But to get the forums to look as though they’re part of your BuddyPress, do you need to do something with the forums theme locally?
If I put a link into the navigation bar at the moment, it takes me to the bbPress installation which looks completely different to the BuddyPress installation.
This site (buddypress.org, I mean) seems either to have integrated the call to the forums or made the forums look like the BuddyPress theme.
Anyone able to give me some pointers?!
Thanks in advance for any clues…
You’re welcome. Don’t forget to change the status to resolved. Helps everyone to know which questions still need answering. 
I just thought, in case anyone was wondering…
I started a server from scratch (Ubuntu Hardy, Apache 2, PHP 5 MySQL 5) and installed a fresh WPMU 2.7.1 with a brand new bare database, only using the default theme w/out any plugins (w/out buddypress too)…and was STILL able to reproduce the internal redirect.
I then thought to see if other MU installs would react the same way…
so I tested these (plus about 30 others, not all Buddypress sites, some just MU installs)
http://bp-dev.org/wp-cotent/plugins/bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg
and…
http://www.flokka.com/wp-cotent/plugins/bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg
(I misspelled “wp-cotent” and the error came)
It happened on MOST WPMU installs (buddypress.org and WordPress.com returned 404 errors)
I realize this is a WordPress Mu issue, so I reported on their forums
https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/12676
But if anyone has an idea as to make these errors a 404 like buddypress and wordpress.com do, Please Help.
@Peterpan77 – please do not shout. No-one replied to your last post a week ago, and shouting won’t have convinced anyone otherwise.
If you do not have exactly the same problems that Sugarmindy has, please start a new topic.
@Sugarmindy – most of this thread consists of posts you have made. Personally I find it very hard to collect and compile all of your info in my head. Can I suggest we start over? Please reply here providing the info we have asked for at https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2674 and summarise your problems again, like you did in the first post (if they are still relevant). Thanks

installed via simplescript at bluehost
This may be your issue. You really should not be installing complex software platforms like WPMU by using third-party installers. You should manually install WPMU paying careful, close attention to the readme.txt file that comes with it.
Also, search the forums for “BlueHost” to see the issue other users have when using simplescripts. Here’s one to get you started.
the redirection plugin (checked that already), avatar plugin, wordpress.com stats, akismet, statpressCN, Sociable, Author Avatars List, google analytics
To isolate WPMU and BuddyPress issues, you need to deactivate all plugins. This means that BuddyPress should be the only plugin running period. If your site issues go away, then you activate one plugin at a time, testing with each reactivation, until you get the problem again.
not aware of any relevant errors
The question asks for a listing of any errors in your server’s log files, it does not ask for you to decide whether or not they are relevant.
When providing a listing of errors, you do not need to copy into the thread the entire contents of each error file. A single error can be repeated many times. We just need a single instance of each, unique error. More times than not that is sufficient. If we need more info, we may ask to see the entire contents.
Trying to accomplish the same objective, I found this article: https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/1463
After following the setup directions, when I created a new user, created a blog, created a post, and then went to view the post, it appeared in the expected theme. As the user, I *did not* need to go to set the theme myself.
Towards the end of the thread, there is the following
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As of 2.7 this information:
….
===========================================
Lines 311 and 312 of wp-admin/includes/schema.php in the populate_options function.
add_option(‘template’, ‘yourthemename’);
add_option(‘stylesheet’, ‘yourthemename’);
===========================================
That worked great, thanks!

yep, seems to be quiet here, very quiet…
We need more information to provide assistance. Please answer these questions.
please search the forum before posting the same questions posted before. And make sure you read documents.
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/
You really need to read documents and learn basics of wpmu before using buddypress. Otherwise buddypress forum gets messed up with general wpmu topics, which are not supposed to be posted here.
n/w, Site Admin > Blogs > there you’ll have to set the main blog to access that theme.
This is a basic WordPress question and not a BuddyPress question.
Pages cannot have categories or tags. If you want or need these, then you’ll have to use WP posts instead.
Here’s a link to a WP codex article on pages that will help answer some of your questions.
