I have wordpress 3.5.1, buddypress 1.7, bbpress 2.3
Site installed in an root directory
Need more info?
Think this has been covered in this trac ticket:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4869
this is probably what you are looking for not 100% sure myself if it’s totally compatible with 1.7 but i would assume so:

You need to stop them now, as best you can and delete all members you have in there. A new BP site I have has had over 29,000 spam stopped in the last month. Do not forget WordPress is under a bot attack at the moment.
Firstly, Switch off that any one can register on your site.
Clean out all the spam members. Delete them.
Install Stop Spammer Registrations Plugin from WordPress.Org (Saved my life)
Install Limit Login Attempts
Install capachi plugin and set it up for it to be on when people are registering.
Change your admin name, if it is admin.
Switch back on that people can register on your site.
These posts might help you as the same thing happened to me.

You should never edit the core bp files!
Have you checked that, if necessary, all your plugins are updated to be compatible with bp 1.7
According to buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-1-7-is-now-available-2/page/2/#post-161513 a similar error message was caused by an un-updated plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-followers/ ?
Yes, I consider myself a newbie to WordPress and related programs and maybe this is a dumb question but the level of spammers I seem to attract on my site is seriously causing me to consider taking down my site. I’ve tried to employ multiple spam blockers, including modifying my .htaccess file that checks against known spammer providers, plus using several plug-ins that either ask human questions to block bots and plug-ins to block by IP address etc. and spammers still get through!
What I’m trying to get rid of is this:
The spammers typically avoid making a new Group in Buddy Press and don’t generally mess with forums BUT if you go to Members, sort by activity, the damn spammers add a URL which is clickable and it is the usual payday loan or other garbage. What I find curious from a spammer’s point of view, is this really effective? Who’s going to scan a member’s list and then click on a payday loan site?
My question is HOW or CAN you prevent a new member when registering from somehow adding this crap? I’ve had some clown from Russia add dozens of pages trying to sell illegal steroids using this method. I finally blocked the multiple IP’s and email address this idiot was using. I even got Microsoft to take away his Hotmail accounts.
Adding link to ticket for convenience:

Also the temp fix is probably better placed in bp-custom.php rather than functions.php so it is applicable to BP generically rather than by theme activated.
BuddyPress 1.7 does work with most themes providing they have standard wordpress template structures. There really is no way I see for BP to be compatible with every template scheme out there. There is plenty of free themes on wordpress.org that work fine with BP.
Hi I am using wordpress 3.5.1 plus just installed buddypress 1.7.
All looks great, but on testing registration, no mail seems to be sent?
(I’ve checked spam folders).
Any suggestions?
( I read somewhere that I should check that PHP mailer is installed on my server- could this be the problem?)
I had no problem with earlier installs.
Thanks for the advice.
Hi, I just recently added BuddyPress to my customized themed WordPress website. I am using BuddyPress 1.7. I know which features of buddy press I want implemented into my site I just have zero clue on how to do that. I would like to hire someone to customize BuddyPress to my exact needs.
Depends on if it requires a little wordpress and bp customization but you can try here:
BP Jobs Board
Just remember BP is a wordpress plugin and it requires wordpress to work. Good luck!

Be specific in what your requirements are. List your budget, and as much info you can.

Here goes another plugin that does exactly what you want.

@cabstar
Have you tried this:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/commons-in-a-box/
It may be perfect for what you are doing and hopefully will be updated for BP 1.7 soon!
Find out more about it on the link to the site on the plugins download page.

I was looking for a simple solution for this function and couldn’t find one so I wrote it.
You can download a bundled plugin by clicking here.
I had the same issue and when I tried to install the plugin you mentioned it didn’t work.
After waiting to hear back from the developer for awhile with out hearing back I just wrote my own. You can download a bundled plugin by clicking here.
Sorry there was an error in the above code, that results in a no results dialog error for users who have no posts. You can download a bundled plugin by clicking here.
if ( !function_exists( 'add_action' ) ) {
echo 'Hi there! I\'m just a plugin, not much I can do when called directly.';
exit;
}
define('TCH_PostsOnProfilesVersion', '0.1');
define('TCH_PostsOnProfilesVersion_PLUGIN_URL', plugin_dir_url( __FILE__ ));
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'add_profileposts_tab', 100 );
function add_profileposts_tab() {
global $bp;
bp_core_new_nav_item( array(
'name' => 'My Posts',
'slug' => 'posts',
'screen_function' => 'bp_postsonprofile',
'default_subnav_slug' => 'My Posts',
'position' => 25
)
);
// show feedback when 'Posts' tab is clicked
function bp_postsonprofile() {
add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'profile_screen_posts_show' );
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
}
function profile_screen_posts_show() {
$theuser = bp_displayed_user_id();
query_posts("author=$theuser" );
if ( have_posts() ) :
get_template_part( 'loop', 'archive' );
else: ?>
