@mercime the other is the Advertise Here link. The Connection Link is the members link – i just renamed the link.

Re Blog link:
1) yes that is how the blog is created..
2) I am not very fluent with how to use fire bug. So here is a sc of what i see.
http://joycenter.org/images/sc/idc-firebug.png As i previously stated I copied your code and made only the necessary changes.

Thanks for all of you help.

[drmikelbrown]

@mercime thanks for the tip. now I copy pasted your code, changes the links, changed the " to the quote mark and it works well but when I click the link the link on the nav bar is not selected on either two of my links. see image below ….

please advise

[drmikelbrown]

Uh, just realized that I can’t add the php code here but I am sure that you understand my problem.
Thanks for your help….

[drmikelbrown]

@mercime I tested what you suggested here. I discovered that if i just removed the two lines that stated here that the second nav is removed. This is perfect but if I add custom links I have two problems.

1) I can only add the new custom links to the beginning of the of the unordered list.
2) Of course the css selection does not work.

How do I fix this below is the code:

`

• Advertise Now
• Blog

<li class=”selected”><a href="” title=””>

<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>

<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>

<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>

<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>

<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>

<!– #REMOVED PHP SCRIPT

and

–>

`

Please advise…

@David thanks this worked perfectly. I was trying a bunch of different redirects but I keep getting caught in a redirect loop. Thanks this helped a whole lot.

@ Paul

Thank you. I actually saw the setting under the network admin > settings > network settings > Registration Settings. Now my question is which setting should I check? I am thinking since my site is a new site with no one on it expect me that I could select “Both sites and user accounts can be registered” or should i select “User accounts may be registered.” I guess my real question is what is the difference between the various selections?

Thanks

@mercime @blogurp @granville Before I go any further please allow me to say thank you for all of your help. I am post the solution to my problem in hopes that it will help someone else.

The problem was with the .htaccess, not its configs but it was the permissions. I had a security plugin installed that told me that this file needed to be locked down and it gave me two settings. I choose the stricter setting and did not realize I locked my whole site. The hosting company saw it in the error file (AGH, I did not think about checking these but I should have.)

Thanks Again

@ mercime

My bad I communicate my point incorrectly. The generated code from the network did create the .htaccess in the backend of wp. I copied the code and pasted it over the exsiting .htaccess. It’s not a .htaccess plugin. However I am currently looking in the backend to locate that code again and I have not found it yet. Any ideas?

Thanks

BTW, I have dropped a ticket at my hosting company just to cover all the bases.

@blogurp

I choose sub directories because I thought it would be easier of the to methods. The code that i have in my .htaccess was provided by the plugin. perhaps i should recut and paste in order to insure that I copy/pasted all of the code.

I’ll let you know what happens. Thanks guys for all of your help..

@blogurp

I am using the default BP theme it should work. That would be too crazy.. to purchase a theme to get buddypress working when the pre-packaged theme designed by bp does not work. that would be funny if this was such a serious problem for me. BTW what theme did you purchase.

Thanks for your help. Does anyone know what is another idea is to getting this working?

Thanks again.

[drmikelbrown]

Sorry bumping again. I was almost ready to to my site live and this update set me back in a major way. Please help.

thanks to everyone that has helped me so far.

[drmikelbrown]

Again I am sorry for the bump…. anyone have any idea concerning this??

[drmikelbrown]

@ granville

according to the bp plugin documentation the. htaccess file was to be changed to this:

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

# END WordPress

I did that. am i suppose to leave the olf RewiteCond?

Thanks

[drmikelbrown]

@ mercime

[drmikelbrown]

bump. please excuse my bumping this but i need to get this working, any help would be greatly appreciated.

[drmikelbrown]

@mercime

thanks for all of your help. I will do what you suggest here. I did know about the list that you provided:
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/

My question is how current is this list as I know that BP-moderation has been update as per the Group here on bp.

Thanks Again.

[drmikelbrown]

@mercime

via ftp i did what you stated and now i can get into the backend and see the site.

The theme is the default is wordpress’ Twenty Eleven 1.2. I assume that this means that I am having a plugin problem? my site is idreamconnection.com

now what do i need to do?

thx

[drmikelbrown]

Bump. Sorry to do this but i really need to resolve this issue. I’ve been working on it for a couple days now.

[drmikelbrown]

Can someone help me with this problem?

Thanks

[drmikelbrown]

@ali would you mind sharing the function that you used to get the links to open in a new window? The above mentioned plugin is not working for me.
