FYI: This is now fixed. It was the BP Gallery plugin with the latest version of WordPress (3.4.2) and Buddypress (1.6.1). But, instead of just disabling the plugin, it had to actually be *moved* from the plugins directory structure.
Hello,
I am also facing the same issue with my test site. I am using wordpress mu 3.4.2 and buddypress 1.6.1
I have not installed anything else yet ( any other plugin)
But the buddypress admin bar ( buddybar) not showing at the top. Its a fresh installation and in Network admin -> Buddypress -> Settings -> “Show the Toolbar for logged out users” is checked, but neither logged in user, super admin nor logged out user is able to see the buddybar.
Please help some body to solve the issue
Thanks

WordPress 3.4.2. PT-br
How did you install your WP, via FTP (manually) or via webhost script? Issues crop up if you installed WordPress via fantastico, scriptalicious, etc. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-and-server-requirements
@whiteeagle1985 The usual caveat: before making any major changes to site, backup DB and server files. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-management/
@guitaragora double-check in Appearance > BP compatibility that you did Not disable JS, otherwise there’ll be issues like you mentioned above.
== Except plugins. Their pages are not loading the ‘wordpress theme’ in the same way the main buddypress pages are,and I am having trouble getting them to work correct. ==
@fuzylogiq Some BP plugins have their own template files patterned after the bp-default theme. Usually you would transfer said plugin template files/folder into your own active theme. Then open up each plugin template file and superimpose the HTML structure of your theme onto each plugin template.
== I am using the Kaboodle Labzip theme. ==
@obsidianmarketing based on what I’ve seen on theme’s author’s site, Kaboodle parent theme has support for BP, bbPress and WooCommerce. You should post inquiries about the theme with the theme author.
== have wordpress installed in a sub-directory and I did not do a manual install – I used fantastico. ==
And therein lies the problem. If you’re going to use BuddyPress, do a manual installation as there have been hiccups with webhost scripts https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-and-server-requirements
maddogmcewan adding shortcodes to form fields is better addressed at WP forums https://wordpress.org/support/
It is very strange that Buddypress.org hasn’t integrated links/video/photos to the Activity Stream and that we depend only on WPMUDEV for this one plugin to solve an extremely obvious and basic issue for ANY social networking solution (it is inconceivable not to have media uploading capacities in the Activity Stream).
Also it is incredible that only ONE plugin exists to solve this thing…thx to the lack of competition the developer of this plugin rests on a very incomplete solution with no apparent sense of urgency to make it better (please someone develop a competing plugin!).
In the meantime I adhere to the needs of this forum that it is imperative that this plugin must be compatible with iOS6 (all apple products).
IT IS URGENT!!!!!!!
NOTE: The fact that this plugin is offered for free does not give license to the developer to make it lousy…it undermines the whole open-source wordpress enterprise.
Users are getting a white screen when they click the activation link.
This is all that shows up in error logs (over and over with a different id):

Hey all,
Is there a plugin to remove multiple groups from BuddyPress (ie. multiple spam-created groups)? There used to be one, but it’s no longer compatible with WordPress (was compatible up to 3.3).
Right now it takes forever to remove spam groups, as they have to be removed one by one, and I’d love to speed the process up. 
TIA!

@mercime my site is live and running very smooth but did noticed a couple very small things… Lets say someone tries to add me as a friend, I can see the “Cancel Friendship Request” button but I can not see any “Accept Friendship Request” button. Is this a problem you have ran into before and if so, do you know of a solution. I have been searching the forums but have not found a problem or solution related to my situation in particular.
Hello, I’m running WordPress 3.4.2. and Buddypress 1.6.1.
When a user or myself posts an update in the Activity stream, the time is shown correctly (i.e. 2 minutes ago), The RSS is also showing the correct times.
BUT when I check the times in the Dashboard > Activity tab, the hours are off by exactly 5 hours. Since I need to keep track of the exact times, is there a fix/plugin/hack that I could use to fix this?
My WordPress setting is currently set at the “Chicago” Timezone.
(EDIT)
Here is the correct activity update [actual time is (September 24, 2012 4:14 PM)]
Here is the exact same activity updated viewed inside Dashboard < Activity (time is off by 5 hours)
Can you file a bug report to https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org please, with some example usernames and exact steps how to create the bug. You can use your username and password from this site. Thanks
I have just created a buddypresswordpress theme from scratch.. Not exactly experienced at that task from start to finish, but i feel good about it so far!
Anyway, everything works pretty well, and ive gotten the theme to work OK with most of buddypress.
Except plugins. Their pages are not loading the ‘wordpress theme’ in the same way the main buddypress pages are,and I am having trouble getting them to work correct.
Am I missing something easy, or do I have to conditionally detect the group plugin sub-pages and replace add code then? I am currently mucking with BP_BEFORE_GROUP_HEADER, but i feel at this moment “isnt there a better way?”
Thanks for any advice!
I am using the Kaboodle Labzip theme. I installed the Kaboodle (child) theme first but I did not activate it and lastly I installed the woocommerce plugin and activated it. I have wordpress installed in a sub-directory and I did not do a manual install – I used fantastico. I am getting the following when trying to run through the installation wizard:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_themes() in /home/foo/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/admin/bp-core-update.php on line 519
Please help.

Did you install WordPress with a one click type installer from your host or did you upload and create the database yourself?
When you click mention does it go to the post form and put the user name into post form or does the error just show?
Does this happen with or without maintenance mode on?
WordPress 3.5 is required for this.
Quick question: if I want to delete a wordpress user and assign their posts to someone else, I can do that. Do the bp articles and attachments in the stream also get assigned to the user selected to transfer wp posts to?
Thanks!

Once the user has registered, how do I send the user’s username and password in the email that includes the activation link?
I want to do this because hyphens are being added to where spaces were when the user subscribed. (e.g. Future Diamond changes to Future-Diamond).
I am using WordPress 3.4.2 and BuddyPress 1.6.1 and my website is at http://netballscoop.com/
