IF wordpress isn’t sending any emails (ie they’re not in spam or junk folders) it may need an extra plugin – see https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/frequently-asked-questions/
Or try https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ to help diagnose where the issue is and add some extra settings to fix it…
Hi, I’m confused about how to find my own topics on buddypress.org. As mentioned above, the “My Topics” link is broken, and when I look in my own profile I can’t find anything in the Activity tab no matter what filter I choose. I’m also not getting notifications on replies to my forum posts.
I am getting notifications when I’m mentioned in an update: but when I click the “To view and respond to the message” link in the notification email, I get a 404.
I have all the notifications set to Yes in my settings.
hi there modemlooper can you help????
@Paul Gibbs If I install BP 1.2 until 1.5.1 is released, will the user data be lost?
@mercime I found the plugin causing the problem and deleted it. But now the comments are not working. Whenever I click on the comment button, I get a text box and space to type. The moment I click on Post, I’m taken to a page which says: mysite.in/activity/reply does not exist.
You need to activate BuddyPress first. Second, select Twenty Eleven theme. Third, install BP Template Pack and go through the BP Compatibility process.
= I installed buddypress 1.5 and a few plugins. ==
Deactivate your few plugins except BP and see which conflicts with comment submit.
The question is, is there any way to use Google Apps with WordPress. BuddyPress doesn’t touch any user authentication parts. Good idea, let us know what you find out
I was experiencing this problem, having changed “Name” to “First Name” in a 1.5 beta release.
I didn’t test profile editing until after upgrading to 1.5, but when I did First Name was displaying the username, and would not change when edited.
Following @jaunmaguerrero, I changed the field back to “Name”, then changed again to “First Name”, and things started working again.
Ok, I just installed Buddy Press yesterday and had the same issue. First, it wouldn’t show up after normal install. So i went into the buddy press settings and setup the forum there. Still didn’t show up. I was trying to set it up so that it would not have forums in the groups but after adding forums to the groups now it shows up fine. I think by doing that it installed the BP Forum files into the right place.
I hope that helps some.

Mercime, thanks for the reply. I took a look at this page, and it’s helpful. However, I’m not sure: is this process done after installing BuddyPress, or installing the BP template pack? After installing the template pack I see nothing new on the Appearance menu.
I’d say it’s usually not linking to the javascript files when things stop working. Another area would be not updating to BuddyPress 1.5 your theme files but using BuddyPress 1.5. Have you updated those both?
I noticed I’m in the wrong section of the forum. I’ll repost this question there. Thanks.
Apparently it’s an issue with Yootheme’s buddypress compatibility plugin (called Warp Buddypress). If I inactivate this plugin i do see buddypress pages, as you can see on this other site with buddypress and a yootheme template installed : http://www.v-les-visiteurs.fr/members. As soon as i activate the plugin, the template shows correctly but no Buddypress pages 
Well, I guess it’s an issue with Yootheme, and my subscription just expired so I can’t ask for their support…
To be honest just put in the theme files probably is the lightest / speediest solution. Google lets you know where in the code to place things – put that in the footer.php before the closing tags it says.
But, if you are using the default theme for BuddyPress you probably either want to do a child or you want to use a plugin.
I’ve not tried it but perhaps: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/ works – after all if it’s just inserting into the theme files….
Me too!! As I am unfamiliar with BuddyPress I don’t know what I have missed if anything, but I too wanted sitewide forums. Went through the BB-forum install. Now it tells me the forum isn’t installed and also there was a conflict with BP forums page being called forum and also bb-forum page being called forum. I changed one of the pages names – but there shouldn’t be two should there?
