I would reinstall both theme directories. It looks like there is something missing.
So, copy over a new copy of bphome into /wp-content/themes/
Then copy over a new copy of bpmember into /wp-content/bp-themes/
He PMed back this to which I said let’s continue this is the forum:

facebuddy
shouty
solitude-theme
bpskeletonmember

Hi,
yes everything is public in the current version of BuddyPress. In order to view these new fields all that you have to do is to fill them.
I not sure if I misunderstand what your problem is, so I apologize if this is something you already know.
So, after you finished adding new fields in admin section, go to your Buddypress profile page, hit Edit profile. On the first page you will see fields from the Base group. If you are using Buddypress default theme, look at the gray bar just under SocialNetwork title. On this bar you will see something like:
[ME] [MY PROFILE] [Base] [and here should be your new groups]
Just click on your group, enter some text in those fields and they will be shown on your profile page.
bigfunblogs-
Please provide more information by answering these questions.
Hempsworth-
Well, that is good news!
Sometimes FTPing WPMU can cause permission issues. That is why some recommend that you upload the WPMU zip package and unzip it on your server.
The issue is that files are owned by the FTP user which is not an issue for most people as that user is the same as your domain server user–your hosting account admin user. If you authenticate when using FTP and it is the same username and password that you use when authenticating your hosting account, then it should not be an issue. If you’ve set up a separate FTP user, then that could be the issue. With WPMU unzipped, each file that gets FTPed will have the wrong user/group name.
Anyway, If you feel that your issue is resolved, then please set the light to green on top.
Okay so here is a perfect example…
Notice how there blog looks there.
http://wannanetwork.com/news/
Thats the main website blog. Now how do you get other blogs on the website to look like that, you know with the side bar and all look of buddypress
I’m afraid I don’t totally understand the question, and I don’t want to throw guesses at you.
Can you clarify?
How do I add a new blog with a buddypress theme. Like the main blog that is already pre-made after installation.
Yes Jeff, the home themes were showing up in the BuddyPress > General Settings dropdown.
However, I’m not sure how good I’m going to be in the ensuing conversation as I’ve just done a fresh install of WPMU 2.7.1 and BP 1.0.1 and everything is working fine. Nothing on the server side has changed, and all permissions are the same as before. I’m putting this down to a mishap in the FTP upload last night.
@honewatson Have you tried doing the same? Installing WPMU 2.7.1 and BP 1.0.1 from fresh? It may sort your problem as well.
@Hempsworth
Did you see my question here In this post?
Are you saying that instead of those two themes showing up in the "BuddyPress > General Settings" menu area that you have the home themes you've listed above?
Since there is now an assumption that you are having the same issue as honewatson has described, we need an answer. Until then, we should not assume that the two issues are related.
@honewatson
As Burt has requested, we would like to see if there are any commonalities between your issue and Hempsworth’s issue. Web server (Apache, Lighty, Nginx), version of PHP, and WPMU install method (subdirectory or subdomain) would help us narrow this down a bit.
@Windhamdavid
Actually Hempsworth must have mod_rewrite installed and loaded as his Lighty config file is properly rewriting his WPMU URLs. WPMU is functioning for him and since doing a clean reinstall of BuddyPress, he was able to activate it.
But now he has a different issue–a strange missing-theme files issue.
We’ve been having a problem. We helped several new users sign up for an account within our buddypress and have been having the usernames and profiles swap people.
For instance, person A signs up. They receive their activation link.
Person B signs up, they receive their link, and activate their account before person A does.
Person B then logs in with their information, but now person A’s profile information comes up instead of person B’s. Even in the address bar at the top of the screen it says something different then their username.
It looks like each user is getting the last person who signed up as their profile.
Any ideas what could be causing this – or almost more importantly how to fix this? I had a topic about manually changing profiles but I didn’t have any luck after digging around in the myPhPadmin I couldn’t find out how to change anything.
Thanks guys.
@jacoby – I experienced similar cookie issues with brain broken and the trunk – got it working by deleting cookiepath and hash and deleting existing cookies- https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-integration-problem-wp28-bb-10-rc-2 but since this is about lighttpd I’m sure that hempworth’s problem is the lack of mod_rewrite and this may help – https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/1961
Usually the current stable is probably best? I tried for a few hours to integrate bbPress 1.0 trunk last night and something appeared broken in it (could be my brain that’s broken too.)
The issues you describe are pretty strange, and new ones compared to most. When re-installing, do me a favor and delete your cookies for your site also; lets make this as clean of an installation as possible.
FYI my PHP version is 5.2.6-1, it’s a fresh VPS so I’m installing the latest stable of everything.
I might try backing my current config up and starting from scratch again… It might work, but if theres a solution I’d rather not do all of that again!
Should I go from the current stable versions for each of the installs? WPMU 2.7.1, BP 1.0.1 and bbPress 1.0 RC2? I’ve always used trunk for each but I’ll do stable this time?
I was able to navigate to /register and the rest of the BuddyPress links just fine. Looks like you got this figured out?
mikem1986, you will want to modify the header.php in your bbPress themes directory to get rid of the logo, and the header.php file in your wp-content/themes/bphome directory if you are using the included BuddyPress Home Theme.

I am updating my post because I didn’t get any answer in a week. I also posted a bug (#772) and it was closed as a duplicate of #754, which is totally different bug. This doesn’t make any sense.
If someone faced the BuddyPress behavior I am describing here, please me and others know this. Maybe we can fix this together. This bug can result other errors too, not just in Recent Blog Posts widget wrong behavior.
Thank you.
Does antone have any recomendations for BuddyPress compatible javascipt slider / gallery effects?
Im also not seeing the
Enable XML-RPC and Allow Pingback options and i dont have a buddypress plugin either like in the installation notes, i downloaded the latest version from bbpress, have i clicked the wrong link?
BuddyPress currently doesn’t support any kind of privacy control over profile data. Members of BuddyPress team are working on Privacy Component which will be part of some of the future releases, but until then this plugin can be helpful.
Xprofile Privacy plugin will give your users option to choose which profile data they want to share. Profile data can be public, viewable only to friends or be completely private. Users can set their privacy while editing profile or within Settings section in Profile Privacy part.
For more details, please visit:

I created plugin that gives users option to choose which profile data they want to share. It is not exactly what you are looking for, but maybe it can help someone.

@honewatson, I’m glad that you have things up and running to that point. I was trying to determine if you and hempsworth have any configuration or host properties in common. What I was looking for is:
Web server
PHP version
Subdirectory or subdomain for wpmu
Any updates on this plugin? I got the feeling that it was undergoing final testing? Thanks!
