    Hi there,

    I was wondering how you install the theme for buddypress "bruce".
    There isn't a readme file and I see more than just a theme folder.

    Also is that theme compatible with the newest 1.1 version of Buddypress?

    Never mind, I got it working. Just threw both folders in the normal themes map of wpmu.

    Now I run into lots of 404 pages, only with the buddypress pages though.
    I guess it hasn't been modified yet for the new 1.1?

    I have it running here: http://80.56.54.19/

    BuddyPress 1.1 release candidate is available as beta, this version is intended for testing, so please do not run it on production sites.

    Once it is in normal release mode, Bruce will be updated.

    One way to work with it is simply to add a bp-themes folder inside wp-content and place the bp theme files there, then buddypress will load the files auto ;P

    Buddypress 1.1 is out now, I guess I'll follow your way of the old theme setup for now, since I really like the theme.

    Can't wait till you make it 1.1 compatible. :)

    I just sent an email on this topic but I see Bruce is not yet up-to-date. It is by far my favorite theme for BP, and my new magazine website would greatly benefit from it - but I am using BP 1.1.1 :) I still have a lot of work to do on my site, so I'll be patient :) Cheers!

    All BuddyPress themes are update to work with the latest BP version, see → BuddyPress theme page for more info.

    Hi Milo,

    I mailed you with an error message I keep receiving ... a missing file error

    Error message:

    "A user tried to go to http://example.com/wp-content/themes/Bruce/images/button_back.gif and received a 404 (page not found) error. It wasn't their fault, so try fixing it.

    They came from http://example.com/blogs"

    There is no file 'button_back.gif' in the download. I hope this helps.

    I see a few other glitches, e.g. in the date, the enlarge day character obscure half the fullstop after it, images appear visible under the scroll arrows.

    Are these Safari bugs or template bugs?

    You also choose an 'invisible' (no background color) dropdown admin bar for users. I find this visually does not work with many user themes ( it is impossible to see them) and actually breaks them by pushing some elements down but not others.

    I am sure I can fix this in css but thought I should flag it up.

    Is it possible to turn the Buddypress bar off?

    Hi.

    another seemingly missing file not in the /image/ directory.

    A user tried to go to http://example.com/wp-content/themes/Bruce/images/bt_login.png and received a 404 (page not found) error. It wasn't their fault, so try fixing it.

    They came from http://example.com/members/example-member/profile/

    Thanks.

    @nonegiven
    thank you for providing the detailed buglog,
    it's easier now for me to slash the bugs and update the theme, should be done by this monday with a fresh Bruce BuddyPress release.

    safari bugs:
    saf on mac?
    saf on win?
    saf version?

    If other bugs occur, pls post them here, then I'll fix it. ;P

    Safari bugs are related to the absolute positioned BuddyPress admin bar, can be surpassed with a file named bp-custom.php, drop it into the plugin folder, what can/should be in the file:

    <?php
    define ( 'BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR', true );
    define ( 'BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG', 'streams' );
    define ( 'BP_BLOGS_SLUG', 'journals' );
    define ( 'BP_MEMBERS_SLUG', 'users' );
    define ( 'BP_FRIENDS_SLUG', 'peeps' );
    define ( 'BP_GROUPS_SLUG', 'gatherings' );
    define ( 'BP_MESSAGES_SLUG', 'notes' );
    define ( 'BP_WIRE_SLUG', 'pinboard' );
    define ( 'BP_XPROFILE_SLUG', 'info' );
    define ( 'BP_REGISTER_SLUG', 'signup' );
    define ( 'BP_ACTIVATION_SLUG', 'enable' );
    define ( 'BP_SEARCH_SLUG', 'find' );
    define ( 'BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG', 'updates' );
    ?>

    point one disables the admin bar,
    the following points do rename the typical BuddyPress urls for BuddyPress related pages, no need to use if not wanted ;P

    Hi Milo,

    just a quick note to say great themes.. But I'm having a lot of trouble trying to install New Yorker on a Buddypress 1.1.1 / WPMU 2.8.4a setup.

    There is no installation documents with the download, so I've uploaded the theme to wp-content/themes - however, when I activate the NewYorker theme and select it as default the site disappears.. I get "the white screen of death"

    Could you explain to me how I should install this please?

    Hi,

    I have my hosting with GoDaddy, didn't realise I needed to disable plugins, server setup is php5.x, mySQL, apache..

    Will try disabling plugins and let you know!

    All seems to work ok now, except for a few long title / layout issues (my fault not the template!)

    Thanks for the swift reply :)
