I have a similar issue. After plugin updates, the activity page url often stops working.

To get around it I have to add “-3” to the end of the activity page url, and then create a redirect as we have urls going to the activity page in our menu. It works for a while, but eventually stops working. When this happens, I change the url back by removing the “-3” and remove the redirect.

I need to change the members url as well by adding “-3” to the end of it, or removing it depending on which url is working.

This typically only happens after running plugin updates. This last time a plugin auto updated and we lost our urls. wpmudev. I’ve turned off auto updates so I can keep an eye on things, but it would be good to know what’s causing this.

I have the latest version, and BP classic, also the latest version. WP and everything else is kept up to date.

Thanks
