@mercime – Thanks for the info. I was also wondering that about the WP.org forums. 
Is this (https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/) the right place to put a buddypress.org feature request? It seems awkward, since I am not requesting a new feature be added to BP core. I have never submitted a BP ticket, so I want to make sure I start off on the right foot.
== What it doesn’t show is whether or not someone replied to my reply. ==
I know what you mean, ala WPorg forums. We don’t have that notification nor custom view at this time for the group forums. I use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscrioption/ for own sites.
Not sure whether a feature enhancement for the aforementioned will be entertained at this time because come BP 1.7, group forums will be migrated/merged with sitewide forums. If you feel strongly about it, you can open trac ticket for this.
This sounds like a basic jQuery+WordPress question and not necessarily a BuddyPress-specific question. You will need to do a couple of things to pull this off:
1) Enqueue jQuery
2) Write/copy-and-paste a jQuery script that limits the number of characters in a specific field. Then enqueue that script
Start here (https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script) and know that there will be a bit of a learning curve!
@c930586 Might be that something went wrong with the compatibility process. What WP theme are you using? We have a list of around 110 “template-packed” WP themes at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes with different instructions based on the HTML structure of each theme.
@mrm222 @rickkumar just to clarify
BP Multi Network plugin = multiple instances of BP within multisite installation with different groups, activities, etc. but with shared users across the network.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/
BuddyPress Multi Network plugin = multiple instances of BP within multisite installation with different groups, activities, etc and different users per subsite. (can be shared users but you’d have to code it yourself or hire a developer to do so)
BuddyPress Multi Network
Here are a few options I thought of off the top of my head:
1) You might consider using a “membership” plugin. I don’t have a lot of experience with them myself, but I think one of the features of some is the ability to use a “key” to register (think of it as a password). You could give them the “key” at the end of your survey.
2) If you are savvy with code, you can likely pass a query string via the url bar as well if your survey software allows it.
3) Password-protect the BuddyPress registration page. You should be able to do this via the WordPress page editor. You could give all the participants the password.
Right, I used that plugin and was not able to get it to work. Content from a sub site shows up on other subsites.

Hey, I just saw the reply to this ticket. (Sorry about the time it took to reply)
Regarding
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4573
I’ve done several fresh installs of WordPress, then installing the BuddyPress plugin using (Mamp).
Using WordPress 3.4.2. / BuddyPress Version 1.6.1
When I post activity (either on my localhost or my live site)
The Activity time is right BUT
Several Hours are added when I visit the Activity panel inside my dashboard “wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-activity”
I use the dashboard Activity because of its search and dates.
I would even assume it does this in http://testbp.org/activity/ but the Dashboard activity panel is hidden. Let me know if there are any fixes or if I need to re-clarify anything. Thanks for your help!
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/ though I haven’t checked it with BP 1.6.1 and WP 3.4.2
As the mightymo mentioned above, you can create a sidebar/widget area in the header of your theme. Read how http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/05/26/the-complete-guide-to-creating-widgets-in-wordpress-28
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?
You can create a new ticket in trac for this enhancement https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket

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!
