    The solution for me was:
    # install bbPress plugin (via BP settings, but I don’t think it matters)
    # rename ‘Forums’ page slug I had created to forums-home (so as not to have conflict within bbP config)
    # disable ‘Forums’ in BP ? Components

    Now the forums work! However, they don’t seem to integrate with the sitewide activity stream… but that’s another topic…

    Yay, my first bug! I’m so proud. Luckily I should be able to batch-update al the user_nicename and user_url that have -2 in them…

    Okay! Did some troubleshooting as you suggested, Boone, and here’s what I’ve found that seems relevant:
    By default on my install, BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE was “true”. I’m not sure why. When I explicitly defined it to “false”, MY user profile page worked:
    mysite.com/members/alex-weber/ — and /members/alex-weber-2-2/ did not (more on that in a second)
    also, mysite.com/members/ragnar/ (previously working) does NOT work with compatibility mode = false.

    here’s the relevant fields from the db, maybe this will shed more light…
    `mysql> select user_login, user_nicename, user_url from wp_users where user_nicename like “ragnar%”;
    +


    +


    +


    +
    | user_login | user_nicename | user_url |
    +


    +


    +


    +
    | ragnar | ragnar-2 | http://mysite.com/members/ragnar-2/ |
    +


    +


    +


    +
    1 row in set (0.00 sec)

    mysql> select user_login, user_nicename, user_url from wp_users where user_nicename like “alex-%”;

    +


    +


    +


    +
    | user_login | user_nicename | user_url |
    +


    +


    +


    +
    | Alex Weber | alex-weber | http://mysite.com/members/alex-weber-2-2/ |
    +


    +


    +


    +
    1 row in set (0.00 sec)`

    NB: I manually edited the user_nicename with SQL for Alex Weber to remove the -2-2.

    Thanks for the info again, Boone!

    The ticket you linked does seem somewhat similar — my user login was registered /before/ we installed BP, and has spaces in the login. It’s entirely likely that I changed my pw or something (using wp-admin) and that appended the -2s to my username. So with that said, let’s ignore the -2 issue as that seems to be in the past and I can easily URL-rewrite around it.

    As per the experiment you suggested: I commented out that line, and cleared W3 cache. accessing http://mysite.com/members/alex-weber%5B/anything%5D still doesn’t work.

    Thank you again. I really can’t say it enough!

    Digging a bit more, I found a discrepancy on my test site’s activity page between the link on my avatar and that of the activity meta. The latter seems to reference `user_url` according to the WP Cache Inspect plugin — and we’re using W3TC for caching on both production and dev sites. Before you ask, yes, I frequently clear the cache — just about every time I make another change.

    avatar link (`bp_activity_user_link()`): http://mysite.com/members/alex-weber/
    activity-meta link (`bp_activiy_action()`): http://mysite.com/members/alex-weber-2-2/ — which is what it used to be, before I modified the record in the db.

    NB: neither of these links work to access my profile. I’m not even sure if this is relevant, tbh, but it’s all I have to go on right now.

    Thanks for the reply!
    No such luck, Boone. I tried adding that to my custom-functions.php and didn’t see any change.

    Also, I’ve noticed it’s not just my handle causing problems. There was some bug previously that caused some usernames to be appended with ‘-2’ … e.g. /members/ragnar-2/ … Now, when I try to access that user’s page, I get the same (404) error, and similarly must remove the ‘-2’ (/members/ragnar/) to access their profile.

    I appreciate any leads the community has to offer to help me track down the source of this!

    Try disabling your plugins and see if that fixes it. Also make sure to search the forums for more ideas about troubleshooting javascript problems (here and wordpress.org)
