BuddyPress.org

@newdermeo Go to your wp-admin i.e. example.com/wp-admin and on the left side, there’s a main link named Settings. When you click on it, you’ll find the link to “Permalinks” and click on that. Then you choose other than what is set as default and click on the Save button.

@newdermeo did you change your Settings > Permalinks to an option other than the default one and clicked on the Save button?

In addition, I only added the link to the multisite configuration just in case you had a multisite installation. Did not intend for you to create one. My apologies if adding that second link confused you.
