I should also add my development site is in a subdomain. Not sure if that’s related.
Do the mappings show if you go the BuddyPress > Pages in the wp-admin?
It looks fine: https://i.imgur.com/kLMjz.png
I tried creating new pages with different names, but that didn’t work either. Widgets, avatars, etc. work, just no pages.
Could you supply a quick guide on how to upgrade to RC1 from 1.29? Should we delete or override the older files? What if any changes should we make to the RC1 folder names…. etc. I think I got it right, but for trouble shooting purposes I want to be sure.
Thanks
Upgrading is as easy as removing the old BuddyPress folder, and putting the new one in place (make sure you call the new directory “BuddyPress”, just like the old one), and then running the upgrader when you log into wp-admin.
When you visit any of these blank pages, do you get any messages in your error log?
No error messages.
How do you re-run the upgrader?
I get this error when actavating the plugin:
“The plugin generated 1 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.”
I restored the database to before I attempted upgrading and went through everything step by step with the same results.
I don’t have any ideas right now, especially if no errors in your web server’s log… have you tried re-downloading BuddyPress 1.5 and upgrading, in case there was some sort of error in the version you’ve been trying with?
Oh: are you running on multisite?
Nope. 
I was just going to ask if multisite was an issue. Is multisite required?
Solved!
I forgot to remove the bb-custom.php file in the Plugins folder.
Sorry for wasting your time. 😳 😳 😳
Looks great, can’t wait to dig in.
I’m a bit baffled that /plugins/bb-custom.php would somehow break BuddyPress, but hey — glad you’ve got it working What did you have in the file
Basically 3 things. An embedly hack, a latest forum topic widget and a hack to allow the correct avatar upload path because it’s in a sub-domain. That latter would be my guess.
