Yes that is what I am referring to the 103 theme. I used the current buddypress default theme when I did the update (to get the site working), but it appears to be a blogging theme (a more traditional WordPress one) and not a social networking theme like the 103 was. My home page had no blog at all on it and was oriented to widgets that provided resources and the blog area was on another page. I would like to get the 103 theme working in a compliant version but it is not listed in the themes section so I assumed it had not been updated. If you know where there is a compatible version please let me know and I will check it out (it would save me many hours of work).
Thanks
== I have 40 entires as custom post types in a custom directory lists. ==
Supposed to be that Custom Post Types could be exported in Tools > Export from old site and then use Tools > Import WP WXR in new site. I haven’t had the occasion to test it yet, but per this WP trac, it’s supposed to have been fixed already https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14306. The best bet would be to check it yourself in a test install or in your new one at the other domain.
== I had no idea Fantastico was so bad, are lots of people finding holes in it? ==
It should be outlawed 
btw, as i’m working on a tool right now that integrate the Buddypress Adminbar inside the official WordPress Adminbar, here is the setting i added when thinking of you:
http://nexialys.net/nex_bp_adminbar/nex_bp_adminbar_settings.png

@rossagrant shucks, before you mentioned that changing usernames/passwords affected all other themes, I was going to write that you should get theme support from @Bowromir again 
Seriously though, there’s a silver lining to discovering about the perils/shortcomings of Fantastico this early in your installation – knowing never to use it again for another developer installation as @nexia said. There are many who have posted their woes in WP.org forums. Shaving off a few minutes of uploading WP manually, creating a database and installing WP is not worth the hours wasted on a shaky foundation set up via Fantastico.
At this stage, it’s a blessing you only have 4 members a few groups etc which you can recreate later on. So it would come as no surprise that I would recommend starting your installation from scratch – clean and solid – after making DB and server files backup (just in case). Contact your webhost tech support on how to delete WP and Fantastico files properly. There’s one topic in WP.org forums which gives a clue but no actual solution https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fantastico-problem?replies=1 so you need your webhost tech support on this one.
Plugin probably wasn’t by Andy FWIW. There’s a bug on the bp.org plugin groups section that sometimes defaults to Andy being the plugin author.
If it’s an admin menu problem, then read the post on the BP development blog:

Hi
Installed: WordPress 3.1
Buddypress 1.2.8
Also added BuddyPress Template Pack (1.0.2) as I wished to use alternative theme
The problem is when I navigate to http://hongernaarmeer.nl/launch1/ Buddypress does not display the WP-LOGIN screen
Please advise how to enable this?
Thanks
It’s a windows (iis) server and the index.php is a default wordpress functionality.
Just look at the permalink structure of wordpress and you’ll see it!
but still the problem isn’t resolved…
So anyone any tips?
@Nexia very much looking forward to this.. and I’m pretty sure it will be added to BP 1.3.. I think it’s a very important feature. On question.. could you change the profile link in the left-top of the bar (which also shows the gravatar) to show the user avatar and direct to their BP profile instead of their backend wordpress profile? That would be neat!
Thanks for doing this 
ok, so you tell us that you’re using the Auto-Install-Wordpress from your host? … like hostgator offers…
forget that, you have two choices then: keep everything like generated by the installer, or drop everything and install WP on your own, entirely… you can’t do a thing else than that. no need to explain.
I was going to test it when I saw this post in plugin dev’s forums http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=719 Probably one of the reasons plugin dev did not include buddypress tag/support in https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-cache/ You might want to check how current version’s working out in latest WP/BP
Deactivate BuddyPress and BP plugins and change to default twentyten. Permalinks should be resolved before installing BP.
Have you searched online for ISAPI rewrite and WordPress? This looks like the ticket http://www.helicontech.com/cms_articles/wordpress.htm or you could post in their forums.
WP Codex has some info for IIS servers https://codex.wordpress.org/User:ringmaster/IIS#Configuring_Permalinks

