First off I am using Wordpress 2.9.2 and buddypress 1.2.3 and recently tried to install the BP Daily template but I am having problems. I have followed the instructions and both BP-Daily and BP-Daily-Child are located in my /wp-content/themes directory but once I activate either one I lost access to all of my site. When you reload the page or try to visit any of the pages, directories its blank. The only way I can see the site again is by deleting the BP Daily folder. I am not sure what I am missing here but I would appreciate any help. I have installed several other themes without issue. The only other clue I can give you is that the theme does not even display in preview.
If you need to know anything further please let me know.

A blank screen means an error in your error log. If you could copy and paste that error here then we would have a chance of knowing what the problem was. Usually you can get to the log through your hosts control panel.

@jake: If I had one wish it would be to have a big red warning around that plugin it's caught so many people now it's beyond a joke - the information regarding it is misleading so many it's a common problem *end rant :)

Also check through Tammie's theme panic flow chart as it is really helpful - http://buddydress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/THEMEPANICFLOWCHART.pdf

Thanks for the tips, as it turns out it was an offending plugin. Template works great now.

Silly question but which plugin are we talking about?

@drmike the template pack http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/ way it reads can easily be mistaken by some that you need it for any theme.
