I just tried creating an account on your site and believe I’ve found the cause of the discrepancy between subscribers and members: no activation email is received so folks simply cannot activate their accounts.
Check with your hosting provider to ensure that your email accounts are set up correctly for WordPress (Buddypress uses the same email routines as WP).
When I or any other users click on a link to someone’s blog in the nav bar or the visit blog button on the blogs page it redirects to the member’s home page. But if you click on the link directly to a post in the activity stream the link works fine.
I am using the latest versions of WP and BP and using the buddypress default theme. I am using sub-domains.
I know nothing about php, but here is a little of my wp-config…
`define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, true );
$base = ‘/’;
define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘bloggerzoo.com’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );
define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);
/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);`
Help!!! I’m pulling my hair out on this one and I’m afraid to open up the site to anymore bloggers until I get this fixed.
Perhaps my question should have been more basic. I am new with buddypress and wordpress, so please forgive my painful learning curve. I have 130 subscribers yet I only show 2 “members.” How do I set up buddypress to make each subscriber a member. My site is at eventfulsandiego.com. Thank you so much for your help. And by the way, I did see a send friend request to my other member.
@dinoraptor101 so you use the plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cloudflare/ or did you test without it? If you did use it, maybe a bug report post on https://wordpress.org/tags/cloudflare?forum_id=10#postform about it would help get it solved 
Yes, it does help, pcwriter, thanks. I already have S2Member installed and activated – I use it for overall privilege control, but it still uses only the WordPress basic priv levels – subscriber, contributor, author (which in my WP, does nothing), editor and admin. What I need is more granularity – to be able, for example, to allow a single subscriber or contributor member to access two specific pages for write, and read the rest. Role Scoper says it does this, but Role Scoper crashes my website. Can you tell me how to use S2Member (a very fine plugin!) to add more privs by page capability to my website?
Hi All. We can’t able to see the ‘Comments’ live unless it has been moderated and approved by blog administrators. Similarly why don’t/can’t we have the exact functionality to be applied on top of ‘Blogs’, ‘Forums’, ‘Groups’, etc for Buddypress and WordPress Multisite enabled website. I am basically a non-techie guy. Please discuss your ideas and implementations if did already. Thanks in advance.
The WordPress super-admin for my multisite installation can delete posts from a Group’s activity feed, but a Group Admin cannot.
If a Group Admin attempts to delete an activity post, it appears to be removed from the activity feed, but if they leave the main Group page and return to it, the activity post returns.
I’m using WP 3.1.1 and BP 1.2.8
Does anybody have any suggestions? Thank you for any help you can offer.
(This issue is similar to the one described at http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/activity-feed-feed-not-working-after-upgrade-113/?topic_page=2&num=15 but the “delete fix” mentioned in that forum did not do the trick.)
Thank you @djpaul for explaining this was php4 v. 5 issue. As you knew, I was guessing global would fix 
And what message if any did you see when setting permalinks? If you saw a lot of code that is suggestive that WP wasn’t able to update your .htaccess file and is showing you what needs to go in the file. You’ll need to confirm that you actually have mod_rewrite working correctly, perhaps first disable BP and ensure that WP works correctly with permalink structure for posts.
Edit// I note that you have a url structure with that dreaded index.php in, ‘Almost pretty permalinks’ ? I think that you perhaps ought to read the WP codex page on permalinks to arm yourself with a little further understanding of this area and how to deal with it, you may have to add a custom link structure adding in the index.php/year/month/etc
https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
Of course we’ll make sure that whatever the current version of WordPress happens to be, BuddyPress will work with it.
I think people want to know if BuddyPress 1.3 will work with WordPress 3.2, or will there ever be a time when all three versions of software are up to date, completed and compatible with each other, since they rely on each other to run?
People may be concerned about “security updates” and other issues that would make their buddy press site vulnerable to attacks.
Also, will future releases of buddypress have more of the newer social networking features built into it? (Share buttons, sort by popularity, events, pages, recommended users, etc.)
You need to enable user registration: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-enable-user-registration-log-in
And make sure you’ve set custom permalinks. Otherwise, we’ll need more details to help
I have changed permalinks from default to numerical
1. Which version of WP/MU are you running? -3.1.2
2. Did you install WP/MU as a directory or subdomain install?–I installed on wamp as a directory
3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? — it is in localhost/wordpress/
4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WP/MU? If so, from which version? -NO
5. Was WP/MU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting. –yes
6. Which version of BP are you running? —1.2.8
7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? -NO
8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones? -No
9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? – bp-default
10. Have you modified the core files in any way? – NO
11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php? -NO
12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in? -NO
13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files. –
14. Which company provides your hosting? -WAMP
15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else? -Apache
Not Found
The requested URL /wordpress/members/{username}/profile/ was not found on this server.
I can see the Home page of my website after installing buddypress but if I click on any link the above error comes.
There something wrong with link configuration.
P.S.
I have copy pasted the bp-default directory to theme folder and activated it.
Even after that same error comes
Does this mean you will be able to rename groups to something else? Or is it just talking about giving a group and new name?

I just discovered buddy press and am excited to include it in my site (http://network.theunsignedsounds.com); but, I’m having trouble figuring out how visitors are expected to be able to join the site and start sharing. There doesn’t seem to be a “Register” option and when they click on “Sign in”, it just brings them to the wordpress log-in, which they may or may not have registered for. Also, when I try and click on “Activity” or “Members”, I keep getting a “Page not found” error; is that just because there’s nobody registered or any activity yet?

== I have Artisteer and started working on a theme and since I just installed buddypress am now wondering “Will it even work with it?” ==
It could work with BP Template Pack, BUT
1. personally, I’d recommend against using Artisteer to generate your theme. Better to download theme closest to design you want from https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ then adjust accordingly.
2. code generated could most possibly make it harder for your to integrate BuddyPress template files
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/
3. don’t know whether any javascript generated from creating that theme with Artisteer would have conflict with BuddyPress or BP plugins.
4. etc.
== Can anyone explain to me how to have the front page of my site not as a blog or buddypress? Then to have a blog of different Categories on different tabs? Then a place to click to go into where buddypress would be? Does that make sense? ==
Yes, I know what you mean. That is basically a WordPress template question. Create a Page Template, put in code for that template, publish the page with custom Page Template and set it as front page of your site.

Thanks for your help, I finally got it to install. I uninstalled it through cpanel and then I manually installed it by downloading wordpress and following your directions and used the define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’); in my config and it worked. Thank you so very much
Those don’t appear to have an action or a filter attached. If you make an enhancement ticket on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/, we can add some to the next version of BuddyPress for you.
We fixed this in trunk the other day. Take a look at the change here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4351/

When logged-in, simply visit the Members Directory or the member’s Profile and click “Add Friend”.
EDIT: remember to also make sure “Friends” is enabled under “Buddypress” > “Component Setup” in your WordPress backend.
