Hi Andrea_r,
I am too trying to get bp to work with mystique, it looks like you made some excellent progress. Do you need any assistance or is there anything available for download yet?
I really appreciate the help.
Finally a buddypress user gallery plugin that’s free and works with 1.2.
Just a question though, will it work with wordpress single, or isnt it tested with it yet?
I’ll do the Dutch translation by the way. 
This is fixed in the upcoming version. It was mention as known bug on the the WordPress bp-groupblog plugin download page
@Mark Schafer, and anyone else
Oh okay, I actually hadn’t tried out the multi select box yet.
I have that issue as well! It only displays the last one I’ve selected exactly as you said.
And I just tested this from scratch.
Installed wordpress mu 2.9.2, installed buddypress 1.2.1, and tested each of the fields and the error occurs for each of the selection fields, (except for the multi select box which does as Mark Schafer stated)
have you made a ticket?
@xevo Generally, I agree with you but there are reasons other than user blogs for using MU. It’s often practical to use blogs for specialty purpose (as we have on our site) while still not allowing user blogs. We have 4 indiv blogs with unique functions. It may be possible in a Single setup but the power of doing it within a blog is compelling.
MediaTemple is the best choice for wordpress related hosting needs it also suits for Buddypress also
If you are not afford thier package then you may go for HostGator , i found it the best one after mediatemple for Buddypress hosting
Friend, @r-a-y
you have no idea how much I need your help, I’m at a point that either I’m using wordpress mu, buddypres to have a separate part of my main site, or I will rely on help from someone to set the theme I could give you the admin password for my site, or even give him the password to login to FTP, to help me, I really need, and I live in Brazil, and unfortunately here we do not have many people to help at this time, and I do not have international credit card to pay for help
you could help me, just me, and could even put your site as a partner and help you with Google Adsen, is one of the few ways that could help you
thanks

MU doesn’t add tables for every user. It only adds tables for another blog.
Hey thanks for the response!
As for the use of z-index:
The wordpress template has a horizontal top menu bar, with drop down category lists.
When opened in IE7 and I hover over a category name in the top horizontal menu bar, the drop down menus drop down however they drop behind the page elements.
The z-index in the header brings the drop down menu to the front of the page where it needs to be in order to make selections.
If you don’t need user blogs, don’t use wpmu.
Wpmu was created only for that purpose.
the answer is certainly WordPress. If giving blogs to your users is not a must WordPress is the pnly answer.
Why? Because MU adds tables for every user and you get a huge database at the end. You will need a VPS for MU at least.

Did you configure the SMTP plugin correctly?
Here are some instructions:
http://ericlbarnes.com/how-to/wordpress-and-google-apps/
The email bug on the BP site I was working would not send any BP email to a GMail account, but would send to all other email addresses. I thought it was semi-related to the issues you and ruthlessbookie were encountering.
I ran into a similar issue recently on a BP site I was working on.
I used this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/configure-smtp/
with a Google Apps email account.
Unfortunately I have the same problem as the two of you. I am running fresh installations – newest WPMU and BP.
It was running all fine.
Now I (admin) get no email notifications at all – users do not receive any either. The activation emails are not being sent. The WPMU ones are not sent out either.
I am using a catch-all email on my email host to be able to sign up with different emails on the same domain.
First thing I was thinking was whether BP or WP was thinking all this signup from the same email domain was SPAM and therefore closing down signups from my IP or whatever.
I have searched for answers and found this: https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/13039
Apparently some hosts do not allow automated emails to be sent out.
(However, if my host do not allow this, how come it worked fine for two weeks?)
Only plugin I have installed is the cets-blog-defaults. I have tried to deactivate it, but it does not help.
This is really frustrating 
@lpegram
Are you using WPMU or standard WP?
If you’re using WPMU, read what I just wrote here:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-vs-wordpress-mu#post-41890
This is my personal opinion, but If you’re building on top of an existing WordPress blog and theme, I would recommend WPMU so you can install BP on a secondary blog.
This is so you can separate the community side from your main WP blog. It will make things much easier from a theme perspective and for future upgrades to BP.
Plugins are a non-issue, unless you want to use the BP Group Wiki plugin or the BP Classifieds plugin.

If you’re starting from scratch and you do not anticipate the need for user blogs, I recommend standard WordPress.
If you install BuddyPress you’re blog will remain the main blog and all your posts/authors/categories etc are still there.. It does not remove your existing blog, it simply adds social network functions to them!
Your WordPress theme can’t be used though, so you’ll might need to change the standard BP theme to fit your needs by creating a Child Theme.

Check out this plugin: It’ll get you started
http://wiki.thisblueroom.net/wiki/Wordpress_MU_sitewide_recent_posts_plugin
It displays all the recent entries for the particular user.
The BP-Gallery plugin by BuddyDev.com is your best bet; it’s still in beta though.
Also, it’s a paid plugin. Cheapest membership rate is $30 for 3 months access to the entire plugin and theme gallery.

There’s also MrMaz’s BP-Links plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-links/.
And oEmbed for BuddyPress – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-buddypress/
Both of these plugins rely on third-party video sites like YouTube, DailyMotion, etc.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/
Adds a checkbox on each page in admin to allow you to exclude pages from nav.
Thats not the right way to do it. You will need to use some of these files.
Plugin here that guides you through it

I have not tested this out but I’ve been looking for something similar and also found the “My Favorite Post” plugin which links the database to the user profile rather than the wp-favorite-posts plugin which uses cookies. This may better integrate with user profiles in buddypress (if it works). If anyone tries it out let me know and if I get any updates I’ll post them:

If you are running buddypress with wordpress single version (not wpmu), then dreamhost, hostgator, and others should be fine.
But if you intend to host blogs or use buddypress with wpmu, then those shared servers won’t be capable of your applications. I currently use wpmu/buddypress on Media Temple grid server.
Media Temple are not bad , have one of their Dedicated virtual servers, possibly a bit pricier than the others, but excellent fast support, very good KB, good active forum, server performs well has plenty of bandwidth, memory and disk space, plesk panel plus licences not that I like control panels that much. Full SSH root access, do what you like with the server etc.
As for memory required to run something like WPMU and Buddypress it really all depends on how busy the site is we have on this particular server 1.5GB which is plenty. WP/BP should run fairly well in less, min I would want though is 512MB. More important I would have thought is having a full set of resources to dedicate to the site so wouldn’t consider running on any form of shared hosting only VPS or Dedicated especially when things start to get busy.
All of the hosts mentioned are good and all I think are recommended on wordpress.org so should be fairly safe whichever you choose.
since i use bbPress as an external install (on a subdomain and within bp) – want to carry over some of the basic plugins. So, I’m working on bb-signatures, bb-code, bb-smiles into the BP group forums section (maybe ajaxed quote – not sure yet)
also, i have company directory app (standard address, contact, members, deals, reviews, tagging) that runs on a hybrid wordpress based site – i’m thinking about converting this into a bp component (based on groups?)
