@richardpd check out http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/security/best-practices-for-preventing-buddypress-spam-user-registrations/ plus tips from commenters as well.

@nirok thanks for posting the solution for your installation. This issue has started cropping up lately with some installs with different soutions for some like reinstalling WP/BP.

@edgarestradac What theme are you using? Let’s see if we can help. Open up your theme’s header.php, copy all, paste in pastebin.com, click submit, post the generated pastebin.com url here. Do the same for your theme’s page.php, index.php, sidebar.php, footer.php files.

@willhendy,

I have this issue as well. I have a primary site with BuddyPress enabled and configured and several subsites with BuddyPress enabled and configured.

Did you Network Activate BuddyPress or activate it on a site by site basis?

If you network activate BuddyPress is it automatically setup (but not configured) on all subsites.

@edgarestradac We have “template-packed” a number of WP themes with instructions/fixes on Step 3 of the BP compatibility process. Check if your WP theme is listed already at the bottom half of this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

1. No, you don’t need to install bbPress plugin aka Sitewide Forums as well if you don’t need it in your specific installation. Having said that, know that per roadmap, come BP 1.6, group forums will be migrated into Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin). For installation of Group/Sitewide Forums https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

2. BuddyPress is a WP plugin, so no problem there at all. I test on XAMPP so I don’t know what challenges you face on a WAMP server, maybe someone can chime in on this one.

Did you check out BP Codex – to start off:

Sure they can post on single WP. You just have to upgrade their default role from “subscriber” to at least a “contributor” (needs your approval before post is published) or an “author” (can publish right away) and they’ll post from the backend (wp-admin Post > Add New).

Or, not change their roles and use Simple Front End Post plugin http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-simple-front-end-post/

And/Or, just allow them to post in Group’s blog using this plugin http://buddydev.com/buddypress/blog-categories-for-groups-plugin/

I suggest that you also post at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/u-buddypress-forum-attachment

The users need to login to kick that count into accurate life.

I hope you back up your database regularly.

To clarify, un-activated user accounts will show in WordPress, but not in BuddyPress.

Sounds potentially @boonebgorges -ish; ping

you need wordpress multisite for that. Some host offer the possibility to automatically install multisite with softaculous. If you hosts doesn’t do this you need to do it manually here you can find the information. https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

This theme is not available. Did you try and search for a free or paid theme that accomplishes this?
