I think I had the same or similar issue. My blog page was always showing on the main page, so I could only add widgets to the Blog-Sidebar. I messed around with the settings for a while and figured the problem should be stemming from the “bphome” theme. My solution; given that I hadn’t made any modifications in the back, was to just download the latest bphome theme and do a little switcheroo. Delete the faulty put the new in. Hope that helps.

Easiest way is to edit the header.php files of your Home and Member themes.
Try this to make the site always 800px wide in ALL browsers:
in core.css
1) remove the min-width from #main (so it will always be 100% of it’s parent)
2) remove min-width and max-width from body (since you want a fixed width and IE6 doesn’t understand min/max)
3) add “width: 800px;” (or whatever you want) to body (so the entire site will always be this wide)
in admin-bar.css
1) remove “left: 0;” from #wp-admin-bar (so this absolutely positioned element will center itself within the body)
The theme will be a little cramped at 800px… but this should work. Again, if this is just an IE6 issue, I use conditional comments to accomplish what you want (I’m still not 100% sure I understand what you’re trying to achieve).
I am understand all this. But the answer will be short – is not present? It is a pity that I cannot make a forum similar to a forum of this site.
I now try to understand, can I do migration from phpbb3 community on buddypress engine. While the answer one – I can not.
But the project very interesting. It is more than possibilities on moderation and to improve integration with popular forums…
yeah, I am on v1.2 of the component, i was just showing you what I thought was left out when we went to v1.2 from v1.1.
andy, you dirty dog. so it looks like the icon for a new component is no longer supported by the skeleton component v1.2?
hmmm, so how in the devil do I get this to work properly? it looks really odd on my site when all of the main components have an icon on the member theme, and mine doesn\’t.
I made all the changes you suggested, here is the copy of my code. Let me know if I made any mistakes.
http://pastebin.com/m57a2fc51 (v1.2 of my component file, bp-mystuff-cssjs.php)
http://pastebin.com/m69816adc (in my v1.2 file, bp-mystuff.php)
my plugin is now loaded into wp-content/plugins/bp-mystuff
i’m still not able to get an icon to show up.

If you are asking about bbPress themes in general, then Google and you’ll see that there are a number of themes available for bbPress.
If you’re asking about specially customized BuddyPress-friendly bbPress themes, then the answer is as jjj points out above. With v1.0 of BuddyPress just released, theme designers are more than likely working hard at creating new, custom themes.
Once bbPress is publicly released in a stable version, I would imagine that some theme designers will create BuddyPress-friendly bbPress themes as well.
Remember, these are open source projects. The vast majority of the human resources poured into the community are done so for free. WordPress, BuddyPress, and bbPress all come with themes by default. It is up to the community to take those basic themes and create more flexible, powerful designs.
So, themes by default for bbpress are not present till now?
hi,
i have the latest WPMU with BP 1.0 installed? I can see the profile but in the column MY PROFILE i can only see Public, where i would expect Edit profile and change Avatar as well.
Now i also tried to following url’s directly in the browser
mydomain.com/members/admin/profile/edit
and mydomain.com/members/admin/profile/change-avatar
but i redirects to
mydomain.com/members/admin/profile/
Both files (i.e. change-avatar.php and edit.php) are uploaded in bp-themes/bp-member/profile/
To track per blog, there’s google analytics plugin for that which works on wpmu.
Generally those tracking codes should be inserted in the footer, before </body> tag. So you’ll need to add that js code to footer.php of your themes in use.
David, I guess pasting the JS code would work for the BP member theme (can anyone recommend where file and location to add the code for the default theme that comes with BP?) to track statistics for the community portion of the website.
What would we do to track statistics per user blog?
Of course! A huge thx to Andy as well! He’s any way like Santa! brings us all this lovely stuff which makes us happy 
Jep, added that correctly and the button/tap is shown.
function add_location_to_main_menu() {
$class = (bp_is_page(\'countries\')) ? \' class=\"selected\" \' : \'\';
echo \'<li \' . $class. \'><a href=\"\' . get_option(\'home\') . \'/countries\" title=\"\' . __( \'Countries\', \'buddypress\' ) .\'\">\' . __( \'Countries\', \'buddypress\' ) .\'</a></li>\';
}
add_action(\'bp_nav_items\',\'add_location_to_main_menu\');
My Problem in this case is that it doesn’t load the structure.css from the component when I open the component over this button. It works properly when get to the page over the sub navigation link.
(I’m using a customized home as well as a customized member theme. )
thx 4 ur help!

