Great guys thank you for your great help, I will continue on with what you have told me!
I’ve kept looking and looking but I can’t seem to find the code which produce a link to the latest post of a topic.
Can someone in BuddyPress team share what is used in this buddypress forum to link the timestamp to the latest post? 
Thanks for the confirmation, meta caps in future releases will definitely make buddypress more powerful and customizable.
By the way, I found out on this site (http://shinephp.com/delete_users-wordpress-user-capability/) that on single site installs, wordpress checks whether user is a super admin or not based on the “delete_users” capability.
So, if anyone is planning to make someone be the admin of the buddypress, you can assign “delete_users” capability to that particular user (using your fav user role plugin).
Though, they will have access to (obviously) user deletion and some other plugin settings which checks for “is_super_admin”.
In my case it’s okay because the one I’m assigning the role to is a friend. I just don’t want them to have access to core/plugin/theme update&installs (is there anything else I should be concerned when indirectly assigning someone as super admin by the above method?).

@mercime @hnla Spammer Alert!
After updating to BuddyPress 1.6.1 (BP is on a secondary site on a sub directory 2 site network), the WordPress ‘Register’ link redirects to the BuddyPress blog creation screen and not the registration page. I updated BP from 1.5.6. WordPress is 3.4.2.
To try to find out what was happening, I installed two test sites on the server, both with virgin installs of WP and BP. I did not install any additional plugins so the sites are running standard basic installs. Both sites are running WP 3.4.2. On one site I installed BP 1.6.1 and the other BP 1.5.6. (Permalinks are set to Numeric).
The following is in the wp-config.php file:
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );
$base = ‘/test/’;
define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘sannyasnews.org’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/test/’ );
define( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2);
define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
The result you can see from these links:
http://sannyasnews.org/test/
http://sannyasnews.org/test2/
The first site (test) has BP 1.6.1, the second (test2) has BP 1.5.6 The sub directory were BP is active is called ‘now’ in both cases. If you follow the links above and then click ‘Register’ (under Meta) you will find that with the first site (test), the ‘Register’ link will redirect to http://sannyasnews.org/test/now/blogs/create/ whereas the second site (test2) will redirect to http://sannyasnews.org/test2/wp-signup.php.
It is possible that there is a bug with WordPress but this only manifested when I installed BP 1.6.1. I believe the same thing happens with BP 1.5.7
Any help greatly appreciated.
Deactivate the other plugins esp Events Manager where I recall seeing an issue with BuddyPress in WP forums. Check if you can create groups now.
I also see the following in the error log:
Sep 20, 20:25:14 PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /home2/lifewiy0/public_html/cn/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-template.php on line 236

As for the plugins:
* BP Multilingual
* WPML plugins
* Events manager
This is new installation, I did not do any changes to any of the files from the error log.
@godleuf Using BuddyPress can be a good solution for property managers. And yes numbers 1-7 are all checks. Site Admin can be someone from the Corporate office. Each group can renamed and represent each property and the Group Admin/s can be renamed and show respective property manager/s. And “members” of each group are the respective tenants for the property. If the properties involved are more sophisticated than the one-level management set-up, you can even go multisite and choose one from two BP MultiNetwork plugins.
An experienced BuddyPress developer can set up, recommend free or premium BP/WP plugins to invest in for the rest of the site or even create the plugin from scratch.
@ansidious My condolences to the family and friends of the man who passed away. On BP 1.2,8 — bp-default theme, Lines 51 through 77 show the generated menu items in header.php file https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php where the dev could have changed the slugs and other URL
The best solution is to move content to a dev server piece by piece, get everything right and then just trash the current db. BP has come a long way since 1.2 and you don’t need to hack the core as much to customize it.
Hi! I am working with a real estate company that needs a separate system for property managers to communicate amongst themselves. I have listed some of my clients requirements below and I’m wondering if BuddyPress could be my solution.
1. No proprietary software
2. Property managers and tenants would be able to post information to this site and is for the use of site-specific tenants only, not for public consumption. Tenants or the property manager could post information, up to 15 contacts per building.
3. Things we would like to post would include a calendar when contractors will be on-site (fire inspections, window washing, etc.), when the building will be closed for holidays, and when there will be special events or extended hours.
4. It would also be a place to post information such as weather warnings, service updates (i.e. the elevator or heating system is under repair).
5. Include contact information – other tenants in the building, property manager, maintenance.
Anything else that needs to be communicated to the tenants i.e., parking changes, security issues, janitorial requests.
6. RSS Feeds or email notification to let the people in a specific group know if something has been posted to the portal/property site.
That’s mostly it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Problem is solved
by updating php5.2 to php5.3 
I’m also having this issue, has anybody figured out a different solution?
I tried David’s suggestion but it didn’t work for me.
I’m running WP 3.4.2 and BP 1.5.5. I have created over 150 groups, and really hope I don’t have to rebuild all of them.
Thanks!
Thank you for your quick responses! I had tried updating both WordPress and BP, but both instances crashed the site and I had to re-upload the site. Later I found comments with in the previous designer’s php comments recommending not updating. It is difficult because the site was super customized by this guy and he has recently passed away. I will try to find the correct code to remove in the header.php. Do you have any suggestions on what to look for in the code that might speed this process up?
Ok i Will try re-install buddypress.
Thanks for your help!
== Call to undefined function get_header() in /htdocs/myfolder/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/blogs/create.php ==
@dasteralo2 try re-uploading the BuddyPress plugin folder manually, via FTP/cpanel/filemananager etc. Also, I assume you’re using bp-default theme just to check out the functionality of BuddyPress. If you want to make any revisions, you should be create a child theme of bp-default theme and make the revisions in the child theme
@giannisff you can create a special template file named => home.php and upload it to your child/WP theme folder in server. You can create everything from `<!DOCTYPE ….. down to closing ` in that file. For example, no need to add get_header as long as you have the doctype, head, body tag and the code in that file. And same goes for get_footer as long as you have the closing body and html tags there
== The plugin buddypress/bp-loader.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist. ==
@prolet What Paul said. Activating BP Template Pack plugin wouldn’t in any way cause that error. We have successfully “template-packed” more than 80 WP themes in this forum alone https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes
Wordpress : 3.4.2
Buddypress : 1.6.1
Hello,
I’m trying to set a buddypress site, Im quiet new to buddypress and don’t understand how to change the “join group” and “leave group” button to replace them with images (one for “join group”, one for “leave group”),
Ive reached some forum but dont really see what Im looking for, if someone can give me a hand please ?
Thanks in advance,
Oli
== BP version. 1.2.8 / WP version 3.4.1 ==
@ansidious I have to say it, BP version 1.2.8 is compatible with WP 3.1 and you should be using at least BP 1.5.7 with WP 3.4.1. Cool to know that you could still push BP 1.2.8 to WP 3.4.2 
== My issue is that I can create and edit menu items in the admin of wordpress, but I can not find for the life of me the menu items created with BuddyPress ==
Since you[re still on BP 1.2.8, the menu is hardcoded in the header.php file used by a bp-default child theme or a WP theme with BP template pack.
bp-default supports custom menus since BP 1.5
