I see. I just tried to create a demo account but for some reason buddypress has threw a wrench into things. Before, people where able to just click the register link and choose a username and login which would then direct people to a paypal page before they could access the site.
Now, for some unknown reason, there is no way to access the site at all! You go to register, it comes up with the a buddypress from instead of the wordpress login page. Once you fill it out, it sends an email to you with an activation link. Once you do that, it takes you to the site but it is just as restricted as if you where a non-member and it doesn’t seem like there is any way to actually become a member like there way before. I’ll take some screen shots and post links.
Problem occurs exactly when the author credit in the readme doesn’t match a wordpress.org user account name. I’ll let Boone police his own groups, but if any plugin author has this problem, I’m happy to fix.

Making a theme compatible with BP isn’t I’m afraid a one click process and there are some manual steps that must be undertaken and that do require a little coding knowledge – although not much.
These two pages in the BP codex will help you, the second probably the best one to read through fisrt.
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/
If you haven’t already performed the extra manual steps outlined in these pages you will need to have a go and if you get stuck post back with where you’ve got to and someone will help out.
a good thing to do is renaming the plugin folder to “plugins_off”. This disables all the plugins.. so you can see if the problem is located in a plugin. Logging needs to be set up: https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Configure_Error_Log
Also try to follow this guide if want to start over. This is a pretty solid method:

I’ve create a sudir “community” on my sub site of my main WordPress multi blog/site. I uploaded BP plugin on my server in the right folder but I don’t see the activation lable on my control panel.. why?
How can you tell if there is a javascript issue?
I don’t think that would be possible, but, there is always a plugin for everything.
To achieve what you are talking about, it would require ajax to load 3 pages without re-loading the page? Yeah, the wordpress logout requires the standard wp-login.php?action=logout action, to dump that into an ajax js would be pretty difficult.
You can see what I am talking about, if you go to your site, and click the “Log Out”, the wp-login.php?action=logout will appear, than redirect to the homepage.
But it would be still worth checking around!
P.S, if there is a plugin that does this, I would expect it to conflict with alot of other plugins.
@sayhitoarvind This is not a BuddyPress issue. It’s more like the WordPress Anyfont plugin is messing up your multisite installation. Similar to a multisite/anyfont issue I saw in WP.org forums https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-anyfont-issue-after-enabling-multi-site-in-wordpress-304?replies=2
Do resolve the Anyfont plugin issue with the plugin developer and also any multisite installation issues at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite before installing BuddyPress. You need to have a stable and sound WP installation before installing BuddyPress, otherwise it’s going to be a rocky road.

Does anybody have any ideas?
There are plugins you can choose from WP repo which will help you with that. Google results
I don’t really know how to tell if it does 
Sorry
Does your web browser report any JavaScript conflicts?
I use WP Super-Cache and WP Minify just fine. I would use W3TC but I use multisite functions like switch_to_blog alot – i mean alot – and they just aren’t supported by the plugin and it won’t be until WP3.2 that switch_to_blog is compatible. Once it is I will go back to W3TC, – – maybe — ever since I’ve been waiting for it to work I’ve been getting Super-cache/WPminify and a few other tricks to get my sites almost as fast or just as fast as I had them with W3TC. I’m currently testing out FV Gravatar plugin for gravatars https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/fv-gravatar-cache and I’m going to do CDN next since WPSupercache does have a CDN feature. Overall, I think Super-cache has been more Multisite friendly and more user friendly as well.
… and so you open up your instyle’s page.php file and compare the HTML structure of that page file with the HTML structure of the template files transferred to your instyle theme folder during the BP template pack process.

Only way your files can get written to is by someone getting your FTP passwords or has access to server. That is easily done if you get a virus/malware on your computer. Is somebody else accessing the FTP on another computer? Also, bad themes and plugins can do this as well. NEVER use a plugin or theme that was not from a reputable developer or from the WordPress repo.
You most likely have a trojan on your computer that stole your FTP passwords. If you are on a windows PC take a sledge hammer to it and get a MAC. <– just kidding. You should run some anti-virus and change all your passwords ASAP.

I tested it out with yahoo and hotmail and my own email through pop3 and imap.
I suspect it is something to do with WordPress, but I dont know where to look. I feel as though one of the files used to send out emails has been altered by one of our programmers. We uploaded the original files our programmers had changed but that didnt work either, so Im still stuck.
Umm.. any more ideas?
Thanks a lot for your help man.
Very strange. The fact that you’re having problems with the email notification of blog comments shows that this is not a problem with BuddyPress, but is some combination of your server, WordPress, and possibly Yahoo Mail.
Have you tried reading the problematic mail through another method? POP3 or IMAP? Or maybe the same email sent to another provider like Gmail? At least that could rule out the mail client.
You might be interested in CloudFlare. This will help with security as well as CDN. In the meantime, there is a plugin for wordpress that will help you analyze load times:
