Version 1.11 should appear on the WordPress Plugin Repository within the hour. This is an interim release for further testing. Version 1.2 will come out when BuddyPress v1.0 is final
I’ve added “Another-Wordpress-classifieds-plugin”
http://www.awpcp.com/
to my BP install, which works very well. I modified the plugin to only allow logged in users to post to the classifieds.
I think this plugin would be a great place to start. it seems like it could be easily modified to match your screenshots.
maybe the classifieds plugin could echo back the user’s data on their profile based on the email address they created the ad with. if that could be accomplished, I would then “lock down” the email address they enter in the ad to be the email address attached to their account (right now the user can enter any email)

This is a bug in the libxml2 library on your installation.

You can upgrade this on your server – but – make sure you have enabled the “BuddyPress enable” plugin on the bbPress side, as this is a temporary fix for the problem.
For now you must use WPMU 2.7.1. Down the road BuddyPress will work on single WordPress.org installs but not currently and not for 1.0 release.
Are you familiar with the way WordPress hooks into functions with filters and actions?
Standard WP support won’t be coming until a release after v1.
Can’t wait to give it a try, WPMU seems to be a bit like an overkill for my purpose.
@Dbascent94 & @mesgains: Do you use this on a production server or purely on a test install?
I\’m wondering if this has to do with slugs and wordpress redirection and thinking about downgrading next week if no solution is found, because the minimal would be working then…
1.WordPress MU 2.7.1 + BuddyPress 1.0 RC-2
2.i have never modified anything
3.nope

too much errors… 
Here’s the challenge I’m facing.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to use group IDs instead of group titles when creating groups. I know I can change it anytime via phpmyadmin, but in this case I’m looking for php functions that control how groups are named.
This is because when group title contains Japanese, sometimes the permalink gets too long which exceeds wordpress’s capability and links don’t work.
I’m hoping to extend this to bp-events plugin, as it creates each events from titles. I just simply want to use group/events IDs than titles.
Bpfan,
You can install the same old standard WordPress theme if you’d like, but keep in mind that it won\’t have any functions that tap into BuddyPress at all. Yes they will work, exactly like they did before.
You upload and install them in the same place you’re used to, wp-content/themes/
Then they must be activated in the Site Admin->Themes area.
(Hope you don’t mind, I renamed your topic title so it doesn’t confuse “Member Themes” with “Themes for Members” haha!)
With the BuddyPress RC-2 now using WordPress MU 2.7.1, we’ve found that the BuddyPress Home theme shows a white screen when previewing. Themes can still be activated, they just cannot be previewed.
This appears to be an issue with WordPress MU 2.7.1 disagreeing with the hyphen “-” in the directory name of the theme. Ticket number 965 has been opened on the WPMU Trac to alert their team to this issue.
In the meantime, for those of you looking for a temporary solution, simply rename the directory “buddypress-home” to “buddypress_home” and you’re theme preview will work as per normal.
Hi
I have BuddyPress RC2/WordPRessMU 2.7.1 installed and everything seems to work just fine so far.
I was just wondering what folder I should install any new themes in so that new members who wish to create a blog can choose from a variety of different themes.
Also, is it safe to use standard WordPress themes?.
Thanks, Steve
Hi everyone
I’m using WordPressMU 2.7.1 and all of the RC2 BuddyPress plugins. Everything is set up and working just fine (even the FB-Connect plugin) except for the fact that in IE 7 the FB avatar and the text in the light-yellow box that contains the name and reads “Registered 2 days, 4 hours ago” is out of alignment on the front page (under the default grey “Members” bar).
Here’s a screenshot

What file can I edit to correct this issue?.
Thanks so much, Steve
@Erichamby-
I hope that TMD works well for you!
Incidentally, I noticed that their BuddyPress tutorial is out of date. They have not been keeping up with the changes in theme directories. Also, they state that:
As an addon to the official WordPress MU, BuddyPress is fully compatible with all the plugins and themes of WordPress and does not limit its functionality in any way
This is not true. There are several incorrect statements there. For instance, there are a number of steps that must be taken if you are using a custom WordPress theme with BuddyPress. I hope they’re good at tech support!
Yea i played around with it and got my users from my regular wordpress install into mu/bp and although it showed the users in admin the buddypress never showed them.
This could mean several things. You have an existing WP site and want to get those users into WPMU.
Or you have an existing WPMU site, but when you go the ‘members’ list pages on BuddyPress, most of them don’t appear.
I can’t help you with the first one as I don’t know and that question is more appropiate to the WPMU forums (not BuddyPress’). If it’s the second, the users won’t show up until they’ve logged in and done something. There was a script or so around the forums to get this done automatically, but I don’t know where I saw it. Hopefully someone will post.
Is there a way to import users to buddypress from a wordpress install?
That is not a BuddyPress problem. I suggest you search WordPress’ forums.
On the previous BuddyPress and WordPress 2.7 in the Admin backend there was a place where you could see all of the member blogs and I don\’t see anything for member blogs anymore. SO does Admin have to go into each blog from the front end if they need to help a member?
Also there was a way to set what templates were available to the different members and you had to activate templates. Is this gone? If so how do you limit the templates to the members??
This was all in the Options menu which is gone now.
Thanks!!
I was running WordPress MU 2.7 before and have been manually upgrading ..
bp-themes contains the original buddypress RC2 theme.
I’ve backed up the entire wordpress directory, copied the database, downloaded the zip and overwritten everything. WordPress MU seems to work perfectly. I wonder if BuddyPress would break if I’d return it to it’s RC1 state with the newer WordPress MU installed?
OT: I also wonder why there is an \”Inactive\” above my name, bug?
– logs do not show any errors except the normal 404’s
x.x.x.x – – [24/Apr/2009:13:10:28 +0200] “GET /members/wildchild/ HTTP/1.0” 404 9959
– WPMU 2.7.1 is installed
– Buddypress RC2 is installed for sure (https://buddypress.org/download/ has an error with the url in the title announcing the new version while pointing to the old! Only download zip is RC2 currently)
– RC2 default templates and custom templates do not change anything at all
– I’ve followed the upgrade instructions currently a dozen times
Do you have by any chance the sunrise (domain mapping) or any redirect plugins installed?
I tried by disabling them but I know WordPress is a little bit persistent on it’s redirections; if you got the same installed, it might be a good idea to look towards the mapping since the SLUGS are not working at all.
hello all,
So I uploaded the 100 Big Ones Theme Pack from wpmudev.org on to my BP+WPMU site at ndcom.com, and it works. I have 100 themes on the site that a member may choose from, but when someone comments on a post, their avatar doesn’t appear. Just a number of the comment. So if it’s the first comment, it will display, “1,” if second comment, then it will display, “2,” so on and so forth, doesn’t even display a “mystery man” avatar.
I installed the “Avatar” plugin from wpmudev.org, and the avatars show up in the comment loop, but this plugin messes up the avatars that would have shown up in the dashboard in the “recent comments” section on the lower left of the dashboard for all users.
When I use a theme that’s not part of the 100 Big Ones from wpmudev.org, like the themes, “Journalist” or “P2” or “Prologue” or basically any other theme I download from wordpress.org, the avatars show up in the comment loop.
Is there something uniquely different in the 100 Big Ones theme pack from wpmudev.org that I have to change to enable it to function like a theme, I would enable similar to Journalist, P2, Prologue, or any other theme I upload on a one-theme-at-a-time basis?
Thanks,
Ninh
