@Erich73 On WPMU, the user database is shared between all sites. The user registration is executed on the main blog. In Welcome Pack’s case, there’s not a lot of difference therefore if it runs sitewide or on a per-blog basis, so I set it to run sitewide just in case there is some unusual way that WordPress user accounts can be added.
Here is the official thread on the new plugin 
Download link is there as well. I haven’t tested CubePoints with WordPressMU.
Im using buddypress 1.2.3 and wordpress 2.9.2
The problem is that my activity stream shows the wrong username for the comments maid in the blog. For example, the user “x” makes a comment in an entry, but the activity stream and the profile show that user “y” did that comment. I t is happening with all users that post a comment, in the activity stream it shows that user “y” did the comment. User “y” it is not the admin, its a whatever account of a user. And in the entry the name of the user is display correctly.
But other kind of activity. Like when a new entry is post by the admin, it does shows the name correctly or that a user create a new group. I havent modified my bp-activity file. So, any ideas?
Have you created a network in WP 3.0?
You have to do this first before you can enable user blogs.

Hi.
I’m having problems with the activation of buddypress.
I get this error:
Fatal Error: Could not activate the pluggin
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/mammabl1/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-blogs.php on line 231
This happends when im trying to use a Norwegian translation file that i have created.
Have the newest BuddyPress (this is my only pluggin), and the latest stabile release of WordPress MU.
I had to delete my last installation of BuddyPress becase when i activated it (with a wrong
version translation file) the whole backoffice became white – no links, no Nothing..
I did not delete anything in the database when i uploaded the pluggin manually again to
try it with my new translation file. Should I do that, If so, what should i delete?
Can somebody please help me out here alittle? This is starting to be really frustrating
LOL, I have been trying to get this to work for a few days now..
Ok I am a newbie,I did get buddypress setup and working,including the forum,I can post a new topic but I cant upload a photo to it.There are NO options but to SAVE message,cant unline,bold ect.I have installed 2 plugins,but niether allow me to do anything but save.I am not sure if I am installing the plugins to the buddypress directory or to the wordpress.Any help would be appreciate.Oh I can go to account and upload and save a photo.
FYI, Today I updated SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam for latest version of buddypress 1.2.3 compatibility
SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/
This plugin adds CAPTCHA anti-spam methods to WordPress on the comment form, registration form, login, or all. In order to post comments or register, users will have to type in the code shown on the image. This prevents spam from automated bots. Adds security. Works great with Akismet. Also is fully WP, WPMU, and BuddyPress compatible.
The screenshots were from an old version. I have updated them. The CAPCHA looks nicer now.

Today I updated it for latest version of buddypress 1.2.3 compatibility
I got all this working fine. See http://culture360.org Using WP 3.0 beta-1 and BP 1.2.3
Three things:
1. upload_path option in wp_options as per my post here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-and-wordpress-30#post-48806
2. .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
3. My quick fix for the avatar size issue as per post here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/avatar-upload-issue-1#post-50231
HTH
Looks like in BuddyPress 1.2.3 the avatar size check is not compatible with the WordPress thumbnailing function.
If you look in bp-code/bp-core-avatars.php, function: bp_core_avatar_handle_upload()
there is a getimagesize() call. That actually returns an array, not a single value so the if statement will not evaluate correctly and the code will always attempt to create a thumbnail. If that fails, the wp_create_thumbnail() function returns a WP_Error object, hence the message some are getting.
here’s my modded code to fix this issue:
/* Resize the image down to something manageable and then delete the original */
/* HACK made some changes to check image parameters more carefully */
$_size = getimagesize( $bp->avatar_admin->original['file'] );
if ( $_size[0] > BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_WIDTH ) {
$_thumb = wp_create_thumbnail( $bp->avatar_admin->original['file'], BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_WIDTH );
// Need to check if upload succeeded - issue with small files!
if ( is_object($_thumb) && get_class($_thumb) == 'WP_Error' ) {
bp_core_add_message( sprintf( __( 'Upload Failed! Error was: %s', 'buddypress' ), $_thumb->get_error_message()), 'error');
return false;
}
$bp->avatar_admin->resized = $_thumb;
}
HTH
Users are finding it very confusing to manage their profile in two places :
wordpress-mu/…/wp-admin/profile.php and /wordpress-mu/members/…/profile/ , /wordpress-mu/members/…./settings/ the last two being buddypress options.
The scenario is that eah has his blog (wordpress-mu) so that they like to have ‘About Yourself’ widget in the side-bar in the blog, while they will like to change the user nick which can be done at both buddypress and wp-admin, however changing the nick is not global, which it should be.
Is there any module or is there any way so that users can manage all their profile related detail in one place?
Within their own profiles? Not that I know of.
However, if you use WPMU, your user blogs could use some WPMU-compatible e-commerce plugins such as eShop or Quick Shop.
eShop – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/eshop/
Quick Shop – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-shop/
Hope that helps!
Does anyone know if there is a plugin that allows users to create there own store within their profiles on buddypress?..if there isn’t how hard do you think it would be to make? I want to make my own using paypal to tie it all together, but I am concerned with the security. Do you think it would be safe for someone like me with small to medium amount of experience developing plugins for wordpress/buddypress, especially e commerce plugins? I do have quite a bit of general programming experience.. So what do you think?
Yup that’s right.
The other thing is you might need to ensure that CubePoints is loaded as well.
Try something like this in your cubepointsbp() function:
function cubepointsbp() {
if ( function_exists( 'cp_init' ) ) {
//your ninja code
}
else {
// display error message
add_action( 'admin_notices', 'cubepointsbp_error_msg');
}
}
function cubepointsbp_error_msg(){
echo '<div class="error fade" style="background-color:red;"><p><strong>CubePoints for BP requires the CubePoints plugin in order to work. Please deactivate this plugin or activate <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cubepoints/">CubePoints</a>.</strong></p></div>';
}
Untested… but see if that works.

