BuddyPress.org

Hello,
Recently I updated to all the latest versions of BP and WP. Everything seemed to be going swell, except then I realized that in our activity streams certain links are not working as they should, rather they are redirecting to the home page. Is there some way to force refresh all the permalinks in Buddypress perhaps?

My permalink structure is: site.com/%category%/%postname%

When I hover over the ‘view’ link my browser status bar shows the URL is formated by BP like: site.com/activity/p/1234

Normally when you click the ‘view’ link the site will redirect to the correct URL like: site.com/members/stig/activity/1234/

Oddly enough if I take a link that isn’t working and I manually form the URL like the end result should look even that goes to a home page for any of the links/activity posts that aren’t working…

Some of my links are doing this correctly and some of them just redirect to the home page. I’ve tried changing and saving my permalink structure countless times but the issue persists. The permalinks can be changed in the dashboard I verified that’s working because my URL structure changes, but it doesn’t resolve the issue I’m having with activity links..

I’ve read tutorials on modifying .htaccess with stuff like:

‘RedirectMatch 301 /([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/(.*)$ http://www.site.com/$4’

However Im not that savy with .htaccess rules and I don’t think the above code is written correctly to handle activity links. Also if I’m manually forming the URLs and they don’t work I don’t expect this method would work either..

I’ve tried this with the default BP theme and it’s still broken. I’ve researched as many threads as I could on this site and WP.org and while I now better understand the use of permalinks I’m still stumped on this issue.
