What is AMU? Some type of import script? If so, make sure that the FIrst Name and Last Name is filled in when importing the user and BuddyPress should pick it up.
To test, try adding a new user from the WP Users screen:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Users_Add_New_Screen
Make sure to fill in everything except “Website”.
Stephanie, can you post an enhancement ticket about this on Trac?
https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket
Login with the same credentials you use on this site.
@modemlooper thank you indeed… and by the by … great respect, you are truly a guru for many of us ! keep looping !
If you want to grab multiple xprofile fields from all members, the best way at the moment to accomplish this is to use a direct DB query.
I was going to recommend the members loop, but you need specific xprofile fields.
@hnla – the problem we looked at yesterday – I noticed the domain name. If you check the trac ticket it’s because the image isn’t publicy accessible (as we’d suspected).
Ok, I ran a test on another install.
If I network activate buddypress, then anything I post on group blogs shows up on the activity stream.
If I activate buddypress on a site by site basis, then only the sites I activate buddypress will send blog posts to the activity stream.
The downside to the second approach is that buddypress asks to have the pages setup on every blog I activate it on manually which is not what i want.
Question:
What is the best way of installing buddypress, where I can control which blogs posts are sent to my primary buddypress activity stream?
– network activate = all posts go to stream
– blog by blog = only active blogs do, but it’s a nightmare having to add bp pages manually to active sites.
Is there a filter I can use if I activate network wide where I can exclude sites from activity stream?
@djpaul,
Thanks for the heads up. I also thought I had a config issue in my local Dev.
@sb0n please provide code from your content-page.php needed for page.php
WP/BP versions? What theme are you using? Is this a new installation or one that has been upgraded? Have you tried re-uploading BuddyPress manually via FTP?
== the form links to gravatar.com. ==
@zackasan Not clear. Do you mean the input area beside the browse button? Or after they click the browse button, somewhere in the box there’s a link to gravatar?
@diegoys it’s related to the Mingle theme. The solution would be available at theme’s site
@robert-tramontano in case you change your theme, we have a list of template-packed WP themes with step-by-step instructions listed https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
== My hosting vendor offers WordPress install through SimpleScripts service. ==
Do not use webhost instant WP scripts as they have been problematic for BuddyPress as well as WP Multisite installations -> https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-and-server-requirements
Backup DB and server files, then start from scratch. Drop DB, upload WP manually via FTP and intall WP.
In the meantime, all BP-compatible plugins listed in our plugin section are hosted at WordPress.org https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=buddypress
What am I missing about my efforts to install and activate BuddyPress v1.6.1 from its ZIP file into my hosted WordPress v3.4.1 blog? When I try to use WP admin to obtain and activate BuddyPress, I get all sorts of complaints. (I’ve tried to get screen shots of the messages, but they are not very readable. I’ll report otherwise if someone tells me how.)
My hosting vendor offers WordPress install through SimpleScripts service. I have an out-of-box WP installed and want to add BuddyPress.
Yes, I’m a new-bee to WP and BP, but I’m pretty technical in general.
Thanks in advance,

I just setup a fresh install of buddypress on a multisite setup.
Now I only activated buddypress on the primary site, and not network wide.
Problem:
When I publish a post on another blog site, the new post is not showing up in the activity stream.
Is this the way buddypress is supposed to work now?
*Was I supposed to network activate buddypress in order to get the activity stream to show blog site posts from other sites?
*If not, do I simply activate buddypress on the sites whom I want to have their activity show up in the activity stream? (that would be best if possible!)
Ok I will have to get back to this when I can think clearly I am really burnt out with this right now, I appreciate the help @mercime and I will update this topic after I can take some time and try to analyze the files in the current theme and then apply the template pack to the new theme and see what I can do. Thanks 
I read here: http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2012/06/19/buddypress-1-6-beta-1/ that BP 1.6 is supported on WP 3.4+. I had 3.3.1 installed (the one that’s in the Ubuntu 12.04 repositories). Upgrading to 3.4.2 fixed the issue.
Hi!
I run a music community which has grown rapidly the last nine months and I’ve hired a freelancer to help me out with CSS, BuddyPress related issues, adding functions etc. Unfortunately that person is no longer available, therefor I’m looking for someone to help us out!
So, we’re looking for someone with:
* WordPress & BuddyPress knowledge and experience.
* PHP and html/CSS knowledge.
* Communicates well.
Also a bonus if you know your way around MySQL and general server issues.
We generally need new features added, or bugs and errors sorted once or twice per month. Sometimes even more regularly. We’ve got a huge site update to be implemented soon as well! Payments are made per feature added/bug fixed and are discussed and set before each project. While this is a hobby project of mine I run a company building websites and platforms, so there is definitely potential to expand if you’re looking for work in the future.

Thanks @Trailmix5.
Yes I’ve read your post a couple of times and the tips and responses.
I am not using DAP. I get the same result logged in as a user or administrator ie
– users added directly into WordPress after BP installation show up under their not very friendly username; they have no
– users added before BP installation show up with display name, have profile pages and prior existing meta data shows up on profile page.
Anyone have an idea? @mercime?
[I note in the OP I said “When logged in as one of the new users:” – this is confusing and should be ignored. I thought for a moment there was a difference in behaviour between admin and new users but there is not.
Thanks for any tips.

@mercime
I uploaded the bp folder manually the first time.
The admin bar only disapears while going through the setup process on the themes selection. Every other admin screen is fine and the public pages are fine when logged in.
I just cant get through the bp setup process. The wizard stalls out.
Searching on the BuddyPress plugin page (http://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/) is not updating results.
The url is updating to http://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/?search=login on a search for “login” but the “Plugins Matching ‘login'” tab content is the same as the recently updated.
Hey @mercime, thanks for your help !! : )
