Are ou sure you have the ame problem
Please move “/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/” to “/wp-content/bp-themes/” and refresh this page. You can download more themes here.
If you having problems with the default member theme not being found after upgrading, these steps should correct the problem.
1. Navigate to the BuddyPress Settings page and under the option “Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages” select the skeleton theme and click Save Settings.
2. Now return and select the default theme and click Save Settings.
3. It should work now.
Hope that helps!
I have found a fix for the problem. To fix this issue, navigate to your BuddyPress Settings page and under the option “Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages:” select the skelton theme and save the settings.
Now return and select the default theme and click Save Settings. It should work now.
For some reason it was not finding the theme originally but after the switch it found the theme right away.
hah. i was also looking for this same thing. i would have also liked to have the buddypress theme activated for all individual blogs.
I am having this same problem while upgrading from beta2 to 1.0. My home theme and the default home theme work fine, but the member theme still says it is missing.
I have deleted the old directories and moved /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/ to /wp-content/bp-themes/
so my result is mysite.com/wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/
According to the instructions that is all that is needed. I am also seeing BP_MEMBERS_SLUG in the member theme. This one is puzzling me

Interesting things, Jeff.
Thanks for introducing Firebug and Web Developer Tools. Imagine my plight of going to every file through the Cpanel file manager (which has no Back button!).

<script type=“text/javascript†language=“javascriptâ€>
window.resizeTo(800, 600)
</script>
Is the height parameter a must, or can you leave it like (800, )?

I usually use the FTP service from My Network Places in my Windows-XP.
When I tried to remove one WPMU folder I got the error message
“500 Can’t Remove Directory. Permission denied”.
I had posted this problem at a WPMU forum.
The answer I got was WPMU does something at the Apache level
and that I can’t do much about it unless mine is a dedicated hosting service.
From what you said I gather that my work is to be done somewhere up,
not under public-html at the folder level, right?

I’m sure it could be worked to get it to play well with BuddyPress!
At the bare minimum, there are some important changes/additions to certain theme files and folders that would need to be made as detailed here in the section entitled “Upgrading the Theme files”.
Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts on how to extend and expand BuddyPress!
The best way to communicate your ideas to BP developers is through one (or both) of these links:
https://buddypress.org/groups/buddypress-features
https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket –> log into trac using your BuddyPress.org username and password, and create a new ticket for an enhancement request.
Thanks for the post, Kusal!
I’m not sure if this was an issue when you posted it 8 hours ago, but I can see a BP favicon on the home, forum, and all member pages.
Are you running BP version 1.0? Is your old theme a custom theme?
Assuming that you upgraded to v1.0, carefully read the section entitled “Upgrading the Theme files” in this BuddyPress Codex link.

You’re welcome–although I don’t know how helpful I’ve been.
With FTP, you should be able to go into your web root and do pretty much anything you want–that is assuming your hosting firm gives you FTP access privileges.
ie6 only displays 800px screens. is there a way to trick firefox or chrome into behaving like that?
Well, it seems that you are trying to do just that via the CSS. I’m not sure what the issue is though?
I suppose you could use JavaScript to force a resize of the browser window but this would only work for users you have javascript enable (most do) and have not set the Firefox Option that prevents a script from moving or resizing a window. Look here: http://schleichermann.wordpress.com/2009/02/04/javascript-resize-window/
Another great FireFox Add-on is the Web Developer Tools. It may help you gain more insight into what is going on!
The home theme is not designed to be activated on every members blog. You could create your own theme that brings in some BuddyPress features for each blog though. Users can actually add still add BuddyPress widgets to their blogs.

You can customize the home theme to accomplish that goal. To make sure that no one can enter the community until they’ve registered and logged in, you could try implementing some of these suggestions.

The community pages would be your customized member theme.
Another? Yes, you can change the default theme in the admin settings. A specific BuddyPress theme? No.
Hi,
It seems that when you have a user create a Blog they get the default K2 style theme – is here anyway in which they can get another / BuddyPress theme on creation?
Many thanks

bpContents is a BuddyPress sitewide and external content aggregation and categorization plugin. It allows any type of content to be organized into a hierarchy. Think of it as a virtual file system implemented with SQL tables and relationships. Each path in the tree can have it’s own set of categories and tags.
These paths in the tree might be:
/members/waldowarp/profile
/members/burtadsit/profile
Those two paths represent two containers for content. In those containers we can build an entire collection of categories, tags and content items. The tree would look like this with both Waldo and I having tags for ‘transformers’ and ‘restaurants’.
site
–members
—-waldowarp
profile
transformers
restaurants
—-burtadsit
profile

I wanted to put some documentation for this project out there. That’s what is here:
The core of this project is undergoing testing now.

Hello,
I am facing exactly the same problem.
WPu correctly setup, and Buddypress activated as a plugin,
all the links at the top of WP lead to 400 :
The requested URL /press/members/admin/activity was not found on this server.
The requested URL /press/members/admin/profile was not found on this server.
The requested URL /press/members/admin/blogs was not found on this server.
…
I checked my WP folder, and no members folder.
How is it supposed to be created?
Thank you.
Nicolas
Dainismichel, I’ve been that route for the past year and a half. Nothing compares to buddypress that is out there. I’m hoping to find a skeleton theme that integrates the blogs nicely. I have one now from wildrot, but it will take a lot of work to get it production ready. I’ll keep you posted.
Anyone have a decent “community theme” set up that works for member blogs? Willing to share?

sql queries – because I wanted to use this script outside of buddypress installation.
taxonomy tables – as I said I need to get tags of newest posts sitewide.
As I see I can use bp_has_activities() to get recent posts without sql queries, but what about tags of those articles?
very interesting thread. i just started something similar here. https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2434
i totally thought the blogs were integrated into the home theme. i had no idea they weren’t. i was going to launch my site this weekend, now it’s looking pretty bad. i would have to hack a theme together, which stinks. i was really excited about the all in one integrated themes, especially at upgrade time. get the new features and no hacks on my theme!
i do like the look of that JPG, but wouldn’t care if it was identical. i would just love the integration of blogs into the home theme. any help or info I can provide to the community, I will post here. please do the same with regular updates.
this is a show stopper for me.
BuddyPress is a more socially focused, but still blog-centric, solution to social networking. From what it sounds like you want something social that gives each person a page to post to. You might try Ning.com or Drupal’s social networking option.
