@ granville

according to the bp plugin documentation the. htaccess file was to be changed to this:

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

# END WordPress

I did that. am i suppose to leave the olf RewiteCond?

Thanks

Sorry bumping again. I was almost ready to to my site live and this update set me back in a major way. Please help.

thanks to everyone that has helped me so far.

@blogurp

I am using the default BP theme it should work. That would be too crazy.. to purchase a theme to get buddypress working when the pre-packaged theme designed by bp does not work. that would be funny if this was such a serious problem for me. BTW what theme did you purchase.

Thanks for your help. Does anyone know what is another idea is to getting this working?

Thanks again.

@blogurp

I choose sub directories because I thought it would be easier of the to methods. The code that i have in my .htaccess was provided by the plugin. perhaps i should recut and paste in order to insure that I copy/pasted all of the code.

I’ll let you know what happens. Thanks guys for all of your help..

@ mercime

My bad I communicate my point incorrectly. The generated code from the network did create the .htaccess in the backend of wp. I copied the code and pasted it over the exsiting .htaccess. It’s not a .htaccess plugin. However I am currently looking in the backend to locate that code again and I have not found it yet. Any ideas?

Thanks

BTW, I have dropped a ticket at my hosting company just to cover all the bases.

@mercime @blogurp @granville Before I go any further please allow me to say thank you for all of your help. I am post the solution to my problem in hopes that it will help someone else.

The problem was with the .htaccess, not its configs but it was the permissions. I had a security plugin installed that told me that this file needed to be locked down and it gave me two settings. I choose the stricter setting and did not realize I locked my whole site. The hosting company saw it in the error file (AGH, I did not think about checking these but I should have.)

Thanks Again
