I don’t foresee any major issues with it. Previously when the admin area was being modified it would have been a much bigger deal. Now that everything is in the theme, and the admin area is mostly left untouched, it shouldn’t be much of a problem.
Looks like everything but the permissions is working. Basically you need to
chmod 755 wp-content/themes/buddypress-home
chmod 755 wp-content/themes/buddypress-member
Ok, I’m back to the BuddyPress Home theme 0.4 so you can look (spirituallymodified.com) and it’s just a garbled mess. The theme is there but, I don’t know, it’s not being rendered correctly. I’m no expert so I’m not sure what’s causing this problem.
Since you asked in another place, Burt, MU installed great and worked as it should. I made sure to check it out before installing BP. Sorry but no cup of coffee for either of you gents, yet. 
Yes, any theme you use with BuddyPress will need a plugin-sidebar.php and plugin-template.php file. It’s used to add dynamic functionality and new pages to the theme without having to drop in new template files. The settings menu and pages are examples of this.
I take a look at why it is requiring a home.php, this shouldn’t be happening.
The post you were referring to is: http://chriscarter.testbp.org/2008/11/07/mu-works-but-bp-isnt/
Custom theme, seems to be working for me.

Check out dsader’s privacy plugin at wpmudev.org. He did it in that.
I use a custom theme and have the same issue

Thanks Andy. I’ll play with the SVN stuff. I’ve just gotten into bp hot and heavy since you pointed out the errors of my ways when it came to me *not* having to run the bp home theme in the wpmu root blog. Got me kinda excited, ya did. Yah.
Never really worked in a team programming environment. I never had the opportunity. So I have no experience with SVN but I will within an hour. Thanks. I *was* gonna get some sleep. 
Tally-ho.
(what the hell does that mean?)
So here here we go. Trunk 509.
Running my theme:
Going to a specific group from member bar gets WSOD.
Creating a new group gets me a 404
Running bp home theme:
Going to a specific group gets the group home pg.
Creating a new group gets me back to the bp home theme.
I just noticed that the URL up at the FF bar says mysite.org/groups when done creating a new group. Shouldn’t we go to the new group home page after creation? How come we aren’t going to mysite.org/groups/myfancynewgroup ? or /members/admin/groups or /members/admin/my-groups (which gets ya to the same place) ?
Goin’ to /groups is gonna get me a 404 in my theme. 404.php in the bp home theme is not being launched when invoking /groups. 404 is being launched in the bp home theme cause I just tried /gibberish and it gets me a 404 msg.
I’m too tired to look at bp-catchuri.php to find out why.
Ok the saga continues. I turned on the bp home theme and now I see that I don’t have any members. Am I not a member? I can play in my profile. I created a new wpmu blog under a new username ‘becky’. becky can edit her profile but her blog doesn’t show up under ‘my blogs’. This is driving me nuts.
becky can create a blog through bp and it shows up in ‘my blogs’. Let me guess. I’m missing something. Am I the only one who doesn’t get this bp behavior? becky is the admin of both blogs in wpmu. wpmu is happy with becky.
Since becky created a blog through bp, bp is now happy with becky. She’s a member now in the listing.
I created a blog as admin in wpmu. My new wpmu created blog shows up in ‘my-blogs’ but becky’s didn’t. bp still doesn’t seem to think I’m a member even though it likes my newly created wpmu blog.
(sigh)
On another note if I try to access mysite.org/members I get a little notification screen that tells me I need to put plugin-template.php and plugin-sidebar.php into my theme dir. I found these in the buddypress-home dir. Putting these in the appropriate theme folder gets rid of the error msg but doesn’t get me anything.
All I get is a wp page with the permalink mysite.org/membership
Once again, changing my permalink from mysite.org/membership to ‘registering-and-membership’ solves the prob. Now I get the member directory wonderfully sandwiched between my theme header and footer. However, it still says 404 in the FF tab and no actual members are listed. I get the abc’s, search box and a h2 Members title header. Nothing else. I’m gonna turn on the bp home theme and see what havoc I can cause with that.
Is this a blown regex in wpmu .htaccess rewrite rules or bp hijacking behavior? I haven’t modded the .htaccess rewrite rules at all. It’s exactly what wpmu installs.
Glad you showed up so early?
There is something flaky going on with the bp URI hijacking. I had a page with the permalink http://ourcommoninterest.org/groups
Installed bp trunk 504 and when I select Groups from the member dropdown or from the bp member theme selection Groups, which is http://ourcommoninterest.org/members/admin/groups
Selecting either of those gets my Groups page in wpmu. Changing the page permalink to something else solves this.
Hmm….never really thought about that since I was thinking any plugin would apply to all the themes, but using the right template calls if the statements would work really well wouldn’t it. Thanks for the tip Ron. Usually the simplest solution is right in front of you

You could write a small plugin that used the login_head action. You could put something on the querystring that the plugin would looks for.
Check the permissions on your theme directories they should be 755
I just downloaded a fresh copy of WPMU 2.6.3, the latest BuddyPress trunk and did a fresh subdirectory installation. It all worked fine, no missing function errors.
Are you absolutely sure you have all the latest files and everything installed correctly via the readme? This includes the latest themes – you MUST update the themes too.
yea did that but it just shows site with out stylesheet
Only activate the home theme for the main blog, you don’t need to activate the member theme.
TO resolve this all you should have to do is create a copy of your index.php file, rename it home.php, and upload it to your theme folder and it should work.
I had the same issue when upgrading last night. I think BuddyPress requires there to be a home.php file and once you do what I outlined above everything should be normal.
Andy posted here asking for help with fixing the IE6/7 problems with the Buddypress themes.
TestBP is using the new home theme that is part of the BuddyPress install. The items, account, groups, etc, are all widgets that you can place wherever you need them.
my mistake was that i uploaded all files in plugin directory .. i forgot to put the theme in the themes directory.. once you do that, the current theme of buddypress shows up..
regardless, even after that there are bugs like https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=141 and https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=97 which need to be sorted out
Now i dont understand whats wrong but if you see http://www.mcas.in then the whole code has a lot of bugs
EG : When you click on add as friend .. you get error

Just for the sake of being positive I have deleted and re-uploaded the themes from trunk 462 and there is no change? I just don’t understand.
I’m not using the home theme either, although I do have it in the proper folder. Have you replaced all the files with the latest from the trunk?
