Yeah, Jeremiah. That’s how it happens.
John, WordPress MU (2.7.1) is working fine. It’s when I upload BuddyPress (1.0.2) that i get the error. My admin panel, the public blog, everything becomes Error 500 in the browser once I upload the files.
I can still see everything fine in the ftp explorer [Filezilla]
Step 1 – Download latest version of WordPress MU (2.7.1)
Step 2 – install on server and verify it is working
Step 3 – Download latest version of BuddyPress (1.0.2)
Step 4 – copy to the plugins directory
Result
Error 500 on all pages
Kunal17, you could potentially use the PHP Code Widget Plugin by Otto to paste that PHP snippet by Milan in there.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/
I am getting a server error 500 every time I try to upload BuddyPress 1.0.2.
I uploaded buddypress 1.0.2 to the plugins folder – result = error 500
I installed buddypress 1.0.2 from the plugins panel – result = error 500
This is on a fresh WordPress mu 2.7.1 installation.
What am i doing wrong?
I am fairly confident there is a site wide tags plugin for MU that allows this.
Search the wordpress.org plugin area for “site wide tags” and see what you get.
(Normally I’d give a better answer but I’m posting from my BlackBerry.)
I want to display all tags(contain the tags in the blogs) in one pag or widget.
the default tags cloud just display tags in main blog,
is there any plugin or method to do this?
I try “WordPress MU Sitewide Tags Pages” but it just show posts.
http://en.wordpress.com/tags/ this is the result I want!
I just finished doing the swahili translation but so far I haven’t found a valid “translation document”. All I get is the wordpress translation file.
My question: How do I get buddypress to pick up the swahili files before I make them public ?
@gwsa
where do you host your site? Just in case other bp users face the same nightmare when choosing the host…
I’ve never seen this problem, my install just works properly. Make sure you disable all other plugins but bp when solving this problem.
gwsa – because this is not a BuddyPress bug. It’s something to do with your setup, hence the reason no one else has had the problem.
Are you sure you don’t have any crazy re-write rules or symlinks for your themes folder?
Also tried upping to 1.0.2. No fix.
Burt,
With BP Deactivated:
Site Admin -> Themes, 7 Installed, 4 Active (all WP Themes)
Appearance -> Themes, 4 to choose from
As soon as I activate BP:
Site Admin -> Themes, 3 Installed, 0 active (all BP Themes)
Appearance -> Themes, ZERO to choose from
Doug-
I can’t speak to the reason why the CSS was implemented this way, but it may have something to do with the fact that bphome is a default theme which can be replaced with any WordPress theme with a few tweaks here and there. So it follows the standard WP theming protocol.
The bpmember theme, on the other hand, is unique to the BuddyPress world. As I’m sure you know, you cannot take a standard WP theme and tweak it into a custom BP member theme. Andy created the CSS coding protocols from scratch for BuddyPress member themes. Andy can speak to this more directly–and correct me if my assumptions are wrong!
I could see a lot of value in pulling all of the color values & branding (logo) out of base.css and into branding.css
I like this idea a lot!
I don’t have any memory errors but I keep getting this error.
[25-Jun-2009 07:05:35] WordPress database error Table ‘pb1285n_sims3legacy.wp_98_options’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT * FROM wp_98_options WHERE option_name = ‘blogname’ made by require, require_once, do_action, call_user_func_array, bp_core_do_catch_uri, load_template, require_once, load_template, require_once, bp_the_site_blog_name, bp_get_the_site_blog_name, get_blog_option
Any idea? Thanks
gwsa, you don’t have access to the wp themes? Site Admin > Themes > Activate some on that list. Then Appearance > Themes > All those you activated should be available for selection.
dawnsinger, the universal blog theme is the theme that lives in /wp-content/themes/default. All blog themes are wordpress themes.

Andy — I’m probably just missing it in the documentation somewhere, but my user-created blogs are showing up as default WordPress themes. How/where do I set a universal member BLOG theme?
Thanks,
J
I just moved over this wordpress my importing form XML file. I have about 25 post with tags and categorize

Is there a way to keep members out of regular behind-the-scenes admin areas entirely?
I had to request a new password for a test user. When you go through the process you’ll end up at a profile page in the admin area that is very different from the other profile editing options on the site.
The regular admin area doesn’t show X-profile data, so no full name, only that annoying username – I use the email login plugin. Of course the layout is very different, unless you go through the trouble of customizing the admin area to fit the front of the site.
What is Buddypress approach to this? Is it possible to completely close the back end for users? Will you cover all the account editing the user needs in the front of the site?
I found this plugin: Weasel’s Login Redirect, but it hasn’t been updated since 2007. This is what I need though:
Redirects user login attempts from going to your dashboard! Great for keeping the ‘back end’ private. Also allows alteration of the login/logout link text.
This one could be a solution: Peter’s Login Redirect. The name instills confidence.
irc… another thing I’ve never gotten into…… sorry for being so slow in adapting.
It seems my plugin is now listed correctly on the WP plugins AND I can upload changes to the trunk with Tortoise! Yay for technology!
One last question regarding the plugin repository. I see some folks have an image (avatar) for their plug-in both in BuddyPress plugins list and WordPress’…. how do I go about adding one?
ok, i started from 0 again, its my 4th day trying to make it work, 8 hours day, I am FRUSTRATED, now:
bbpress alpha 6
BP 1.0.1
wordpress mu 2.7.1
I followed ALL the steps in this post (https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=471&page=5), I know them by heart already, users are shared in bbpress and wordpress, if i log on as admin in wordpress i am logged in also in bbpress, cookies seem to work but….
…still not able to create a group with forum, nothing is updated in bbpress after creating the group, i think its because of cookies but I did ALL as commented so I am REALLY lost
((
so bbpress alpha 6 doesnt work for me, i tried rc1 and rc3 also
i hope, its the most difficult installation ever
after expending 4 days to integrate buddypress bbpress and wordpress mu with no luch it makes Drupal easy
ok, now when i log in in wordpress i am logged in bbpress, but still cant create a group with forums enabled 
and now i can say i dont have any idea of what more to try
(((
I have a peculiar problem: I signed up a test user and named it something. Oddly enough, the name wasn’t saved. Oh well, I thought, and entered it by editing my profile.
Then I signed up another user. This time the name showed up! Only it wasn’t the name I had in mind for that user – it was the name I had entered for the previous user, where the name hadn’t been saved!
Strange, I thought, and tried again. Only to see the same thing happen again. When I register, I get the name of the previous registrant, and the name I enter is saved for the next person who registers.
It keeps happening when I register some more.
Any ideas?
I’m running:
* WordPress MU 2.7.1

Hi,
I’m having a problem with comments. After submitting a comment I’m redirected to the very first post.instead of direct back to the post with the newly posted comment.
I have deactivated Buddypress and reverted to the original theme — then it works.
It doesn’t look to be a core problem. More looks like a Buddypress problem.
Initially I was having a problem where adding a comment just went to a white screen: http://mysite.com/comment-page-/#comment-
Solution to this was to drop and recreate the comment tables as per: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/249950
Now I’m having this redirect problem.
Can someone show me where this redirect takes place? I’d like to see it in the core files to understand better.
All help appreciated. Is this a known issue?
