Can’t be said often enough, backup DB before upgrading and watch out for WP and add-on BP plugin compatibility as well.
@djpaul great news, so Buddypress 1.6 must be awesome. Yes, I tried to install Super Cache now on BB 1.5 and get some bugs.
@djpaul, @mercime Hi, Thanks again for your help. This issue is still unresolved. Could one of you (or anyone) please swing back by and assist? This is a fairly major issue for me. Thanks.
1. WordPress (without BP) only has three required fields for members – username, email and password. On the BuddyPress registration form these are required fields. it also requires a name and any other required fields you choose to add to the base group.
2. The best place to find documentation is within the code. Not exactly what you wanted to hear, but theirs not really anything as in-depth as you can find within the comments scattered throughout it.
Thanks for the suggestion @shanebp but it didn’t seem to work. I think its because its missing the globe call for `global $pictures_template;`
Any ideas how to tie this in?
Cheers
When a major release (such as 3.4) of WordPress is released you should be wary of updating WordPress if BuddyPress has not been updated yet as their are usually major changes.
When WordPress releases Minor releases (such as 3.3.2) it’s very rare that their will be any breakages as they are primarily used to repair bugs and fix security issues.
I personally wait an hour or two after a minor release for the core devs to do some last minute testing before i upgrade my sites (the BP devs are pretty quick to get a release out if something does break.)
If I can ask the opposite. I see WP have an update at the moment. Should we update WP when we see there is an update available. I would be worried the BP installed (I have the latest one) will not work with the newest WP.
Are you still at ixwebhosting? I just set up a new BP install there. Edit – Deactivate plugins via FTP by renaming plugin folder and change automatically to Twenty Eleven by renaming the folder of the theme you were using when you activated BuddyPress.
I figured it out by going through a plugin that creates groups. The bottom part of the above code can be replaced with:
$saved = $new_group -> save();
if ( $saved )
{
$id = $new_group->id;
groups_update_groupmeta( $id, 'total_member_count', 1 );
groups_update_groupmeta( $id, 'last_activity', time() );
groups_update_groupmeta( $id, 'theme’, ‘buddypress' );
groups_update_groupmeta( $id, 'stylesheet’, ‘buddypress' );
} else {
return false;
}

1. Create a Network in subdirectory structure
2. Set which blog ID BuddyPress will run on: For example, your new sudirectory, /network is the first subsite you created (therefore with ID #2), then add this to your wp-config.php
`define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2 );`
3. Install and activate BuddyPress. Go through Installation Wizard.
4. Install and activate https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/threewp-broadcast/ where you broadcast posts from /network/ into main site which will have a regular WP theme. Author link, if theme dev added it per post, would link to main site’s author.php/archive.php file which will list author’s posts in main site only and will not link back to /network/ site.
Should you have any issues with ThreeWP Broadcast plugin, please post at WordPress Multisite Forums or at plugin WordPress.org
Simply put I had to disable and enable the components in the buddypress menu. everything appears to be working fine at this time.

Again thanks for your solution.

I would avoid using WP Super Cache with BP until we get 1.6 out. Even then, I’d recommend giving page caching a miss. I think we have cache invalidation issues somewhere.
In a nutshell, if you’re on BP 1.5.x versions, you need to be on BP 1.5.5.
If you’re on BP 1.2.10 or older, you need to be on BP 1.5.5.
I don’t believe their are any specifically for BuddyPress, however any WordPress theme can be transformed into a BuddyPress theme with the BP Template pack (1) and their are afew WordPress themes around. Including AuctionPress (2), and Sitemile Auctions (3).

@d3v4 – A detailed list of security updates other than searching through the changelog at what was changed is non-existent to protect those who for whatever reason is unable to upgrade straight away.
Thanks for your reply 
With “require”, you mean that BuddyPress won’t work at all if WordPress is not updated too?
Not sure if its Multisite compatible, but have you tried BP Mobile?

@ashokgolusu – BP Albums 2.0 (Renamed to BP Media) is supposed to include that feature but it is still in a WIP (works in progress) state.

@xenoflare As I see it, you’re using the bbPress Twenty Ten theme that’s bundled with bbPress plugin. I recommend you create a child theme of Twenty Ten, copy over the styles there, and activate. Then run Appearance > BP Compatibility and keep the bp.css and js enabled. The instructions for Step Three of BP compatibility are in page 2 of the link I posted above.
