I’m using buddypress 1.13. Here is the url: http://socialpress.co.za. I’ve read everywhere to disable the plugins and I have tried that and re enabled them. Same 404 error page. I have even tried other themes but it still won’t work.
I also can’t get the RSS site wide activity feed to work: http://socialpress.co.za/activity/feed
I had to add extra chars to that URL: http://socialpress.co.za/friends/activity/feed and then it works but I know this is not the best solution and for some reason when I add the extra chars aka “friends” to the delete link http://socialpress.co.za/friends/activity/delete/123?_wpnonce=30864bbwe2, it only works for the administrator and not always.
Back to the topic, everywhere on the site where there is a “delete” button next to the content when clicked gives the 404 page error if I leave the link as it came with BB.
Here is my permalink setting: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%
Hmm, your the third one on the forum having trouble with this.
We might get some clarification if you answer these questions.

my rewrite module is turned on but it still won’t work.
try this one. I had written about it in forum, so you can find it by searching the forum. Or check my post here
http://www.thinkinginwordpress.com/2009/11/tweaking-the-registration-link-at-wpmu-login-page-to-point-to-buddypress-registration-page/
That should do the trick.
Thanks

Word. Patch it!
I’ve been having sign up spams (arguably a different issue) on my BP install, and just shut all signups down until I could figure out what to do about it.
Scouring the WordPress MU forums has made me realize three things:
1. Spamming is a huge problem for WordPress MU users
2. I’m betting that BuddyPress will/might have even larger problems due to the very nature of the beast (it’s all about users, right? Which is where the bots/spammers gravitate)
3. There are no sure-fire methods for preventing spammers
…well, there’s a fourth, too…
4. Many of the old hats on the WordPress MU forums are getting tired of explaining how to defend against so-called “splog” signup bots and spammers.
Just some observations, as BP just received its first official spammer. (Yes, I got the email too, and saw the small twitter firestorm this morning over it.)
I’ve spammed the user – please don’t re-post the messages in the forums since that sort of aids their cause.
The group component can be disabled; but how to only allow PRIVATE GROUPS where the groups forums are also not created in bbpress (and visible) ?
Edit: Just noticed that there is a plugin to do this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bpgroups/
thanks.
you mean the discussion topics shown at the bottom of the home page.
well, I am using external bbpress with deep integration to buddypress/wordpress mu.
The topics are coming from https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-latest-discussion/ plugin.
Though, if you want to do the same using internal integration
have a look here
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/
specifying the action as “new_forum _post” should do that.
Hope it helps 
Good to see some new themes published!
May I ask something slightly off-topic? How did you get this done? I always have problems doing that outside the forums!

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/restricting-group-creation-to-admins#post-31264
This is a problem with sitewide activated plugins upgrade.
Please check David’s reply here for a fix.

I posted this elsewhere but it now belongs as part of this discussion: When using Buddypress, should /wp-signup.php result in an blank page or the registration form (or redirect to /register)? If the issue described here exists, how do you get the proper default buddypress behavior?
see: http://ttacconnect.org/wp-signup.php
I could delete /wp-signup to remove the errors but I’d like to understand how bp and wpmu is designed to work (are there any consequences for deleting wp-signup.php?).
I know BuddyPress is using /register.php and not /wp-signup.php. But when /wp-signup.php is hit (typically by spam bots) a PHP Warning is generated. No white space outside of php closing tags in header.php. I’m not too concerned about that as I figure if it’s working as it should (no registration form), then the php warning will take care of itself (and not be generated). So what needs to change to get /wp-signup.php to result in a blank page?
PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at xxxx/bp-sn-parent/header.php:3) in xxxx/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 865
See no Warning and no Registration Form (blank page). Is this the proper default buddypress/wpmu behavior?
http://nourishnetwork.com/wp-signup.php
Here /wp-signup.php was deleted and results in a page not found:
http://memomu.com/wp-signup.php
wpmu 2.8.6 with active plugins on main bp site:
bp 1.1.3, bp-groupblog, auto group join, Group Forum Subscripton, bad behavior
@dwpers you can still make a post as sticky from Individual group->forums, but not the categories currently.
New topics or post replies are made within the BP Groups that you’ve enabled bbPress forums.
This was previously discussed here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-codex-down
So, members should have already been aware that there are some issues with Codex being down
Bpdev (nicola) is a bit behind with development, as far as I know. But he’s been active again lately so it might work again with the buddypress 1.2 release.
I’m planning on getting this to work with my bbpress forum and inline blog editor. Don’t really need to load that huge wysiwyg editor from wordpress admin.

i confirm bb-config.php is set to “utf8”
i changed all Collations from wp_bb_ “latin1_swedish_ci” to “utf8_general_ci”
i deleted the old entries and create new ones – character problem is SOLVED – everything is now readable. 
thank you vm for your time and precious help djpaul.
The problem is that they need to be the same (ideally, utf8) – this gives the ??? problem.
I’ve just done a test install and it’s installed the databases with these types.
If you look on the bb-config.php in the root directory of your site, I bet the “charset” is set to “UTF” — but the database tables are still installed as latin1.
The forums component is probably the weakest area of my BuddyPress knowledge. I’ve had a look at the code and I can’t see anything obviously wrong. I’ll let you know once I have news.

you are right – in the collation column i have “latin1_swedish_ci” & “utf8_general_ci”. could you drive me from here?
Thanks nisigia. Bad news I think I know the problem and I’m not sure how to fix it easily. Will you confirm this?
Your wp_bp_* MySQL tables are of type ‘utf8’ but wp_bb_* are of latin1?
