BuddyPress.org

I have upgraded WP from 3.0.5 to 3.2.1
I have upgraded BP from 1.2.6 to 1.5.1

I disabled all plugins both, plugins and mu-plugins, and restored them partially to determine which ones were causing issues.

I also commented out my functions.php theme file which is including files with function for the core site.

I have now come to my theme and have found that as I comment out Buddypress functions I get more and more of my page to display which makes it seem to me that Buddypress is not active or its functions are not available to my core blog.

I am working on a local test environment and have transfered the database and all files from the live site. I had to do some special upgrading to the database due to the database was originally an upgrade from WPMU and I am trying to align it more with WP multisite.

In the network admin section of the site it shows Buddypress is network activated. In the site admin I do not see Buddypress as a listed plugin, is this normal?

If I run the default Buddypress theme all seems fine with the site. So it seems something specific to my theme needs to be updated. I will continue to hammer at the theme. Commenting out pieces and uncommenting pieces till I find the root of the issue. Just looking for any feedback or ideas I can try to verify that Buddypress is indeed not the issue and that it is defiantly something in my theme.

After writing this is seems obvious to me that it is an issue in my theme and Im going to focus on that, just looking for feedback and thoughts from you all. Better then spinning in circles if I dont have to.

Thanks for your thoughts and feedback.
