Same problem here wp-themes/bpmember

If that is the case, then you have an incorrect directory name. The bpmember theme should be in /wp-contents/bp-themes/, not /wp-themes/.

Also, make sure that you do not have any old BuddyPress themes or old BP theme directories in /wp-content/.

when I change the theme to the church theme that I am using on wpmu it does not work!

BuddyPress themes are special cases of WordPress themes. They have additional functions and some unique code that make them work in BP. So, you cannot take any WP theme and substitute it for a BuddyPress theme.

If you wish to use something other than one of the Standard BP themes, then you need to pick an already available custom BP theme, customize a WP theme to make it work in BP, or design your own BP custom theme from scratch. You can search the BP forums for advice on customizing themes to work in BP.

yeah that works, however i noticed that it distorts the FB pic in the BP member theme. It streches it from 50 x 50 to 150 x 150

Why don’t you create widgetized areas within your theme? That is probably easier and you will have more control over the widgets.

Look here for more info on create widget ready themes

Or is that the part that you tried and didn’t work?

Yeah. Never mind. I’m quitting. Not going to use this any more. Too much trouble.

Additionally BuddyPress > General Settings doesn’t shows up.

Same problem here wp-themes/bpmember is in wp-content. I did as told.

I’m having the same problem, but mine seems to be related only to the “register” page.

I can’t let anyone register. What is the difference between /wp-signup.php and /register?

I can’t get either to work. I did a clean install on another test domain into a new database and it won’t let me signup anyone either. I get blank screens back with no errors.

Ya, John’s right. That’s the symptoms of just putting bpmember in /wp-content instead of /wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember during an upgrade. You then have to vist BuddyPress > General Settings and say Save.

It’s due to the directory ‘bug’ in wpmu 2.7.1.

Do you have a theme named “bpmember” in your wp-contents\bp-themes\ directory?

If so, have you navigated to your BuddyPress settings and activated that theme as your members theme?

Rebootnow-

Since I had only one radio button field, which was located in my first field group, I did the following:

• I added a new radio button field to my second field group and tested. No issue.
• Then, thinking it could be an issue if two or more radio button field sets were in the same field group, I added a second radio button field set to the same group. No issue between all three radio button field sets.
• Then I created a new field group and added a fourth radio button field set. No issue. Each change I made showed up and remained properly set, whether just changing a single radio button field, or changing all four radio button fields.
• Finally, thinking maybe this could be an issue only within the first field group, I added a second radio button field to the first field group. I now had 5 radio button field sets. No issue. All five worked as expected. No issues within filed groups or between field groups.
• Since the first radio button field set in the first field group was set to “Required”, I reset it to “Not Required” to see if that would make a difference. No issue.
• I then set both radio button field sets in the first field group to “Required”. No issue.

So, I have tried numerous combinations and cannot recreate your problem.

A few questions:

1. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, try disabling .
2. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? If customized themes, try switching to the default BP themes.
3. Are there any errors in your server’s log files?

How would I update a pre 1.0 theme?

Subster-

First, you should not edit the core files–this includes the widget files. Instead, make copies of the widget files that you want to modify, give them a unique name, and then work on those copies. You can then install and activate your new widget in WPMU’s backend like any other widget.

Second, before modifying any widget, you should remove it from any BuddyPress theme column in which it is installed. This is just a wise precaution.

Third, I’d suggest copying back to their original locations, unaltered versions of the widget files that you modified.

Making a backup copy of your DB is always a good idea before any modification that can impact the data. But, as far as what you’ve done with your actual data in you DB, I cannot advise.

These two error messages indicate that you do not have a a complete install of the standard member theme.

You state that you are using the standard BuddyPress themes and it seems like you are able to access the member theme to get to the links to change the avatars, but the files to alow you to do so are missing.

For the change-avatar.php file, look in /wp-contents/bp-themes/bpmember/profile.

For the group-avatar.php file, look in /wp-contents/bp-themes/bpmember/groups/admin.

If you do not see either of the files in those locations, then your installation is flawed. Reinstall the member theme, reselect it in WPMU admin, and try again.

i’ve the same problem, and i’ve translated the language file, but in po and mo nothing is wrong… any idea to resolve this problem?

i use mu 2.7.1, bp 1.0 with italian localization, home & member default theme.

@DJPaul I think there must be specific issues with BP themes as I’ve tried all the main WPMU multilingual plugins and not succeeded (though admittedly this is probably at least partly me).

I have found one (TransPosh) that is easy, quick and is the nearest thing I can get. But, unlike changing languages via the dashboard, when using any plugin, it seems to use a different system, often just translating on the fly using google translate, for example. So things like ‘login’ aren’t translated properly – especially when my default language is Catalan (regional language in Spain). Whereas setting it in the admin translates perfectly.

I’m more interested in translating the actual structural items – login/account links, menus, etc than the actual blog.

If any clever WP/BP developer reads this can you shed any light on this? Thanks

To Uninstall bbPress

1. Delete bb-config.php from your forums directory.

2. Log into your database and drop the tables that begin with bb_ (assuming you left bb_ as your forum prefix)

To install it again, simply go to the same page you used to install it before. Run through your installation and your bb-config.php as well as the bb_ tables will be created again.