Not sure what happened… any ideas would be most welcome! Thank you 
I just had a pile of hours in that theme and the page was very nice, not really a blog on the home page, but it appears it is not upgradable. I think it was the “BuddyPress Default Home Theme 1.0.3 by Andy Peatling” which used widgets. I guess I can use any wordpress theme so I will hunt around for a similar one.
I appreciate all your help
“Still wonder about splog signups, do I need to do anything?”
You could try this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/moderate-new-blogs/
Supposed to be compatible up to WP3.0.5 but you can give it a shot.
@DJPaul @nexia Thanks for the replies guys.
The only thing in my footer is a tag cloud widget which is the generic one built into wordpress?
I have deactivated all plugins when the new password is set and that doesn’t help and this occurs in EVERY theme so it’s not my theme.
It’s really bizarre. I’m going to get Boris to take a look over FTP but if we can’t find anything would you guys be prepared to take a look?
One thing I have noticed is that with the MYSQL DB for this site, there are no users attached to it, so it is just one DB and one password for it. On my other sites the install seems to have created a user for the DB which is set the same in wp-config so that even when you change your main passwords the user password is unchanged and therefore you don’t have to edit wp-config.
Saying this I’ve tried setting up a user and changed the details in wp-config to match and the problem still persists. The entire site works except for the footer not showing.
Bloody odd.
You can see the site and footer showing at the mo at http://www.actonthis.co
See http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-cache/
Anyone tested this out, or can recommend it?
If you are experiencing any issues with Jetpack connecting to WordPress.com, and feel you have singled it down to BuddyPress being the culprit, please check out this topic over at WordPress.org and post up some details so that we can try to troubleshoot together.
I’ve researched this topic for about a week now, and am more confused now than before I started.
I’m trying to achieve what http://www.wp-united.com does with phpbb forums. Meaning I want users to be synced, and I want blog posts to be topics. I’d just use wp-united, but the author has year long hiatus’ that really leave the adopters screwed. So, I don’t really know where to go for my client.
I have a phpbb forums with several years of posts and users that I’d like to bring to something more integrated.
Currently I’m testing Simple:Press, but it can’t post previously started topics into blogs (only new ones… this is a really important feature to me), it has no importer to bring in information of users and topics from phpbb, and it’s butt ugly with no ability to customize the theme past simple color changes.
Is there a setup I can use that will give me similar results? I’ve read about people using bbpress + buddyress + wordpress for some cool integration, but will that help me in my situation? I don’t want to sink days into a setup that’s not going to do what I actually want it to do.
So, if you were going to build a blog with a deeply integrated discussion based community into it, where the blog and discussion platform were connected tightly… where would you look? What platforms would you use, and what plugins/hacks would you do to make it possible? I’m totally at a loss for where to start looking.
@liping this is what i have!
when you press on the user link you go to his profile /members/userName
and the screen you see in the sub nav is activity
what i want to know is what setting the defult screen on the profile single page
setting your sub nav to be first not working
i know it’s somthing with the $bp global defult component just didnt know how to do it.
well here is the solution:
http://www.thinkinginwordpress.com/2010/06/changing-default-component-for-landing-page-of-user-profile-in-buddypress/
`define(“BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT”,”profile”);`
Currently when posting a new article, an author can set the post to ‘public’, ‘password’ or ‘private’. This was fine for blogging software, but buddypress could do with a couple more options. I’d like to additional settings of ‘logged in users’ and ‘friends’. So far I’ve only found plugins that add this functionality by whole ‘blog’ or ‘category’.
I’m basically planning a migration of an existing site to buddypress from elgg, and elgg supports this level of post visibility, and also the ability to set posts to custom ‘friend groups’ and such, out of the box without plugins, and I think myself and the users of my website would miss this functionality.
I’ve created a script for Elgg that imports all the posts in WordPress eXtended RSS format for ease of importing, but this will include posts that were intended for ‘logged in users’ only, so I can’t really go live with BuddyPress until I can do this.
If others need this functionality, I’d be happy to work as part of a team on a GPL plugin. I haven’t built a wordpress plugin before but I’ve written a few for elgg and am a php developer by profession.
