Just installed BuddyPress 1.2.4.1 on a site using a custom theme.

Anyone have any ideas why BuddyPress pages would display as expected but all return a 404 header HTTP status?

Is there any special rules I need to add to my .htaccess for BuddyPress pages to not return a 404 header status?

I just noticed if I create a page called forums in wp-admin, the forums directory still shows but a HTTP/1.1 200 OK is then returned.

part of bp_core_do_catch_uri() when a template is not located then:

if ( $located_template = locate_template( array( ‘404.php’ ) ) ) {
status_header( 404 );
load_template( $located_template );

thanks @nuprn1, I switched back to the dafault BuddyPress template & the same happens.
any other ideas?

I am experiencing the same problem on a
WPMU new install
WP 3.0 RC3
1.2.4.1
Are others experiencing this issue?

I am seeing at least a few others who are having similar issues.

@thekmen – This could be fixed in BP 1.3-bleeding version, but for the 1.2 branch, please report it as a bug.

[@thekmen Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

@r-a-y I have another WP3 RC 3 with BP 1.2.4.1 install on the same server & it doesn’t occur.
I want to do a fresh install with 2.9.2 and see if I can reproduce but not sure if there is much point as it looks like WP3 will be out today or tomorrow.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

Surely this comes back to the fact that 1.2.4.1 is not really that stable paired with WP 3.0? I realise that it’s meant to run with WP 3.0 but there do appear to be issues, which would make me wary of running the combo on a production site.

[@thekmen Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

@hnla the issue is happening me on a 1.2.4.1 BP install with WP 2.9.2, my install with WP3 RC is fine

[@thekmen Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

did the WP admin update to WP3 & still have the same issue, need to sort this ASAP, any ideas?

[@thekmen Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

resolved, it is an issue with the nightly builds of bpAlbum +,

@nuprn1 @tober11 @r-a-y @hnla @thekmen

Just to confirm to the group that this problem *was* due to a defect in the BP Album+ *nightly build* code (not the release version).

Based on the excellent debugging info provided by @thekmen, we were able to quickly isolate and correct this problem. It has been fixed in all nightly builds from 0.1.9.2010-06-25 onwards.

Debugging a complex application like BP Album+ is a team effort. If you ever suspect a problem on your system is being caused by BP Album+, contact us right away. We will do our best to replicate the problem and give you an answer as quickly as possible.

Thanks!
