hello everyone! i read the forum about “The uploaded file could not be moved to the upload folder” bug. folder permissions etc. i couldnt find a solution about that.
i found what the problem is! the problem is a subfolder for user id cannot be created.
when someone tries to signup and upload avatar, they get the same error
“The uploaded file could not be moved to the upload folder.”
it’s because the system cannot create files/avatars/$user_id folder. i dont know how to solve that problem. when i create a subfolder manually for the new user, it works well. you can upload avatar. but i cannot create folder for thousands of users. so buddypress needs a solution for that.
my all folder permissions are set to 777.
wp version is 2.7.1 and i’m using the latest trunk for bp.
i’m trying to fix that and couldnt do it since 2 weeks.
thank you all.

buddypress is just awesome
Jeff:
Nope, no custom functions – It’s a brand new install. And you may classify a page being “blank” different then I would. It doesn’t show a blank white page, what you are describing is correct. However, for a bogus URL, shouldn’t it show something like this?

I’m closing this thread as it has to do with a request for services and not specific issues related to BuddyPress.
If you are interested in providing your services, the contact information is in the OP’s thread.
Please remember, if you need help implementing a WPMU+BuddyPress site or have development services to offer, you should post on the BuddyPress Job Board or directly PM a member.
Hey, I’ve just written to and received an email from one of the guys – Noel – who’ve done the P2 theme and he seems willing to look at some additions to better support plugins and widgets that rely on what are otherwise standard filter actions.
The above works as an interim but hopefully at next weekend I can go over it all and check things properly, then feed back to Noel.
I am having trouble getting assistance and wondered if any other experienced buddypress users might be able to assist.
I’ve seen some great implementations such as mypepo.com, petomundo.com and need some help getting the bp-dev plugins to work, namely youtube, as well as finding out what other buddypress users are using for things like media players for flv/mp3 or other useful plugins for a buddypress site. My wife has wanted to launch for almost 2 weeks but I haven’t been able to reach anyone from bp-dev to get an answer to the youtube question so I thought I’d reach out to these forums to see if anyone can assist.
1. I need to find out why the youtube plugin isn’t working. All the other bp-dev plugins work including flickr but the youtube doesn’t show any images or proper links on the member pages.
2. I need to find a media player that will work with wpmu/buddypress to handle local flv and mp3 files with a playlist feature. I notice that on petomundo.com, he has the ability to play video files on his site.
I’m willing to either pay a develpper via paypal or donate to their site if someone can help me with this asap. If interested, please contact me at cmonci at swbell dot net. This is running all current versions including 2.7.1 wpmu, bp 1.0, and bbpress.
Thank you.
Adding to what John is saying, you should visit the Custom BuddyPress Loops codex page as well.
Ok, so this is with the current download-able version of P2 (not a trunk version):
functions.php – in function prologue_new_post():
//Find these two lines at the bottom of the function:
echo $post_id? $post_id : '0';
exit;
//Above them, put this:
if ( $post_id ) do_action( 'edit_post', $post_id, get_post( $post_ID ) );
functions.php – in function prologue_new_post_noajax():
//Find these two lines at the bottom of the function:
wp_redirect( get_bloginfo( 'url' ) . '/' );
exit;
//Above them, put this:
if ( $post_id ) do_action( 'edit_post', $post_id, get_post( $post_ID ) );
hmm … that’s a lot more straight forward than what i found. cool 
It’s actually quite easy to do this. I recommend getting comfortable with the functions that BP introduces to the templates, which can usually be found in buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php. There are some others, but those will be your friends.
Some of them are wrappers for WPMU functions, and others are BP specific. Each plugin also has a *templatetags.php file that includes more functions to component specific output.
Spend some time looking through the bphome and bpmember themes to get an idea of how those functions are used, and you’ll be on your way to making a custom theme in no time.
Hey John:
My host is HostGator, and yes, I am using it in a subdirectory versus the main directory or a sub domain. No, I have never installed anything that would have changed the URL structure of the app, unless BuddyPress would have done this… And yes, I’m not getting a white screen of death, instead I’m getting a totally empty page. Have you been able to fix this?
Just noticed this too on one of my installs. Who is your web host? Are you by chance running BuddyPress in a subdirectory?
Looks like you’re not using any plugins at all? Were you at any point? Something that additionally re-writes URL’s like qTranslate or the like?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but you’re not getting a blank screen (white screen of death), you’re getting what looks like a totally empty blog page, with no widgets, no side bar, just a header and a footer.
Right?
Okay, to recap:
- You are running a new install of WPMU 2.7.1 with BuddyPress 1.0
- You’ve activated BuddyPress
- You have no other plugins installed and activated
- You are using the bphome and bpmember theme
- You do not have any errors AT ALL in your server’s log files
- You’ve installed WPMU as a subdirectory install
- But, you are not positive if WPMU was working before you installed and activated BP
Now, if I understand your issue correctly, when you visit your domain, you can see the home page without any issue. It works fine. But when you click on any link it brings up a blank page without a 404 message.
Or, is it that everything works fine. You can see the home theme and get to the member theme without any problem. You are only seeing this issue when you provide a bogus url. It is only then that you get the blank screen? So, you are wondering why it is not a 404 page.
Hi Jeff,
I tried putting bpmember but it would not load so I have deleted buddypress and will try again and use bpmember before using any other theme to see if this will work!
I will let you know how I get on!

