There’s a Codex article:
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/upgrading-a-buddypress-1-0-theme-for-buddypress-1-1/
Scroll down to the section entitled “I’ve used a WordPress theme for my blog with the default BuddyPress member themeâ€.
Does this mean that the Default theme must now be used as the primary Theme on a site?
Previously, I was able to use a standard WordPress theme (vita) and link to my Community (Buddypress, using the 1.0.1 Default theme). From what I can see now though, if I want to use the Buddypress 1.1 Default theme, it needs to be activated as the primary theme. Is there any way around this? If not, this is a frustrating development indeed….
I’m bumping this, as this issue is critical for non English bp users around the world.
Or if anybody know any wordpress hack to make wordpress understand i18n slugs just as good as wikipedia, please let us know.
@Tore, no, BP 1.1 themes go into /wp-content/themes/ like any other wordpress themes.
/wp-content/bp-themes/ is from the previous version of BP and is deprecated.
Thanks Jeff I did see that. I jumped to the end ““I’ve built a completely custom WordPress theme and BuddyPress themeâ€
I was thinking mine was custom but maybe its just altered. I think I need to visit
““I’ve used the old default themes, but modified the layout/colors—
a little more in depth now that you point it out. thanks.
After I finish a site I’m working on I’m going to hack that wordpress iphone plugin to work with BP
here is what I got when I tried to activate Buddpress following your steps
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

@forestwander-
Your issue is not the same as the OP. I’ve replied to your issue on your other cross post.
I also have tried activating 1.1 and am getting the same type error.
However, I am in fact using WPMU.
After several tries, sometimes I get 500 internal server error.
Installing from the plugins in the admin console simply won’t work.
I am using 1and1.
I cannot activate please help
If /wp-content/bpthemes/ exist, BP will try to use pre-version 1.1 themes.
If that folder doesn’t exist, it will load from /wp-content/themes/ as like normal WordPress. This is explained perfectly well in the upgrade documentation and throughout this forum.
Of course there’s a BuddyPress “API”. How do you think we write plugins and themes that rely on BuddyPress? If you are specifically talking about stuff like how WordPress can use XML-RPC for remote blog posts, then, no, there’s nothing like that at the moment. You could use the AJAX functions for quite a lot of stuff, however.
I would imagine this is a very low priority feature suggestion and such a thing would more likely be driven by someone writing some kind of external app.
You are not following the upgrade instructions properly. There’s a document linked on the news post on the front of this site to an in-depth article, but:
1) Deactivate all of your plugins, but not BuddyPress (yet).
2) Remove any plugins out of your mu-plugins folder.
3) Change your theme back to the standard WordPress theme.
4) (Now) deactivate the BuddyPress plugin.
5) Delete BuddyPress off your server and the /wp-content/bp-themes/ directory.
6) Upload 1.1 and move the new themes into /wp-content/themes/.
7) Reactivate the BuddyPress plugin. Reactivate the BuddyPress theme.
Reactivate any other plugins you took out in step 1.
WPSC has a “don’t cache for logged in users” setting, which you might want to use given the nature of a BP site.
I’ve seen various people also recommending WP Object Caching, which can reduce the load on the DB server and might be worth looking into *if* your performance bottleneck is the DB… if it isn’t, then it could make matters worse. Use the page generation time and (to a lesser extent) the number of queries information that the default templates show in an HTML comment at the bottom of most templates to test your options both with and without whatever caching you put in.
Useful links: Overview of WP Object Cache from 2006 for an intro, various flavours of Object Cache (APC, eAccelerator, filesystem) (if you dig around you’ll also find one which works with memcached).
I’m having the same error. I can attest to the fact that none of these are because of 3rd party. I have a brand new Buddypress, fully update WordPress Mu, and Bbpress installed at the /forum directory. It will not let me switch from a different BPtheme other than the Network Parent Theme, which is one of the two themes bundled with Buddypress. The error comes regardless of which WP theme I am using – I am getting the exact same result. By commenting out lines 428-456 in the bx-profile-deprecated.php file, I can get a working sign in form, but users have to put in their own profile information later. Has there been any to get a permanent fix here?
BuddyPress doesn’t support WordPress. Make sure you have WPMU installed.

Ah, here I am 
I have (finally) upgraded to BuddyPress 1.1 on my test site (just the forums working in one click is just worth every minute of it!!). I have set aside (branched) the old version of bp-events (0.6) for people still running bp 1.0.3 (for whatever reason), and from now on, the trunk version on my site (and WordPress plugins) will solely work on BP 1.1 and beyond. Marius has put in a *ton* of work rewriting most of the code to keep up with the major changes to BP from 1.0.3 to 1.1. For the next little while, I will mirror the changes made to the trunk listed on this thread to the one on my site until we merge the two and go forward on one version (when I have figured out how to do this…)
I am currently reworking the calendar view to have *lots* of AJAX “refreshments”…
Does this also work for child themes? I get at example.com/about
This is an example of a WordPress page, you could edit this to put information about yourself or your site so readers know where you are coming from. You can create as many pages like this one or sub-pages as you like and manage all of your content inside of WordPress.
How do I only remove the admin bar from the wordpress admin area? Want to keep it everywhere else. I know Andy added the admin bar to the admin area some time back, but I haven’t found anything to remove it only from the admin section?
@John James Jacoby, awesome–thanks for the quick response! It’s this kind of thing that makes me love the WordPress/MU community.
