Rather than using SVN, an alternative method to get wpmu 2.7.1 beta or the buddypress trunk is to download the zip versions from the bottom of these pages:
http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.7
http://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk
Download in other formats:
Zip Archive
Browsing to those locations gets you the most recent versions of either package.
In wp-login.php, I have found the following line of code (around line 470) ….
I want to redirect the user to their profile page, so I changed it to …
I would highly recommend that you stay away from hacking core WPMU files. You’ll have to make the changes all over again the next time you update WPMU.
This is the way you should do it: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1095
How can I change the wp-login page to include my site\’s logo instead of the WordPress logo? Is this possible?

By the way, you may receive faster responses in the future if you ask WPMU questions on the WPMU forums and ask BuddyPress-specific questions on this forum.
Madshark-
It must be the latest branch, not trunk. Use this link http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/branches/2.7
I have SEVERAL log-in questions.
1) I have read through the posts on the login redirection, but have a specific coding question. Here it is:
In wp-login.php, I have found the following line of code (around line 470):
<input type=\\\”hidden\\\” name=\\\”redirect_to\\\” value=\\\”<?php echo attribute_escape($redirect_to); ?>\\\” />
I want to redirect the user to their profile page, so I changed it to:
<input type=\\\”hidden\\\” name=\\\”redirect_to\\\” value=\\\”http://mysite/members/%5Bwant to include username here]\\\” />
What term/code to generate the username in the URL? Any ideas?
2) How can I change the wp-login page to include my site\\\’s logo instead of the WordPress logo? Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
RC-2 will come out as soon as 2.7.1 is released. I’ll release it via the automatic plugin download feature built into WordPress – as well as a zip.
As long as there are no major problems found (none for a while in trac) I’ll update to 1.0, and that will then test the auto-update procedure.
Make sure that bp is installed in a directory called /plugins/buddypress
Make sure that you are using the wpmu svn 2.7 branch http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/branches/2.7 not the wpmu trunk.
For some reason bp is not loading correctly. bp should be installed in the above directory and there should be other subdirs underneath that with all the components. Do you have this file in this path? /plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-templatetags.php
That is one of the files that is not loading.
Hi Guys
I updated my buddy press and wordpress mu trunk. And made all the changes with the themes foolder etc.
*I have now come across the following errors when i click on the groups listings:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_has_site_groups() in /home/gvineco/public_html/wp-content/bp-themes/buddypress-member/directories/groups/groups-loop.php on line 1
and
*and here is the second problem:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_has_site_blogs() in /home/gvineco/public_html/wp-content/bp-themes/buddypress-member/directories/blogs/blogs-loop.php on line 1
What do i do to correct this? Im so lost and have been hacking away for a few days but cant get it right.
Regards
Stef
Example: http://testbp.org/groups/buddypress-testers-614548248
You see \”Test Drive BuddyPress — Groups — BuddyPress Testers\”
but: http://sinoblog.net/groups/wordpress-mu
You see \”Groups » WordPress […] » Home\”
I check out \”../wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/header.php\”
How do I modify this line \”<title><?php bp_page_title() ?></title>\”
@John James Jacoby
Thanks John, I’ll wait for the tutorial!
Note – because of a limitation of my hosting provider (for whom I am a reseller) – they don’t allow xml-rpc calls to the same server, I have had to put bbPress on a different server from WordPress & BuddyPress, so if you want a tester to go through the tutorial I am happy to do so.
(I have a few spare domain names kicking around that I can use for this!)
Hi just to let you know that I have managed to get flash games working on the site with this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/swfobj/
cheers
This thread has an example of how to build a filter: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2146 for the user full name.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API for docs on wp actions and filters.
You should really talk to DJPaul here on the forums. He has a plugin called Welcome Pack that assigns new users a default friend and default group. He also says that the next version of that plugin will have the ability to create a custom welcome message to the new user. Not sure if that’s a PM or an email. Suggest what you want to him. He’s working that kinda track.

OK I am working on a WordPress Mu site and I like some of the features of BuddyPress… like creating profiles, adding friends, etc… However I would like to implement those features without the plug-in basically transforming the whole site, since I still want the blogs to be the center point. Is there a way to keep the BuddyPress profiles but have them as a box on the blog? Or at least just have the blogs be the home page and the profiles linked to from there? If anyone has done this or knows how to do it I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!
It’s neither actually anymore.
It involves “deep integration” on the bbPress side, including WordPress/BuddyPress inside bbPress, and then making a new theme for bbPress that matches. 
Trent and I are working on a comprehensive walk-through on how to do this soon.
First, please read this entire thread (all the posts) at least two times through before starting: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1994
Then read through these links:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WPMU
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1285#post-9999
http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/installing-through-svn/
Once you’ve done that, have a SVN client installed, and feel confident, go back to the first link in this post and follow the instructions.
From where do I get the most recent versions?
Those links are provided in the detailed instructions contained in the first link above.
I am on RC1.. I had Send Invites plugin installed, it messed up the whole thing (i.e. it automatically disabled the JS for some reason), so I deleted the plugin file and folder.
I had installed WP Super Cache too, it did not work well, so I had to take it off too..
Other than that, no MU plugins…
Here is the list of plugins I have installed for a single blog:
Akismet
All in One SEO Pack
Global Translator
Google XML Sitemaps
SexyBookmarks
Smart Youtube
Smilies Themer
Twitter for WordPress
Twitter for WordPress
WordPress 2.6+ and bbPress 0.9 cookie integration
WP Custom Login Logo
I disabled all the plugins but still the issue remains.
In my previous reply, I had disabled registration just to cross verify.. but still the new tables are getting created..
I traced the user from the User ID mentioned in the table name.. the user looks like a spammer to me.. but now sure what the user is trying to do as those created tables have 0 records…
Hi Wythagy
The newest version requires WPMU 2.7 branch which is still in development (http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/branches/2.7/) as well as the latest BuddyPress (by which I mean the BuddyPress SVN trunk https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk).
If you are using BP RC1, then Welcome Pack doesn’t work full stop. Could you clarify what versions you are using so I can check stuff out? Thanks.
You have a blog that you allow people to have the role of Author. You want to restrict your authors to posting in certain categories only? Buddypress doesn’t have this capability but I’m sure you will be able to find such a plugin in the wp plugin directory: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
sorry i still dont understand exactly what it is this will enable, i kinda understand how xmlrpc works for wordpress to enable trackbacks but what will this do for us and buddypress??
Sorry for being impatient. Anyone knows how to do this? Looks pretty simple to me but still can’t figure out myself. It’s the core wordpress functionality.
People seem to use the role manager plugin for this kind of use Anointed. There are lots of this type of plugin available for wp.
http://www.im-web-gefunden.de/wordpress-plugins/role-manager/
Ok!! Then it is excellent. Because for this feature above, there is a plugin (WP):
http://www.kriesi.at/archives/wordpress-plugin-my-favorite-posts
search in https://codex.wordpress.org/ , for filters, and user metas
anyway if you’ve never developed with wp code it might be difficult
This may be a WordPress MU related feature – but it would be great to allow categorization of blogs on a site. I think a similar feature is categories for groups (see http://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=830#post-8285).
There may be different types of blogs: group blogs, presonal blogs, project blogs, knowledge blogs, event blogs, seminar blogs, learning blogs, etc etc
We currently have a workaround by using the first word of the title of a blog (e.g. “Tutorials: Flash Tutorial”) – but this is not a clean solution.
