I followed it line by line, Andy,
bu there is no way I can see the buddypress theme.
But buddyptress is shown as a plugin activated.
The funny thing is pages other than the main page do show the buddypress theme.
Please see the difference between the following twi inks.

Im thinking about setting up a website like youtube/flickr but specifically for gig and concert pictures.
People will be able to upload pictures of gigs theyve been to and other users who also attended the gig will be able to log on and search for the gig and download pictures of the event if ones uploaded for it. There will be a rating system etc and people will be able to join groups for the bands etc
Reason being that i go to alot of gigs and concerts and sometimes my picture quality is not so good or my battery runs out on my digital camera or my mobile phone etc and it would be good to get pictures of the gig from different areas of the venue or closer to the stage or just have memories of the gig.
Each user will have their own profile and be able to comment on other peoples pictures etc
Is this something which will be possible with buddypress?
This is just the basic concept, what do you reckon?
Thanks for the terrific instructions!
My only question is after WPMU 2.7.1, BuddyPress RC-2 and BBpress Alpha 6 is installed and functional, is how to include the Forum button on the home and member templates or did not follow the instructions properly?
Thanks Again
I’ve just checked and replying to messages works fine on the default themes. I’ll take a look what the problem is on buddypress.org – but it’s most likely because I forgot to mention something that needs to be upgraded.
Before you report bugs, always check to see if it broken using the default themes. Most of the time you’ll find those bugs are because you haven’t updated your old theme properly.
Maythil: make sure you have followed the instructions line by line.

Be sure to put your bp-custom.php in /plugins/ and not the /buddypress/ directory so it is not overwritten on upgrades. You’ll need to add a comment header and activate it in RC-2.
Phluxor: disabling the admin bar is easy, add this to your bp-custom.php or your wp-config.php:
define( 'BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR', true );
I installed WPMU 2.7.1 and then BP 1.0 RC-2, but nothing happens.
Neither ‘themes’ no ‘appearance’ shows BP RC2 is installed.
Further, plugins show “You do not appear to have any plugins available at this time”.
It obviously is not as easy as you have mentioned.
here’s the solution in case you missed it. and for all others with the same issue.

I had the same issue and this time around my BP core hacks are really at a minimum (but I still had to hack ! ). Mostly my hacks are to do with disabling some includes (like the admin bar – I wish there was just a switch which isn’t too hard to do).
As Jeff says, I used bp-custom.php for my custom functionality but that only goes so far… You OK with that approach as long as the core BP functions uses a filter or action. If that’s not the case, then your options are gone. What I ended up doing in a couple of cases, was just copy the core BP function into my bp-custom.php file, rename it and change the functionality then call that one instead of the original from my template. Again, this only works if you’re going to change the template functions only. If you need to dig deeper then I have no grand ideas left…
Maxaud-
Yeah, hacking core files is never a good idea. That is why there’s a slick, simple solution!
Place all your custom code in a file called bp-custom.php. It should be located in /wp-content/plugins/ not in the BuddyPress directory. This file will load before the BuddyPress components load.
The file has to be named bp-custom.php and placed where I indicated.
Now, when you update BuddyPress, since your custom code exists outside of the BuddyPress directory, you’ll be fine.
I’m in the process of updating http://www.WannaNetwork.com.
When creating WannaNetwork.com we had to make some changes to the core of BuddyPress for it to functon how we wanted it to.
I know php but I cannot say that I’m proficient at it.
Would would be the best way to redefine or modify buddypress function as to preserve them when updating BuddyPress so I’m not having to go in and change BuddyPress core files every time there is an update made?
Thanks in advance.

agree with @belogical. Sometimes it’s user error or there’s an easy fix.
Actually, it’s that page itself because I can’t change emails from their either. Something with the Settings page with BuddyPress. I can change these items just fine through either bbPress’s admin or WP admin. And nothing else in the profile seems broken. The Settings page loads fine, but clicking Save Changes leads to a 404 (so /general doesn’t seem to exist, I guess?)
Anyhoo, running 1.0 RC 2 and bbPress is 1.0 alpha.
I always like to verify it’s an issue 1st in the forums, then report it to the trac myself.
I’m not sure if I’m using it correctly or not. But type the problem, attach file if any, and submit. right?
Trac is intimidating to most people, including me somedays. I don’t think it’s not knowing they have the ability, I think it’s just not knowing how to use the trac system.
I wish I could contribute, but I got no skills to code. 
btw, I don’t see active forum users reporting problems/bugs on the trac. Perhaps they don’t know they can simply do it with the same account.
Andy’s got a few bug fixes he’s working on at the moment. Keep reporting them as you come across them but also know that he’s on top of them. BP.org was actually down completely yesterday for about 20 minutes, so we’re lucky he brought it back up in its current form.
I’ve posted this last night.

rc2 has so many bugs that disable basic features. Bug fix should be released asap.
Since other users are facing this, I’ve made this ticket as critical.
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/704
I agree. I’ve seen this locally and also on this very website.
Hi fellow BP-ers,
I’ve been searching the forums and haven’t yet found the fix for the smushed/overlapping BuddyPress bar that appears in IE6 and IE7.
Anyone know how to ensure that the BuddyPress, Login, and Signup entries remain separate on that bar in IE6, IE7, and now IE8 (in beta).
Thanks!!
I’ve written out the step by step instructions that I use to integrate the latest releases of BuddyPress, WPMU & bbPress. If someone could test it out and give me your feedback I’d be very appreciative. My main question is, do the directions work or did I leave something out?
To know if it works, you should be able to log in and out of WPMU & be automatically be logged in/out of forums. And vice versa.
Also, you should be able to create new groups with posts & replies.
It’s very detailed, so if you’re having problems getting your forums & groups to work, you might want to give it a try. Couldn’t hurt, right?
It can be found at

Any suggestions, questions & feedback are welcome and VERY appreciated!!!
Thanks!!

Hopefully this is being placed in the right area. Something’s wonky with my ISP and I’m unable to get to the front page of the forums. If not, I apologize and could someone plz move it where it belongs? TYVM!!
Thank you so much for your answer Hyrxx, it really made me relax. So, where from should i start first to do something like this? Does it take days to do this or can be completed in a day? Is there a ready plugin for this kinda something? Sorry for bothering you with lots of questions, i just am really excited about a project in my mind based on buddypress.
looking forward for the answers,
good days..
