Does buddypress require a theme to work?

I am new to wordpress/buddypress. I have windows 7, WP v4.2 and BP v2.2.3.1. I am testing on localhost machine and have also setup a virtual host: buddypress.local:1234/WP

After activating buddypress (i have set the permalinks to other than default and checked anyone can register), when I try to register, the page just refreshes with all fields filled and the passwords fields reset to empty. How can I fix this? I have the default theme twentyfifteen enabled.

Further, any ideas on how can I test buddypress features? Do I need a buddypress compatible theme which exposes buddypress features in WP? Or can I use the default twentyfifteen theme to test buddypress features like groups, profile, notifications etc.

1) your are logged in that's why you are getting all field allready filled except password.

2) buddy press is compatible with all themes there is no specific theme for this .

3) If you have buddy press installed then check your admin dashboard there should page with title Activity View it . This will display the buddypress activities . for more information follow. Link here

try to hit the url www.yourdomain.com/activity/

Note

Buddy press will not work with default permalink structure . Your permalink structure should be Postname
