It’s easiest if you enable New Users to Register before you activate BuddyPress for the first time, it then creates these pages automatically.
However if you installed BuddyPress and then enabled new users to register then you have to set these pages up yourself, it’s pretty easy, you go to Dashboard>>Pages>>Add New and create two pages, one called “Register” and the other called “Activate”.
Then you go to Dashboard>>Settings>>BuddyPress and click on the Pages option, from here you can associate the BuddyPress Activate and Register Items with the pages you just set up.
FYI, I am setting up a BuddyPress Blog and have just published an article on setting up BuddyPress for the first time, you may find it useful.

I’m going to follow up with testing and configuring your BP site pretty soon.
Thanks for the quick response!
I’ve already created the pages and assigned the pages to each item. Problem seems to be when I click “view” it just shows me a blank page. Am I missing something in the settings that isn’t populating the dynamic Activate or Register content?
Try logging out and then viewing them from the frontend, they don’t display if you are already logged in, though I thought they just took you to the homepage.
Failing that I would try deactivating all plugins apart from BuddyPress to see if there is a conflict.
IF that does not help try changing the theme to 2015.
You’re right, it was because I wasn’t trying it from an incognito window. Thanks for the help!
