    Hello,
    I tried upgrading to Buddypress 1.2.5.2 and it hasn’t worked at all. I have lost all my groups, and the buddypress theme I was using no longer works as it should. When I try and upload a new buddypress theme, I get :

    Broken Themes (Site admin only)
    The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

    Name Description
    Facelook The parent theme is missing. Please install the “bp-default” parent theme.

    Please please please help!

    Are you updating through automatic or FTP? Do you have a caching plugin installed?

    If caching plugin installed then disable it then try to update files via FTP.

    Alternatively, reinstall your backup.

    Update was automatic. I don’t think I have a caching plugin – would that be through wordpress?

    If I can just install the new buddypress theme with a functioning toolbar I’ll be ecstatic.

    If you do not want to use FTP then you might try yoursite.com/wp-admin/theme-install.php and search for Facelook.

    Yep, did that. That’s how I got here.

    Use FTP to do a complete reinstall of the entire BuddyPress plugin again. Make sure that you have the correct folder and that it’s in the correct folder level. After that then remove your Facelook theme from the theme folder. Then see if your site comes back with the BuddyPress Default Theme activated.

    Which folder should the buddypress plugin be in? It’s currently in /public_html/thenorthschool.com/wordpress-mu/wp-content/plugins

    Just tried that. The theme that gets loaded is BuddyPress Default 1.1.2 . Is this what it should be?

    I should be a little more specific in my problem. The theme I have going is the BuddyPress Default 1.1.2 theme. This used to work fine, but now the admin bar no longer works and all the links to the main blog, forum, groups etc etc are down.

    Do you have a link?

    Phew! I solved the problem. I first deleted the BuddyPress Default 1.1.2 theme, then deleted BuddyPress, then reinstalled BuddyPress, which gave me the new default theme, which has restored all the links and the admin toolbar.

    I am one very happy and relieved man.

    Thank you LPH2005 and paulhastings0 for your assistance; much obliged.

    Yeah, a lot has changed from the 1.1 version — https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/upgrading-buddypress/ ;)
