A bug. Which version of BuddyPress are you using?
@mrlobaloba Halleluiah! You’re welcome. Marking this as resolved then 
When I edit the xProfile name, back to “Name” it works. Why can’t it have a other name than “Name”?
@nahummadrid marking this as resolved then. See ya!
@roguedjinni did you want the index.php two-column layout (with sidebar -> categories) or the page.php layout with full-width?
== Do you know of any examples that have 1000s of sites, not wp.com? ==
@nahummadrid Well, hundreds to thousands – The Le Monde Newspaper and Harvard Law Blogs come to mind since they’re veterans of WPMU as well. You can also check out

Re sitewide recent posts –
Here’s a plugin for multisite recent posts with avatar – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/diamond-multisite-widgets/ – have used this myself for home page
Found a plugin for multisite recent posts with thumbnails Compatible up to: 3.2.1 – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-recent-network-posts/ haven’t used this so can’t comment on it
@roguedjinni thank you for following directions. Per initial scan, I would like to check out what goes where with the theme-specific codes you have there so that we don’t keep going back to the drawing board in case structure goes awry. I cannot find any online demo of your theme, can you post your site url or another site online that has this theme on?
@scorpiion4984 – you have two options listed below – because of page title. With option 1, the page titles in the BP template files won’t be changed to h1 and will not get the styling from your theme (but you could address this via stylesheet yourself). With option 2, you can get this h1 but would entail a lot of revisions which you would have to keep in mind and redo when you update BuddyPress/BP Template Pack:
1. Create only two files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php and upload to server wp-content/themes/fullscreen
or
2. Download 6 BP template folders from your fullscreen theme folder in server to your computer hard drive and change 16 template files then upload 6 folders with 16 revised files to your fullscreen theme folder.
I would choose #1
@mercime thanks for the response.. would you be willing to do these suggested helps for me? im not really much of a techy guy you see. i am willing to share with you my login info if only you would help me on this concern. connect with me through facebook chat if this is safe to do then, am online now at http://facebook.com/patrick.san
@roguedjinni please start your own topic and post the generated pastebin uri’s there for good nettiquette
== i can’t seem to get the “groups” page and profiles running. ==
@gospelcast looks like you’ve fixed your profiles issue http://gospelcast.org/members/patricksan/profile/
As for the groups page,
– check if groups directory and files were uploaded within wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/
– also go to dashboard menu BuddyPress > Components and double-check if you have not disabled groups component. Re-Save page if you have activated groups component.
– go to BuddyPress > Pages and double-check if you have a Page assigned to your Groups. Re-Save Pages if you have selected Page for Groups.
– go to Settings > Permalinks and Re-Save permalink structure.
– for extra measure, re-upload BuddyPress plugin into plugins folder
Yea, i don’t have any sites with hundreds of subsites. All subsites are limited to 5-10 subdomains belonging to superadmin where there can be multiple authors. So the blogs directory is really just an index of all admin related sites, not so much user blogs. Do you know of any examples that have 1000s of sites, not wp.com?
Maybe I’ll limit it to just the first 5 -10 subsites in the blogs-loop. Or just have a featured set of recently updated subsites that get the image.
I still like the blog_avatar based on post author, you think that switching and getting author avatars is less taxing than switching and pulling latest_post image with dozens/1000s subsites? @mercime
@nahummadrid that’s all right if you have 10 or so subsites.
For installations with dozens to thousands of subsites, switch_to_blog is an expensive function and will cause performance issues. The Sitewide Tags plugin also supports custom post types and custom taxonomies – http://wpmututorials.com/plugins/sitewide-tags-update/ Good luck.
Maybe I’m missing something, but I think that’s the only index I have.

@teorourke Code to the index.php you posted above is a BP template file from /swagger/members/index.php Please post the code of index.php from /swagger/index.php which I use to double-check structures. It looks like you would only need to add two xxx-buddypress.php files instead of revising 16 files but I want to make sure first.
I added the plugin wp-mail SMPT and it worked. I just had to delete the mail-from plugin. Thanks!
@mercime thanks again. I decided not to go the sitewide forums. I’ve not gone there in a while either.
Anyway here’s what I got so far, anyone welcome to help edit it. I figure If i’m able to get the image, we can also get the latest_post’s real author since blog-avatar doesn’t make much since on sites with multiple authors.
` <?php
global $blogs_template;
global $post;
switch_to_blog($blogs_template->blog->blog_id); ?>
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=1&order=DSC');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>
<a href="” rel=”bookmark”>
ID, ‘image’, array(‘class’ => ‘alignleft’)); */ ?>
`
I just fashioned this up “quickly” (took me all morning) to show images. I have to figure out how to find the right image as in fallback from a woo_image to a featured image to an inserted content image. So i’ve got my work cut out.
I don’t know how “expensive” this all is as well, so I figure I get something to work first then we can see if it’s worth it or not or if there is a better way to do it.
Update @mercime
I switched off all plugins besides the BuddyPress and BuddyPress Template Pack and the comments still dont work. It must have to do with my theme so its ok I will disable Activity as its not a major issue.
Still need the second issue resolved though please 
Ok I will try that to see if it fixes the commenting issue. Will let you know.
New index.php – http://pastebin.com/UFHaJ9Lk
New footer.php – http://pastebin.com/Dgdk3Fvx
Buddypress has already made itself wider when it comes to its modules, while the rest of the site is working using the theme.
This is the theme I purchased http://themeforest.net/item/fullscreen-business-portfolio-wordpress-theme/236194
I think this is a bug. I have been facing this issue for a very long time and raised it on this forum and reported to buddypress as well but with no solution as yet. If you try creating a topic under the forum as an non admin user, you might get an error as well.
== Ok I just test the comments with the BuddyPress Default 1.5.5 Theme and the commenting worked. ==
@scorpiion4984 So this means that there is something – theme/plugin – which is conflicting with the JS of BuddyPress for the activity comments. One way to check is deactivating other plugins except BuddyPress and changing to Fullscreen. If activity commenting still works, activate plugins one by one to check which is the culprit.
Re: BP template HTML compatibility issues
– Code to index.php you posted above is that of BuddyPress templates’ /blogs/index.php. What I need is the code for your theme’s fullscreen/index.php
– Code to footer.php is blank
– Your layout is 3 column in http://nationalgamingleague.com.au/main/category/competitions/ , Just to let you know that you might need a wider area for the BuddyPress content like members and group pages, etc. ==> like a layout with 2 column or a full-width layout instead? Up to you though.
.- Also, please confirm, your theme is Fullscreen from Graph Paper Press.

Deactivate the buddypress-group-forum-extras plugin manually via FTP/SSH/File Manager by renaming it to e.g. buddypress-group-forum-extras-xxx
