@kriski – If you want to add users directly to groups (skipping invitations), try https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-management/. It’s not great for adding in bulk yet, but I plan to add checkboxes in the next version that’ll make it easier.
@Erich73 – Good call on the group creation issue. I think the answer is just to turn off the message for the group creation process. I’m about to check in version 0.5.2, which makes this correction. Email invitation can only be done from the normal Send Invites screen, so the confusion shouldn’t happen. Not sure about your email problem – has your friend checked the spam folder? I’m using the same wp_mail function that the rest of the BP functions use.
@roydeanjr – Very strange about the first errors – almost makes it seem like the plugin was loading before Buddypress was. If it starts happening again, please let me know, and give me as much info about your system setup as you can so I can try to reproduce it. And thanks for the kind compliments 
We have a test site running but I would rather not give you the URL.
The page I cannot find is this one:
http://testbp.org/register
I use the standard buddypress theme and if I try to type /register it just takes me back to home page.
Any official word on WordPress 3 support or are they waiting for final release.
Thanks for the quick response.

@Gene53 and @ajohnson – it sounds like you forgot to wipe-out your previous BP Album+ install before installing the new 0.1.9.1 beta.
If you’re just joining the thread, the beta can be downloaded here:
https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/bp-album/branches/foxly/0.1.9.1/bp-album-BETA-0-1-9-1.zip
Trying to install the 0.1.9.1 beta over top of an existing BP Album+ installation will cause an error.
Although RELEASE versions of the plugin will *automatically* upgrade any previous BP Album+ version, beta versions will not. It would be far too time consuming to write an upgrade script for every beta release.
So, to install the beta, either start with a fresh wp/bp install on your development system (we use a script for this so it takes us 5 seconds to do). Or, if you’re doing things manually:
1) Deactivate the plugin
2) Use phpMyAdmin to DROP the “wp_bp_album”, “wp_bp_album_albums”, and “wp_bp_album_meta” tables
3) Delete the bp-album plugin folder
4) (optional) Delete the “…/wp-content/blogs.dir/…/files/album/” directory
5) Copy the new bp-album folder into the plugins directory
6) Activate and enjoy!
Thanks!

Can’t really do anything with your problem like this.
You don’t have the site running somewhere?
Also, buddypress doesn’t support wordpress 3.0 yet.

get_active_blog_for_user() is a WPMU function and includes/ms.php is a WordPress 3 file. Not sure whose to blame.

Maybe you should try this plugin:

Perhaps some servers have blocked the mails sent from your server via the automatic wordpress@example.com

Create a new widget area. It’s easy. Check out the following WP codex page for a bunch of links on how to widgetize a theme.
https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Widgets#Resources
Basically, you create a new widget area and then in your child theme, you put the new widget area where you want to display your group widget.

Here’s the latest beta release of BP Album+
Now with ALBUMS, album-based workflow, and multi-size images like Flickr!
https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/bp-album/branches/foxly/0.1.9.1/bp-album-BETA-0-1-9-1.zip
This beta also features fully documented WordPress-Compliant source code, so if you’re a developer it will be easy for you to understand and help us extend the plugin.
To install this beta, you’ll need to wipe-out the previous version’s plugin directory and database tables. Also, go to the admin screen and click “save” before starting to use the plugin. It makes the plugin auto-generate the default album thumbnail image.
Next up:
1) High quality template files to show-off all the new features we added, and properly working pagination.
2) Bulk media uploader
3) Albums for groups
4) Streaming video like YouTube. (Obviously, you’ll need a dedicated server for this so you can install Red5)
^F^
PS: Could somebody take some screen caps and post them to the forum so everyone can see the new features? Thanks!

oh please do try it out.. it would be really great
maybe someone would convert it into plugin or something also!
It would be very easy to modify your forum code so that only registered members can view posts. You could say “if the current user is not logged in, display a ‘sorry’ message, else proceed with setting up and displaying the forum posts. You could even set it up so they could view a few teaser posts at the top, and then display the ‘you must login’ message. I may in fact try this out on a few groups!
@dragonbabic
sorry I don’t understand the commenting issue, if you can describe how to reproduce it please open a topic here https://wordpress.org/tags/bp-album
for custom strings recently djpaul wrote this post on his blog http://byotos.com/2010/04/hijacking-wordpress-internationalisation/ . Hope it helps
I see, thanks for the info
I am going to experiment first with facestream.. for some reason i get an error when try to set it up..

with this Facebook Connect plugin it creates a member in BP, so even if you remove the plugin their account stays:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-fb-autoconnect
with phpbb it was easy to grow numbers.. because there was an option to restrict access.. to registered members only..
buddypress does not have this though
people can read all posts without registration there is invite on,y and hidden forum.. but it is not the same as
register to view..
i think that;s missing feature by the way
re facebook login — I want them to be registered with me, not only with facebook haha 
– unless I misunderstand..
re hosting,, is it fast? to me it seems on the slow side,
so I am glad you said that.. guys who were helping me out had to install some plugins to optimize it.. etc..
it is on dedicated server / litespeed
It should be quite easy to pull the WP password strength indicator from the WP admin profile page.
Or even try using a jQuery plugin like this one:
http://phiras.wordpress.com/2007/04/08/password-strength-meter-a-jquery-plugin/
Haha you arent kidding.. Its the single most NICHE site and with most ridiculously LONG url on the planet. I did not pick it, its not my choice.. i tried to talk them out of it..
Now, of coarse that I have wordpress mu all installed and working, they are ready to POSSIBLY change it (BLAHH I WANNA SCREAM FOR THAT) But I am pretty sure I can change the url site-wide by exporting the DB and doing a find/replace in a text editor so thats not a massive issue
So can you tell me where the args for the avatar are within bp? Or is this something I have to search for within my theme? any guesses as to where i might be?

@modemlooper’s suggestion works well. Admin is an admin and will have the same privileges.
I’m not familiar with the poster’s original question, but sometimes wordpress site owners will create a new admin account and delete the out-of-the-box admin to mitigate risk (thought minor) to the site.
