I’m having the same problem. Just spent the last 4 hours no luck.. I think the problem may be (with me anyway is) that my “bp-template-pack” (located in the plugins folder) which contains the 6 folders that I moved to the “bp-default” directory under the “theme” folder, also needs the files within the folder “buddypress” (located in the plugins folder).
I get 404 for some, not all pages.
@xsimo that generic non specific upload issue? I’m sure Boone will have endless fun committing a generic fix to cover a vaguely defined issue 
If you really want help, and not being able to upload avatars is fairly critical, I suggest you start a new thread and describe the problem you are having in as much detail as possible along with WP/BP versions and any plugins running.
I have multiple test installs and production installs none have an issue with avatar upload – however your server! can present issues if not configured correctly but that isn’t a fix Boone can commit.
Regardless @crashutah post and not being sure of the meaning of the word “alludes”, I hope @boonebgorges will find time to commit if not in trunk, in a branch a fix for avatar upload problem since my bp install has the same non functional image upload issue and has no common database `key` with wp.org or wp.com
@missyjohn7 Please avoid multiple posts, once is plenty also if you had looked you might have spotted a Jobs Board group where your post(s) should have been placed (granted it’s not easy to find)

@shawnyuan ** when user log into your website, user is redirected to his/her profile. ** when user tries to move to homepage, user is redirected to his/her profile. **
Here’s the BP Profile as Homepage plug-in:
function bp_profile_homepage()
{
global $bp;
if(is_user_logged_in() && $_SERVER=='/')
{
wp_redirect( $bp->loggedin_user->domain );
}
}
function logout_redirection()
{
global $bp;
$redirect = $bp->root_domain;
wp_logout_url( $redirect );
}
add_filter('get_header','bp_profile_homepage',1);
add_action('wp_logout','logout_redirection');
@travel-junkie Mapology is looking stellar! Just checked out the group overlay and wow, way to go! To fill folks in, if a group has many maps/routes, the overlay shows all the relevant routes on a single map to easily see all routes in relation to each other. Brilliant!

Do the following. You will need to edit 2 numbers in the code.
1. Open the php file at /plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-settings.php
2. Go to this function:
`function bp_core_add_settings_nav()`
3. Find this line and change the “10” to “20”.
`bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘General’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘general’, ‘parent_url’ => $settings_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->settings->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘bp_core_screen_general_settings’, ‘position’ => 10, ‘user_has_access’ => bp_is_my_profile() ) );`
4. 3. Find this line and change the “20” to “10”.
`bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Notifications’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘notifications’, ‘parent_url’ => $settings_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->settings->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘bp_core_screen_notification_settings’, ‘position’ => 20, ‘user_has_access’ => bp_is_my_profile() ) );`
i should add that instead of clicking “Dashboard”, as mentioned above, if i click on anything in the 2nd level menu (i.e. “New Post”, “Manage Posts”, “Manage Comments”), i go to the respective pages correctly. no downloaded file… strange.
I don’t know if anyone is still following this thread but I discovered the users with this problem had not activated the account. So I installed this plugin so I didn’t have to keep deleting and recreating these accounts. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-activate-users/installation/
FYI the users either were not receiving the email, or so they say, or the message went to spam or didn’t activate when they clicked the link.
hope this helps.

I presume you’re running WP single; otherwise you’d have a direct link to your dashboard in the “My Blogs” dropdown of the adminbar.
So, simply enter the following in your browser’s address bar:
your-site.com/wp-admin
@jmcdermott
Have you tried the Widget Logic plugin? You can determine the placement of widgets using both WP and BP conditional tags. That means you can create custom sidebars for ANY component, category, tag, post, page, etc… Give it a whirl; it’s a lot easier than trying to code stuff from scratch

I see no one has answered this. I am having the same problem. Completely random and doesn’t matter what role I change the user too. The only solution is deleting and re-creating the user/member id.
If anyone knows the solution to this please let me know.
thanks.
Glad you guys are looking forward to it! I’ll submit it to Codex if there’s a need for it, sure
thanks, i’ll check out the plugin
@bowromir
Dito! I’m looking forward to it as well. .
That will be awesome @bowromir I look forward to it since I’ve wanted to implement it, but haven’t had time to test it all. A tutorial to start with would be great. Hopefully you’ll offer your post for the codex as well and put a link at the bottom of the codex article to your original post.
@techguy @nahummadrid
Your pretty lucky because that’s exactly what I’ve been working on for BP-Tricks. I have one big tutorial I need to finished first, but then I’ll publish a pretty extensive tutorial about using W3 Total Cache and BuddyPress
After much effort to restore the site. I eventually made a backup of the database and installed it into a testdatabase on the same server.
I then updated WPMU to WP 3.0.1 and Buddypress 1.2.6.. Once I completed that I was able to successfully activate Buddypress.
Now my issue is with images links. All of my avatars and images are not displaying. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks…
i second that emotion…plus, I just got another bug popup here. I cannot edit site theme for a member site. I try selecting a theme to be active only on the specific site and it just kicks back after I save…no save. I was getting a message at top from total cache saying something about syncing cache by emptying cache to set things right. I did that but still I can’t activate a theme for specific site.
I’d love for someone who’s using W3 Total Cache successfully on their blog to do a blog post on what/how they implemented it. Or even better would be to create a Codex page on the best way to implement it and which options to turn off. Plus, whoever does it will get the benefit of the communities input on even better ways to tweak the setup.
Any takers?
@sammermpc please let me know if you find out something as well
@hnla – Thank you for highlighting that fact the “?” is supposed to be there – I’ve looked at other bp installs and I see what you mean about the clickable reveal @mention guidance text. I must have just not noticed it before it stopped working.
I’ve just this minute upgraded my Suffusion theme from 3.6.8 to 3.6.9 and this hasn’t made any difference. I had initially upgraded from 3.6.6 couple of weeks ago – this may have been when this issue first occurred.
I’ll highlight this on the Suffusion support forum to see if it is theme related. I’ll let you know.
Thanks.
Mines on MS! But my problems are probably my own causing 
My users can’t post to each other and you cant change avatars its endless login loop If you know what I’m doing wrong would love to know! lol they can update their own page which is good. but alot of functionality not there right now http://www.pandragon.com/members/livefree247/
been having hard time getting it to work!
