Reply To: Problems setting up pages and other: due to softaculous or my ignorance?

disable all plugins except buddypress and twenty-something theme – does it work?
My guess is your wp / BP may work fine without the zippy courses plugin – if it works fine with no other plugins – then your issue is with those plugins, not a BP issue per se.
No WP and BP do not work with default theme and all other plugins disabled?
yes you need permalinks pretty – I think.. when you set that does it actually write to your htaccess file? or is there some text that appears at bottom of screen (below scroll view sometimes) that tells you need to manually add the new htaccess code?
still not work? you may…
Looks like you may have some corrupted files somewhere – I would make a backup of your databases and zip up your files for a backup (there is a reasonable backup thing in softalicious backend) – remove the wp installation through softalicious – remove the whole wp / bp setup – start fresh.
If exporting your database through phpmyadmin, click advanced / add / drop table or something (directions in wp codex)
You can install WP through softalicious and then add BP no problem in my experiences.
(I would not count on softalicious to do your updates, gosh fantistico was horrible at that, and WP has it’s own auto-update thing going on these days anyway)
/random thoughts from a user, not a BP dev or anything – other advice may be better.
