Dennyhalim-

I just took a quick visit to the Hoard Hunter plugin page. This is what is says about:

Hoard Hunter is an online treasure map game designed and developed for people who would like an easy (and fun) method of fund raising online. The system comprises of a custom plugin and integrated theme. The Hoard Hunter site is powered by WordPress MU (though the system will also run on standard WordPress) and uses a number of WordPress plugins to provide additional functionality.

My First thought is that I would not even attempt to use this with BuddyPress. This looks like a complicated plugin that relies on many other plugins and its own custom theme to do some complex stuff. It is ripe with problems waiting to happen.

Also, it is not clear if this plugin suite, as it really should be considered, works with WPMU 2.7.1. You need to contact the developer and ask. There does not seem to be an activity on that plugin’s thread for almost 6 months and the images do not load on the website. This is never a good sign.

As is stated above, Hoard Hunter is a “system [comprised] of a custom plugin and integrated theme” and it relies on “a number of WordPress plugins to provide additional functionality”. You are dealing with a potentially large mess here in figuring out what is going on.

As John and I both suggested, you need to deactivate the Hoard Hunter plugin and all other plugins that Hoard Hunter is using. Furthermore, you need to switch back to the default BuddyPress themes. In other words, to troubleshoot this issue, you need to strip down your install to the lowest common denominator and see if the problem goes away.

So, just using the BuddyPress plugins and no other WPMU plugins, and just using the standard, default BP themes, does the problem go away. If so, you then start working your way backwards, adding a plugin at a time until either everything works or you find the problem.

It could also be an issue with Hoard Hunter’s “integrated theme”.

I hope this is just a development install and not an ongoing WPMU community to which your trying to add BP. If it is an ongoing community, perhaps you should stick with what you have and forget using BP.

If you wish to continue troubleshooting, and you have important data to protect, please make sure you know what you are doing, that you are comfortable with troubleshooting this issue. You’ll need to make backups of your database, your themes, upload directories, plugins–in other words everything. Why? Because there are no guarantees.
