Yes, I’m having the exact same problem. Seems like we’re not the only ones. Here’s a possible solution?

I don’t have access to the server side of things for my site (grr) so please let me know if that manages to work for you James. I don’t see why that should still be an issue if you switch back to the BP Default theme, but give it a shot.
The improvement keeps on going further and further. I really appreciate the works you guys have out in. Long Live Buddypress and WordPress.
HI
I did all the stuff in that document – so not sure why none of it’s working?
Buddypress Team, you guys rocks. I love you all, thanks for the good work!
HI
OK – thanks – yes – I did create one and its in use. I’ll check that again, did you see if anything’s wrong?

I help with support but I am just a volunteer like most other folks. I am not a moderator at all. I just pay it forward for all the folks that helped me in the past. There is no guarantee anyone can fix everything but there is a lot of us that is good at fixing some things. So don’t isolate your issue by requesting help from any single individual. I just checked your site and the pages are blank as you stated. Have you created a custom menu yet to associate those pages with the navigation?
Please review:

HI
OK – I’ve done that – sorry, thought you were support. Maybe there’s something I’m missing, or it’s a permalinks issue but I followed the instructions in setup.
Thanks
James
@feeldesign
Create a user with the username: demo and password: demo. Not to be rude but there is many people here that can help you and I don’t want the total responsibility of helping your issue because there is still things I have yet to learn so please don’t request help from just one individual.
thnx for the vid, Boone rocks!
@anton-naydenoff
it seem that you’re working on a local install.
Maybe your local settings for php are not correct. First of all, check MAMP or WAMP or what else, if php gettext module is loaded.
Check also that your wp-config file contains your language definition (wp_lang bg_BG)

Hi
Thanks
I’d already tried that and nothing
Did it again so yo ucan see. The register page link form “create an account” is wrong, the page is http://retiredandkicking.com/index.php/register/ but it’s looking for http://retiredandkicking.com/register/
How do I correct this? Is the register page supposed to have content, as it seems to have none at all
Can I pass login details privately?

Deactivate all plugins other than BuddyPress and revert to either bp-default theme or Twenty Twelve and see if the problem persists then report back here. I suspect it is either a plugin, or theme but I won’t speculate. I just know I have not encountered this and I have about 30 installs on my test server, I do not however have that buddyboss theme so I have no way of testing it so its up to you to see if that theme is the issue.
Thanks
Very odd. I’m not sure what to expect on an install, a lot of the documentation I’ve found seems to relate to older versions, which work differently? However the pages that wwre created automatically seem blank with no content at all.
Really hoping to get this sorted!
W00t! Thanks so much to the BP team! 🙂

Please provide more info when requesting support. See this sticky topic:

Looks more like an issue in your theme from the error you posted.
BP 1.7.1 is now available. Read more about it on the blog.
All right so,
1. I created a new theme folder in wp-content/themes
2. Then I created style.css with the following in it,
/*
Theme Name: The Buzz
Theme URI: http://site.com
Description: Child theme for Buddypress Default
Author: Name here
Author URI: http://site.com
Template: bp-default
Version: 0.1.0
*/
@import url("../bp-default/style.css");
#contentwide
{
margin: 5px 35px 0;
font-size: 1.2em;
width: 880px;
float: left;
display: inline;
height: 400px;
}
body {
background-color: #eaeaea;
background-image: url(../images/background.gif );
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: top left;
color: #555;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif;
line-height: 170%;
max-width: 1250px;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 95%;
}
#site-generator {
font-weight: bold;
color: rgb(54, 54, 54);
margin: 20px 20px;
text-align: right;
text-shadow: #fafafa 1px 1px 0;
}
#footer-widget-area div.widget-area > ul {
height: 110px;
float: left;
margin-right: 2.5%;
width: 23%;
}
3. Added that file to the folder I just made.
4. Activated the Child theme in Dashboard -> Appearance -> Themes
And that’s about it. Nothing happened.
@praisehim
The answer is in my previous response. Most likely its a theme, plugin, or custom code you may have introduced. You may need to revert back to a twenty twelve theme or bp-default theme, and deactivate all plugins other than buddypress. If you created a file in wp-content/plugins named bp-custom.php you also need to make sure the code is between opening and closing php tags like so:
<?php
function remove_xprofile_links() {
remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'remove_xprofile_links' );
?>
Hi, I have this problem: many users of my social network have lost their Avatar and Gravatar. Instead of the original image I can see a broken link icon. Besides this, If I try to upload a new image I cannot do it, It gives me back a black frame. The Avatar directory is the default one, wp-content/uploads/avatars. I can see it if I right-click on the image box, with a sub-directory for each user, I guess, named 1, 2 etc. Should I change this directory and where?
I don’t know why it did happen. First I had forum and users pages on custom directory, but some days ago those links became wrong (I don’t know why), so I turned them to the default pages from buddypress settings/pages
My configuration is
Buddypress 1.7
WP 3.5.1
and many other buddypress-related plug-ins.
Many thanks,
Gabriele
True. I am having the same problem with BuddyPress 1.7 and WordPress 3.5.1. This is definately a bug.

You need provide us with more info before we can aid you!
Hi Team,
I have followed the instructions at this URL: http://buddypress.org/2009/05/customizable-slugs-in-buddypress/ to alter the slugs and labels in my BuddyPress install.
However, when I refresh the Premalinks in the WordPress admin, my changes do not take. I do not have a caching plugin on my WordPress install, and I have cleared my browsers history, cache etc. multiple times.
Please advise. Is this because of the update? I’m really running out of options here.
Thank you for your time.
currently using WordPress 3.5.1 + BP Courseware Version 0.9.7 + BuddyPress Version 1.7 + bb Press Version 2.3.1
firstly, i am not able to see ‘Create New Group’ button anywhere in groups. All the three plugins activated.
Secondly, what sort/ types of questions does BP Courseware caters to?
