Thanks very much for your reply!
1) I am actually using the same child theme for all of the blogs. I’ve noticed that every blog expect from the primary domain blog has the following reference:
“
This is inserted in the head section with the code below which I assume means it’s from the database
“
^ I only need to edit one line from that file but it doesn’t exist so I don’t know what to do 
It doesn’t work if I use a CSS over right either 
2 & 3 Thank you soooo much! You’ve moved 2 current and many future problems for me! May I ask which plugin you personally recommend?
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your response.
Here are more info:
Theme: eStore theme from Elegant Themes.
BuddyPress: latest one downloaded from Buddypress.org.
Wordpress: 3.0.1
Plugins: Gravity Forms, WPMU DEV’s “Membership” Premium, BuddyPress Template Pack
Let me know if you require more information. Thanks so much!
Cheers

1) Depends if you’re using the same theme/child theme for both/all blogs. If you are doing so, both should have same styles.
2) https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmu-new-blog-defaults/ or https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yd-wpmu-sitewide-options/
3) see New Bkig Defaults plugin above
I joined it, and downloaded it – but have yet to use it.. apparently the plugin requires a “phone home” to one of the wpmu dev computers every time someone or some spammer tries to sign up – and you need to have a current subscription to their premium service in order for that part to work… I asked in their forums (as a paid current member) if the other parts of the plugin will still work if I discontinue my monthly paid subscription to wpmu dev premium – and I got no response about that.. so I have yet to install it – as I can not see paying every month for the rest of my life…
there has also been discussion about using the plugin to go through all of your past members and looking for splogers – and apparently it will not work for that – only for new signups…
Right now my hope is that bp-registration options ( https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-registration-options/ ) will incorporate some of the tricks from TTC ban hammer ( https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ban-hammer/changelog/ )and that the buddypress code will actually make it easier for us stop spmmers – right now buddypress ignores wordpress’ ban email domain features – and that just sucks – the bp registration options stops about 80% of the spammers from being able to post – but there is something in the BP code that lets some of them scoot right through, even with hashcash plugin, SI captcha plugin, and the BP registration Options running – buddpress wastes about 3 hours a week of my time simply deleting sploggers… but hey there are new features coming soon right? LOL
If possible, increase the memory limit in either php.ini, .htaccess, or in the wp-config.php file.
In php.ini
`memory_limit = 128M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (128MB)`
Follow the proper procedures for restarting apache, etc.
.htaccess method
This is in my .htaccess because of file upload limitations in the php.ini as well as memory limits (I use many many plugins).
`php_value memory_limit 256M
php_value upload_max_filesize 55M
php_value post_max_size 55M
php_value max_execution_time 80000
php_value max_input_time 80000`
In wp-config.php
`define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘128M’);`
You need to change the permalink structure (something other than the default setting) in your wordpress-settings.
As noted in the ticket:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1125#comment:3
It should be possible by creating a plugin.
If you have a little WordPress experience, check out /buddypress/bp-groups.php for all the necessary hooks and filters to start work on the plugin.
What versions of WordPress and BuddyPress are you using? Which theme? What other plugins are installed?
Having same issue after upgrade. Reopening ticket.
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2414
[wordpress3.0.1+buddypress1.2.6]
Thank you mate, I will try this now. Btw in wordpress version 1.3, will be able to disable this part of the profile?
“My host informs that when I installed wordpress it was not wordpress MU. Could this be the issue? “
No, that is not the issue. BP works in single WP.
But if you want to give your members their own blogs, then you have to go multisite, i.e. create a network.
You should also check out this article, before installing BuddyPress – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/
I think you can use the User Avatar Plugin

I highly recommend Laughingsquid.
They are one of the WordPress recommended hosts, https://wordpress.org/hosting/
and I think they are great.
http://laughingsquid.net/faq/wordpress/
What host provider are you running the install from? Do you have command line access?
I’ve done that, it’s a BP problem…
@Annoyed, What theme are you using? Do you have a link I could take a look at. Often the problem is that a theme or plugin includes a different version of jquery to the that comes with WordPress. You could load jquery from google. Put this code at the top of your functions.php (in your theme folder)
`function my_init_method() {
wp_deregister_script( ‘jquery’ );
wp_register_script( ‘jquery’, ‘http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js’);
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘my_init_method’);`
I’m not aware of any documentation outside of the software itself. The functions that do the sync are pretty short and easy to understand. Check out `xprofile_sync_wp_profile()` and `xprofile_sync_bp_profile()` in buddypress/bp-xprofile.php to get a sense of just what’s being synced.
Hi Paul, I am using WordPress 3.0 and BuddyPress 1.2.6
I have not changed any settings – Buddypress comes right out of the box using member’s login info in the urls.
My URL for instance is /members/admin and stays that way even though my full name is “FirstName LastName”.
I need BuddyPress to use the full name field, not the username field.
Can you help with this ?

@modemlooper, if I create a custom link item to “example.com/activity”, and then click on that link, it loads the correct page and applies the ‘current-menu-item’ class to the li element. I’m testing this on BP trunk and WP 3.0.1.
If I put a Page into my menu, it gives it the class ‘current_page_item’ as it recognises it is part of the WordPress object hierarchy.
@modemlooper Components in BP 1.3 will exists as Pages in WordPress. The Pages will be created as part of a new Setup procedure.
First of all I would change it back to the “full name” field until you figure this out.
What versions of WordPress and BuddyPress are you using?
is there any documentation which fields get synchronized with which fields? maybe some more fields could be hooked up for synchronization? since you said: `with changes automatically synced back to WP.` I’d like to know what goes where and when 
just curios here.. and thanks for clarifying this for me.
