You’re right that BP is a plugin, but we don’t really take over any of WordPress. We extend some parts of features found in WP — for example, user profiles — but we don’t take anything away. BP and other plugins work together fine.
Was there a particular concern you had?
Just checked ,… Whenever i log into my sub sites … i get the following errors in my log file===
WordPress database error Table ‘wp_multisite.wp_3_bp_user_blogs’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT b.blog_id) FROM wp_3_bp_user_blogs b LEFT JOIN wp_blogs wb ON b.blog_id = wb.blog_id WHERE wb.public = 1 AND wb.deleted = 0 AND wb.spam = 0 AND wb.mature = 0 AND wb.archived = ‘0’ AND user_id = 0 made by require_once(‘wp-load.php’), require_once(‘wp-config.php’), require_once(‘wp-settings.php’), do_action(‘init’), call_user_func_array, bp_init, do_action(‘bp_init’), call_user_func_array, bp_setup_nav, do_action(‘bp_setup_nav’), call_user_func_array, BP_Blogs_Component->setup_nav, bp_blogs_total_blogs_for_user, BP_Blogs_Blog::total_blog_count_for_user
===
Any idea what is this about?

Hey guys,
I’m having the same problem as well; I got this link. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-pending-activations/
I just got it so haven’t tried it yet. its an older version plugin so i dont know if it work yet but hopefully it helps all of us.
Thanks for the help, does this even work for wordpress 3.4.2 and buddypress 1.6.1?
Troubleshoot using https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/check-email/
If things were working last week and they aren’t working now, then something must have changed. Usually this issue is caused by bad MX records, but it could stem from 100 other things.
It wouldn’t hurt to check with GoDaddy.
Also try using https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ and sync it up with a Gmail account.
BuddyPress requires that users activate their accounts after registering. The activation link is sent via email to the registrant. It is likely that either your php mail configuration is messed up or that the email in question went into the user’s spam folder.
In any case, you can use this plugin to manage activations: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-pending-activations/
– If you prefer to hire people professionally, then you just need to find kind persons that good in moderating discussions, familiar with your niche, and also familiar with WordPress (familiar with BuddyPress is a plus).
– Many sites choose some of their most active members to be a moderator. Just find and promote them to be moderators.
– I believe shared hosting is enough to start.. Requirements will grow along with your members / activities progress and your site complexity.. Also read: https://buddypress.org/about/requirements/
(But anyway, it would be great if you learn how to use dot / period to separate sentences in a paragraph 
)
Good.. I think linking to wordpress.org would be great too
I am having the same problem:
I am trying to upload a picture from my computer for an avatar. Size at 50×50 and 100×100 , 300×150 the pictures upload fine, then the crop picture button and select box, after expanding the selection box for cropping ( the section to be cropped shows up next to picture) clicking crop picture button, refreshes the screen and produces this error .. There was a problem cropping your avatar, please try uploading it again. Tried this multiple times in both current versions of FF and Chrome. Same results.
ps. I had buddypress media plugin installed after deleting the problem was the same.
A bit more background, tracked back the location of the avatar pictures – wp-content/uploads/avatars ; The owner and group on the dir, subdir, and files are siteower and siteowner just like all of the other folders and files – the directory was set to 755 and files to 644; there were jpgs in my avatar folder for all my attempts at adding an avatar. Just to see what happened I changed all the files to 755 and attempted another upload, same error and the uploaded file had the permission set at 644.
Process details:
The upload worked , then the crop function fired and after including the full 100×100 image in crop selection and clicking crop. The Same “here was a problem cropping your avatar, please try uploading it again.” Error came up again.
Any suggestions?

@kanat007 This is basic WordPress function. Go to wp-admin Settings > General and go to the line where you can enable registration (off by default) and Save settings.
Same problem here… I install wordpress, running the DB locally through MAMP… everything works properly… Then I install buddypress, and when I activate it the browser always gives me the message “the server may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly”… Help please!
Have you checked out BuddyPress Courseware? Should be what you’re looking for I think.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-courseware/
No. Only option would be to use WordPress multisite and allow users to create a blog/store
Hello all,
I managed to get it working. Although I still don’t know what the problem was. I uninstalled WordPress entirely from my server, then proceeded to re-install and go step-by-step through the process, using the same style.css as before, and it worked.
Ye’olde reboot solution!
Cheers.
BuddyPress is no different from WordPress in this regard. You just need to add a sidebar to your header.php. Google “how to add sidebar to wordpress”
Do a Google search for “modify WordPress admin bar”.
yeah but how would I make a small horizontal widget in there so that when we go to widgets in wordpress I would have this option to put something in the widget in the header?

I still don’t completely understand what you mean.
bbPress Site Wide favorites don’t appear in the profiles at all yet, they will in 1.6/2.1. Same with topics and replies that are posted from within wp-admin. It sounds silly, but I didn’t feel it right to trigger activity updates when posting in the dashboard while bbPress 2.0 was still new. So these are less bugs than they are unfinished features.
Mentions work, and appear in activity streams and trigger notifications. testbp.org runs a vanilla install of everything, and they work there without issue.
The database update is a prompt you see in your dashboard. If you don’t see the prompt, then there’s nothing that needs doing.
So if I am understanding correctly, topics made in the backend of wordpress for the sitewide forums will not show under the forums tab in the members section?
I have also created a topic directly on the sitewide forums, not in the backend, named introductions. However if I look under my profile, at forums: it says no topics found.
So somehow the topics created in sitewide forums do not show in the members pages.
Is this an unfinished feature or a bug?
Cause it’s kind of hard to keep track of the published topics right now.
No database connection. Please re-install your WordPress and make sure it is in working order before installing BuddyPress.
== other not ==
Then use a regular WP theme for the other blogs.
Re: avatars not showing in sublog
– That is an issue. There’s a fix that worked for some https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4252
