BuddyPress.org

Hi Rishraj,

I ran into the same issue this week and I have resolved it on my end. If you’re having the same issue, I hope this helps you.

My exact issue:
* My scenario: WordPress + buddypress, trying to log on from the main page through the Buddypress default theme sidebar login.
* When served off local machine with Xampp: Works
* When served off professionally hosted remote server: Doesn’t work (408 timeout). However, login directly through wp-login.php did work

Solution:
In bp-themes\bp-default\sidebar.php, you will see the code:`<?php do_action( 'bp_sidebar_login_form' ); ?>
<input type=”submit” name=”wp-submit” id=”sidebar-wp-submit” value=”<?php _e( 'Log In', 'buddypress' ); ?>” tabindex=”100″ />`

Swap these two lines:`<input type=”submit” name=”wp-submit” id=”sidebar-wp-submit” value=”<?php _e( 'Log In', 'buddypress' ); ?>” tabindex=”100″ />
<?php do_action( 'bp_sidebar_login_form' ); ?>`

What I did:
I used firebug to compare the HTTP POST messages being sent when I log in through the sidebar or directly through wp-login.php. The only difference I saw between the two was:

Sidebar login order of parameters (broken): login, password, redirect, wp-submit, testcookie
wp-login.php login order of parameters: login, password, wp-submit, redirect, testcookie

I don’t know why they’re swapped in the sidebar code. I also don’t know how or why swapping them could result in working in some environments and timing out in others. Can anyone else chime in here?

Same here after an install of 1.7.2 and 3.5.2 with multisite.

It does seem to be an issue so I suggest you file a bug report at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
