Ilya-

I understand!

It is actually an issue with the way WordPress, or more precisely, Automattic has created the registration script. The script allows for spaces but then it can cause login problems.

Unfortunately, that issue needs to be addressed at a different level than BuddyPress. Since all of the moderators donate our time on these boards (i.e. we do not work for Automattic), we have no control over this issue.

As I said, I had the exact same issue and the only solution I had was to create a new username.

That is good to know. I’m going to set your thread as solved then.

I am running BuddyPress 1.0, WP 2.7.

Are you running WP 2.7, as in single-user WordPress?

If so, that is your issue. BuddyPress only runs on WPMU (multi-user version). Also, you need to be running WPMU 2.7.1 and not 2.7.

If you are asking about bbPress themes in general, then Google and you’ll see that there are a number of themes available for bbPress.

If you’re asking about specially customized BuddyPress-friendly bbPress themes, then the answer is as jjj points out above. With v1.0 of BuddyPress just released, theme designers are more than likely working hard at creating new, custom themes.

Once bbPress is publicly released in a stable version, I would imagine that some theme designers will create BuddyPress-friendly bbPress themes as well.

Remember, these are open source projects. The vast majority of the human resources poured into the community are done so for free. WordPress, BuddyPress, and bbPress all come with themes by default. It is up to the community to take those basic themes and create more flexible, powerful designs.

Are you using the .htaccess file that comes with WPMU?

Have you placed that in WPMU’s root?

[@jeffsayre Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Tony & Sgoetz-

Thank you for your suggestions!

These ideas will be better heard if you do one (or both) of the following:

1. Post them in this BuddyPress Dev Group
2. Add an enhancement-request ticket to trac

[@jeffsayre Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Have you included this code in your bbpress header.php theme?

<div id="search-login-bar">

<?php bp_search_form() ?>

<?php bp_login_bar() ?>



<div class="clear"></div>

</div>

Are you using a customized theme? If so, have you tried switching to the standard BuddyPress themes to see if the issue goes away?

Freaking Wildchild-

the problem occurs after restoring “certain” data which gives this behavior.

What do you mean by “certain”? Can you be more specific?

htaccess is same as htaccess.dist

Are you using the .htaccess file that comes with WPMU? If so, have you placed it in the root directory of WPMU?

[@jeffsayre Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Alunsina-

Okay, a few questions then:

1. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed? If so, have you tried deactivating them?
2. Which version of PHP are you running?
3. Which version of the GD module?
4. Are there any errors in your error log? If so, what are they?

In fact, I just figured out the problem.

I just went back and read the history.txt file myself. Well, guess what, this is a change Andy made just before he made v1.2 an official release. Ready?

Removed call to bp_example_add_activity_bullets_css() as will no longer work and is theme specific.

[@jeffsayre Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

BeLogical-

Okay, several issues. You are still using the old v1.1 for the code that you sent me. Are you also using v1.1 for your bp-example.php file? This code, as you know, is outdated.

Just within this file, you need to replace every instance of MUPLUGINDIR with WP_PLUGIN_URL.

Then, make sure that in bp-example.php, you have this line and not the v1.1 version.

$bp->example->image_base = WP_PLUGIN_URL . \'/bp-example/images\';

Your best bet is to compare each file of v1.1 with the new v1.2 files. Also, make sure that your custom component is in /plugins/ and not /plugins/buddypress/.

Finally, make sure that you read the history.txt file to see some of the more substantive changes from v1.1.

WillPCG-

Okay,a few more questions, just to be thorough:

1. Which version of PHP are you running?
2. Have you made any changes to the .htaccess file?
3. Did you even copy over the .htaccess file from the new WPMU package to your WPMU root?
4. Questions about upgrading WPMU:

   • Where you running WPMU 2.7.1-beta1 before upgrading?
   • If so, how did you upgrade to the public version of WPMU 2.7.1?
   • Did you add the one additional define line to WPMU’s wp-config.php file? If not, compare the 2.7.1 config file to your old one. This line is new:

     define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

   • To complete your WPMU upgrade, did you go to “Site Admin > Upgrade” and finished the process?

5. Are you running any plugins other than BuddyPress? If so, have you tried deactivating them?

Great! You’re welcome and I’m glad you got things working.

[@jeffsayre Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Gcs123-

You’re right, switching to the default home theme solves my problem, however is there any modifications I can make to my custom theme to enable it to work?

Without knowing what you changed, and without seeing your files, it would be impossible to tell you what to change.

Your have two choices:

1. Compare your current themes to v1.2 of the Skeleton Theme and locate the differences. Then, change as appropriate.

2. Copy the standard BuddyPress themes, use them as your starting point, customize as desired.

[@jeffsayre Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Okay, since we’ve had a few people make this mistake I need to ask this just in case. Everyone in this thread who is having 404 issues is running BuddyPress with WPMU and not the single-user version of WordPress, correct?

This means downloading WordPress from here: https://mu.wordpress.org/download/

Specifically @Sgoetz-

Running WPMU, ran automatic upgrade to 2.7.1 prior to installing BP

Were you running WPMu 2.7.1-beta1 before upgrading?

If so, you cannot upgrade from beta1 to public 2.7.1 using the automatic upgrade feature. This is because the upgrade script “sees” WPMU 2.7.1 = WPMU 2.7.1, meaning it does not upgrade you from beta1 since it thinks you are already running 2.7.1.

So, you must manually upgrade WPMU following these instructions: https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WPMU

[@jeffsayre Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Gcs123-

As Enlightenmental1 states, try switching to the standard BP themes. If the problem is solved, then the issue is with your themes.

Also, if you are still using v1.1 of the Skeleton Theme, you need to upgrade. There are important changes in v1.2. If your custom theme is based off of v1.1 of the skeleton, then look at v1.2, find the differences and change accordingly.
