Hi everybody,
did anybody install multisite (1.4) with buddypress (1.2.5.2) and the "BP Default Template"?
I tried, and the main blog looks fine, but any sub-blog doesn't. Please see http://www.familie-stracke.net (works) and http://www.familie-stracke.net/amelie-rosemarie (doesn't work). Seems there's something wrong with the template; though the wp_2_options-settings says it's "bp-default" turned on.
Anybody any idea, what to do?
Thanks for any hint! Thomas

Sorry, it's "Themes", not "Templates", what I'm talking about (tried Joomla before, sorry, wasn't very successful). And it's not a Buddypress-matter - I turned BP off, changed the Theme into "Twenty Ten" for the sub blogs, - same thing, doesn't work!
The links to my site itself won't work, too; so here again:
Please see http://www.familie-stracke.net (fine) and http://www.familie-stracke.net/amelie-rosemarie (doesn't work).
strackus, what I see right now is that you're using bp-default theme for both main site and subsite.
First, instead of using bp-default theme, create a child theme of bp-default theme and activate that.
Second, you do not need to activate bp-default theme for subsite/subblog unless you were planning on ... ?
If you still want to use child/bp-default theme, then you have to allow BuddyPress to function on multiple blogs of a WPMU installation, not just on one root blog, so that you won't have errors in second site. Add this to your wp-config.php
define ( 'BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG', true );

Dear mercime,
thanks a lot for your reply, I'll try using a child-theme (I already noticed that "child" matter in the description of some themes, if this might help me, perhaps?) . Anyway -
did I understand this right: child-theme on main site, and child theme on subsite? (sub-blog; didn't intend to use subdomains, so only difference would be the url: familie-stracke.net versus familie-stracke.net/amelie-rosemarie/ and so on.
Second, you do not need to activate bp-default theme for subsite/subblog unless you were planning on ... ?
What should I have planned, then? I intended that this site should become a "family-site", where each registered member of my family or friends of should be able to create their blog on its own. (So far, this should even work without Buddypress, but Buddypress looks fine, too.) However, 'look and feel' of any blog should be the same, only difference content and url.
I'll try a little, now (and then go to bed; children were a little laborius...

What should I have planned, then?
A friend meant, this sounds a little annoyed. Sorry, if so; this was not meant, rather: what could have been planned (hope that's better - my english isn't very good).
I also did this "enable multiblog"- thing; but didn't notice an effect. But this is probably because I didn't manage with the "child"-theme, yet.
Will log out now, am working (supposed to...) ;-)
okay, to clear it all up for both of you - it's not a theme issue.
mod_rewrite is not reading the htaccess file, so it does not matter what theme is there, wordpress cannot find the stylesheet becasue the url is not getting written properly..
strakus - go tell your host you made change to your htaccess file and they aren't being read. they will know what to do.
