I have BuddyPress installed and it is asking to change the default permalinks. BuddyPress will not work with the default. Once I change the default to any other option, the categories break and the posts will not show up anywhere. I cant find a way to fix it. I have reinstalled WP and need a solution prior to reinstalling BuddyPress.
Thanks.

I have the same error here and it seems to me that the problem is somehow related to the warning-message i get:
Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /is/htdocs/…/bp-core.php on line 315 (the last line in the following code)

/**
* bp_core_is_root_component()
*
* Checks to see if a component’s URL should be in the root, not under a member page:
* eg: http://domain.com/groups/the-group NOT http://domain.com/members/andy/groups/the-group
*

* @return true if root component, else false.
*/
function bp_core_is_root_component( $component_name ) {
global $bp;
return in_array( $component_name, $bp->root_components );
}

I was not getting the error. just a 404 and the categories would not work.
How can I fix it or can I leave the permalinks as a default.
