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:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-skeleton-component/
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.

hey guys sorry im so late on responding back, i started to lose hope on getting feedback since everywhere else i went for help (suffusion support forum never respond to any of my help post, wordpress.org at least someone was nice enough to direct me here) was pretty much pointless. but anyway i decided to dump the suffusion theme because i figured there wasnt any point in using a theme that didnt have much of dependable support forum and bought the platform pro theme and so far not only am i impressed but i realize u get what you pay for (free has its limits).
i looked into what @youlichika said and http://site/groups/create/ takes you directly to the create page that i thought no longer existed. so i went thru my cpanel file manager and edited bp-groups.php and at line 155 i added this:
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Create’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘create’, ‘parent_url’ => $groups_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->groups->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘groups_screen_group_create’, ‘position’ => 50, ‘user_has_access’ => ‘groups-create’ ) );
and i got the create a group tab added next to invites, its not perfect but it gets the job done. im going to do the same thing for events and let you guys know how it turns out. thanks again everybody for replying to my post i found exactly what i was looking for and im more than happy to share what ive learnd hoping to help the next person being ignored from other forums lol
I added the line to my functions.php as suggested. The login link (wp-login.php?action=register) redirects to the home page now. The WP login works fine, though.
I’ve deactivated all plugins except the BP core. Made sure I’m not logged in, and cache/cookies have been cleared out.
Anything else I should check?
Greatly appreciate the assistance…
Thank you, I will try that. Should I expect to encounter any problems with account creation? When I was searching I found a post that indicated there might be such issues, but it was from several months ago.
Or, as an alternative, I want a Register page that does the following:
– Option to use Janrain Engage
– uses reCAPTCHA or an arithmetic challenge
– forces minimum password length and displays password strength/match
– Shows disclaimer text, with option to require users check box to Accept Agreement
– Shows privacy policy text, with option to require users check box to Accept Agreement
– sends customized activation email to non-Janrain registrations
– sends customized username/password email to non-Janrain registrations
I have all of this capability now, just not with BuddyPress.
If anyone knows of an existing solution for doing this with the BP login and registrations, that is fine, too.
Thanks
If you want to disable BP’s registration and user account activation pages: In your functions.php or in a custom plugin:
`remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_core_screen_signup’, 3 );`
Sorry for the delay. It will be in your theme’s folder. If you are using the BP default theme then it will be in: your_wordpress_folder/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default
If you are using this then it will probably be worth creating a child theme so that you don’t loose any changes with plugin upgrades. If that is what you want to do then I can give you some help there too.
Found solution on my buddypress site – This drove me crazy .. My clients wanted ‘Profile’ to show first when their link was clicked on. OK, makes sense for this site.
1. Did not work: This method broke my buddydress theme in IE (but not Mozilla) – adding ‘define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’,’profile’); ‘ to bp-custom.php and uploading it to /wp-content/plugins. .. useless for me.
2. Worked – adding ‘define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’,’profile’);’ to my wp-config.php file (up top, above – ‘// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //’) – UREEKA BABY!!
I’m using buddypress 1.2.7 , buddydress themes and wordpress 3.0.4 – Hope this helps someone..
@theartillerist do you mean you’re still using WPMU 2.9.2 or do you mean you installed WP 3.0.4 and created a network – multisite? In any case, you do not create a physical subdirectory with a .com at the end because all subdirectories and subdomains created with WP multisite are all virtual. You should read or re-read Create a Network.
After installing WP at domain root, create a network then use the domain mapping plugin so that a new domain name e.g. theartillerist.com, would be pointed to domain root so it can be retrieved in subsite.
Before installing BuddyPress, do resolve all installation and configuration issues including domain mapping at WP.org multisite forums – https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite
Your web host and/or hosting package aren’t providing your site enough memory to load BP up. By chance are you running a non-English installation?
