I’m just an ordinary user with no technical knowledge and I got this site started – http://petnetwork.ws . It’s using the standard theme and I guess it just fits the site’s content, I guess.
Hi,
I have installed this and acivated it and looks good on the members pages but on the sites homepage it shows the default wpmu page my site is http://www.ourlordsblogs.com
Well, it’s working for me with custom permalinks.
Would someone having this problem confirm their version of WPMU, BP and whether they are using a subdomain or subfolder install please? You need to be testing this with the default theme without any changes, and without any plugins, widgets or addons that are not part of the base WPMU and BP install.
It will be great if you can put this theme as the default theme for built-in bbpress under buddypress.
ok, works great in firefox on windows but in in IE8 the button is shifted upwards on home theme and on buddypress fb theme it is moved out of visibility.

You have to edit the header.php file in the theme you are using. In the home theme the links start at line #45 in the <ul id="nav"> ... </ul> block of html. There is a similar block of navigation items in the member theme.
Exactly what images are you talking about famous? Member theme, home theme or admin bar? The size of the logo images isn’t tied to font size as far as I can tell. Get firebug and take a look at what *is* controlling that.

I don’t think that this theme is available for download anywhere. It looks to me like the standard bbpress theme with a custom header and footer.
okay. re tried upgrading by downloading the one on the download page. is that the latest or do i have to get the one on svn (frankly i dont know how to get the one on svn, download one by one? LOL)
i overwrote the existing files there on MU plugins. also overwrote the home theme and member theme. cant get to the apache error log (http 500 internal server error?) because im not really sure where that is on my cpanel. 
the result is still white screen. 
@burt he said the search-login, not the bp adminbar (aka buddybar)
For that you could use the bb functions that shows if a user is logged in and show his avatar
anyway look at the default theme

Thanks for the response, the bp version is not RC1, it is 1.0, I am pretty sure that’s not the same thing but it may be.
I have a very unique group of bloggers and I want to continue to attract folks from this group so I have modified many of the core files that are part of the upgrades to 2.7 and RC1 I probably broke this with one of those mods but I can’t understand how or why. I have too many features with too many hours to risk losing them all… I was hoping maybe someone had seen this.
For instance when you click to go to a blog this line:
<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>
will return the stylesheet_url of the page you are leaving not the one that called it from that theme’s header file.
if I just manually type in the URL and hit enter it loads just fine, I have tracked it to one of these site variables from either do_action or apply_filters:
do_action:
$wp_filter, $wp_actions, $merged_filters, $wp_current_filter;
apply_filters:
$wp_filter, $merged_filters, $wp_current_filter;
I’ll have to do some more digging I suppose,
I want to add
Home
Blog
Members
Groups
Blogs
in the admin bar on members theme to replace these in the original layout. what’s the code to do it?
Disable the home theme from the admin panel. Then, go into the Blogs panel, find your main blog listed, click ‘edit’ and you can get it to use any theme (regardless or not of the other permission setting).
It must be because you are running an older version of BP alunsina. Sign up goes to the registration form. What happens when you upgrade BP? White screen of death? There have been lots of changes recently including changes to the directory structure for the member themes. See: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1675
That was effective rev 1211. Make sure you update the member and home themes also. Lots of changes in the security area from wpmu 2.6 to 2.7.
When you upgrade to the latest bp what do the apache error logs say? That’s the only way to find out what is going wrong. White screen of death means that a fatal php error is happening.
Nice move Andy. I had a hard time getting my head around the purpose of Member Themes, and after reading Using the BuddyPress Themes on the Codex and now this change has been made, it makes more sense.
Thank you very much for being so kind and for your interest to tell me all the solutions.But if i will use openx, i will be able to use it for all the blogs they will be registered?If yes,can you tell me in big lines how can i do that if i have several templates for the users to choose from?
I m also wondering what is the best template to use for home theme?
Thanks Nicola
I remember reading that somewhere but it doesn’t effect me. Thanks for the heads up though…
I think I might just have to reinstall and start clean. I have other sandbox issues that I can take care of at the same time.
if you’re using svn, bp themes have a new directory!
it’s not wp-content/member-themes it is wp-content/bp-themes

Just didn’t know if there was anything that would need to be removed for performance reasons.
Very Cool Website. Nice theme and everything. Best of luck. It’s a neat concept. Just like what cable tv did to the major networks, these types of sites will do to the big blog worlds. It will get much more niche and specialized.
I’m not sure what you mean by “concerned with”, but I don’t see any reason why you can’t just use the high-five code from there if you find it useful.
Thanks for this Andy, it really helps. I started integrating my custom pages into this skeleton component yesterday. I noticed there is a good bit of functionality in it for the “high fives”. If I convert this to mine, is there any functionality that I should be concerned with that I need to remove?
Family website, default theme, installed a few hours ago. Not much to it yet but the potential has me starry eyed: http://jemisonfamily.net
RC1 is ‘member-themes’ latest trunk is ‘bp-themes’
Seems like you need to re-upload bp. You didn’t get everything.
If you’re using RC1 that’s wrong
From: 'wp-content/mu-plugins/buddypress-theme/member-themes/buddypress-member/'
To: 'wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/
you’ve to copy bp-themes in /wp-content/bp-themes
