Jeff, did the code for the icon, heart_bullet.png, get stripped out? I can’t seem to find it.
I just rolled out BuddyPress on an existing WPMU install with 300+ users and a whole bunch of blogs. It looks like it’s working great, but no users show up in the Member directory (except myself) and no sites show up in the Blogs directory.
Is there any way to get users and blogs showing up, or do they all need to be edited?
I’ve recently installed the 1.0 version of BuddyPress, I’m using a custom theme built for the RC1 version of BuddyPress. I’ve added the directories folders, css, and Activate.php
Plugins-sidebar.php, Plugin-template.php files etc.
When I go to the members, group, and blog pages the user bar and options bar appear on the left, on the bphome theme this doesn’t appear.
I can’t figure out what is causing that to appear.
The Google Maps Quicktags plugin
http://www.remotesensingtools.com/2007/08/22/wordpress-plugin-google-maps-quicktag/
takes care of this problem (which would also affect embedded Google Maps).
Before I installed a custom theme I tried the default theme and had the same problems. I did solve the group wire problem following Andy\’s advice in another thread. https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2339
If I can solve this widget problem I am good to go.
I think I’ve narrowed down the problem. The installation isn’t recognizing the fact that bp-themes is in the wp-content directory.
Even though the two options for Member and Skeleton themes are available through the buddypress settings panel, whenever I try to load the BP theme itself after activating it the large screenshot that comes up just says “You do not have any BuddyPress themes installed.
Please move “/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/” to “/wp-content/bp-themes” and refresh this page. “
However I’ve verified, and re-verified, and re-verified again that bp-themes is, in fact, in the wp-content folder along with themes plugins mu-plugins etc.
Anyone know what could be causing this?
I just removed BP from the WMU completely, then reinstalled it following the directions at https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypress/ to the T and the same problem is still happening.
i gave up and did it my own way 
i basically looked at the URL and checked to see if it matched, if so, then use the selected class, if not, then a dummy class. use if you like:
<?php
global $current_user;
$username = $current_user->user_login;
function curPageURL() {
$pageURL = 'http';
if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
$pageURL .= "
/";
if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]."".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
} else {
$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
}
return $pageURL;
}
$currentURL = curPageURL();
if ( $currentURL == "http://domain.net/members/$username/mystuff/stuff-home" ) {
$dynamicClass = 'selected';
} else {
$dynamicClass = 'NOTselected';
}
?>
<li class="<?php echo $dynamicClass; ?>"><a href="<?php echo 'http://domain.net/members/'.$username.'/mystuff/stuff-home' ?>" title="<?php _e( 'My Stuff', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'My Stuff', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
To answer both questions the setup/directory listing for buddypress is
nacdb.com/members/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/
nacdb.com/members/wp-content/themes/bphome/
nacdb.com/members/wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/
members/ contains all of WMU – its not in the root directory.
I swear you keep editing your initial post – Quit it. LMAO
I see what you’re saying. All of your links have an extra directory in them.
members/admin is what you want
member/members/admin is what you’re getting.
Is your buddypress stuff in
wp-content >> plugins >> buddypress
You installed BuddyPress in http://www.example.com/members ?
That was just an example of the structure that the links seem to follow – not the actual url.
The actual url is nacdb.com/members
No Luck.
I tried removing the duplicate files, then reactivating the theme.
When I went to reactivate the theme the screen that pops up that should you the screenshot of the theme and has the “Activate This Theme” at the top right had this message:
You do not have any BuddyPress themes installed.
Please move “/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/” to “/wp-content/bp-themes” and refresh this page.
However, I’m staring at my ftp screen and its already there!
I am so thrilled that Buddypress finally released v1.0 so I am ready to bring BP out to the public. About the new updates on latest trunk versions, is it ok to continue and update with trunk? Is it good idea to wait until BP release the official updates through WPMU plugin page?
How’s about the Albums to post their own photos or videos with BP? I did not find any status on Roadmap or Timeline for Albums.
Looking forward to see more themes even I will be more than happy to pay the premium theme for BP also more BP plugins! Keep up the good work
You installed BuddyPress in http://www.example.com/members ?
Here is a great introduction by Trent Adams to the HyperDB plugin.
As far as this issue is concerned:
If there are other blogs/sites created within the WPMU installation (but not BuddyPress) and other BBPress installations as well, is it recommended that everything reside in the same database, or should things like the additional BBPress installations use a separate database?
…
I don’t want to completely kill whatever server this could potentially end up running on, but quick response times and user integration between all platforms is key. The higher-ups estimate that there would be about 1,000 or so users for the duration of the event,
In this scenario, splitting WPMU data between multiple databases on the same database server will not give you much of an advantage. In fact, it could even slow read/write down slightly. But, if this is a temporary site, which it sounds like it might be, then splitting the load between multiple DB servers is probably not realistic.
The biggest issue will be how many web server and DB server cycles are dedicated to your domain and how many to other people’s domains. If you have a small hosting account, then you’ll absolutely need to upgrade to a decent VPS.
Dang! jjj beat me by 45 seconds!
Tony-
I had this issue as well about a month ago. The solution is simple. You need to create a new account.
Why? Because, like me, you created an account with a space in your account name (username). Also like me, you choose to use your real name. Logically enough, you put a space between your first and last name. You can see that by hovering your cursor over your name. Do you see the “%20”? That is the space.
This is not a BuddyPress issue. This is an issue with the way that WPMU processes new registrations, allowing spaces in usernames. Unfortunately, this can cause issues.
Andy knows more about this issue than I do, but suffice it to say, when creating your new username, do not put a space in it.
Problem is because your username has a space in it and is using capital letters. Where did you originally register your account and how?
If you click on Create a Group, you will see that it’s currently disabled, however groups are essentially harmless and are meant to be ways for users to get together on their own and discuss whatever they want to discuss.
Hi,
For some reason when I am logged into this site I cannot access my profile when I click on my hyperlinkes name top right – I just go back to the homepage – bug? Also in the admin bar there is an option to Create a Group – surely this is not an option which every new user should have and in turn should be disabled for non-authorised users?
Thanks
Tony
Edit: I believe I put this in the wrong forum. I thought I was in the Miscellaneous forum, so I apologize in advance.
Hi guys!
The project I’m working on is considering using BuddyPress for some social networking for an event that’s being run sometime later this year. I know BuddyPress can include a BBPress installation for an integrated forum system, and people can create blogs within BP as well. If there are other blogs/sites created within the WPMU installation (but not BuddyPress) and other BBPress installations as well, is it recommended that everything reside in the same database, or should things like the additional BBPress installations use a separate database?
I don’t want to completely kill whatever server this could potentially end up running on, but quick response times and user integration between all platforms is key. The higher-ups estimate that there would be about 1,000 or so users for the duration of the event, if that gives any insight as to the scale of what’s being considered.
Would a dedicated WPMU installation be a better idea, in conjunction with a second WPMU installation for integration with everything else?
Thanks for any input you can offer!

Hi
I am using WPMU v2.7.1, BuddyPress v1.0 and BBPress v0.9.0.4.
Everything works fine except that when I attempt to login to BBPress as admin I get redirected back to the main BBPress page. I set up all the integration stuff a long time ago, edited the bb-config file and added the “required” code, set up my key, etc and I had this issue solved awhile back but then when I went from BP RC2 to v1.0, somehow I lost the ability to login into BBPress’s admin.
I’ve searched until I was blue in the face and am at my wit’s end. The last time this happened, I was able to fix it easily but I can’t remember HOW I fixed it now. Can anyone give me some advice please?.
Thanks so much!.
How about extending the fb-connect using Facebook open stream?
