Only Home and Dashboard open up, other links give error 404

I have followed the instructions to install buddypress.

I have downloaded and activated the buddypress theme bp-columns.

But only the Home tab and Dashboard open up. The other tabs like members, profile etc. give an error 404.

I am using Wamp server

Am I missing something ?

Thanks

Make sure that your have chosen and saved permalink settings to anything other than the default permalink in Settings > Permalinks.

Yes I have chosen a different pemalink setting.
But still it does not open up?

Also how do we edit the navigation bar on the top of the page ?

Thanks

Missed that you were using WAMP. Read this to resolve permalink issue so your BP component links will work

Navigation bar for BP-column theme would be in the header.php file

Thanks.
I have already followed the link. What happens is that the tabs on navigation bar like activity, profile upon up right.
But the links on the admin bar for messaages, friends etc dont work and give error 404

Noticed that on clicking the links from admin bar – the url rendered is: “…index.php/members/profile”

Now if I remove index.php from the url and try to load the page it loads.

Kindly help asto where I am going wrong.

Thanks

I use XAMPP myself since I’ve read all the problematic stuff that goes with WAMP server even without BP

What’s in your htaccess file now?

Read https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/seeing-page-not-found-on-activity-members-groups-blogs-tabs/#post-46478 with some solutions below.

EDIT – why don’t you just delete that index.php/ since it works for you? Does it break anything else?
