BuddyPress.org

Maybe I should just grovel for a bit… I assumed my component would work the same as yours. I thought I would have to enable it under the BuddyPress Component Setup, and it would then be activated sitewide. I also hadn’t changed the default text “My BuddyPress Component 1.0 This BuddyPress component is the greatest thing since sliced bread”. I didn’t recognize my own component I activated it sitewide (under plugins instead of buddypress componenets) and it seems to be functioning the same way as RC1. My apologies!

Yeah, I understand the themes, I’m talking about the components developed from the skeleton component. I made mine with v1.1 and now it’s broken with RC2.

I’m also having a problem with my themes, but for me it the home theme, the member theme works fine. I have upgraded to RC-2, following all the instructions, but when I try to activate the theme, I get a blank page in the preview. Any thoughts?

Note: In the “themes” it indicates that the theme is “BuddyPress Home Theme 1.0-RC1,” but i copied it from the RC-2 installation. I also manually downloaded RC-2 and replaced the home theme again, but the same result.

Were you running WPMU 2.7.1-beta1 before upgrading to the public version of 2.7.1?

If so, did you try using the auto update feature? If you did, it will not work since the version is already 2.7.1.

Instead, you have to do it the old fashion way: delete what is not needed, upload new files, then log in as site admin and got to Site Admin > Upgrade and finish the upgrade. Then, install BuddyPress, activate, and do the various theme directory changes.

Also, are you using a brand new wp-config.php file–the one that comes with WPMU 2.7.1? Or, did you use an older version?

If so, there is an additional define line added to WMPU’s config file as of 2.7.1:

define(\'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE\', 1);

put the member theme in /wp-content/bp-themes/ it could be that

could you open a new ticket here? https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket ?

Have you updated the bp-themes?

I’ve tried disabling -all- plugins running my site naked, although, it didn’t work at all;

My first work was the upgrade of my existing theme to the new standards ; although that gives the same error as the “buddypress home RC2” theme.

I’m not really convinced this is themes related…

I’m 100% sure it’s not mu-plugins related either, because I’ve tried disabling all those by moving them away, disabling sunrise in wp-config.php and it did nothing else more than rendering a lot useless and giving the same 404 errors on the main domain.

the plugins directory I moved too, backed up the database before moving them, logging in, lots of things not working anymore including the slugs, which were still giving the same 404 errors …

restored the database, plugin directories, mu-plugins and enabled sunrise again, because it didn’t matter at all; except that my blog articles are currently working towards the world …

Make sure you are updating your bp theme and it is in /wp-content/bp-themes

Make sure you update the bp home theme

Disable all other plugins

Okay a couple more questions:

1. You say that your site is now up and running. Did adding that additional line to WPMU’s config file make that happen?
2. When you upgraded to WPMU 2.7.1, did you log into the backend as site admin then go to the Site Admin > Upgrade and finish the upgrade?
3. Are you using a custom theme?
4. Did you move the themes into their proper location following these instructions?
5. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress activated?

The last question should not be a factor, but it helps to know your overall setup.

Unless you have somethig you need to keep, remove Everything

I am having exactly the same problem, tested with the standard themes on http://beta.artistblog.me ; doesn’t work .. 404 errors on all SLUGS, starting at the one above.

When testing this on the main domain, http://artistblog.me ; with my own themes, I get exactly the same errors. When putting the standard themes on the main domain … no luck ..

It’s driving me crazy since the entire social networking is off-line …

I’ve upgraded the themes and all…

If you are not using custom themes yet, just delete everything and start from scratch with RC-2. By the looks of it, you don’t have much data yet.

Follow the install instructions step by step and you will be fine:

Also, please don’t use “buddypress” in your domain name. When we get a hosting page set up on this site, we can’t link to your site if it breaks the domain policy.

First change your home theme to a standard WordPress default theme, disable all other plugins, then try and delete.

99.9% of the time it’s going to be because you haven’t upgraded your theme properly. If you are seeing problems like this, try the default theme first, and if it works with that then it’s your theme.

For me it got solved. I used a cutsom theme, and I didn’t update the theme correctly. Now it works.
