I just tried the work-around (hack) provided by @puckettventures and it does solve the issue. However, this is not ideal because those changes will be lost on update.

I’m experiencing the same issue. After I visit BuddyPress pages and then navigate to any standard or template page, except the homepage, but including the blog, I get a 404. Sometimes a simple refresh will work. Sometimes navigating to a new page will work. Sometimes the issue will not be fixed unless I refresh Permalinks or log-out and log-in again.

WordPress 4.2.2
BuddyPress 2.2.3.1
bbPress 2.5.7 (though, the issue continues even when bbPress is deactivated)

This issue was asked on another post that was closed before an answer was provided:

This post had a resolution:

I have checked and Mod_Rewrite is enabled through htaccess as defined here:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /higher/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /higher/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Am I missing anything here? This appears to be an issue with BuddyPress. Does anyone have a resolution?
