Are you running bbPress? I had the same issue, and narrowed it down to bbPress. I’ve filed a bug report here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2161
Here’s a temporary solution that worked for me:
`function bp_fix_blog_role($blog_id, $user_id) {
add_user_to_blog($blog_id, $user_id, ‘administrator’ );
}
add_action( ‘wpmu_new_blog’, ‘bp_fix_blog_role’, 10, 2 );`
Just drop this in `mu-plugins` if you want. You can change “administrator” to whatever role you prefer. This function runs immediately after the blog is created, so it will probably solve your problem.
Code source: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-change-the-default-administrator-role-to-author-for-new-users
For those of you interested I’ve found a temporary solution that works perfectly:
`// When a User Creates a New Blog, Force the Administrator Role (bbPress Bug Temp Fix)
function bp_fix_blog_role($blog_id, $user_id) {
add_user_to_blog($blog_id, $user_id, ‘administrator’ );
}
add_action( ‘wpmu_new_blog’, ‘bp_fix_blog_role’, 10, 2 );`
Just drop this bad boy in your `mu-plugins` folder and you’re good to go. If you want a different default role for your users, just set “administrator” to whatever you want (editor, author, etc.). The beauty of this function is that it runs immediately after the blog is created, so it will fix any issues you have during blog creation.

I’m running wordpress 3.3.2 and I’m not using a webhost script.
I have two files bp.css and bp-admin.css, these files are responsible for BuddyPress style, I got them from my old template, I do not know how I have them enter into a new wordpress theme
Looking for solution to allow buddypress members to add attachments (image/pdf/etc.) to forum topics. Any suggestions?
I’ve look at this one but it has not been updated since 08/2011 and this one but group forum is not supported.
Hi;
I’m using the last versión of buddypress and wordpress and I have this problem:
I want the registered users can publish and edit their own posts in the main loop of the wordpress theme. The registered users can publish posts (their default role is Author) but they CAN’T update it later!?, wp display “Uh… No.” error page.
When disable buddypress this works fine. What could I do to make it work?
Thank you,
Roy
When attempting to edit my BP Profile fields I get a window showing the following code.
What is it and how do I fix it?
Thank you.

