I noticed that changing the wordpress permalinks adds .htpasswd and .htaccess into the wp-content/uploads/avatars folder. Deleted these files and the images re appeared.

Why would this be?

Solved, thanks for you help, this was the issue…

One of the options to change the site URL is to add:
update_option(‘siteurl’,’http://www.example.com’);
update_option(‘home’,’http://www.example.com’);
to functions.php file

I did this, but added to the core theme functions file.

I now have added this to functions.php in the Buddypress theme under plugins > bp-themes > bp-default and it works

Thanks

Thanks,

issue: links to pages changed sitename to ‘named’ URL and, but links for buddypress data, eg users remains as numbers, 192.xxx.x.xxx URL, so not changed.

I changed the sitename in the wp-config.php file with:
define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://www.example.me/wordpress’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://www.example.me/wordpress’);

checked the database, bb_meta and wp_options has the changed URL’http://www.example.me/wordpress

Looking further, on the settings > general page the fields have been greyed out, but only the Site Address (URL) has registered the change, the WordPress Address (URL) remains as the numbered IP and is not changed.

It looks like the issue is that the ‘define’ code in wp-config needs to change the WordPress Address (URL), but has not.

Thanks
