Yeah, that is what I mean. If adding things like “embed” or “object” code scares you to death, you can always include something like Anarchy Media Player where you can include the javascript in the buddypress theme header and then it will parse the page for the plugin quickcode and display the media that way. That is a way some are already doing it with things like bbPress where the media plugin doesn’t exist yet.
Andy put a filter on the tags used in wire. It allows common HTML now, but with a plugin can also be used to change the allowed tags to anything you want. I am going to do this on an extremely private install, but thinking about Anarchy as well. Just haven’t had time.

the plot thickens…..
I moved this remove_function to the very bottom of functions.php thinking that might help…and it removed the admin bar from the bottom of the footer…..
HOWEVER….
It is now at the top of the webpage. I want it completely gone in this theme, available ONLY in the member theme.
Anyone know what I should do?

I thought the default theme was complete and ready it says 1.0b on the download page … same as all other components.
When I type my domain, nothing comes up as long as the mu-plugins directory is there. Once I delete it, I can see the WordPress blog (but then I don’t have the buddypress stuff and themes). I don’t know how to check the logs or how to turn on error reporting in Php
If you are getting blank screens you need to check your logs to see the errors. The likely cause is that you are using functions that no longer exist.
If you can find out which functions are in question, it will be quite easy to fix. This is the problem with creating new themes before the default theme is final unfortunately. Once the theme is 1.0, you won’t run into these problems.
I think it’s because of the new default theme. All the other components work fine.
I now have the BP beta 2 everything with the older version of the home theme, and it’s working. Although I haven’t yet tested it all completely.
Here is what happened to me…..
I was running 2.6 and I had made changes to the MU Default theme and it worked well. I then upgraded to 2.7 and simply replaced the Default Theme with the theme I had customized. Strangely though, even though the original default was completely erased and overwritten, it still appeared in its entirety when I selected it as the theme, despite the fact it had completely been customized. Only after renaming the theme did it function properly…well semi-properly. I am still experiencing quite a few issues with the WPMU 2.7 / BP Beta 2 combination. My issue was more WPMU related, but still a lot of strange occurrences.
i actually have that in my functions.php file in the theme I am using…. It is not working.
I have this code added to be exact:
remove_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’ );
remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘bp_core_add_css’ );
this no longer works…..what changed in BPB2???
its a scrambled looking BuddyPress Bar. I do not want this on my pages, except on the actual USER Profile Page (Member-theme). How do I kill the bar? Its showing up on all pages when logged in.
You can replace your navigation items in your theme with a new template tag: <?php bp_nav_items() ?>
Edit your theme’s CSS and add some styles to fix up the display.
Hey, Im also new here, as seems to be the usual. lol
Im just getting my site up and out of the water. Im working on getting a front theme setup, and Its proving to be a bit of a bastard. Im having alignment troubles, and formatting issues with the widgets in firefox.

thanks!
Your users’ blogs will get whatever template you have set as “default”, which is probably the BuddyPress Home Theme. So do this:
1) Rename the BuddyPress Home Theme something other than “default”.
2) In the dashboard for your main blog (admin), assign the BuddyPress theme to your blog. That’s what users will see when they visit your site, as your “blog” is the site.
3) Choose the theme you want your users to have as their default blog theme.
4) Name your chosen default blog theme “default”.
If you need additional info, let me know.

Just the member pages, groups, etc should get the buddypress theme. The actual blogs themselves will use whatever the “default” theme is setup for the WPMU installation that you have put buddypress on.

Hey had the same problem but here’s how to fix it.
1. Under wp-content create a folder called member-themes
2. Upload the required member theme there (not to the folder labled themes).
3. Enjoy

“In /mu-plugins/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-widgets.php line 47 is: <?php $counter++; ?>
Comment that out and you’ll get the excerpt for all the posts instead of just the first one.”
I’ve tried this in the latest release and it doesn’t work anymore. I’m trying to have more than one recent blog post listed in the Recent Blog Posts widget using BP Home Theme.
Any ideas?
lol I found it
It’s under settings/reading/ front page display…
Somehow I must have changed that at some point.
I’m sure someone may find this helpful as it was a bugger to track down
From the readme.txt in /buddypress-themes:
2. Move the /member-themes/ directory into /wp-content/member-themes/
If you look at your member page as well, the letters and placement of things on the page are not the same as the default theme, so I would start comparing the CSS of your theme versus that of the original. That is all I can recommend.

That is Buddypress Home theme (modified)…but even so, the drop down menu, verification and about me box is missing on my page. Hmmmmm….
Not a widget as you are using your own theme. You might just be missing the CSS that would be required to make it look nice in your theme 
The fun of running a custom theme I guess
Trent
should I have the theme installed somewhere else?
Pretty simple really:
1) Make a backup of your DB just in case you change your mind.
2) Remove anything that has prefix of bp in your /mu-plugins/ folder
3) Delete the folder /wp-content/member-themes/
4) Delete the folder /wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/
5) Delete any tables in your DB that start with the prefix bp
6) Delete the tables that are in format of wp_user_X_activity ….. Not wp_users, just those specific to BP
7) Change your main WPMU blog to use a different theme
Be prepared for hits to non-existent information if you have been hit by search engines
Really, it is just reversing what you did in the installation process. Making backups before and after are really important as you don’t want to make a mistake. It is also good practice to tell your members that you are doing it since they might have issue with the changes, or at least need to be notified.
Hope that helps.

I DID it but still have stuff in my DB and the template in wp_content/themes. Now everytime i add a new blog it shows a blank page because no template is choosen. When i switch de BP Template off in the admin the other Templates disapear too!
