haha! dude, the issue got resolved when I updated to Buddypress 1.5!!! Now I only have one new question:
The blog post with the BP update mentions oEmbed is now used in activities and so on. How do I embed images in forum, groups and activity updates?
Ok i made 2 screenshots of 2 different sites i have with 2 different versions of buddypress. Hope this makes a bit more sense of what I’m referring to
Budddypress homepage with buddypress 1.5

This is buddypress with buddypress 1.2.10

During the upgrade everything was fine, but I can not run the Wizard.
I noticed that the paths in the wizard links are without the “/network/” which ends up directing me to an error page.
How solve this issue?
I use WordPress 3.2.1 configured to mulstisite.
BuddyPress won’t be interfering unless something’s gone terribly wrong. Turn it back on, clear your cache, try to click the widget buttons again. If it doesn’t work, then look at the javascript console in your web browser, and do let us know if there are any error or warning messages.
I’m running WP 3.2.1 and just upgraded to BP 1.5.
In the admin panel the widgets will not expand so cannot be edited. Also, when trying to add images to posts, half the pop up box is missing so I cannot post images.
It is the same with no plugins activated. If I disable Buddypress, WordPress is fine.
Any ideas, anyone?
I currently have a WordPress (3.2.1) site integrated with a BBPress (1.0.3) forum.
I would like to end up with a WordPress plus Buddypress installation while retaining all the posts from my forum.
What’s the best way of going about doing it? Should I:
1. Install Buddypress on my current site and choose the “use my BBPress installation” option for the forum?
2. Upgrade my current BBPress installation to the newly-released BBPress 2 first?
3. Do it some other way I haven’t thought of?
The reason I ask first instead of getting my hands dirty and doing some testing is the database the site runs on is pushing 1Gb and I haven’t had any success creating a duplicate site for testing on.
Yes @BooneGorges has it correct.
I forgot to add that i removed the WordPress that i had with Buddypress 1.5 and manually started again with a fresh install. i went over to WordPress.org and download the Buddypress version 1.2.10
Previously everything buddypress 1.2.9 was like before. no “add a reply” was visible.
But before i added Buddypress 1.2.10 i just checked with the default WordPress theme twenty eleven.
I selected sample page as my homepage and sure enough “add a reply” was visible. So that’s where i get the feeling that the buddypress default theme is acting as a regular wordpress theme.
@mercime thanks! that look great with my header image, actually that edit alone can go on published child theme named ” buddypress centered ” 
Following the tut here, and placing `define ( ‘BP_GROUPS_SLUG’, ‘gatherings’ );` in my `bp-customs.php`
Nothing changes, I have tried most of the slugs mentioned in the tut and none seem to work? I know this method did work prior to 1.5 so is it maybe a bug or have they been deprecated?
Also my bp-customs works because I have implemented a custom translation file.
lol i am sorry for my newb question and not making it clear.
Step by step of what i did .
1.Originally i downloaded WordPress manually uploaded. Set up everything manually.
2. I manually uploaded Buddypress 1.2.9 set up everything. I then went to dashboard/settings/reading
Front page displays- I selected a static page (select below) I selected for the Front page > sample page.
Then i went over to dashboard/pages/all post, selected “sample page” renamed it “main” .
3.Then i went to home page. The “sample page” which is what i selected as my homepage would show up As the home page. So whatever is on the sample page i would remove and re-edit. On the bottom of the page would just show “edit this entry”.
4.Today i went to my site i saw that i had updates. So i updated to the latest buddypress1.5 .
that’s when everything changed. My home page had “add a reply” as if it were a regular WordPress blog. Or on a regular WordPress page you’d have “add a reply” on the bottom of the page.
So on the sample page which is what i set up as my home page. Would look just like that on a regular WordPress page. With no Buddypress installed.
If you’d like i could make screenshots.
Maybe. If it’s a case for a manually added page, you’d have to turn them off, so that makes a bit of sense. The pages the Upgrader adds have comments disabled automatically.
@cupid4 sure.
#navigation {
text-align: center;
}
#nav {
left: auto;
margin: 40px 20px 0 20px;
right: auto;
}
bojankibebe – we have no such ID’s in bp-default so can’t say what’s going on with your styles
Maybe @echoman means that comments are enabled on his pages? Not sure why this would differ between BP 1.2.10 and BP 1.5.
Thanks so much Paul, line found finally, and did the job so well, and I posted a ticket too:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3597
I would love to use Karmatosed’s solution but as I wrote above, don’t know to accomplish that exactly.
Also my php memory limit is 256mb so I don’t suspect a problem there…
I did go through the wizard. I have headway with the buddypress addon installed (it was working fine before the update).
Well.. there you go. BuddyPress 1.5 won’t work in the front end until you complete the installation (or upgrade, in your case) wizard in the backend.
Accessing admin functions, which I assume to mean wp-admin, are probably more likely to be “broken” by a third party plugin that hasn’t been updated for BuddyPress 1.5. If you can look in your server logs, you should find some clues
I can’t even understand what exactly you’ve done, or are trying to do. Helping you will come in due course
For the second time: In your WordPress settings, what have you set your “show as front page” to? If it is a custom Page, in BuddyPress’ Component screen, what component have you mapped it to?
Hoping for a reply i downgraded to 1.2.10 and th sample page looks like before edit this entry, and there is no “add a reply” like on buddypress 1.5 default theme. So i am assuming default buddypress 1.5 theme is acting as a wordpress theme. Please please please tell me what i can do or is there going to be a fix?
@linusf
For now we have upgraded the plugin to work correctly with WordPress 3.2.1 / BuddyPress 1.2.9
We gonna update soon our platform to bp 1.5 so should’t be a problem to upgrade
I’m trying to contact the author throughout his forum but still hasn’t got any answer.
We gonna wait a bit and clear up the code and the documentation, and in case we gonna apply for the plugin group
I’m posting here the url to the github repo just for easy consultation:
https://github.com/piermariacosina/bp-profile-privacy
@mercime is it possible to “center” the menus the same way?
What theme do you have activated?
Have you gone through the BP upgrade wizard? There should be a “BuddyPress has been updated…” message on your Dashboard or your Network Admin panel.
Try renaming the folder wp-content/plugins/bp-template-pack to something like `bp-template-pack-backup`. Then try again. That’ll give you a sense of whether the problem is being caused by the template pack. If nothing else, you can do the same thing for the buddypress directory as well.
After upgrading to the latest BP 1.5, did you walk through the installation wizard?
