Sounds like you are having javascript issues.
To determine if the issue is caused by your theme, try switching momentarily to a WP theme like 2016.
Also check your browser console for errors and your site’s error-log.
The Media tab is always visible if you are logged out.
The change needs to be made in your theme.
You should ask the theme authors how to make that change for logged in users – especially since it is a premium theme.
Questions about premium theme are outside the scope of these forums.
That is not default BP behaviour.
BP does not create a page called ‘My Account’.
It sounds like it is due to your theme or some other plugin.
To test, try deactivating other plugins and switching momentarily to a WP theme like 2016.
There are a few ways…
For example, you could just use usermeta instead of xprofile to store the data.
And show the field in wp-admin > users > edit
Then you don’t have to juggle a hidden ( to non-admins ) xprofile field on the edit screen.
@bonjarvis – thanks for the update. It is most often the case that the error is caused by code outside of BP – but determining the cause can be tricky. Momentarily deactivating plugins and/or switching themes is a solid first step.
I’m not familiar with RCP.
And multisite can get complicated.
But BuddyPress is free, so you can experiment.
You may want to network-activate BP, as opposed to installing it on both sites.
Sorry I can’t give you a detailed explanation re why your subnav item still loads the listings.
Here’s an overly simplistic one…
Due to how BP handles activity ( ajax ), you’ll need to create your content ( and suppress the activity listings ) via custom code in the activity template that you’re already overloading.
