BuddyPress.org

Well, I’ve been frustrated by this now for weeks and no-one seems to want to try and help. Let me describe two scenarios that demonstrate the two problems above in the hope that someone will try to solve them:

1. I have just installed a completely fresh WP 2.92 and BP default 1.2.3 on my local server (localhost). I followed TO THE LETTER the instructions given on https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/. Permalink is set to the first non-default option. The install went well and the site looks good. However, Clicking on the menu items Members, Groups, Forms, Activites etc gives:

HTTP/404
The requested URL alias for /members/ is not defined.

Question: What do I do to get the pages display properly?

2. I Have a live site waterwaywatch.org which fares somewhat better. I can get as far as Member and Group pages but if I try to click on a member to display their profile, the site re-directs to About.

Please, please, there must be someone out there who can help me on what both seems to be fundamental path issues. In both cases .htaccess contains:

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

Thanks in advance
