I spoke with my host yesterday and they said the only thing they could pinpoint that might be related is the following line in .htaccess:

Rewritecond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

I don’t think that is the cause but do others have the same line in their .htaccess?

I use custom menus so I don’t have that issue.

I also get a 302 status code when trying to go to /forums.

ch8rt and mrwweb, I’ve had the same issue for about a month now and haven’t made any progress. Maybe we can put our heads together and work our way through it?

If going to /forums goes to the homepage and not 404 it means it is a rewrite issue, correct?

Permalinks are set to /%postname%/ and Activity, Members, Groups sections all function properly.

This seems like the place to go with questions about the forum, so here goes:

I can’t get to the forum directory. If a user tries to go to http://www.intennis.com/forums they are redirected to the homepage. If I go to a group page and then click on forum from within the group I can see my test post (http://www.intennis.com/groups/forum-test/forum/ as an example). But the main /forum directory doesn’t work. Does anyone have any idea of what may be broken?

This seems like its some sort of rewrite issue – does anyone have an example of what my .htaccess file should look like? I noticed in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-admin/includes/defaults.bb-htaccess.php there are a bunch of rewrite rules, none of which are in my .htaccess currently.

Then I ask why does everything else work if they don’t have the rewrite rules either, so I don’t think this is the problem. I’m trying to pinpoint the issue but always end up back at square 1…

Am I supposed to get the following message when going to /wp-content/themes/theme_name/forums/index.php?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /home/intennis/public_html/wp-content/themes/intennis/forums/index.php on line 1

Has anyone experienced the same redirect when trying to go to the forums? I switched hosting this past weekend and it was working fine before the move, now after forums just redirects to the homepage.

[javy]

Well I’m at a dead end here, would anyone like to give me another nudge in the right direction?

I think I need to correct myself in my first post, it seems that I was mistakenly calling wavatars gravatars. Oops! Wavatars are the randomly generated ones, right?

I had a revelation after realizing this though. I don’t want to stop people from getting their Gravatar if they have one, I just want to replace the Wavatars with my own images. So Im thinking I’m going to set the Default User Avatar to “Mystery Man”, then in the following line in /bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php

` if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg’ );

if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT_THUMB’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT_THUMB’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-core/images/mystery-man-50.jpg’ );
}`

I was going to change images/mystery-man.jpg into `images/.jpg` and upload my 14 avatars (with filenames 1 through 14) into that images folder.

My issue is, if i was to do that, I’d somehow need to get the same image in the ‘-50’ version in the line below. And it also appears in bp-core-admin.php and bp-core-templatetags.php so I’m not sure what I’d do with them there. I was hoping this would be an easier solution. Any ideas?

[javy]

Of course thanks for the direction though, I think I have an idea of what to do. Will post my results.
