The buddypress member theme is located in:
/wp-content/themes/member-themes/buddypress-member/
It isn’t finding the member theme. Do you have the it installed in wp-content/ and not in wp-content/themes/ for the actual member-themes folder?

Sorry, only added half the information.
Both installations are the standard installations with no mods and the BP home is the default theme.
The link to the site (very early stages) is
http://www.tatmag.co.uk
Thanks!
bp version? wpmu version? Any custom mods to bp or wpmu code? What blog is the home theme running on? Link to your site? Some details would be helpful.
What templates? The blog themes on testbp.org? If so then you can get them at: http://svn.automattic.com/wpcom-themes
I think they come from there.
The ‘news’ button in the home theme displays the blog posts of whatever blog it’s installed on.
Can you add this to http://trac.buddypress.org as an enhancement?
There is probably a filter on the_author_posts_link() that you can use to replace the link.
I’ve been working on https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/290
No luck so far. I thought I found the offending location, but I’m not sure now. Can you verify?
wp-content/themes/buddpress-home/css/base.css
wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/activity/activity-list.php
Lets try and see what’s common here. You both have:
– Subdirectory installs of mu.
– You both are running the bp home theme on blog id 1.
– Attempts to run ‘members’, ‘news’, ‘groups’ or ‘blogs’ in the member or home theme results in a redirect to wp-signup.php.
– You have the latest trunk versions of wpmu 2.7 and bp.
Is this correct?
How about some links to your sites that we can look at and reproduce the problem.
no it has nothing to do with the theme but with the bp-core plugin itself… its calling up wrong paths as far as im concerned.. wait ill update with today’s svn and check..
No, that’s not it. I’ve just replaced the themes in trunk from today with the themes from trunk a couple of weeks ago which are working on my other install and I get the same problems.
Well, I’m glad someone else has seen this. I don’t see this though:
the member-theme selection in the buddy press options(sitewide admin) shows themes from my themese directory(the buddypresshome and other standard wpmu themes) instead of showing the buddypress-members theme.
It’s got to be something in the theme though because I’m running another install using trunk for everything except the themes and it’s running fine.
o and i think i have found the cause of the problem.. the member-theme selection in the buddy press options(sitewide admin) shows themes from my themese directory(the buddypresshome and other standard wpmu themes) instead of showing the buddypress-members theme. iv been checking the code and well i cant really place my finger on it..
function bp_core_get_member_themes() {
add_filter( 'theme_root', 'bp_core_set_member_theme_root' );
$themes = get_themes();
if ( $themes ) {
foreach ( $themes as $name => $values ) {
$member_themes[] = array(
'name' => $name,
'template' => $values
);
}
}
return $member_themes;
}
function bp_core_set_member_theme_root() {
return WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/member-themes';
}
function bp_core_set_member_theme_root_uri() {
return WP_CONTENT_URL . '/member-themes';
}
Everything is fresh from SVN trunk about two hours ago. No plugins, no themes, new DB. I tested WPMU with a new blog and edited a post, then installed the BP plugins and themes. It’s as if WPMU doesn’t recognise it’s there.
For example:
http://example.com/wpmu shows the BuddyPress Home page
http://example.com/wpmu/testblog shows the initial test blog
http://example.com/wpmu/members
http://example.com/wpmu/news
http://example.com/wpmu/groups – WPMU is treating these like normal and when not finding anything at the URL, is re-directing to wp-signup.php
i.e. http://example.com/wpmu/wp-signup.php?new=wpmunews
It should work in a subdirectory just fine, I tested this again today.
What version are you running of WPMU? Are you using the trunk of BP?
Any plugins? Using default themes?
I’d like to know this also.
Surely someone has an answer to this question? How are WPMU users linking author or member links in posts from their non-buddypress home theme to the profile page in the Buddypress member theme?
Cheers
The forum line was removed because it was not implemented, it may reappear if theme support for a global forum is added.
You can easily add this back into a plugin:
function add_forum_link() {
echo '<a href="' . site_url('forums') . '">Forums</a>';
}
add_action( 'bp_nav_items', 'add_forum_link' );
I’ll investigate the settings not showing, the changes made should not affect that.
Defiantly,
I have already skinned up a members theme, home theme and a host of blog themes for my users.
Its not hard at all, infact just like normal wordpress themes so expect to see a load available soon.
One thing i wish was easier was controlling the page names / urls buddy press assigns as default.
I have manually changed all references but when i upgrade my changes will be reversed 
I would use my custom home theme and it would be nice to have more member themes for BP?
custom themes sure! for home theme,
for member theme.. customize that too!
