Paul thanks for the reply.I’ ve reverted to the theme and disabled buddypress as you suggested. I am working on fixing the rewrite issue and see what happens. I will also check the wordpress forum. I appreciate your time and effort.
Cheers,
Douglas
I can’t get into your blog posts, which means you’ve got a bigger rewrite problem. Revert to the twentyten theme, disable BuddyPress and then fix the rewrite permalinks; best place to ask for / research common problems with WordPress is at https://wordpress.org/support/
BP-Default is only distributed within the main BuddyPress plugin, which lives at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/. You will need BuddyPress for BP-Default to work.
Do I need to edit the functions.php file?
bet it’s the chat plugin. Also each plugin could have it’s on CSS and javascript files. Did you try using this?

I figured it out. It’s not quite as elegant as I was hoping, it works. I put the following code right after `
` in the member.php theme file.
`have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
`
The page ID needs to be the page id # for the page you’d like to use for the description. It has to be the number though, the function doesn’t work with anything but an integer. I found my page’s id by mousing over the page name on the Pages listing in WordPress; the number is in the link.

To give you the entire picture of what happens when you register, or do anything else, go to Buddypress Test Drive. http://testbp.org.
Register, and you an experience everything it says and does for your site.
On the email subject, Buddypress email are actually wired around WordPress emails. In the very most likely case, the email is at a snails pace, and either ends up at the spam folder, or just takes along time to receive. This pace on which the emails get received will fluctuate, depending on the activity on the site. My emails on my site take a couple minutes to receive, Only because I am on my on server, there is nothing you can really do to speed up the emails, because you are on a host server, multiple servers. Emails taking 20-30 minutes is actually pretty good, compared to most, like on bluehost, which can take up to an hour and a half! 
I am still quite stuck on this. Poking around inside the files, but not really sure what I’m looking at here…. I’m server/network guy.
In wordpress general settings, in the timezone, scroll all the way down to the “manual offsets”, and set it to UCT-7
Thank for the replies. I will try posting over in the WordPress forums. I did re-run the Permalink Settings with the same result.
Do I need to make any changes to my bb-config.php file to run multisite? It is not mentioned anywhere in the multisite documentation, but it seems that bb-press is involved on the pages that are failing.
Maybe you should post this in the wordpress.org support forums, multisite. @ipstenu and @andrea_r will help you for sure
@jgagnon you should start a new thread instead of appending to an 8-month-old one
One thought is that you might have not uploaded the style.css file to the correct folder

I did some installs with a trial version of DreamHost and did not get the same issue until I activated the “Platform” theme. When I went back to the Default BP theme the issue went away. I have played around with this a bit and come to the following conclusions.
1. Yahoo hosting may not be the right choice for me (and BuddyPress) because it does not provide enough control over removing databases and other files that persist even after a reinstall.
2. The Platform theme may be for more experienced WordPress users.
Not sure if this information will help future users but feel free to reach out in this thread if you are having similar issues with Yahoo and/or the Platform theme.
Thank you for your help. I am good for now.
I need 6 thematic portal running fine buddypress and it does. And the ability to create subsite by users. So with non buddypress themes.
The 6 portals are BP since I want to have different themes but ONE community, accessible via this 6 portals with custumized content and post but same community.
But for now it does not work as it “should” since it is not possible to register from one of those portal. Only the main site allow it
Though it is possible to subscibe to any site usig the default wordpress process on the non buddypress sites on the network…
I’m getting the same results—adding the suggested remove_action causes registration to redirect to the front page.
If anyone would be so kind as to offer a possible solution, I would be very grateful.
nahummadrid has the right idea.
The skeleton component is a plugin example to send a user a “high-five” to another user:

It might not work, but give it a shot.
No, I use original BuddyPress version. But my WP is non-English.
I was trying to find out how to increase memory, and some people say that it’s possible to change in wp-settings.php. I went through this file, and found the following line
// Set initial default constants including WP_MEMORY_LIMIT, WP_DEBUG, WP_CONTENT_DIR and WP_CACHE.
wp_initial_constants( );
Maybe I can set the memory_limit using this function? In this case, what values should I use?
Thanx
It sounds like you are trying to use BuddyPress with a version of WordPress less than 3.0. For a few months now, BuddyPress has required WP 3.0 or greater.
In your FTP client, navigate to the wp-content/plugins folder. Delete the buddypress folder. Then go to yoursite.com/wp-admin, and things should be back to life. You will have to upgrade to the latest WP before attempting to install BuddyPress again.
Thanks a bunch for all your feedback @hnla . With regards to the suspected DNS/Domain issue, do you know how we could go about putting this to the test?
I’m glad to hear that our hardware is likely be at the root of this issue, because then it’s very manageable.
Extra note: We might try out some of the techniques covered here:
Child themes work like this: Say you have a house and you want it to look different, you would then buy paint and furniture and curtains to make it loo different but the walls and roof and floors still look he same and are in the same place. The parent theme is the walls and floors and those never change.
Basically the child theme is a way to tell word press to use all the files from a theme but make certain changes you want in a separate theme that way the parent theme files are never changed. If you do need to change one of the parent files then you copy that file over to the child folder and it will override the parent file.
header.php in a child theme folder will override header.php in the parent theme folder. Make a mistake? No biggie you can just copy the parent header.php over to the child theme again since you never edit the parent files.
