifically. Any help would be appreciated.
That’s for the blogs. I face with problems such as Buddypress says there are notifications or messages for a user, and when I click on links such as Notifications or My Account > Messages > Inbox there is nothing out there. Then I need to go to PHPMyAdmin, find out which entry is causing the problem and delete it. This does not happen with every users. Just some users, and fixing it on a case-to-case basis is tough. There should be some way to figure out and entry in this table means an entry in another table, which will then ensure consistency across tables.
If you visit the main WPMU blog dashboard as site-admin, it will run the upgrade check on your buddypress plugins. It should update them that way (at least it is supposed to).

Each function has to have a different name or else php will break plugin into errors. Every function on your install has to have a unique name, so I was just saying each little function has has the button created needs a unique names, yes. You can put as many as you want in there as long as they have different function names.
‘add_forum_link’
‘add_about_link’
‘add_download_link’
‘add_buddypresslove_link’
‘add_donate_link’
etc

@Trent, there is no error on the screen–it is totally blank.
This is the first anyone has asked for Apache logs (which I’ve requested from my webhost).
I only posted my question early this morning; when I said the response wasn’t satisfactory, I was referring to the other post which was never answered (and which may have helped me).
P.S. I had buddypress working at first, but deleted the blog by mistake. So I removed all the files from my server and reinstalled them and now they aren’t working (but WordPress MU is working fine). Does this help?
There are no feature enhancements other than you can now edit a group avatar.
There have been over 140 bugs fixed in this version, you can see all the bugs fixed by clicking the link below. Every bug with the date back to Dec 15th has been fixed since beta 1.
https://trac.buddypress.org/report/9?asc=0&sort=created&USER=anonymous
You should find the second beta has far less bugs.
@cikguazleen You can change it back to news with the following code:
function blog_to_news() {
return 'news';
}
add_filter( 'bp_home_blog_slug', 'blog_to_news' );
Add that to a new file and drop it into mu-plugins.
It might be due to the language pack that you have for bbPress itself. Maybe do a check over at https://bbpress.org/forums/ to see if you can find something out for the Thai language for bbPress as buddypress and WPMU won’t affect if bbPress (forum backend) has the language pack or not.

In fact, it would be nice to “widgetize” profile pages so you can move things around like facebook anyway. I created a ticket:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/421

The order of what is displayed is done through the following if I am not missing something.
/buddypress-theme/member-themes/buddypress-member/profile/index.php
Just move the following”
<?php if ( function_exists('bp_wire_get_post_list') ) : ?>
<?php bp_wire_get_post_list( bp_current_user_id(), bp_word_or_name( __( "My Wire", 'buddypress' ), __( "%s's Wire", 'buddypress' ), true, false ), bp_word_or_name( __( "No one has posted to your wire yet.", 'buddypress' ), __( "No one has posted to %s's wire yet.", 'buddypress' ), true, false), bp_profile_wire_can_post() ) ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Put it closer to the top, maybe under:
<?php else : ?>
<?php bp_core_get_wp_profile() ?>
<?php endif; ?>

I know people that have buddypress running on almost every host. It might be easier to come up with a list that is doesn’t work All kidding aside, I have seen buddypress working fine on Media Temple, Futurehosting.com, Slicehost, any dedicated server, all VPS servers, etc.

@jfcarter Andy has told you that you need to provide the error that you are getting. Check your apache error logs and tell us what the error you have. It could be many different things and is not a widespread issue, so we need to know the error. You haven’t had a satisfactory response yet because you haven’t given any information to provide such a response.
Trent
I’ve checked with my service provider to see what they can tell me. As I mentioned before, others are experiencing this and there hasn’t been a satisfactory response yet.
I have checked all my permissions, and my WPMU install is fine. It’s just the buddypress that isn’t working properly.
If you can’t check your logs or turn on error reporting then fixing this will be like finding a needle in a haystack.
