Actually, no, the issue is there with the default bp-member theme as well. I’ve tried it with both the default and my own customization of the same. For whatever reason, all of the entries in my profile fields are hotlinked.
See: http://blogpei.com/members/admin/
Thx
@natscrim: Check out “download zip” instead of clicking on the link ; because the link is pointing to the RC1 version while the “download zip” link is pointing to the right link.
yeah, it’s bug https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/691 if anyone has anything to contribute
Thanks, Nicola,
Yes, I removed the plugin and upgraded to 2.7.1 — but… after I reinstalled RC-2 for second time and got the blank preview, I didn’t go further, assuming it would be the same as before. I just tried it, and it works!
Thanks, again.
Nat
have you removed bp plugin in mu-plugins and updated to wpmu 2.7.1 ?
Natscrim – the preview thing is a known issue. I have spent about three hours investigating it with jjj and not getting anywhere. I have made a ticket on trac.
But, for me, even though the preview was blank, the theme worked on the homepage.
So the problem is in your custom theme then? It’s a tricky nuggest but read through https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2298.
I just reinstalled RC-2, following all the instructions with the same result: a blank screen in the themes preview, and if I choose this blank window, I get a home blog without any theme at all. Perplexed.
Update: This issue was on my end. I’ve customized the bp-member theme and found part of the problem (new profile groups not showing up) but the entries in those fields continue to be hotlinked. When clicked, they all go to the member directory.
Cheers
Yep the admin bar is there! On the homepage (FreshNews) and members page (Standard BP Member theme) the only link under my account is log out and the rest of the drop downs work perfectly. And everything works great when playing around in the dashboard including my account.
@Dbascent94: I’ve got the same problem, no preview is given just “activate”.
Although the themes -are- activated, because I see the standard buddypress theme is activated.
If I could only get rid of all those 404 errors on the normal buddypress functions ..
I deleted everything related to BuddyPress (plugins/themes) and reinstalled from the “add plugin” admin.
A few things I have noticed. When activating the BuddyPress home theme, no preview is given when after selecting the theme and before clicking the “activate theme” button.
Also, nothing is being written to the sitewide activity table from the groups plugin.
This thing is not buddypress, so it should be posted on wpmu forum. n/w, I see everything properly on 2.7.1 and rc2.
Control themes here: ursite/wp-admin/wpmu-themes.php
bp-themes/buddypress-member/css/directories.css Look for #letter-list
I was running WordPress MU 2.7 before and have been manually upgrading ..
bp-themes contains the original buddypress RC2 theme.
Tried to update via SiteAdmin Upgdare> Automatically Upgrade.
Since then rm-rf bp-* from mu-plugins, deleting old themes member and home from themes/ folder.
Unzipped all from bp-rc2 in to plugins/buddypress/ folder without bp-themes/.
Moved bp-themes/ from zip to wp-content/
now is:
# ls wp-content/bp-themes /
buddypress-member readme.txt
Moved bp-themes/buddypress-home / to wp-content/themes/buddypress-home /
now is:
# ls wp-content/themes /
buddypress-home classic default home
# grep SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE wp-config.php
define ( \’SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE\’, 1);
Uncommented and active.
Try deleting all plugins from the mu-plugins and plugins directory
Leaving only the plugins/buddypress
No result.
I decided to keep the logo. Never mind.
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!
I just reinstalled BuddyPress and switched everything to the BuddyPress supplied themes. I am seeing the group wire posts in the groups but anything posted to the groups is still not showing up in the Site Wide Activity widget.
I have deactivated all plugins minus BuddyPress.
Michael,
Where did you go wrong on your first attempt at upgrading? Maybe I made a similar mistake?
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.
1. Which versions of WPMU and BuddyPress are you running? WMU 2.7.1 – The latest BP, just downloaded it yesterday.
2. You say that you were \”beginning to alter the colors\”. I assume you\’re using the default BuddyPress themes and you only worked with the CSS files. Is that true? Or, did you make changes to some of the php files as well? I added some copywrite info to the footer.php – but other then that I only touched the css of the default template.
3. Are you running this on localhost or a remote site? Remote site, IPower.com.
Does that help? Thanks a bunch.
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