Using WordPress version 3.5
BuddyPress version 1.6.3
http://www.thecharlottechurch.org
@judym12 There’s only one kind of BuddyPress plugin and it is free even though it’s used by many professionals – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/
Who’s trying to sell a PRO version of BuddyPress? URI? There are plugins built to be used with BuddyPress which are paid or premium or PRO versions, but those are not THE BuddyPress plugin.
I just updated my buddypress to the latest version and went through my pages to make sure everything is running smoothly. Once again I’m having an issue with my forum. It’s not showing up, I went into my setting and followed a few steps from when I had this problem before but it’s not working. These are the steps I’ve done
1. Login to the WP admin dashboard, navigate to “Settings > BuddyPress“. Enable the “Discussion Forums” component and save.
2. Navigate to “Settings > BuddyPress“. Click on the “Pages” tab. Under “Discussion Forums”, select “None” and save.
3. Navigate back to “Settings > BuddyPress“. Make sure you’re on the “Components” tab. Uncheck the “Discussion Forums” component and save.
Edit your “Community” page in WordPress, add the shortcode:
[bbp-forum-index]
So after trying that, I got a 404 page error. So I did the steps again but this time change the page from none to it’s original called “community”. After viewing the community page to see if the forum showed up all I was getting was a blank profile page instead and still no forum showing up. Can anyone help me out please?
Thank you
LOL wow! Thanks it worked 🙂
You have made the pages, right? For BuddyPress to work, you need to create some new pages in WordPress, like “Members”, “Activity”, “Activate”, et cetera. Once you’ve created those pages, you go back to the BuddyPress section and the “Pages” tab and assign the pages you just created to the new sections.
If you’re still having problems, perhaps a walk-through of the BuddyPresss Installation and Setup will help: https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/ It helped me when I first started 🙂
I tried those and still doesn’t work
Cool! Back in the Dashboard, pick settings again and find “Permalinks” in the list. In the permalinks options, choose a link setting other than the default. I prefer the “Post-name” one, myself. After you save your changes you should be set.
BuddyPress requires “pretty permalinks’. mod_rewrite should be enabled
To name some of the more likely possibilities:
- Jetpack
- Bad Behavior
- FV Antispam
- bbPress
- BP Xtra Signup
- Invite Anyone
- Network Latest Posts
- New Blog Defaults
- Welcome Pack
- WordPress SEO
I noticed after posting this yesterday that the form on the registration page (which works) is hard coded into the form, whereas the one on the `/blogs/create/` page is generated by the `bp_show_blog_signup_form();` function. Is it possible that the different functions that are run upon submission (on signup vs. blog creation) are be different enough to make this error occur?
…Maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree…
Thanks for your time,
Ben
I had problems with WangGuard as well. If you’re site is for a invites-only, you could always try using the “Easy Invitation Codes” plugin. There’s a nice BP-compatible version in the developer section: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/baw-invitation-codes/developers/ (The link just under “Other Versions”.) It works great and is simple to set up.
After installation, all you’d have to do is create a code and send it to the people you want to join. When they register, all they’d need to do is add the invite code, like “ARTROCKSSPAMSUCKS”, into an added field and you’re set.
There is one tiny glitch – but don’t panic! The altered plugin still connects to the regular WordPress plugin, so it will tell you that an upgrade is available after installation. It’s a lie! I did a cheat-fix to get rid of that notification by opening the bp-eic.php file and changing the version number from 1.0 to 1.0.4. And, while writing this message, I decided to try and alert the author of the conflict.
In your dashboard, go to settings and select “BuddyPress”. You’ll be brought to the BuddyPress options page. Select the tab titled “Pages”. From there it will help you create the needed pages and associate those pages with the BuddyPress components 😀
I’ve been up all night trying to figure out this issue: “The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activity Streams, Discussion Forums, User Groups, Members, Activate, Register”
I’ve Googled for answers, tried the permalinks from other people’s suggestions on google. I re-installed Buddypress and WordPress. I still get the “Page not found
We’re sorry, but we can’t find the page that you’re looking for. Perhaps searching will help.”
I did the “repair” in the BuddyPress settings, saved individually and “save all”. I still did not get it to work.
I am running my site on Windows Server 2008 r2, the permissions on my site is correct and web.config is correct. I have no other solutions I can think of right now and I am asking for those who had this issue if they could possibly help me out.
Thank you
I am using the latest versions of both WordPress and BuddyPress.
Site: http://www.tafaforum.com/
This site is for members of an art organization. We are testing the registration button and two members were able to set up easily with no problems while two others show up on the back end of the site as members but not on the member page. They are also not able to access the forums.
I installed the Wanguard Plug-in and am wondering if that is conflicting with BuddyPress, but why would two people get in and the others not?
I would rather send an email to all of the members who will use the site with a password and get rid of the front end registration altogether. I found some plugins that do that but they are for paid memberships and we won’t be using any payments on this site. I find the site very slow to load and read that one of the reasons could be plugins that are heavy in tasks, so I don’t want to add anything that will slow it down even more.
I’m also getting duplicate registration emails. Would that also be because of Wanguard?
I am not comfortable with changing code nor do I want to do anything that disappears every time there is an update. Any suggestions?
There’s a record in the user meta table that would need to be set (‘bp_last_activity’). Try https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/activate-users-in-buddypress/ and see if it’s working.
Hi Dyer,
I’ve just deactivated the User Role plugin and the problem is still there, no toolbar for new users. This is the link to the plugin that I’m using. http://shinephp.com/user-role-editor-wordpress-plugin/
Default setting is for all new users to be set as a subscriber.
Many thanks

I reopened this ticket https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3732 and DJPaul set the milestone to 1.7, and now I have no idea how to submit my patch (I am still not familiar with the process on buddypress.trax.org).
Anyway, I fixed up a patch and tested it on Buddypress 1.6.3. Maybe you can check out the changes and submit a patch on my behalf if you can. You can download files I modified at http://we.tl/HpU6emIJs4 and check things out.
