The problem that I am experiencing is with a regular wordpress theme. After I installed buddypress and all the other plugins to make it compatible with my theme. I try to go to the buddypress pages (such as activity/groups/ and so on) and the pages come up but on top of the browser, it says “Not Found” | domain.com…
I have looked everywhere and tried just about everything and can not seem to get this working. I know that if I use a “buddypress theme” This problem does not occur. But of course, I don’t want to be limited to the few buddypress themes that I found, when there are many nice wordpress themes I could work with.
If anyone can please help me out, I would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.

Are you using pretty permalinks as required by buddypress? ( https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#wp-configuration )

i set the permalink to custom “/” and i have the problem with the non-buddypress theme and not with the buddypress theme

== i have the problem with the non-buddypress theme ==
If you want to use your WP theme with BP, you need to install the BP Template Pack plugin and go through the compatibility process.

@d34thst4lker I suspect this is a permalink issue as aces said above. What urls are coming up for the BP pages currently?

“i set the permalink to custom “/” “

You filled n the wrong values. Basically what you put there will never work. On any theme.

I have all the plugins installed. ok I understand that having “/” as a custom permalink wont work. But it does work on the “buddypress” theme… And if that is not the right kind of permalink structure… Then can you give me an example of what YOU would use? Thank you

[d34thst4lker]

and an example of my problem is, “http://d34thst4lker.com/members/d34thst4lker/”
If you were to go to that link you will see that it takes you to the page but on the top of the browser is says “Not Found”

PS: this site is just a demo site for test purposes… But of course I would like to get this stuff working so I know how to implement it on real sites.
Thanks again

What do you have in your .htaccess file?

[d34thst4lker]

# BEGIN WordPress

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

# END WordPress

`
# BEGIN WordPress

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

# END WordPress
`
works for me with permalinks set as Day and name
Try resaving your permalinks?

[d34thst4lker]

Still not working

[enderandrew]

Did you change your permalinks setting as well as using the .htaccess settings aces recommended?

[d34thst4lker]

yes i did

[enderandrew]

It doesn’t look like permalinks aren’t working correctly.
