ray, I attempted the solution you recommended. You fixed my problem. I would like to point out though, that it initially caused an error (bringing the whole site down), because the pasted text created what appeared to be italicized quotes, instead of straight quotes. Once I changed these to straight quotes, the problem was corrected.
Thank you all (Ray, Paul, John) for helping. I will post this solution to the other post with issues as well, and I will also learn how to make the mini plugin you recommended so I can learn and help others.
John, I copied your web.config file to my server and am experiencing the same problem. I have found several others here on buddypress experiencing the sdame thing and it seems thye are all hosted on Godaddy as I am:
I had already changed my permalinks option to day and name. I changed it again, and then back to day and name. I still do not see this file, and I also am still having the problem. just so we are clear, where should this file be created, and is the entire file name “.htaccess”?
1 – WP Version 3.0, BP version 1.2.5.2
2 – I cannot locate an .htaccess file anywhere. I did some reading online and found that the .htaccess file doesnt exist unless needed by wordpress for permalinks? If this is the case perhapos the godaddy permissions are not allowing this file to be created? If thats true, I can call godaddy and ask them about this, unless you know how to enable this functionality?
3 – Theme – Standard BP Theme | Plugins: A lot, but I had tried disabling them and getting the same error. Here is the list: Add Logo to Admin, Akismet (disabled), AWPCP, BP Events (Disabled), BuddyPress, BuddyPress Community Stats, Email Login,
Fast and Secure Contact Form, Google XML Sitemaps, Jet Event System for BuddyPress (Disabled), Members Only, Secure WordPress,
SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam, Welcome Pack, WP-Mail-SMTP
4 – Godaddy, shared, Windows ( ica change off of windows if needed, this is not critical for me)
Interesting: I jsut noticed that if I go to the user dashboard, there is amuch more detailed profile, with may fields, this updates and is correctly working. the buddypress user profile is the one throwing the error / redirect. It also only has 1 field “Name”