Now, you could use BuddyPress groups along with Burt Adsit’s BP Content plugin to accomplish your goal.
We do not have sufficient information to begin helping you. Please answer these questions.
thanks for the reply JohnJJ,
i’ve the “deep integration” indeed i’ve the search and login bar, i’ve wp_head in head and wp_footer in footer i’ve writed here (#8 post in this 3d), but the buddybar doesn’t show…
any idea?
another information, i’ve installed 0.9.0.4 and the buddybar with the same theme is ok, but i can’t access to bb-admin, so i’ve upgraded to rc-2 (trunk version) all works but not buddybar… thanks for help!
In order to have the buddybar appear, you need to do what is called “deep integration” between the platforms. It means including WordPress and BuddyPress, inside your bbPress process.
See this post.
At that point, the wp_footer() will load the BuddyBar, but you will need to pull off some styling tweaks to make it all play nicely together.
Ok, never mind re., the direct to:
/home1/openboo2/public_html/blogging/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php
I think that’s just people trying to access the dead site. Ok, back to digging in error files!
@Jeff,
I am still having trouble. Didn’t want to keep reminding you; there are other people on the board who need help also.
But yes, I am still trying to get this resolved.
Looks like PHP5.
Here’s something weird. This line?
/home1/openboo2/public_html/blogging/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php
That’s pointing to an old bbpress install that isn’t connected to this install at all. It’s an old defunct site and the wordpress it was connected to is uninstalled. (Dumped the database, deleted the wordpress files.) Any idea how this install got it into its head to point something there? I’m going to go ahead and delete the white space but I have the bbpress for these forums in public_html/forums.
Thanks for the help!
Dennyhalim.com-
so it seems that bp cannot correctly calculate the time the blog last active.
this might related to timezone problem.
This thread shows you how to deal with this issue: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2437#post-13341
i check between the blog that cause problem and the blog listed before it,
all have same plugin activated.
So, if you do not have any plugins activated anywhere, except BuddyPress, you still have this issue?
Jfcarter-
Okay, one more time! Since you did not provide me a friendly reminder when I failed to get back to you within 24 hours, are you still have issues with this problem?
Moominmama-
Thanks for the detailed issue report. It is nice to see someone actually following the procedure!
As I’ve seen one of your posts in another thread, I realize that you are aware of various issues that some people have installing WPMU on BlueHost. It seems that you’ve navigated far along the path and may be close to success. So, I’ll see if I can provide you with another step or two toward the finish line.
PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home1/openboo2/public_html/blogging/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php:123) in /home1/openboo2/public_html/blogging/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php on line 214
The “Cannot modify header” error almost always indicates that there is some whitespace before the opening php or closing php tag. It could be in one or both places. Open up class.bpdb.php and look for the whitespace. It should be removed and the file saved.
PHP Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /home1/openboo2/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress-live.php on line 425
Are you running PHP4 or PHP5?
Wow…You are right Moominmama! Installing WordPress MU wasn’t bad at all. II just finished installing it with BuddyPress and I think I just got BBPress working. BBPress was a lot more involved and the only part that isn’t completely working has to do with being automatically logged into the forum if you log into your BuddyPress account.
Oh well, this is good enough for now.
Thanks!
This is just off the top of my head. No guarantees. Try something like this:
<input type="image" name="search-submit" id="search-submit"
src="/path/to/your/submit.gif" alt="submit" />
Please realize that since you are hacking the core (making changes to a core BuddyPress file), the next time you update BP, your changes will be lost. Instead, you should create an alternate function for bp_search_form() and place that in a bp-custom.php file.
We’ve been having a related discussion in this thread. Are you using BlueHost as well? It does not really matter. The lessons in the link are the same.
The requested URL /community/members was not found on this server.
Do you have the default member theme (bpmember) installed in /wp-content/bp-themes/?
Group, Members, Blogs, Registration, does not work.
I assume registration is working fine now because I just visited your site and you have a newly registered member–a test account, I assume. The time on your OP clearly indicates that you started this thread before you registered that new account.
Finally, please go through this list of questions.
