BP just uses the WordPress Login screen.
This is what WordPress support say:
Here is the lik you need:
It may be an issue with your theme not including that feature. I would maybe contact BuddyPress with that link to the forum post and ask them to clarify the exact issue.
Seems to me then that you need to ask WordPress.com support what they have done with it. Reinstalling BuddyPress is unlikely to fix this, it sounds more like that this is not actually true BuddyPress you have running, either that or you’ve not enabled groups but you shared the components page the other day and you had it selected.
Do you have the pages settings screen at all? There should be pages for Members, Activity and Groups at least.
The groups directory is a page allocated to display all of your groups in the BuddyPress Pages settings, it normally has the url https://yoursite.com/groups.
It’s really difficult to support wordpress.com users, we have no access so have no idea how BP works on there.
I do not know what you mean with “Groups directory”. I do not have my site on an own server.
I have a WordPress account who handels my site.
Maybe there’s something wrong with that I can’t find the right page here for “usergroups” in BuddyPress settings:
(I’m sorry I can’t get this picture in English!)
And in front end “Profile” I can not see anything that says “Create group”.
Can I possibly get this fixed if I reinstall BuddyPress?

All I can say is that BP is using the following WordPress function to get the url for the group:
get_home_url( bp_get_root_blog_id() )
So your WordPress thinks the home url is http
Buddypress works for me as you indicate, except for the pages of each group that always redirects me to http: //
I have open_ssl installed with a certificate. I have a wordpress latest version and buddypress latest version, I have configured multisite. I tried to put the domains to https: // and to http: // I always redirected the group pages to http: //
One page of group is
http://redols.caib.es/c07000000/grups/lectors/
I’ve not got a solution extacty but an alternative is to allow the user to add video embeds using either https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-user-widgets/ or https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-home-widgets/ I don’t think there are any profile field options that allow embeds.
So long as you have groups enabled then you should see create group in the Groups page, and also as an option in the WordPress toolbar under groups.
This is probably more to do with how you’ve setup WordPress rather than BuddyPress. BuddyPress redirects based on what WordPress thinks is the right URL for the site, it does not hard code https, but simply get the site address from WordPress.
These are the support forums for BuddyPress.
You have a better chance of getting an answer if you use the support forum for Buddypress Group Email Subscription .
The plugin you mention should do the job.
But these are not the support forums for that plugin.
You should ask your question on the support forum for that plugin:

Hello,
I am working on one of my website, using buddy press installed on localhost with wordpress latest version 5.1.1, but the register page of the buddy press is not working, after submitting sign up form nothing happens, and redirects to home page. I am troubleshooting and searching the solution in the forum too. But didn’t get any fix.
I have tried new fresh installation of wordpress with buddy press installation, no other plugin activated instead of buddypress and the twenty seventeen theme activated, but still facing same issue.
Please help me with the solution.
Thanks in advance.
wordpress : 5.1.1
buddypress : 4.2.0
Hello,
I am in charge of a site that uses wordpress, and buddypress. When someone receives a message, the old ones appear at the top and the recent at the bottom. When the page contains several messages, you lose time scrolling down the page each time before reading the most recent message. Is there a way to change the order of messages please? Thank you in advance.
cordially
Hello,
I would like to customize activation email content. I have already modified bp-custom.php and have changed the text in the activation email.
However, when it is received in the mailbox, “WordPress” is indicated in the field “From” instead of the website name. I am not sure how I can change it to the website name ’cause it seems to me that this code:
$from_name = $site_name . "<$admin_email>" ;
should work exactly as I need. And yet, it doesn’t.
How can I fix it?
@venutius, thank you so much for the idea! I have combined the plugin you suggested with https://wordpress.org/plugins/eonet-manual-user-approve/ and all works exactly the way I needed.
Howdy

Hello Guys.
I need your help I’m building a new e-commerce web shop in WordPress and I found BuddyPress which should be great for us website I’m able to create like two different accounts for example one like a normal customer who will go through the portal and he can choose what he wants to buy and the second one like a professional buyer who can Connect or if I can say to link with another account and he can manage them something like a membership and he can shop through their accounts. I’m trying to find this solution in BuddyPress but I couldn’t find the way how to manage a people in my group and shop through them. Manage I mean edit their billing addresses and all this things PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THAT I will pay for that but I really need help
This would be quite complicated to do. IF it were me I’d fork https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-disable-activation-reloaded/ and remove the auto-activation code.
Yes the users need a valid email address in order to activate their account. On think to check is that the emails are not being rejected as spam by their email provider ( gmail does this ). I found a way to avoid this was to change the default wordpress@host.com to something more specific to the site using CB Change Mail Sender plugin.
The limitations of BuddyPress are really the limitations of WordPRess and your host. If you think WordPress.com is run on WordPress you can see that scaling is possible, but that you’d probably need to do extensive customisations. File upload size is a server setting.
I had the same problem. I disabled WP User Avatar which solved the problem.
This plugin is apparently not compatiple with BuddyPress. The FAQ for the plugin says:
Will WP User Avatar work with BuddyPress?
No, BuddyPress has its own custom avatar functions and WP User Avatar will override only some of them. It’s best to use BuddyPress without WP User Avatar.
I’m using 5.1.1 in WordPress and latest Buddypress version (Nouveau template). It is currently in a subdomain (sandbox) for now. I’m also using a child theme to make adjustments. I would like to move the navigation on all pages to ABOVE the the cover image/avatar. Or just move the coverimage/avatar to below the navigation. Is this an easy adjustment?

Side note – Buddypress is impressive.
