Bump
It would be nice to get a response please.
@Paul Gibbs
Thanks for your answer!
1) I did complete the install Wizard ( the one consisting of 6 steps, right? ).
2) I am on my own machine running Wamp ( Windows + AMP ). My site has a URL in a form http://localhost/wordpress in a web browser.
As for permalinks, I’m not quite sure what you mean. When I was asked for permalinks in the install Wizard, I checked “Year and month” option: year/month/sample-post. In the permalinks section of the Settings in the Dashboard I checked “Year and month” as well.
So what do you think? Maybe the fact I’m running BuddyPress locally causes such results?
Did we AND WordPress remove backpat for that function??
How is this related to BuddyPress? It seems, it’s supposed to be posted on wordpress.org forums.
BTW, do we have featured image on BuddyPress? Am I missing something on 1.5 new features?
An old version used to bypass WordPress registration process, so logins via Janrain could create accounts on my wordpress/buddypress. But latest versions fixed this problem (since It’s sort of a security hole). Since then I stopped using it.
If the plugin works for WordPress, so does BuddyPress. 
Josh, thanks for the link. It mentioned: “If you’re using any other conventional WordPress theme (TwentyEleven, BP-Default) and find the default template layout of bbPress acceptable, you don’t need to do anything at all – it should just work.”
So the message in Appearance isn’t an error just informational. I’ll just ignore it then.
Still hoping for a response. Before this reply was 13 replies which is bad luck lol. So is there some way i can remove the “leave a reply” and where would i find this in the bp-default theme?
By the way, I’m using wordpress 3.2.1. My template is equilibrium by MadeByOn.
Why do you have BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG enabled? Do you really need it? (You only need it if you are going to be using a BP theme, with groups, members, etc, on more than one blog on the network.) If you comment that line out, I bet your wizard will start working.
That said, the fact that it doesn’t work for BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG could be a bug. I’ve opened a ticket so it can be checked out. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3600
@MajinSaha Hi. Did you complete the Install Wizard after activating BuddyPress? What type of server are you on (linux, windows)? Does your existing WordPress site use permalinks with “index.php” as part of the URL?
@braindeadave
Yes i now know its the default theme for a fact because i went my file manager(public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes) replaced the current theme to the former buddypress theme extracted it and went back to the homepage and the leave a reply not add a reply does not show.
I can confirm this.
I also have a fresh install of the latest wordpress and buddypress 1.5. The page creation and editing page is missing the…

I have spent a while fiddling around with this. Even installed a couple of third party modules to try and force it but nothing’s working. I can only assume this is something that has been turned off in the core.
Hope this helps.
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

“I can’t able to fully understand your problem but I have some solution may be useful to you. Your Problem is may be of WP_MEMORY_LIMIT.
in wordpress root folder open wp-includes/default-constants.php
on line define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’32M’);
change it to 64M or more.”
Clearing cache makes no difference and there are no errors. Could be a WordPress issue I guess. Just wondered whether anyone had encountered anything like this before.
Thanks anyway, Paul.
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.
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.
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.
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:
