BuddyPress.org

have you copied the buddypress themes to themes folder and activated default theme.

Does your wpmu works before activating the buddypress.

Please have a look here

and provide more details.

I had the same problem on my local install, when i downgraded php5 to php4 it started to work, hope it helps to diagnose your problem…

We have no idea about your setup so we cannot offer help. See this:

So, I guess we can assume that you are also on the same server as the OP which would mean that you have the exact same server log files. Of course not. Have you actually checked your server’s log files to see if there are any errors?

We spend a lot of time helping others so we expect people with issues to spend a little of their time providing us with details about their own, unique operating setup.

Have you tried deactivating BuddyPress, deleting the contents of the /wp-content/buddypress/ directory, and then reinstalling and reactivating?

@duna1921

Okay, just to make sure, you are running WordPress Mu and not single-version WP, correct?

Since above you indicate that this is a clean install, I would suggest starting over from scratch once more. This means deleting the MySQL DB ( I assume that there is no data worth saving since you said that this is the first time you had installed WPMU). Next, reinstall WPMU and fully test it before installing BuddyPress. Once you’ve determined WPMU is functioning properly, then install and activate BP. Choose the default BP theme. Do not install any other plugins until you have verified that BP is functioning properly.

To make sure that you install both WPMU and BP properly, read the readme.txt files that come with each application.

I installed WPMU and buddypress and all work great but blogs subdomains dont work – blank page

can you help me? whats wrong… install was OK

Hi all,

I am also having the same problem and I am short on time with my project. I told my client I could offer him a better site for his money, and I am stuck with this problem. I have checked my database and cant find any tables for buddypress there. It is a fresh install of BP 1.1.2 on WPMU 2.8.5.2. I have tried the htaccess modifications – no change. I have reinstalled both WPMU and buddypress severally with the same problem of blank page. My webhost is hostforweb.

@chrisk2020 I was wondering how I could get to install the database manually. I don’t have a previous install.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you for the continued support by the buddypress dev team and everyone in this forum.

Thank you DJPaul,

I have deleted and reinstalled both WPMU and buddypress about 8 times over the past 3 days and I get the same problem.

I have gone through this thread and think the problem is not different.

I am only looking for a solution that works.

Thank you.

DB tables not being created is an odd one. On a pristine, virgin WPMU setup, when installing BuddyPress and clicking ‘activate sitewide’ (or whatever it is) in the admin plugin page, it obviously tells WPMU to load this plugin on each page load from then on.

What BuddyPress does as soon as it is included (i.e. when the admin page reloads itself to show you that the ‘plugin has been activated’ successfully), is check to see if certain values exist in the wp_sitemeta DB table – i.e. bp-activity-db-version, bp-core-db-version and so on. If those aren’t set, then the SQL is run to create the database tables.

As an aside, this is what people run into when they delete the BuddyPress plugin files and DB tables in an attempt to “reinstall” BuddyPress – the tables are never recreated because those database records in wp_sitemeta still exist (so BuddyPress thinks it is still installed). Bit of a long shot but none of you have done this?
