but my old buddypress not support… can you create a little bit script, to change my old tables to utf-8?
How is everything looking now? I went through and changed everything to 755, as it was all set to 600. There’s still 1 dead link on an image but I think everything else is as it should be?
Can you post a ticket at: https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket
I’ve noticed this too – I made some core changes recently that have affected some areas of messaging.
Looks like you are close. You need to do the same on the images directories and the javascript dirs too.
Mine are set at 644 and are working ok. I’m runnin wpmu 2.6.2, as I saw no point in introducing another headache until 2.7 is out.
It’s the admin bar that’s trashed. It’s being served out of ../mu-plugins/bp-core/
What ya got for permissions under there. The images and css dirs?
It’s done. And everybody can download it now.
Huh. Ok, yes, that’s exactly where the css file is. However, style.css is set to 600. In fact, all files within /buddypress-home/ are chmod 600 while the two directories within /buddypress-home/ are 755. Again, the theme directory itself is 755. That’s not right, is it? What should all the files be?
Andy, those folders are 755. Always have been. I’ve tried re-uploading the theme, too, but to no avail.
The home.php requirement should be fixed in r521+
Looks like everything but the permissions is working. Basically you need to
chmod 755 wp-content/themes/buddypress-home
chmod 755 wp-content/themes/buddypress-member
Ok, I’m back to the BuddyPress Home theme 0.4 so you can look (spirituallymodified.com) and it’s just a garbled mess. The theme is there but, I don’t know, it’s not being rendered correctly. I’m no expert so I’m not sure what’s causing this problem.
Since you asked in another place, Burt, MU installed great and worked as it should. I made sure to check it out before installing BP. Sorry but no cup of coffee for either of you gents, yet. 
This can be done in r516+ under Site Admin > BuddyPress
Yes, any theme you use with BuddyPress will need a plugin-sidebar.php and plugin-template.php file. It’s used to add dynamic functionality and new pages to the theme without having to drop in new template files. The settings menu and pages are examples of this.
I take a look at why it is requiring a home.php, this shouldn’t be happening.
The post you were referring to is: http://chriscarter.testbp.org/2008/11/07/mu-works-but-bp-isnt/
Create an account on codex.buddypress.org then hit “EDIT PAGE” on the right. You will need to go to “Pages > Add New” on the left menu. Enter a page for your language and select “page parent” on the right menu as “Translations”.
I already done chinese translation. How to edit the https://codex.buddypress.org/translations/ page to add the link?
After listening to Andy’s advise I think I found the problem.
I got rid of all my files except for my tables, and reinstalled a fresh WPMU and buddypress. By accident I didn’t upload the htaccess file–the thing is I realized when the htaccess file is not uploaded the avatars work. However, all pictures on the website do not work.
If I delete line 6 below, then the avatars appear to work. However, if deleted then all pics on the site don’t work. I hope this provides some insight into the problem.

Your best option by far is to use SVN. If you’re not using SVN then running the trunk is going to be a nightmare.
If you can check out a copy using SVN then you can simply do a “svn up” on the BuddyPress files and they will update.
So where exactly are you now in the whole situation? Are groups working? If you upgraded from an earlier revision, make sure you log in as admin and visit wp-admin to upgrade the DB tables.
Users wont show in BuddyPress until they have at least *some* profile information (unless you dont have bp-xprofile installed). Usually this means a first and last name.
Only your own blogs show in my blogs, so if becky creates a blog, thats not going to show in your “my blogs” menu. Unless I am misunderstanding something.
On another note if I try to access mysite.org/members I get a little notification screen that tells me I need to put plugin-template.php and plugin-sidebar.php into my theme dir. I found these in the buddypress-home dir. Putting these in the appropriate theme folder gets rid of the error msg but doesn’t get me anything.
All I get is a wp page with the permalink mysite.org/membership
Once again, changing my permalink from mysite.org/membership to ‘registering-and-membership’ solves the prob. Now I get the member directory wonderfully sandwiched between my theme header and footer. However, it still says 404 in the FF tab and no actual members are listed. I get the abc’s, search box and a h2 Members title header. Nothing else. I’m gonna turn on the bp home theme and see what havoc I can cause with that.
Is this a blown regex in wpmu .htaccess rewrite rules or bp hijacking behavior? I haven’t modded the .htaccess rewrite rules at all. It’s exactly what wpmu installs.
Glad you showed up so early?
Please use the latest trunk version of BuddyPress.
First of all you’ll want to get set up with an installation of WPMU and make sure that is running correctly.
It’s probably a good idea to head over to the WPMU forums where there are a lot of expect WPMU users (https://mu.wordpress.org/forums). They will be able to help you get started with MU.
Once you have that up and running, come back here and we can guide you through installing BuddyPress on top.
I just downloaded a fresh copy of WPMU 2.6.3, the latest BuddyPress trunk and did a fresh subdirectory installation. It all worked fine, no missing function errors.
Are you absolutely sure you have all the latest files and everything installed correctly via the readme? This includes the latest themes – you MUST update the themes too.
