After looking around a bit, it seems that just changing the default memory allocation in wp-settings.php solves this problem. I ran into this while testing, however, so I was able to just reinstall WP and change this setting, then install BP and BBpress again.
This actually sounds like it might be the root cause of my own issue.
After installing BuddyPress, I am getting the following error in my Dashboard under WordPress Development Blog, Incoming Links, and Plugins
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/herzsage/public_html/wp-includes/class-simplepie.php on line 14271
I’m not sure how it’s eating over 30MB to begin with, but the symptoms are there (no BBpress tables or files, Page Not Found error midway through group creation after installing BBpress, etc) and my Dashboard is clearly telling me I’m having memory issues.
However, I never had this problem when integrating the three before. I’m even running BuddyPress off a single-blog WordPress installation because I have no use for Mu – how is it eating so much memory, and what did you set your memory limit at to resolve the issue?
