could someone give instructions on how to install?

i put home theme in themes directory

and member themes in member-themes directory

then activated home theme.

facebuddy home theme is loading, but i get default buddypress member theme.

do i have to activate member theme?

any suggestions?

I have the same problem and i fallowed the exact instructions.When i select the theme from the admin it doesn’t show up.I see the default theme for bddypress.

@sha_munira explain better your problem..

what does not work? how did you installed it?

member theme doest work…please help

I would try activating default Buddypress theme and see if the issue still occurs so that you can be sure it is not an issue with your theme…

You should extend the deadline Daniel. With the downtime and people only really finding out about this in the last week, it’s not long enough to think about, design and build a decent theme. Just my 2 cents.

You should think of a home theme as just a standard WordPress blog theme. It is no different other than a few new files to handle directories.

A member theme is a “BuddyPress” theme, and should probably be called that.

You should treat them as two entirely different themes, your WordPress theme should have the styles and images for just the WordPress parts and your BuddyPress theme should have the styles and images for just the BuddyPress parts.

You could of course still provide the two themes in one download package, but they should still work independently. It’s not a good idea at all to make the themes dependent on one another. Someone may want to use your member theme but keep their own blog theme.

I’ll be writing more docs on this soon.

This is a theme problem. You seem to have solved that issue. You have another fatal error when viewing the blogs directory:

Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /home/ladsmy/public_html/community/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-core.php on line 930

If you temporarily switch to the standard bp home theme does this happen? If your problems go away by switching to the bp home theme then you need to contact your theme’s author.

if it’s only a css you could make it as a plugin

I’m posting from my blackberry so someone can confirm, but I think Andy is saying that the functions.php in the BuddyPress Home theme is what hijacks the url and makes this happen? If I remember correctly? Sorry don’t have the source in front of me at the moment…

This is a server or config issue. Not a bp issue.

People let me say this clearly: BP DOES NOT CHANGE THE PERMALINK STRUCTURE OF ANY BLOG!

There is no instance of the global object $wp_rewrite in any bp code or any call to $wp_rewrite->set_permalink_structure()

Not in the member theme, not in the home theme and not in any bp plugin.

bp is not changing the permalink structure. The only thing bp does is hijack the word ‘blog’ and load the index.php template. That’s it.

@pietro28, what version of bp and wpmu are you using? Did you install wpmu in the directory mysite.com/blog ?

I hope I Make the deadline..

Just a sneak peak

OH and to separate it from your “pages” list, just add an exclusion of that page on the widget for pages.

You’re in luck I just had to do this myself, and here is how I did it.

I created a new php file that I wanted to use for the page and added this to the top of the file:

<?php

/*

Template Name: MY_TEMPLATE_NAME

*/

?>

you can make, MY_TEMPLATE_NAME, whatever, but be careful there are some reserved template names.

Save this file in the root directory of your home theme (i.e. wp-content/themes/buddypress-home) now under your admin blog write a new page (NOT POST), make the title relevant to what you want, but don’t put anything in the actual page.

Scroll down to the “Page Template” menu and when expanded you should see a drop down box with the “MY_TEMPLATE_NAME” as an option. choose that and now just copy down your permalink, and that is the direct link to your newly created page. SIMPLE! I also added in my side_bar to the page I created so that the navigation menu stayed put as I move through all of my pages.
