After all that heart ache, I just activated all the components, even the ones I didn’t care for (like activity), and pow! Messages and friendship requests now work like a charm. Still can’t create groups, but thats no biggie, I will continue to figure that out.
Can’t thank you enough for taking the time to help.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I will begin the process of seeing if a plugin is interfering with the buddypress function.
Just FYI, I tried it with the default BP theme and it gave me the same message.
When I installed BuddyPress I never got the “install wizard” the codex is talking about. I installed Buddypress about a year ago for a few days and now am trying again, could this be an additional clue to why it’s not working?
If so, how do I get the installation wizard to pop back up? (I’ve deactivated, deleted buddypress, and reinstalled with no installation wizard coming up).