Have you included this code in your bbpress header.php theme?
<div id="search-login-bar">
<?php bp_search_form() ?>
<?php bp_login_bar() ?>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
Stephdau-
Are you using a customized theme? If so, have you tried switching to the standard BuddyPress themes to see if the issue goes away?
I’m having trouble identifying why in the skeleton theme the Blog, Group and Member directory pages include both the user and option bar navigation lists with their respective items “selected”… In the default member theme these menus don’t appear on the directory pages as one would expect with them not being actual member pages.
I’m sure I could write some logic around the userbar and optionbar calls but I figure there must be a cleaner approach being utilised in the default member theme… I just couldn’t find it.
In fact, I just figured out the problem.
I just went back and read the history.txt file myself. Well, guess what, this is a change Andy made just before he made v1.2 an official release. Ready?
Removed call to bp_example_add_activity_bullets_css() as will no longer work and is theme specific.

I have the bphome theme running, and am experiencing this problem (404 errors on *most* of the menu items).
It seems as though the home theme is working ok, except that it can’t connect to the member theme. I’ve already tried that trick where you switch to the other member theme & switch back — nothing has helped so far.
I dread having to ask our tech support to give us a clean install of WPMU — WP was working fine before (and WP is actually still working fine – it’s just the BP stuff that isn’t working!)
Same problem here, under wpmu 2.7.1, upgrading from bp rc2 to 1.0
Gordon–
Thanks for your help! I figured out what I was doing wrong. I had not replaced the logo image with the new one that I’d created, and so, of course, the old orange one was coming up instead. Isn’t it always the little stuff that trips us up?
All your advice helped me out a great deal. Thank you!
Kit
Phew! that was a lot easier than I thought! 
Modified the bphome theme to suit some custom requirements I had and its working a treat now!
Thanks for the help!
@andy
@burtadsit
could the patch that burt has made here.. https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/723 change the way that this bit of code works in my post-list.php in my theme.
<?php if ( bp_has_wire_posts( 'item_id=' . bp_wire_item_id() . '&can_post=' . bp_wire_can_post() ) ) : ?>
basically andy you offerd this as a fix but i am just wondering that now that the issues with the slugs in the core files that are fixed on groups wire now effect the way in which the wires post display on the profile side of things..
does tha make sense??
In other words i am try the fix the fact that the wire posts are not displaying on profile pages.
they were working perfectly before burt and i fixed the groups wire??
@KitWit,
That’s all I’ve done too.
I just changed base.css in the two directories, and copied my logo file over as logo.gif to both locations
base.css in
wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/css
and
wp-content/themes/bphome/css
and logo.gif in
wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/images
and
wp-content/themes/bphome/images
Then remember to flush the cache in your browser (F5 usually does it)
I also edited both header.php files as I wanted to change the link words from ‘blog’ to ‘News’
as @jfc said, you might need to select a member theme in Admin / BuddyPress / General Settings / Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages:
and then save.
Note: Since I was ‘updating’ from RC1 I had to select a different them and then re-save.

You’re right, switching to the default home theme solves my problem, however is there any modifications I can make to my custom theme to enable it to work?
Without knowing what you changed, and without seeing your files, it would be impossible to tell you what to change.
Your have two choices:
1. Compare your current themes to v1.2 of the Skeleton Theme and locate the differences. Then, change as appropriate.
2. Copy the standard BuddyPress themes, use them as your starting point, customize as desired.

I have not done much styling to the skeleton theme so working up form this wont be an issue.
Thanks

As Enlightenmental1 states, try switching to the standard BP themes. If the problem is solved, then the issue is with your themes.
Also, if you are still using v1.1 of the Skeleton Theme, you need to upgrade. There are important changes in v1.2. If your custom theme is based off of v1.1 of the skeleton, then look at v1.2, find the differences and change accordingly.
