BuddyPress.org

There’s a plugin the converts a group to announce only, maybe that could be the basis of a fan page?

BuddyPress Announce Group

BuddyPress does not manage what happens to posts when a user is deleted, I think that’s a WordPress function.

Try something like this in the Additional CSS tab of the WordPress Customize area:

#forums-personal-li {
display:none;
}

You can use specially designed WordPress theme, I think the solution already exist.

BuddyPress
BuddyPress is a powerful WordPress plugin that takes the self-hosted WordPress sites to integrate with social network and community features. It allows you to handle user profiles, user groups, activities, and others within WordPress blogs. So you can use it as a social network for schools, colleges or universities or a communication tool for friends, organizations or companies; and more. As a result, you can easily develop WordPress community with BuddyPress.

Yes, it is on purpose – see the ticket.

Yep, I’d recommend you do a lotof testing. With a plugin list that’s long there’s bound to be other compatibility issues hiding. Here’s a tip: try https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-detective/ next time you spot a potential conflict. With a lot of plugins it really helps streamline the process of tracking down the offending plugin.

Also, while you are in the startup stage turn on WordPress Debugging, there’s a plugin BWS Error Log Viewer – that will set up your error log and give you a simple way of viewing it, this will help you track the issues. WP DEBUG can cause a performnce hit for active sites so the general idea is to only run it on active sites if you are tracking a particular issue though to be honest one my sites with only a few hundred users I’ve not seen any issues with it on.

Check out https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG for more info on debugging in WordPress.

One last thing: don’t forget your JavaScript console in your browser, the WP Error log is for PHP errors in the WordPress back-end, the js console (right click on the page and Inspect Element) will show you any JavaScript Errors and messages.
