It helps if you try and supply a little detail to your post, what setup have you got , versions etc, what have you tried thus far i.e have you followed all the steps to set up these aspects in the BP settings. Are you using a custom theme if so have you performed essential basic step of reverting to the bp-default theme with any plugins installed that may conflict disabled and does the issue still exist then when running a basic standard install.
When you say re-install via ftp how did you originally install? Via a one click control panel install? if so then, yes do perform a fresh install, but after checking issue still exists with default setup
Oh and please don’t write in caps, it’s not necessary and does not get you any quicker attention. Writing in all caps is considered shouting and impolite
Hugo,
My sincerest apologies. I am embarrassed to have been so abrasive and adamant about my issue. Looking at the post and the manner of which they were posted is not me. So again, thank you for responding and understand that I have taken note and will be more patient in the future.
Being said, I have the latest WP and the latest BuddyPress installed. I did install through the one click installation. I purchased the “Salutation” theme from Parallelus and before I migrated my site to a dedicated server I was able to create groups and forums as a user. I will go through each plugin associated with BuddyPress and assure there isn’t anything I missed.
I will post me result.
Thank you again, Hugo.

WordPress should be installed manually i.e. via FTP, cpanel, etc. and NOT via webhost scripts which bring about numerous issues when BuddyPress is activated. – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server
mercime,
Thank you for your feedback. I went through the criteria for steps before installing and I fit the bill as far as the criteria to check before activating BuddyPress. Everything was working beautifully until I migrated my site to a Dedicated server. As far as other functionality, everything else works with ease and to be expected with BuddyPress.
I “soft launched” my site yesterday and have about 20 or so users, so it’s not a problem. But if you recommend anything, that would be great.
In the interim, I am going to reinstall first, the buddypress and deactivate the additional plugins that push buddypress to see if there is a plugin that isn’t playing nicely. Also, please feel free to take a look around (“the strength” is my friends list and “beerstrong activity” is the activity list”) and perhaps you may notice the way it’s behaving, if there’s an issue.
