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,
chris

@medani: Did you solve this?

[@medani Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

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??

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

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 Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

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?

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

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

[@medani Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

no nothing useful in the error-log

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

[@tyckr Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

@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.
