In addition, once you're logged in the "welcome back" message at the top right displays "Welcome back, http://mysavehereclub.com/members/terryg/" instead of the user name. The code looks like this:
This only happens on the Blogs MU theme site, which is the BuddyPress site. Is this a theme issue or a BuddyPress 1.5 issue? I'm hoping it's a simple theme update.

I'm fairly sure this theme hasn't been updated yet for 1.5 if it hasn't please don't update your theme yet. Not all our themes have been yet but all will be shortly.
OK, updated the Blogs MU theme and figured out that you need to check the child theme files for updates as well and move those out. This fixed the "Welcome back" problem but the .../login/ url is still taking users to the Members Directory page instead of the login page. (see above)
Did more research, specifically on the issues with creating the login page (you-need-to-create-login-page-in-page). So I deleted my original Login Page and created a new one, making sure to use the Members Login template. Even when I click View Page or Preview Changes from the page editor it still takes you to the BuddyPress Members page.
So I checked to make sure the Members page wasn't using the Members Login template and it was not.
OK, renamed the template, per instructions above, and then edited my Login page to use the "new" template. If you use the "hardcoded" link ".../login/" this now finds the Blogs MU login page. But if you use the "Already a member? login here" link at the top right of the home page, it uses this code: Already a member? <a href="http://mysavehereclub.com/you-need-to-create-login-page-in-page/">Login here</a>
And then the user gets this:
Sorry, we can\'t find the content you\'re looking for at this URL. Please try selecting a menu item from above or to the side of this message to get where you\'d like to go.
Get's a little closer. So, with the new BuddyPress update this seems like it's created a theme issue. Looks like the Blogs MU theme looks for the page-template-member-login.php file, doesn't find it and fires an error?

How can I fix this?

Still need to fix this. Thanks.

hi terry
seem like the page-template conflicted with members slug.
try rename page-template-member-login.php to page-template-custom-login.php
and rename the
<?php
/*
Template Name: Members Login
*/
?>
to
<?php
/*
Template Name: Custom Login
*/
?>

hi terry
you need to reasve the page with custom-login template choosen.
cheers
Member — 26th September 2011 #
Yes, I did that initially and just did it again making sure the page was using the new Custom Login template. Still get the same results.

Looks like it still is not compatible with BP 1.5… the login still does not function correctly and the HTML editor is also messed up.

hi guys
i just updated the theme, the latest 1.2.9 should fix the template slug and $wpdb->prefix for the
custom login issue.
cheers
