@djpaul any advice?

I’m actually thinking about dropping buddypress if this doesn’t get itself fixed.

[esploded]

@mercime any advice?

[esploded]

Also about my original question too (The problem still isn’t fixed), are polls and “likes” hard to make?

[esploded]

Thanks @mercime for the advice, but it still won’t work! ARGH.
Setup:
Single WP, MAMP (mac server), Not on a domain yet, but is on the root of MAMP/htdocs/wordpress
I did all of the steps above, but still no use. I hate you “There are no posts for this topic.”!

Also, what do you mean by I didn’t “install/active BP in a subfolder/subdomain”? My buddypress site just has a tab under “community” which leads to the groups, forums, etc.

[esploded]

@mercime anything you can do to help?

[esploded]

WP- 3.2.1
BP- 1.2.9
Single WP
Normal 1-step install of bbPress.

Are there any known plugins that will mess with bbPress?

[esploded]

One thing- I don’t seem to have any databases (according to WP-DBmanager plugin) that have to do with BBpress. It says in a different forum topic that I should have
“wp_bb_forums
wp_bb_meta
wp_bb_terms
wp_bb_term_relationships
wp_bb_term_taxonomy
wp_bb_topics”

if this is the problem, how do I add these databases?

[esploded]

Anyone?
If it’s difficult, please suggest a forum plugin/service that I could use.
I desperately need the ability to “like” somebody’s forum post, as well as create polls.
(it still must integrate with groups and be private to anybody not allowed to access it)

[esploded]

Sorry to post so much, but I found what the problem was. It’s a plugin called “Permalink Fix & Disable Canonical Redirects Pack”. It was really useful because I can use MAMP + wordpress on firefox, but it went rogue.

So now here’s the new problem: How do I work on my wordpress/buddypress on firefox? Because now I get this like before:

“The page isn’t redirecting properly.
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.”

@djpaul @Stigmartyr all right, I think this isn’t a permalinks issue. I deleted ALL of my posts, making my homepage naked except for the slideshow (now empty), menu bar and widgets. Now when I click on a page (say about), I get

Quote:

Not Found

Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.

Any ideas on what the problem is?
Or should I create a new topic?

[esploded]

More specifics…
for example, if I press the “about” page from the menu bar, it goes to http://localhost/wordpress/category/betas/
BUT what it shows it the homepage. Is it possible this is not a permalinks issue? (sorry, I should’ve said this earlier, but it still redirects the data to the homepage, just not the url)

[esploded]

@djpaul What specifically would you like to see?

Under my htaccess file, I have

bp-maintenance.php
bps-maintenance-values.php
default.htaccess
deny-all.htaccess
maintenance.htaccess
secure.htaccess
wpadmin-secure.htaccess

default.htaccess looks like this:

`# BULLETPROOF .46.D >>>>>>> DEFAULT .HTACCESS

# If you edit the line of code above you will see error messages on the BPS status page
# WARNING!!! THE default.htaccess FILE DOES NOT PROTECT YOUR WEBSITE AGAINST HACKERS
# This is a standard generic htaccess file that does NOT provide any website security
# The DEFAULT .HTACCESS file should be used for testing and troubleshooting purposes only

# BEGIN WordPress

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

# END WordPress
`

Do the plugins I run have to do with this?
It happened suddenly- though I don’t remember running any new plugins.

@Stigmartyr

I’m using MAMP which is a local hosting application for Mac.
It runs Apache and MySQL.

[esploded]

Meant @djpaul
sigh.
delete and edit on buddypress.org is not functioning

[esploded]

Here are more specifics about the problems.

-All pages redirect to home
-When clicking on a specific group, it redirects to home
-When clicking on a specific forum topic, it redirects to home
-Friends, general groups, general forums and activity stream work fine

@Paul Gibbs (sorry edit on the forums aren’t working)

[esploded]

@Stigmartyr
Thanks for the article. I will play around with that.
The permalinks structure that you used doesn’t work on mine unfortunately; I just get redirects to my homepage.

@Paul_Gibbs

My site is not live, I’m building it on MAMP.

Buddypress 1.2.9, WordPress 3.2.1.
I’m not using Multisite.
Is IIS the thing microsoft makes? If so, no, I use a mac.

[esploded]

But aren’t the ‘appropriate files’ bb-config.php which are automatically generated?

[esploded]

Oh, all right.
So I just download the patch, and open it?
I assumed I could just change the code from bb-config.php

[esploded]

anyone?

[esploded]

WP and BP are all up to date.
I’m using MAMP, so I don’t know how to find the error logs.
I did change the code in bb-config.php
This is really annoying.

Is it possible to use a different forum service and integrate it into groups?
I might go that route, because this forum app doesn’t have much functionality anyways…

[esploded]

I’m really sorry
I posted this in the wrong forum section.

[esploded]

I’m completely new to programming-
Is a poll plugin difficult to create?
And by ‘use buddypress seperately’ does that mean that I should use it as a plugin and link buddypress to it?

[esploded]

I want to be able to create sub categories, polls, as well as advanced sorting of the threads.

I also am experiencing a bug (or just a weird error) when I click a thread, it just says
“There are no posts for this topic.”

One more thing – are there any plugins that allow for advanced settings for groups?

[esploded]

Thanks for the answer.
So in these cases, should I just pay somebody to make one for me?
Or is it even possible?