I am wondering if there is some file for the Main Theme that comes bundled with BuddyPress
There are two default themes that come with BP–the bphome theme and the bpmember theme.
My standard caveat when creating custom themes from the default themes:
Make sure that you make a copy of both bphome theme and bpmember theme. Your customizations should be done in copies, not the original. That way, if you have issues with your custom themes (and we all do when working on customization), you can switch back to the standard BP themes to see how things should work.
Head Bar Going Across the Screen
With regards to your second issue, this thread may help
Jeff:
Yes, I believe that option is selected. It says “BuddyPress Default Member Theme”, whatever that is.
I believe that thread is more about the user getting 404 errors. My problem is that I’m not.
Pierce2-
You’re correct! My mistake.
Okay, do have the the bpmember theme selected in WPMU’s backend?
BuddyPress > General Settings > Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages
Jeff:
While I may be wrong, I believe that thread is more about the user getting 404 errors. My problem is that I’m not. 
On any URL you type (/buddypress/asdaosdasd), it just shows up a blank page saying nothing.
@Dabomb
Good luck with the customizations!
If this issue is resolved, as best it can be given the nature of your topic, please set the light to green above.
1. Photoshop File For Main Theme:
I am wondering if there is some file for the Main Theme that comes bundled with BuddyPress, as I am attempting to change the header logo without making a whole new one. The text that I am making in Photoshop comes out really “unsoft” so I just thought it would look better if I could modify the original theme… Or could someone tell me how to make the text softer as with the logo on the default theme?
2. Head Bar Going Across the Screen:
The one layout design decision that has been annoying me since I got BuddyPress was why the search bar and the user bar at the top (not the one that says BuddyPress, under that) didn’t stretch to fill the page. I have been attempting to edit some CSS to make this happen, but it just isn’t working. I have managed to tie the behavior to max-width, but can’t delete this variable without the WHOLE page filling up as the screen is resized.
Thanks for any help!
Jeff, yea I figured we would have to customize almost all of it, but we have been doing that with wordpress for about 6 months now on the many sites we have done. I talked to some folks about it at WordCamp San Fran this weekend. I figured I would as the pro’s in here just to be sure.
Jeff, are there some basic instructions that might outline what we need to use from the buddypress files in the wp files for the theme?
You can use any WordPress theme for the home theme.
But, to have success integrating it with BP, you’ll need to copy the functions.php in /bphome/ to your new home theme’s functions.php file. Also, there are certain code elements in the header.php file of the /bphome/ theme that you’ll need to add to your own home theme.
You may then also want to design a custom member theme that takes the look and feel of your home theme.
There is no option called “BuddyPress”, under “Site Admin” menu.
That is correct.
BuddyPress has its own menu grouping found at the very bottom of the menu group column. It is just below the Settings menu grouping.

Thanks for the details.
Carefully read this thread and see if that solves your problem. Post back in this thread either way.
