I created the bp-template.php file with the entry above and that got it a little bit closer to complete functionality, all the links except the one to the main page now work (the link to the main page in the BP bar at the top returns a 404 error).

A more serious issue arises when trying to login to the site as administrator through WP. After filling out the name and password on the WP login screen I am redirected to a 404 error. The only way to get things working again is to deactivate BP and BP Theme Pack.

Baby steps I guess. Thanks for your continued support on this issue.

I’m hoping by posting to this question again it will get bumped and maybe someone will have an answer. Going though the forum, I see that I am not the only person having these problems (the same question has been raised in a few different ways, but the core issue is the subdirectory install of WP). Please help us resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Same here. I have tried everything and the 404’s keep coming. Any help would be greatly appreciated. For now I have deactivated BP and hope that someone documents a fix.

I had the same problem. I solved it by using FTP to delete the BuddyPress folder from the plugins directory on my host. Now I can login, but BP is gone.

I have permalinks set to custom structure with a value of “/%category%/%postname%/”

my .htaccess file on the root directory reads as follows:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>
