dear developers, dear community,

we do have an issue when we want to delete an account. for example, if i browse to “my account” via the buddypress top navigation and further “settings” > “delete account” everything works fine; i can set the confirmation that i understand what’s happening next, but when i click on the “delete account” button, i got a blank page.

after inspecting it, it seems that there is a 404 thrown, at least it’s in the site’s header information. so i first thought, the target url was wrong ..

urls as follows:
“account deletion confirmation”: members/tester/settings/delete-account/
“404 error” after sending on: members/tester/settings/delete-account

.. but it seems to be correct.

so therefore i collected all necessary data – hoping that helps a bit:

on a sidenote, we’re expiriencing other troubles by trying to delete that (or other) user(s) via the wordpress user management in the backend (then it’s a 500, not 404).

many thanks in advance,

@medani: Did you solve this?

[medani]

we didn’t solve this…
We have updatet the installation to WordPress 3.0 and the newest Buddy press Version….

has anyone any ideas or the same problem??

If you’re experiencing problems deleting users via the WP user management panel, then it’s probably not strictly speaking a BuddyPress problem. You might try deactivating BP (deactivate BP-dependent plugins first!) for a moment, to see if you’re able to delete members with BP turned off. If not, then your problem is WordPress related.

[medani]

Deleting a user is possible after Deactivating BP.
Since our update to the last BP-Version we don’t get an Error Message any longer (only white Screen)
May any ideas?

[Boone Gorges]

Is there anything in your error logs that might be helpful?

[medani]

no nothing useful in the error-log

it works on a fresh installed test-system.
might be a bad installation…

@medani: You have to upgrade to the latest BuddyPress, It was a bug in our version.

I am unable to delete members via the BuddyPress admin bar (I receive the following message: “There was an error deleting bob from the system. Please try again.”). I have to go into the WordPress user admin to delete them. (WordPress 3.0.1 & BP 1.2.5.2). Any ideas? (I’ve tried reverting to the default them and deactivating all plug-ins except for BuddyPress)

I still get a “Nothing found” page.
