Well… you can still make WordPress pages of course and have them show up in the Pages widget… but I’m guessing you want the pages to be associated with a specific blog/profile?
It should be working. (place your bp-custom.php outside buddypress as it will be deleted when you upgrade buddypress next time by wordpress update system)
I try to add widgets to the center- and right-column.
I select the column in the pull-down and press Show.
I add the widget.
But instead of showing the selected widget for the selected column,
the left-column is shown with the newly added widget.
All widgets are only added to the left-column.
I’m using WordPress MU 2.7.1 and BuddyPress 1.0.
Both fresh installs.
Using BuddyPress Default Home Theme 1.0.
Thanks for all help.
I didn’t notice status changed to resolve, but it’s not. It’s somewhat resolved because I remove those lines.
I have a perfect working WPMU 2.7.1, and all I want to do is to add those lines as wordpress mu’s tutorial site suggests for security reason. I don’t need BBPress. I had tried installed BBPress before when I first installed BuddyPress. I didn’t get BBPress worked with BuddyPress so I ditched BBPress.
Clearly I have a working WPMU 2.7.1, and working BuddyPress 1.0 (final). Though my only problem is by adding those lines, the logout link won’t work properly. It’s obvious it has to do with cookies and sessions.
So by removing those lines meaning I’m not doing exactly like WordPress MU tutorial suggests. So it’s not resolved. I wonder because what I did with BBPress before and then decided not to use BBPress by removing it has an after effect that affects my situation now? I remember that BBPress requires you to mess around with cookies and stuffs like that.
I would like to install buddypress onto my existing wordpress install (regular wordpress not wordpress mu).
At this time, BuddyPress only works with WPMU 2.7.1. You cannot use it with single-version WordPress.
How would I upgrade this to a wordpress mu/buddypress install?

will this integrate with my current wordpress theme
No. You will either need to use the standard BuddyPress themes that come with the package, or update your custom themes as detailed here: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypress/upgrading-from-rc-1/
WordPress (regular) and BuddyPress don’t work together (yet). You need to install MU first and then BP.

Thanks!
oh JJJ – to answer your Q, my username / login comes from wordpress.org so the integration works as far me logging in but there is clearly a problem with the way it is functioning. My inkling here is bug, perhaps an enhancement request. while is doesnt bother me per se it is a problem and requires a “fix”.
“Let me ask all of you a question. On your root blog, the main blog of your site, what do you all have your WordPress MU Permalinks set to? Admin->Settings->Permalink”
yes I have checked and the default themes that come with the download are installed
bpskeletonmember and bpmemeber
Nothing nothing nothing!
BuddyPress is a plugin FOR WordPress MU. Your question is, what does a WP plugin need to do to work in WPMU? The biggest differences I am aware of is that WPMU plugins don’t utilise the activation/deactivation functions that WP plugins do.
I suspect if you search the WPMU site or message board, someone will have asked this question before.
I’m just not sure what I even need to be looking for.
The plugin I’m going to port is: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/dandyid-services/
Thanks, Neil
Gladsteins, there won’t be a /members directory in your structure.
Within your /bp-themes/ directory are there themes in there? Namely bpmember? If your /bp-themes/ directory is empty, then nothing will show up in your settings screen.

The BuddyPress Codex serves as the manuscript to everything you need to know about BuddyPress. Installing, upgrading, modifying, trouble shooting, finding that particular hook, filter, or function, etc…
You can find it naturally by navigating to BuddyPress.org -> Developers -> Docs
The BuddyPress Codex is a constant work in progress. Those of you familiar with the WordPress.org Codex understand not only the value of accurate and up to date documentation, but also the magnitude of information there is to document. If you’ve never visited the WordPress.org Codex, I encourage you to do so as it contains everything you need to know about WordPress and WordPress MU.
Below you will find a few helpful and commonly referred to Codex articles that answer a few of the current typical questions. (This list is subject to change as the needs of the forum change.)

Okay, thanks for the updated information. From those error messages, it appears that PHP is having trouble saving session information. This will cause big issues. However, this is not a BuddyPress nor WordPress-specific issue. This is an issue with your web server.
I suggest that you contact your web hosting firm and ask them to help you.
I am having same issue
“Please move the default BuddyPress themes to their correct location (move 
\apache2triad\htdocs\wordpress/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/ to \apache2triad\htdocs\wordpress/wp-content/bp-themes/) and reload this page.”
See all the folders in the correct spots
Do NOT have option to activate Buddy Theme in Admin themes
Nor do I see a /members dir in WP structure

I’m also getting 404 errors on the links to anything members/groups/etc. BUT my WordPress installation worked fine (with some users that I believe were imported from our other test system) before installing BP. We didn’t import any blogs, themes or plugins from our other install — just some user accounts.
I am looking at moving from Xoops to Buddypress. My major concern is converting the forum CBB to bbpress. I have a mediawiki integration which can be stand alone and a group blog that is wordpress based so that should not be an issue. It is the forum that is holding me back. Any suggestions or experience on this would be appreciated.
Arghagain-
Adding to what jjj and TheEasyButton are saying, if you are still having issues then it is important to start from scratch. You must get WPMU functioning properly before installing BuddyPress. Then make sure BuddyPress is functioning properly before installing and integrating bbPress.
From what you are saying, it is not clear if you are upgrading WPMU from 2.6 or 2.7? Did you already have a working copy of WPMU installed? If so, what version?
If you are upgrading from 2.7 to 2.7.1 following these upgrading instructions, then make sure you finish the upgrading process by logging into WPMU’s backend as site admin and going to “Site Admin -> Upgrade”. Also, make sure you use the wp-config-sample.php file that comes with WPMU 2.7.1 and modify that version as needed. Do not use an older version of the wp-config.php file.
If you do not have an active site with real members and you are only in testing mode, then you can safely delete everything and perform a clean install. This means that you do not have any data in the MySQL DB that is worth saving.
If that is the case,save to a separate file any custom themes you may have created or installed. Also, save any 3rd-party plugins you may have installed for WPMU. Then, start from scratch. Delete everything including your MySQL DB. Once you have reinstalled WPMU succesfully, you can copy back your custom themes and 3rd-party plugins into their proper locations.
Finally, if you are still using BP RC2, it is time to switch to BuddyPress 1.0, the public release version of BP.
Thanks for the response.
I bought the themes from StudioPress and see they have made a Grunge Buddypress theme for another client. I will try and contract them to do the same for myself.
Unfortunately since we will be using a purchased theme, I would not be able to make it open to everyone, however I will ask StudioPress to consider adding it to their product list for sale.
I will also look at the coding myself as I am generally good with be able to follow systems that are well documented. If this is the case I will look into creating themes using free/gpl wordpress themes. What my clients have been after is more of a wordpress modular feel than buddypress.
I am also looking into integrating phpMotion and will report back to this forum as my clients all want locally hosted/owned video/images site wide and on user profiles.
Regards
Mark
Here’s definition.
http://wpmu.org/the-wordpress-mu-guide/site-options/standard-site-options/
wpmu doesn’t have the option you are looking for. But you can use 2nd option with a plugin to moderate new blogs. To find out more, visit wpmu forums and wpmudev.
This has nothing to do with BuddyPress. 
All or most of wordpress plugins DO WORK on wpmu under /plugins/ folder. But for the case of /mu-plugins/ folder, you should only use the plugins that supports wpmu in general.
