BuddyPress

Hello,

First off I want to say how much I’m loving BuddyPress as well as the plethora of tips I’ve found around these forums. I’ve been scouring Google for hours now trying to find a fix but to no avail.

My issue lies in the user profiles. When I visit my profile page on my BP installation, the only field that shows up is ‘name’ which is the default. So I added a few new fields under the base category and then headed back to my profile to see how they looked. Not only do the new fields not appear, but clicking on ‘edit’ under the profile tab leads to “Page not found”.

The URL I get is; http://www.trendkilleronline.com/members-3/TonyIsaza/profile/edit/group/1

I don’t know if it’s related but there is a also ‘view’ link that appears beside the status update text next to the main profile pic, and this also leads to a 404 with the same URL.

Considering the importance of being able to edit your profile on a social site, fixing this has become a major issue for me. As such, any help AT ALL would be greatly appreciated!!

*Bump*

Anyone?

Component page title should have the same slug i.e. “Members” page should be /members/ not /members-3/ So go to admin menu Pages > All Pages and delete pages titled “Members” then go to “Trash” and select pages titled Members and select “Delete Permanenently”

Now go to create a new Page titled Members and publish. Double-check page slug is /members/
Go to menu BuddyPress > Pages and associate Members component with the new Members page you created.
Change to bp-default theme and check that everything’s in order.

Mine’s like this too and my slug is set to “members”

I’ve posted 5 articles about it but can’t find them. if anyone finds a solution to this please e-mail me at robpachasa@gmail.com

I’m so fed up with buddypress. Can’t even set up this “award winning plugin” = fail.

It is unfortunate that you’re having a hard time setting up BP. Have you checked out server requirements and other installation guides at BuddyPress Codex. For example:
