I just installed the Buddypress update. It said 100% compatible according to author.
BP 2.0 is in beta. Where did it say 100% compatible? You shouldn’t use 2.0 beta in a production environment. There is a fair way to go yet before the core devs release BP 2.0 proper.
Wordpress said “100% compatible according to author” prior to installing the update. I’d really rather not repeat myself or be asked dumb questions. Any valuable, productive advice is welcome. I need these bugs fixed or would be happy with instructions on how to install the prior working version of Buddypress and get out of Beta mode. I would not have installed if the author had not said 100% compatible. Need help from others willing to help and not waste time criticizing. Thanks.
There was a bug in the WordPress.org repository that caused some installations to see BuddyPress 2.0 as the currently available version. If you need to switch back to 1.9.2, download the zip file, and upload it to your plugins directory.

Let us know if you need any other help, and sorry for the problem.
The group member count issue is because BuddyPress 2.0 made some changes to the group component to better optimize how data is fetched.
This affected the BP Group Hierarchy plugin, which caused your group member count issue.
You can either downgrade BuddyPress to v1.9.2, which John stated above or you can keep using the beta and use the developmental version of BP Group Hierarchy that fixes this issue:

A .ZIP link can be found here:

Note that this is in development. If there are any further bugs with the groups component, please let the author of the plugin know.
@donorchildren hopefully you’ll get this fixed. Sorry if my reply looked critical, it wasn’t intended to be.
Thanks for the support. This can be closed. I was able to reinstall the older version of Buddypress.
Thanks again.
