Erroneous message -> Buddypress themes not installed

I have activated the themes in the WPMU settings section. I have also installed them in the directory wp-content/bp-themes

However in the BuddyPress settings it tells me “You do not have any themes installed”

Also when I try and access the profile section I get the error message

“You do not have any BuddyPress themes installed.

Please move “/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/” to “/wp-content/bp-themes/” and refresh this page. You can download more themes here.”

However I have all the buddy press theme files and more in the right folder.

Only bp themes go into /wp-content/bp-themes. Normal wp themes do not go there. They live in /wp-content/themes as always. If you have just upgraded to 1.0 then the bp member theme directory name has changed from bp-member to bpmember due to changes in wpmu 2.7.1.

Go to the back end of wpmu BuddyPress > General Settings, make sure the default member theme is selected and press Save Settings. Should go away.

Thanks for the response Burt.

I am using WPMU 2.7.1

However the subfolder within bp-themes is bpmember, so no problems there. And when I go to the wpmu BuddyPress backend I cannot select any themes.

I even tried removing the non BP themes from the BP folder. But it doesn’t make a difference.

Well, the error message is correct. You don’t have any bp themes installed if that gif actually is whey way the files are layed out. The bp-themes folder belongs in /wp-content not in /themes it is *not* a normal wp theme. Please see the readme.txt in /bp-themes.

AAAAA! I’m so stupid!! I kept reading it as wp-content/themes/

Sorry.

Thanks for the help, Burt.

I’m having the same problem, but mine seems to be related only to the “register” page.

I can’t let anyone register. What is the difference between /wp-signup.php and /register?

I can’t get either to work. I did a clean install on another test domain into a new database and it won’t let me signup anyone either. I get blank screens back with no errors.

Yeah. Never mind. I’m quitting. Not going to use this any more. Too much trouble.

I moved bp-themes into /wp-content/ as directed but still got the error message.

Under the “Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages:” in general settings the option for using the ‘bpmember’ theme was not appearing. I could only select the default wordpress mu themes. I selected the ‘Default’ theme and then renamed the ‘bpmember’ folder to ‘default’ to get this working.

Eg:

..wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/

Renamed it to this folder:

..wp-content/bp-themes/default/

I had this problem too… did everything right per the instructions — but I solved it! I was upgrading from a version (1.0b1) where the structure was mainly in the mu-plugins folder. After upgrading database must have still pointed to that location, and so after I deleted the buddypress files in mu-plugins, it gave me the error message.

All I did to solve it was go to Buddypress -> General Settings and selected the skeleton BP theme, saved settings, then selected the default BP theme, saved settings. I assume that fixed the entry in the database.

I’ve installed WPMU trunk via SVN and all is well.

Then I install BuddyPress via the shell ‘wget’ method, and placed the plugin and theme files in the correct locations:

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress

/wp-content/themes/bphome

/wp-content/bp-themes

I can activate BuddyPress, but when I go to the /members page for example, I am given:

You do not have any BuddyPress themes installed.

Please move “/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/” to “/wp-content/bp-themes/” and refresh this page. You can download more themes here.

When I visit the wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-core.php page, the dropdown of themes to select gives me the default WPMU themes – not the BP themes.

Here are some details about my setup:

1. Which version of WPMU are you running?

– 2.8.1-RC1

2. Did you install WPMU as a directory or subdomain install?

– Subdomain

3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?

– NA

4. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU? If so, from which version?

– No, fresh install

5. Was WPMU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress?

– Yes

6. Which version of BuddyPress (BP) are you running?

– 1.0.2

7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?

– No, fresh install

8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated?

– No

9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes?

– Standard, for now

10. Have you modified the core files in any way?

– No

11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php?

– No

12. If running bbPress, which version?

– Not running, yet

13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files.

– No errors

I’ve since uploaded everything again and it’s working – second time this has happened – I have NO idea what was wrong!
