Your best beat is to wait for BP 1.0.3.

@kipperman

I’m sorry that your having issues getting BuddyPress up and running.

One request first: since this post is marked as resolved and is a month old, in general it is better to start a new thread as most people that can help you will often ignore posts marked resovlved, preferring to spending their time focusing on threads that still are unresolved. Please read this for more information.

Concerning your issue, this is a known bug that has been discussed here. Basically, BuddyPress 1.0.3, the next release coming very soon, will take care of this issue. So, in the meantime, you may need to stick with WPMU 2.7.1 and BP 1.0.2.

Also, before upgrading BuddyPress and WPMU, it is very important that you first deactivate all BuddyPress-dependent plugins. Then deactivate BuddyPress itself. Finally, it is recommended that you deactivate all other non-BP related sitewide plugins as well. Once finished upgrading WPMU, you then upgrade and reactivate BP. Then, you reactivate the other BP-dependent plugins.

hi, I have been reading this thread (and a couple like it).

I too have having the same trouble with getting BP running. All installed as per instructions, thmes move as listed but getting the same error

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. You can download more themes here.

I have deleted all the files and re-uploaded them going through another install and the same fault occurs.

In the Admin BP setting bottom left the themes it see’s are all in the WP themes – NOT the BP themes. Like above I experiemented by copying the BP member theme to the WP themes and the BP admin Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages could then see the bpmember directory. (but obviously won’t work from there.)

I am use MU 2.8.1 and BP 1.0.2

Really really stuck – driving me mad!

Using Comment Form Quicktags (which puts it for the blog), I was able to tweak a little and get it to work by manually editing files.

For the Wire, I edited my theme’s membertheme/wire/post-forum.php from

<textarea name="wire-post-textarea" id="wire-post-textarea"></textarea>

to

<script type="text/javascript">edToolbar();</script>

<textarea name="wire-post-textarea" id="wire-post-textarea"></textarea>

<script type="text/javascript">var edCanvas = document.getElementById('wire-post-textarea');</script>

In theory the plugin should be hackable, but adding this:

add_action('wire-post-textarea', array(&$this, 'detect_end'));

to

/**

* Start to detect <textarea>.

*/

function detect_start($file) {

ob_start(array(&$this, 'add_tags'));

$this->ended = false;

add_action('comment_form', array(&$this, 'detect_end'));

add_action('wp_footer', array(&$this, 'detect_end'));



return $file;

}

didn’t work so I’ll have to keep poking around.

There has been a workaround posted here:

@John not quite following what your answer means. I have the exact same issue with the member theme running WPMU 2.8.1 and BP 1.0.2 … please help.

… OK, just saw your reply on your profile page … we wait for 1.0.3 then?

I completed installation of the following

WPMU 2.8.1, (trunk 1867)

BuddyPress 1.1

bbpress 1.01, (trunk 2311)

BuddyBar 1.0.3

Site:

http://www.wpmeetups.com

http://www.wpmeetups.com/forums/

Integration has been successfully set-up between Forums and BuddyPress Group Forums.

Problem: Insertion of the following in bb-config.php: (generates a white screen)

<php

if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) & !defined( ‘XMLRPC_REQUEST’ )) {

define( ‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false );

include_once( ‘/var/www/vhosts/wpmeetups.com/httpdocs/wp-blog-header.php’ );

header( “HTTP/1.1 200 OK” );

header( “Status: 200 All rosy” );

}

Question: Will the following correction to 2 core files correct this problem:

You’ll actually need to patch two CORE files, to make this work now.

wp-includes/wpmu-functions.php on line 317 and line 352

Change _init to __constuct (__construct)

And then in wp-includes/capabilites.php on line 84 and 99

Change _init to __constuct (__construct)

Ugh… I hope this is fixed soon.

Whenever a new user registers he get an email saying click this to activate.

And when I click it it takes me to a wierd place to crop avatars

Okay, I’m a little confused by what you are reporting:

1. So, are you just testing a new BuddyPress installation? Why else would you be clicking on a new user’s registration.
2. If that is the case, have you tried using two different browsers–one for each user?
3. Have you cleared old session cookies before registering a new user?
4. Which version of BuddyPress are you running?
5. There should only be one confirmation email sent. It is the one with the activation link. Are you using different emails for each account? Be default, WPMU makes sure that there are no duplciate accounts.
6. Are you using a custom themes, or the default themes?
7. Do you have any other plugins, besides BuddyPress, installed and activated? If so, have you tried deactivating them to check if they might be causing a conflict?

Short answer: theme error is complicated. I’m writing up a Trac ticket and will put the link here later.

Workaround: duplicate your /bp-member/* folders into /wp-content/themes/. This will populate the correct info in the drop-down box. Once this issue is fixed, you can remove the duplicates from /wp-content/themes/.

FYI, you can also trick this with a link.

from /wp-content/themes:

$ ln -s ../bp-themes/THEMENAME THEMENAME

Worked great When you’re done, delete the link.

If you are using WPMU 2.8.1, then this is a known bug. There’s at least one other recent post on this forum, and there’s a ticket been raised for this on the BuddyPress bug tracker.

If that’s so, I haven’t been around for that long

You’re missing the fact that there are two themes – the “home theme” and the “member theme”.

Just launched this custom MU/BuddyPress theme last week for a client of mine:

I realize I’m not incorporating the correct method for deep integration, but this setup is what keeps the forums integrated between BuddyPress and bbPress.

If you have any suggestions on what I should check or look into, I would appreciate it.

Using the bb-config.php file as it is now I can login and out of BuddyPress and bbPress without issue. Cookies are shared and work as expected. The BuddyBar for bbPress plugin seems to have revealed my deep integration issues.

Thanks for any help!

With fresh install of 2.8.1 and bp 1.02 I could add and delete a user. And as reported I am having a problem with the member themes. It seems to work when the member theme is in the /themes folder, but not sure if this is related but I am not getting a the menu to edit the profile and avatar. Could be a problem with some mu-plugins, but at this point doesn’t seem to be. Will check more.

I have wordpress mu installed at the subdomain http://wpmu.zyrot.com . All blogs are then located at http://yourbloghere.wpmu.zyrot.com . The Forums are fully installed at http://forums.zyrot.com and I was able to integrate users and cookies. I really would like to do deep integration so that I can have the buddybar and so that I make my own theme for the forums. If you can help me, it would be very appreciated.

Thanks

Workaround: duplicate your /bp-member/* folders into /wp-content/themes/. This will populate the correct info in the drop-down box. Once this issue is fixed, you can remove the duplicates from /wp-content/themes/.

But buddypress and all other bp related plugins still activate with fatal error message.

http://ywamheidebeek.org/temp/error-1.jpg

Also some template code will stop the page from completely parsing and consequently not the whole page will be loaded.

A little more info on this bug.

For theme selection, the “BuddyPress Settings” page is looking at the themes in wp-content/themes, yet it loads the theme from wp-content/bp-themes.

That means that to use a bp member theme, you need to have a copy of the theme in both the wp-content/themes directory and the wp-content/bp-themes directory.

This means that the generated HTML ends up loading the CSS and templates from wp-content/bp-themes/<themename>

I was thinking that maybe the BP Devs should change BP so that the BuddyPress themes can optionally be installed in the standard themes directory.

That way if they were able to be configured like wordpress child themes, site designers would have the option of making their BP member themes reuse styles from the theme they select for their BP home theme. That would limit the amount of CSS that needs to be developed.

I gave it a try by attempting to create a child theme of bphome. Whilst I can select it, BP ignores it and just displays bpmember.

What do you think of this suggestion?

Great work-around!
