Ok I gave it another chance as I didn’t have anything to lose really, and this time it’s turned out ok. I think what might’ve been doing it was that with my previous installation, there was an option to enable buddypress theming, forums and groups on all blogs, which I ticked and this time I didn’t.
Thanks for your help
The activity/post issue is known and has been fixed for BuddyPress 1.5.1 (not out yet). In the meantime, either do this https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5187/ or include the default theme’s javascript into your theme.
What did Brajesh say to fix the first problem?
For the 2nd, look at the two points under the Theme Information heading on https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/
You probably need a SMTP email plugin
When you say can’t send out emails are you on a server that has been set up to email? I ask this as you may not be.
Also what happens on activation does it just not send out?

hi again Paul. I’m using CosmicBuddy theme and I was able make the blog link work now as suggested by the creator of the theme.
So now I’m missing the member settings area. My wordpress is a single site and the subdir is bp/. The page is blank when i try to go to /bp/members/admin/settings and /bp/members/admin/forums. Thanks again for your help.
@acurran – This does not work for me. Please test.
Whoa, Just updated to 1.5 current version and this issue started to happen again 
I’ve checked and the file mentioned in https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4939 is “updated”, some clues on where can the error be? Thanks!
What theme are you using? Are you using multisite? What’s the name of the subdir that you’ve installed WordPress into?
I recently switched from a different social notwork plugin, to buddypress and not everyone has logged back in. When people go to search for other people the default is last active and people dont realize that and then think the person is not on the site because the system thinks the person has never been active so it doesnt display the user
How can I one time make everyone active
Hi! Paul. Here’s my settings – http://min.us/mbbV1psM8BDy
i’m using wordpress 3.2.1 and buddypress 1.2.10 …can anyone tell me how to prevent these errors?
Invalid UTF-8 sequence in argument in /home/mydomain.com/web/public/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php on line 106,
its working for me.
/*
Theme Name: BP Child
Tags: buddypress
Template: bp-default
*/
body {
font-size: 30pt;
}
That’s the content of wp-content/themes/style.css.
i just installed buddypress for my jobsite- .JobsinnigeriaToday.com which is for Jobs in Nigeria, i installed it and it seems i cannot send out messages or activation mails, pls what do i do?
Try this tutorial:

Please test on a dev environment first!
Just so you’re aware, there are a few 1.5 bugs that have popped up regarding multisite installs:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3602
A ticket is already filed for this:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3604#comment:2
A dev just needs to get to it when they have the time. Just got to twiddle those thumbs for now!
There are two ways to resize the width:
1) Set the “maximum embed size” in the WP Media Settings Subpanel
2) Set the $content_width variable in your theme’s functions.php
`if ( ! isset( $content_width ) ) {
// Change 640 to whatever the width of your column is
$content_width = 640;
}`
I am a little confused about WP Multisite and where to put my BuddyPress community.
I test installed BP on my current WP blog but it wont work well with my custom theme, even with the Template Pack, it literary lays on top of each other. I uninstalled it.
I would like my “community” to be separate from my main blog/website, it could even use a different template that works better with BP, a basic template that I could customize to look similar to my main site. At the same time, my community will be based on the topics and contents of my main blog and I would like BP to be able to show recent posts from my main blog and for the community users not to have to create two login accounts.
If I install Buddy Press on a Multisite (in a directory off my main domain ie; http://www.myblog.com/community/) ; can I use a BP template without disturbing my main blog theme? Can my blog and user logins be linked to my BP community or does it have to be installed on my main WP blog to do this?
What are my best options here? I look forward to using BuddyPress as my community. Thank you!
Paul, so right off I see errors with the call to a non-existent header image (I replaced it with a invisible gif and it is now solved) and adminbar.css.
With adminbar.css:
I’m using a child theme and I have its style sheet setup to import this way:
/* Inherit the default theme styles */
@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css );
/* Inherit the default theme adminbar styles */
@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css );
That’s where the error is coming from. Reading over some of the changes to BP 1.5 i noted something called enqueued css. I’m not familiar with it really. If I just delete those two lines will that style sheet still inherit the parents style sheet? Deleting those lines does resolve that final error.
@fswd
There is no option for a left sidebar. However, in the next couple of days the site is to change. Thanks everyone for your help. All robots have gone too.
