2. Not sure what you mean. Nothing in core limits members, anyway.
3. Yes, but not in core. Use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/

I have that same problem with WordPress’s built in oEmbed’s actually.
Well, I decided to re-install WordPress, Multi-Site, BuddyPress… basically EVERYTHING and completely start over from scratch. Maybe that was going overboard, but it was my only option. It is now showing the members and friend requests as it should for just my 2 test accounts, but now I need to figure out a way of bring over the data, posts and WP users from the old site without disturbing what I have working now. Any ideas?
how does the synchronization work?
I’d love to get a plugin to match certai nfields against certain other fields win wp profile and bp profile!
So what I have to do is enable “Logged in users may register new sites.” under “Registration Settings”?
Right now I have the first option checked:
1- Registration is disabled. (checked)
2- User accounts may be registered.
3- Logged in users may register new sites.
4- Both sites and user accounts can be registered.
Since I’m using BP, and I want my users to be able to create their own blogs, which one should be checked?
OK I just deleted all and am starting again from new and will just install wordpress now///
I get a email from
sample scripts with my wp link and my password but not from wordpress I will now create a user in WP without installing BP
WordPress sends emails automatically to the admin (you I presume!).
If you are not getting those mails when you create users in wp-admin, then your mail isn’t configured properly in WordPress (as with ‘freeriders’ system in the thread I gave you).
You need to fix that before proceeding with BuddyPress install.
Look in the WordPress Codex for details on setting up / configuring the mail settings.
@Hnla: Thanks guys.. Especially that topic solved it 
I did use the search functions and checked the conditional tags in the codex (have that bookmarked) but I could not get it to work as hoped. This should help get me started!
Solved it.. I did need to create anew page template for my activity stream because that was not picked up for some reason. My code:

Apologies – have just found out that it is a general wordpress setting, not a Buddy Press setting, found under Settings > General Settings. I have now ticked the box and it is working fine.
you can always do if( whatsit || thisit || orthatsit ) if you can’t find one overall check
Thanks, Travel-Junkie. I think you’re right. A standalone forum would probably be fine. Now, I need to figure out how to get them all to share one forum.
I have this problem too. However, I can’t see where to set-up user registration in the BP admin section – these are the options I have under General Settings –
Disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing?: Yes No
Hide admin bar for logged out users?: Yes No
Disable avatar uploads? (Gravatars will still work): Yes No
Disable user account deletion?: Yes No
Disable global forum directory?: Yes No
Disable activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts?:
BTW, I found all this helpful info:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Multilingual_WordPress
Manage multilingual posts in one post per language (for example Gengo and WPML). Translations are then linked together, indicating that one page is the translation of another.
Store all languages alternatives for each post in the same post (for example qTranslate).
Manage translations on the generated page instead of using a post context (for example Transposh and Global Translator)
Plugins that direct you to external translation services (for example Google AJAX Translation)
Plugins that link together separate WordPress installations for each language by pinging back and forth.
I’ll try a few more options but sure would appreciate some suggestions.
Thanks
Yes, uploading local media would have seemed like the logical first step – before building support for external providers.
I suspect though, that it all comes down to the lack of support for media uploads in core BuddyPress.
I’m curious why the standard WordPress core media uploads / gallery handling / thumb-nailing etc. haven’t been integrated with the BuddyPress member profiles. Is there something fundamental that stops those existing routines from being utilised and mapped to profiles instead of posts? I feel that in this area, 3rd party plugins are unnecessarily re-inventing the wheel.
this might be a daft suggestion and I am by no means an expert but after being logged in and returning to the homepage have you tried typing sitename.com/wp-admin into the address bar?
There sure ought to be. It’d be a great feature for both user update streams and groups. Maybe using the “float to the top” method that has been used to re-highlight commented on activity items
I’m too learing on how to achieve this process, there is a wonderfull tutorial at http://cleverness.org/2010/08/08/add-user-types-to-wordpress-and-buddypress/ Cindy did a really good job there
If your WP is running well in that same server, permalinks are set to other than default, and only BuddyPress plugin is activated in your install, then I would venture that you might also need to increase PHP memory limit
I started off with a blank theme and no plug ins. After I try to go to sitename/wp-login.php and login, I can not access the wordpress admin anymore.
There are no plug ins running except for buddypress. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? This is really annoying.
Thanks bye.
Paul – Yes, the server logs IPs, but battling trolls would be a LOT easier if you could just go and look at an IP for account creation in the User Table or something similar.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/register-ip/ helps, though it doesn’t put the IP in the MultiSite users menu…
