Actually, it seems the whole thing is inactive (everything shows (inactive) next to the name in the editing section. I can see it all on my website, I can create groups and edit my profile, but everything shows up as inactive. And if I uninstall and reinstall the Template Pack, I can never start at Step 1; it goes straight to Step 3 with no option of starting over
Not sure why you’re attempting to edit the bp-core-signup.php file. This is something you should not be doing!
First, did you enable registration on your BuddyPress site?

Where are you seeing this “inactive” string?
Ok, I got it mostly fixed. The only problem I’m still having is that http://domain.com/register still does not work. I’ve copied everything over from the plugin directory into my theme’s directory. Every other link (activity/groups/forums) works. But /register doesn’t, and it is still listed as inactive in the plugin editor for BuddyPress: Editing buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-signup.php (inactive). Please help. What’s the use of a community plugin if I’m the only member?
Yes, I’ve made sure anyone can register. But the /register link still does not work. I’m not trying to edit the php file, I’m just noticing that it’s one of the few that’s not listed as active.
Aaaand now it’s working. It’s “dentist syndrome:” your tooth only hurts until you get to the dentist’s office. Thanks anyway
Cool, glad you got BP up and running.
As a rule of thumb, it’s usually not recommended to try and edit a plugin’s source file unless you know what you’re doing!
