Thanks for the reply much appreciated.
1& 2 all clear work that out
3) If you already have users blogging on WPMU, BuddyPress will detect these user’s blogs (I’m quite sure BP detects them!). BP groups and forums build off of WPMU’s userbase; groups being a BP thing and forums being a BP/bbPress thing. So when you install BP, your users will have to configure their groups and forums from scratch.
Could you clarify this a bit more?
5) BuddyPress does indeed utilize bbPress for forum functionality. The next buddypress when does it get released?
Is there some documanation on bbpress + wpmu + buddypresS? I once did a regular wordpress and bbpress integration but could not find a simple way to integrate the bbpress forums in a wordpress page or match there layouts
Great thanks! going to look into this today
I LOVE this website : http://pro.gigaom.com/
Could not believe it runs on wordpress first time, what a pro theme indeed.
It has very nice user registration without any of the wp-login.php and wp-signup.php files.
How would one create such registration? Is there a plugin or do I have to custom code ( IM php dev, so that would be no problem) The only thing I could think of is copy the wp-login.php and signup.php and rename them, then recode them to use different templates and the way I would like, like the way on pro.gigaom.com
Hi Everyone. Im considering BuddyPress with WPMU to build a sort of community but then in a little different setup than normal, therefore I have some questions I could not find answered yet:
1) Say mysite.com runs on WPMU and i have several (WPMU generated blogs) Could I register from any of those blogs and get a “global” account. With, I would be aple to comment on any blogposts from ANY blog that runs from my WPMU installation?
2) Say mysite.com runs some introduction to what my site does and i do not want the /members directory to popup there would that be possible?
3) How and where do these “groups” “Forums” and “Blogs” are generated? I have several blogs created true the WPMU interface, does buddypress link to them automatically?
4) I dont want any users to create blogs, they can only upload avatar and post comments on any of the wpmu sites. Is that possible? Since the admin creates all the blogs, the users can only communicate on the site.
5) Last but not least, Im looking for some forum functionality… I was hoping buddypress would have the forum like this one ( Which is bbpress i assume?) I would like to have a blog with categories like this one, the buddypress only seems to be able to post a topic without any categories, is that correct? I need a forum like this one for EACH blog I have, they should be seperated but they should all share the same user login so it would be possible for a visitor to post on any forum that runs true my wpmu installation
6) Well, really finally: Would it be possible to have a list of all blogs generated and place them on a wordpress page?
Those are the questions that are hunting me for several days now,
I hope above is possible than that would be great!
I have “WordPress Failure Notice” error you are getting, webatease with BP v1.0.3. I haven’t spent any time investigating it further yet tho.

Ok so i have installed:
Mu wordpress (latest release: 2.8.2
Buddypress 1.0.3
I have followed the install to the letter on both MU wordpress and Buddypress but i have the following problem. I get error 404’s on all pages from the home page. The home page displays but no links work at all.
Interestingly only one theme will actually work with this installation as well, the others show white screens of death. (other themes that come bundled with buddypress).
So i am left with http://www.pricethat.co.uk and nothing more, i am sure it is some kind of mod_rewrite issue or something to do with the .htaccess but i cant imagine what, having checked that mod_rewrite is working fine etc.
Could anyone help me, i am at my wits end and have been sat here all day trying to work out what it is. I see a few people have had this very same problem with error 404’s but no one has actually documented any kind of solution to it.
Yeah, r-a-y’s spot on. I’m going to close this thread as it’s very old.

Though I should note that this plugin has absolutely nothing to do with the original poster’s question!
It is extremely handy for setting up what you want for new blog defaults though.
@Pr102
I know this topic is old, but if you’re talking about when you post a comment on a blog, that your name should link to your BP profile… this is possible via this plugin:

@ Hyrxx
I can’t seem to find it. Remember any other details?
I have a wordpress-mu theme operating on a customized theme. I am new to buddypress. I have it all installed and now I want to make one of my wordpress-mu subpages the main page for the buddypress home. I thought about renaming the subpage to “members” but that isn’t exactly the home for the social networking. How do I get my buddypress theme index.php to show up on my mydomain.com/subpage URL?
I am getting the emails appropriately, but when I click on the link to approve/accept the group add, it gives me a website with “WordPress Failure Notice” at the browser title, and it asks “Are you sure you want to do this?” But it has no option for me to select yes, or check anything to actually approve. So this is still in the queue.
Similarly, I cannot reject the request – and if I click on the link in the email that says to view the request, it takes me to the user’s profile – but the request is not listed. In fact, in his of groups, it lists (1) as the number of groups (assuming because he requested), but then underneath it says he “hasn’t joined any groups yet.”
Okay! I got this after a lot of bug searching. I didn’t have the right adress between the css-file and images.
This is resolved and you may delete this thread.

