Convert WP users to Buddypress users

Hi, this is a known “issue” i have read every single topic here, i even run a script on my database.
The thing is that in /members it only show the amount of users that had logged in after buddypress was installed. Before the Buddypress instalation i had 2000 users, now i have 4000+, so in /members the member count only counts those 4000 users.
I run a script (created a mu-plugin) that goes user by user (foreach) and gave a last_activity time stamp. (Thats what i read in lots of forums, buddypress uses last_Activity to determine if the user is a buddypress or a WP user).
Didnt work, the pre-buddypress users dont show up.
I dont know what to do, in the front page of my site im saying that the site has over 6000 users and in /members it says that are only 4000. Im losing credibility.
Other people suggested that selecting another filter like “Alphabetically” or “Last registered” should show all the users… Thats not my case.
Wordpress version: 4.3
Buddypress version: 2.4
Im using a custom theme that uses this to show the amount of users:
```
<div id="pag-top" class="pagination">

		<div class="pag-count" id="member-dir-count-top">

			<?php bp_members_pagination_count(); ?>

		</div>

		<div class="pagination-links" id="member-dir-pag-top">

			<?php bp_members_pagination_links(); ?>

		</div>

	</div>
```

```
$blogusers = get_users( 'blog_id=1&role=subscriber' );
foreach (%bloguser as $user)
    {
       bp_update_user_last_activity($user->ID);
    }
```

Note this % in foreach (%bloguser as $user) and missing s
It should be $blogusers

Are you sure those members are all subscribers?
Remove your mu plugin.
Try this in your theme/functions.php or plugins/bp-custom.php
Remember to remove it when done.
```
function mie_add_last_activity() {

  $subscribers =  get_users( 'fields=ID&role=subscriber' );
  
   foreach ( $subscribers as $user_id ) {
        bp_update_user_last_activity( $user_id, bp_core_current_time() );
   }

}
add_action('bp_init', 'mie_add_last_activity' );
```
