Solution towards bottom of the thread

@djpaul – did you follow the link to the related thread? – they give a clear outline on how to recreate the problem (and in the Core not a plugin)

put this in the gallery group

You should set your slugs in wp-config.php Comments should be fine in bp-custom.php – there must some error in the way you have the file set up Ps you are right that functions.php is theme specific, and bp-custom.php is install wide. However there are also order of invocation issues.. They don’t happen at the same […]

unless you, or someone else comes up with a patch you can use

@pcwriter No, any new template tags will not be recognised by your 1.2.5.2 installations. I’m dismayed by the 1.2.5.2 -> 1.2.6 decision making – with users unable to use 1.2.5.2 themes on 1.2.6. You’d expect some new features in a minor subversion upgrade, some additional template tags you could take or leave, but not for the […]

remove the space from the username – not sure how you managed to get one in the first place; I thought BuddyPress prevented usernames with spaces

Did you look in the documentation section before posting, or use the search?

This has been covered many times in the forums, and there are sections to read in the Codex Documentation on how to check your site is configured…[Read more]

This is also reported here, so definitely seems to be a problem in 1.2.6: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/1-2-6-upgrade-xprofile_get_field_data-with-checkboxes-no-longer-working-correctly/

@boonebgorges, @djpaul – one to fix in the core a.s.a.p. I suspect

@pcwriter – Yes, the performance thing was interesting. Quoting his SEO recommendations ( @mikey3d) as though he were an authority, wasn’t so clever. Here’s a link from seomoz.org (they make their money knowing about SEO): http://www.seomoz.org/knowledge/url – they are also open to reasoned debate about whether they are right or wrong! — As for…[Read more]

Your site was working fine when I went to it… clicking through to the profile worked without problem from the members directory. Note: though your url is wrong in this thread… there should be a space (%20) between the “the%20duke”. Which edit menu is giving you the problem? Maybe that one is stripping out spaces. […]

And is it the activated theme on your BuddyPress site?
Do the other BuddyPress links work.. Members, groups, activity?
Hover over your profile link – which URL is it trying to send you to?

It would be fine, if Otto wasn’t misinformed about SEO. Having a meaningful category name in there does help, and having your postname (keyword rich) as close as possible to start of the URL helps.

Either that, or seomoz, and lots of other SEO experts are completely wrong.

Try changing your permalinks to /%category%/%postname%/

Can you do that, or do you get an error message?

If successful, do BuddyPress links now work
If not, you need to configure your server correctly for WordPress before using BuddyPress

Have you installed / activated a BuddyPress compatible theme, eg bp-default, on your BuddyPress site?

have you used firebug to inspect? Which theme are you using? Have you tried with bp-default? Does it show in safari / ie / chrome? One thought.. Is the table marked up correctly? V4 of firefox is much stricter re: table markup needing to be valid. Have a search of firefox site for details on […]

Look at BuddyPress template tags in the documentation section.
