Actually if you check the box beside membership in dashboard/settings before activating bp it will create those pages automatically. However once you activate bp even once without the box beside membership checked then you will need create those pages manually. I just got into a habit of making sure I always had that box checked before…[Read more]

You must be using a plugin, custom code, or theme that adds this because BP doesn’t automatically load more. I put a plugin on github over 2 years ago here: https://github.com/bphelp/bp-auto-load-activity
