Any help would be appreciated!

I’ve installed wordpress into my / folder. All runs well, themes and plugns load and install ok.

I then installed buddypress.

I had to add a .htaccess file with.

# BEGIN WordPress

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

# END WordPress

Menus and all seems to work ok except

Now I get “Oops! This link appears to be broken” when I try to create groups.

And when I create a new member they only show in wp-admin members, but do not appear in buddypress? And I can’t login using them?

If you deactivate buddypress..can you create and use custom permalinks in your WordPress install? Try something like /%category%/%postname%/

Do they work, can you go to page, post and category pages with custom permalinks turned on?

You need to get this working on your base WordPress before installing BuddyPress

I deactivated BP set the custom permalink as you suggested.

The child BP theme lost all off its menus. However I can select catagories but when ido the page comes up with this error in the post.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_core_get_userlink() in homehnt12a135wp-contentthemesbp-columnsindex.php on line 28

With BP activated the posts show ok

Tried using the wp default theme. All works fine, with BP deactivaed. can post read, categories pages read ok. No errors

To confirm: you can use custom permalinks without problem in the default wp install.. Changing them as suggested to /%category%/%postname% ?

If that’s the case, try installing BuddyPress plugin again using the automatic install, switch to the bp-default theme, and let us know the outcome

Re: new members – did you create them in the admin system or through the BuddyPress registration pages?