Thanks everyone for the responses! Now I have a better understanding of how the different components work together!
In order to keep the stickiness of people coming back to my website when someone replies to a comment of theirs on the WordPress Post side.. I reactivated my Comment Reply Notification plugin for WordPress so now people get notified by the BuddyPress stuff as well as the WordPress Stuff!!
Just as a side note, my website has over 168,000 comments on it and I attribute that to my use of the comment reply notification plugin that I’ve used for the past couple years. Glad to see that BuddyPress has those notifications built in!
I’ll most likely add the Forum Reply Plugin that you mention r-a-y as well. Thanks for the useful post! And thank you all for your help!
Next up.. getting my BBpress skinned to look like my site and getting that darned BuddyBar to work
I’ve made it so that my assets get put into a folder called files and it has the 777 permissions.
PHP Version 5.1.6
bp_comment_author_avatar() should work when used in the comments section of a WordPress blog post or page.
What Boone said.
Blog-related stuff is handled by WordPress.
Activity replies are handled internally by BuddyPress.
I would recommend what glamgrif mentioned and that is to disable the activity stream for blog comments and forum posts because the activity stream and blog comments / forum posts are independent from one another.
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/faq-how-to-code-snippets-and-solutions#post-37843
You could try replacing blog comments with the activity stream:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-as-blog-comments/
For forum replies, you could use a BuddyPress plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-activity-stream-subscription/
Boone, that answers my question I believe.. BuddyPress will NOT email you if someone posts a comment reply on the WORDPRESS side.
Then why is the option on BuddyPress called “A member replies to an update or <b>comment</b> you’ve posted”?
Are the “comments” in BuddyPress somewhere? Are those posts in the Forum considered “comments”?
Thanks Boone!
D Cartwright, how is my show considered NSFW? I have over 300 million views on YouTube and they wouldn’t allow my show if it was not safe for work!
Thanks glamgrif! As Boone said above, I think the WordPress side comments don’t get email notifications from BuddyPress.. or is that not correct?

IMPORTANT You will need to install CubePoints (at least version 2.1.1) first.
This plugin is just extending the functions of CubePoints into BuddyPress. Which is the only points/reward system for the single WordPress install. So right now this only works for single WordPress install, not WordPressMU … at least not yet. For that to happen you need to speak with the creators of the CubePoints Plugin.
Here are the default settings.
Group Creation 100 Points
Updates/Replies 5 Points
If a user deletes there own update/reply it removes 5 points.
Friend Request 15 Points
Friend Request Accepted 15 Points
New Group Forum Topic 20 Points
Group Forum Post 5 Points
Uploading Avatar 5 Points
Sending a Message 1 Point
Other Plugin Support
Link Added 5 Points – Requires BuddyPress Links
It also uses the CubePoints logging system. You can update how much the points are worth by updated the file here:
/wp-content/plugins/cubepoints-buddypress-integration/cubepointsBP.php file.
@r-a-y Thanks you so much for helping me get this plugin created!
Add the points your members have earned in there BuddyPress profile. Plus it shows a donate link and rank + image (if enabled in CubePoints). Here is the how to.
Want to give points for people that contribute to your Simple:Press Forum (SPF) using CubePoints? I’ve been using this method for the past few versions of SPF and it still works. Only downside is that you need to edit the file again after you upgrade SPF. It’s actually pretty easy, you just need to modify 1 file.
Here is the how to do it
