Go to the Site Admin menu -> Themes and disable them there.
It does not deactivate the themes, it removes them from the Appearances tab.

Umm… doh!
I kinda thunk it would something that obvious, but it didn’t dawn on me.
Thanks, I’ll take a nap now.
1. problem with blog creation
My wpbp installation is in the folder http://mydomain.com/mywpbp.
When someone wants to create a blog the url he gets is http://hisblog/mydomain.com/mywpbp, which of course won’t work. Any solution? Can I use the present installation with some changes, or have I to start from scratch with a new installation?
2. Just one blog
This may sound funny because wpmu is meant for creating many blogs.
However, my main attraction is in the social network miraculously made possible by buddypress.
For my needs, I only want a single blog (for the admin to put contents) and a social network for users (which includes groups and forums, with the blog-creation option invisible to them).
Is there a way to handle this?
RE-install on single WP or you could just turn off blogs in the back end.
I didn’t get you, modemlooper.
What’s is “one single WP”? and how to turn off of blogs?
He means either a) install Buddypress with regular, non WPU version of WordPress, possible since BP1.2 or b) go into your Site Admin–>Admin–>Allow new registrations and disable it in the WPMU dashboard.
“When someone wants to create a blog the url he gets is http://hisblog/mydomain.com/mywpbp, which of course won’t work. Any solution? “
You didn’t install MU correctly and make sure it was working first.
But really, if you just wanted the main blog, then install regualr WordPress with BuddyPress.
WP regular with buddypress doesn’t show groups and forums.
Yes, it does. The groups & forums use bbpress. The MU part only manages additional blogs.
@ Andrea_r
With regular WP and Buddypress, I reach an error page whatever menu item I click.
@ Andrea_r
Whichever menu item I click, I get the following error mrssage at http://onlicone.com/zebra.
This is an exmaple.
“Not Found
The requested URL /zebra/members//settings/general/ was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.14 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.14 OpenSSL/0.9.7a mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at onlicone.com Port 80″
See the extra slash it;s utting in the URL? That’s your problem.
But how came the extra slash?
After /zebra/ anything is put by WP itself.
What internal error must have caused it?
A plugin of some sort, a stray trailing slash filled in by you…
Andrea, I am talking about fresh installations, as intact as they come — before I could have meddled with any settings or added any plugin (other than BP). You must have noticed that the extra slash comes somewhere in the middle; not immediately after the WP folder name:
/zebra/members//settings/general/ was not found on this serve
I installed WP thrice, each time using a new MySql database, but installation was done through cPnale Fantastico. Do you think that could have made a difference?
Frankly, I am least interested in blogs. I settled for WP because of BP, just for BP. I thought, with the social network and a forum around, I could use a single blog for all my CMS needs. The intended site is for reproducing the weekly articles I write for a newspaper column.
Regards.
