bp does not run with the standalone version of wp yet. It requires wpmu right now.
I don’t get it I am lost… What do I install?
Do I install the latest trunk for mu below???????
http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/changeset/1728/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip
And install the latest buddypress below?????
http://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/1324/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip
And now do I put the plugins in the plugins folder instead of the mu-plugins folder?????
And won’t that give all the users on mu the same plugins???????
What happened?????????
Thanks for your help
That\’s better. Looking around.
EDIT: I took a look at that trac ticket and it specifically mentions changing the permalink structure to /%category%/ and that RC1 has problems loading the proper templates. It looks to me like that is what is happening in your case. It\’s like the comments.php template isn\’t being loaded. I\’m not finding any html structure from that template under your blog posts. No template no structure. https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/554
The only solution I can suggest to you is change the permalink structure back or install the trunk version of bp. Installing the trunk version means upgrading wpmu to the svn branch of 2.7, deleting bp from /mu-plugins and moving it to the new location in /plugins.
How can I show a specific user’s avatar?
Can I use the following?
bp_the_site_member_avatar()
In addition, where can I find list of template functions for buddypress?
I’ve been running WordPress MU at http://www.freedomblogging.org for some time now (using Dreamhost.com hosting), and recently had to upgrade to MU 2.7.1, which functioned properly after 2 installations.
Yesterday I downloaded Buddypress from the “Download” page – so it was the “RC-1 combo version.”
I’ve followed the installation instructions meticulously through 6 installations and get the same errors over and over again.
The home page functions well, but whenever I click to go to anything besides the traditional WordPress dashboard, I get an error page.
The error says this, replacing xxxxx with whatever page I’m trying to go to, like “members” or “members/admin” or “blogs”:
“Not Found
The requested URL /xxxxx was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”
What is going on and how can I fix it? I’ve been working at this for hours to no avail. Help, please!
Other information: I’m running WordPress MU 2.7.1 with a fully functional Wildcard DNS. I don’t recall setting anything else up for it besides the Wildcard DNS and standard MU installation.
Chris I visited that website and it looks pretty good. I got a question tho, does it integrate with buddypress? Like, lets say I am in a chatroom, will people be able to see my profile over at Buddypress by clicking on my name on the chatroom?
This has been discussed here, and I belive it’s a bug since the release to the latest.
Someone else suggested another cropping tool (which I liked also), but not sure if Andy is going to implement it. I’m not either sure when this cropping bug is fixed completely for anyone using buddypress.
This cropping code is awesome… but not sure how to replace with the default cropping tool on buddypress.

This would be good like an adobe air desktop app…
As you can see I have an already established wordpress blog over at http://www.positiboricua.com . My question is, how can I integrate my buddypress network with this blog? What I want is that people can use their buddypress accounts to comment on the blog posts from positiboricua.com ….any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi 2 all, i\’m new here.
My big problem is that i want to link user\’s bp-profile in a wordpress theme. I use the wordpress theme because the home has any news, but i want – for example – that when anyone comment the article, with a click you can go to buddypress profile, and not in the author.php.
I try with this code:
< a href=”< ?php bp_user_link() ?>”>< ?php bp_user_fullname() ?>< /a> (without space after “<“)
The fullname is empty (no results) and the link is at the opened page (as the \”#\”).
I think i must include any files… Anyone can help me??
Thanks so much!
I would say it would be in your best interests to get used to how the new versions of wpmu and buddypress work together, if what you want is to stay on top of the most recent bug fixes, etc…
Upgrading from RC1 is going to open a whole new set of questions though, as it’s not a super easy thing to do.
yes it is
Not finished yet it needs some wires & friends xmlrpc methods.
Maybe someone could work on an xmlrpc client based on this apis, that might be awesome
The nice thing about themes, they are just html. Which is free to look at and examine. Chances are if you take a look at the source, and spend a few minutes in an image editor you will find this “theme” pretty easy to replicate.
What will be much harder to do is the quality job Andy has done integrating bbpress inside of buddypress. This blend on buddpress.org is seamless, and very difficult to achieve at this point without a lot of “deep intergration”.
But take a look at the source, and I think you will see it holds most the answers.
Andy’s mentioned that he will release some of his tricks eventually, but for now his main focus is readying BP for the 1.0 release.
You can piece a lot of this theme apart by staring at the CSS for a while. (It’s mostly just a lot of background images.)
I wonder if that means he will not release information on how to make the sub-nav and oval shaped content areas.
If I was going to use WordPress and bbPress as past examples, no, and don’t bet that it will be anytime soon.
Someone may make a replica, but usually the *Press public themes aren’t available for public use.
Never Mind, I found the answer in another thread.
It can be changed by changing the ‘BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG’ variable to whatever you would like, but it cannot be totally removed. You could do that in your wp-config.php file, or probably even in plugins/buddypress/bp-custom.php also.
You could essentially hide it by never linking to it within your templates too.

You cannot simply apply one Changeset and expect the entire BuddyPress package to work perfectly. Although that can work sometimes, you really need to apply all the previous Changesets up to that point.
Why, because since RC1 was released, there have been many bug fixes that additively could address your specific problem.
Is the theme here on BuddyPress.Org available to the public for download? If so, where can I find it?
I am using a non BuddyPress theme as my home page with the BuddyPress widgets installed. All of the widgets are functioning properly but for-the-life-of-me I cannot style them properly. I ahve tried modifying the style sheets in my home theme, the BuddyPress home theme, the widget CSS. Nothing seems to work. Here is a link if you want to check it out. http://jeffersoniansobs.org/
Read this thread and see if the issue you’re experiencing is the same. If so, go to the bottom for the solution.

How do I find my old posts/quetions in this forum?
To locate your forum posts, go to the main forum page and look for the link at the top that says, “You can also view your started and replied topics.”
I do not even see a CSS selector named “content” in the link you provided in the OP when I view the source.
If you perform a search on BuddyPress for that specific string, it comes up empty. If you search WPMU, there are over 40 files (no surprise) that have that string. But, wp-signup.php is not one of them.
What exactly are you trying to do?
The only potential draw back with that method Erwin, is that it adds the link at the end of the assembled navigation instead of giving you total control over it.
Something to think about, is that BuddyPress really does allow for per-theme blog setups.
The difference between:
http://delsolownersclub.com/
and
http://delsolownersclub.com/news/
and
http://delsolownersclub.com/mafdark/
Are all just smoke and mirrors with different themes.
You could really make any ‘blog’ of your website do whatever you want it to do, just like how the BuddyPress Codex is really just another blog.
