BuddyPress

Summary of issue: Home link is incorrect. All other links work correctly.

I’m slowly making progress with BP. Earlier I was not able to get BP 1.2.3 installed but was fortunate to get svn installed.

Everything appears to work except the link to the “Home” is incorrect.

Go to http://www.layneheiny.com and the blog postings show.
Click on “Home” and it goes to http://www.layneheiny.com/blog

Since WP is actually installed in /blog then maybe something isn’t correct elsewhere.

I’ve tried to read the other postings but most are being specific to their hosting environment.

This is the .htaccess in the root (no htaccess in subdirectory /blog)

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Thank you for any suggestions.

Is there a way to change the link in that the home menu tab points to?

i tried this and it breaks the install http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/

Hi
If i install WP in a subdir then the homelink is incorrect. This is because the call for the homelink is set by the tempatetag site_url() and not bloginfo(url). So to correct this edit line 48 in header.php in bp_default theme like this.
Before:
After:

WARNING. This changes will be lost if you upgrade buddypress. A bettter way to do it would be to create a child theme and copy header.php to the child theme. Or even better create a function in functions.php that fixes this.

Nav code cut-out frpn header.php

<li class=”selected”>
<a href=" ” title=”">

Question: Is this a known bug?

Sorry. The code was missing
Before; <?php echo site_url() ?>
After: <?php bloginfo(url); ?>