Hi everybody,
I am getting this Error in my general activity Rss Feed :
Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in …/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-templatetags.php on line 355
I saw the same problem in this post
http://buddypress.org/forums/topic/getting-rss-error#post-13676
but the solution doesn’t work for me
PS : i’m running PHP5 and i’m using WordPress MU 2.7.1. + buddypress 1.0.1
Does anyone met the same problem ?
THANKS for your help !
I don’t think i find the widgets useful for my website. The idea is great, and the outcome too. But i just want to set some default ‘boxes’ with content on my frontpage.
The member and groups widgets are fine, they do the job. But i don’t want them to be a widget. I just want to include them in my template file instead of choosing it first as a widget.
Like I said in my first post – i want to add a php include thingy to add different type of boxes (widgets). So that users can’t choose their homepage layout theirselves.
PS. im known with basic PHP and i understand and can work with the wordpress template files or create them by myself
You could do it, but it is no five minute job, as you’d have to learn of a WordPress theme template works and add the code of the widgets to the code of the theme you are using. This means you pretty much have to learn PHP. Do you know PHP?
May I ask why you don’t want to use the widgets?
I also think this will be great!
Doing more research I found the following thread in the wp-forum:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/273413?replies=2:

Mippe: P2 brokes äÄ öÖ åÅ letters when editing. That pretty much sums it all up.
noel (Administrator): We’re aware of the issue and will fixing this in the next release.
But I am still unsure: This problem then occurs only with WordPress MU?
Hello Mates, I know I went M.i.A for a while.
but I wanted to say thanks for the good responses
before it got way too late.
I got focused into developing our BP site
and have been searching through the forums
for all kinds of questions and possibilities.
I’m sure I’ll be posting about them soon.
But for this, I think we’ll start working with group / blog mods first
and try out the multi-site url solutions.
The BP integration still seems like an interesting challenge
especially as the single wordpress BP installs come into play.
John if you have more details about the functions.php solution,
please contact me.
and if there are any other ideas about this,
or possible plugin solutions,
I’d love to hear them.
Sincerely,
– Jeff –

I deactivated the BP-plugin. Problem remains. So it’s probably an issue with WordPress MU and the P2-theme?!
Try removing or disabling BuddyPress. Does this problem still occur on WordPress MU?
Hello!
I have Buddypress 1.0.3 (German) running in WordPress MU 2.8.2 (German) and use the cool P2-Theme (Prologue, german language file), which permits frontend editing and resemblesTwitter. However I experience the problem that with the frontend editing in posts and comments existing umlauts get distorted when the editor field is loaded and opened: Ex.: ä becomes ä, ü becomes à ¼, ö becomes ö and ß becomes ß…
This remains when the edited text ist saved again. I can however enter and store new umlauts in the editor correctly – the issue concerns in each case only the umlauts transferred from the stored text to the editor. Under WordPress 2.8.3 the P2-theme on the same server runs without any problems. Both installations run under UTF-8 encoding. I don’t know what to check or do?!? Does anyone have any idea how this could be fixed? Thanks a lot in advance!
For #1, use Justin Tadlock’s Get The Image plugin in a loop. Or to make things easier, use Tadlock’s query_posts widget with Get The Image to easily define which posts to display. The Get The Image plugin does not cache the images though.
If you’re looking for image resizing / caching, try TimThumb from darrenhoyt.com… although I never have been able to get that working on WP.
For #2, there’s two plugins that I know of.
First one is The WordPress Bar. The second one is Pretty Link. It will not integrate with the BP bar… it will add another bar for external pages.
For #3, you’ll have to get creative with the xprofile fields. I have something setup with a BP install I’m working on, which manipulates the BP profile loop and uses CSS manipulation to display the social badges.
Hello all.. I need some tips to start in right direction for the following instances. I want to implement the following things in my home theme.
1.Extracting the recent blog posts accross my wpmu/buddypress website with thumbnails sof the first image in the post. I have read an article about caching first image of post in wordpress but need some help for mu version.
2.I dont know have it been asked before or not, but is there any plugin that can make my buddypress admin bar work for external link just like a digg bar.
3.Helps in adding blogger, wordpress and other blogs /(external) blogs to the member fields, as seen in flokka.com
Thanks for ur help
yes, full integration… I’ve noticed however that it creates a SECOND account if the member already has one, so it’s either log in with Twitter credentials, or with WordPress credentials…. site seems to consider them as separate accounts.
I explain this to my users at http://outgaylife.com/wp-login.php
