[Resolved] Problems Getting BuddyPress Running

    We’re just starting out with BuddyPress. It’s all new with current versions: WordPress 3.3.1, bbPress 2.0.2, BuddyPress 1.5.4. Using site-wide forums only, group-forums page attached to discussions in BuddyPress but not used and talk used as the forums slug in bbPress.

    No custom themes at this point or code changes. This is a fresh install. It’s hosted at Media Temple.

    So I’ve clearly missed something. Attempting to go to the /search page redirects to the home page. All pages are properly showing up in the BuddyPress Pages configuration.

    So I’m not sure if I missed some setup or where to look for a problem. I thought I covered everything but it appears not.

    Advice on troubleshooting?

    site.com/search/ is a bit of an oddity. You’ll note testbp.org/search/ redirects, too, so it’s not a specific problem with your site.

    /search/ is basically a search/redirect handler. Based on what parameters are passed in the GET request, it will construct an appropriate search URL for the component that you’re searching for. It’s not a google.com-style search page (although that might be nice to do in the future).

    For example, searching testbp.org for “paul” with “members” selected in the dropdown box posts the form to /search/, which then redirects to http://testbp.org/members/?s=paul — which is the appropriate search slug for the members component.

    Hi guys,

    Sorry for posting here but i’m new and havent found how to post a new question.

    I’d like to COMPLETELY delete buddypress… To reinstall it and recover in such a way the original configuration proposed.

    The problem is everytime i deactivate and delete buddypress plugins and themes, check it is done in the repertory and delete wp_bp tables… my old undesired buddypress is still there when i install it again.

    I’ve also taken a look into my wp_options tables (i have a couple of them since i installed a network) but none of them contains such files as these:
    * bp-db-version (for BuddyPress 1.5)
    * _bp_db_version (as of BuddyPress 1.6)
    * bp-active-components
    * bp-blogs-first-install
    * bp-deactivated-components
    * bp-disable-account-deletion
    * bp-disable-avatar-uploads
    * bp-disable-blogforum-coments
    * bp-disable-profile-sync
    * bp-pages
    * bp-xprofile-base-group-name
    * bp-xprofile-fullname-field-name

    I’ve been here (https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/deleting-buddypress/) and it seems i did everything ok but it still doesnt work…

    Could you please give me a hand?
