Thank you all for the ideas. I guess it is time to hack qTranslate

[lostdeviant]

That was it! The conflict is with the qtranslate plugin. http://www.qianqin.de/qtranslate/

I started a new thread in the qtranslate plugin forum to let the author know.

It would be great if someone here could confirm it. This worries me since it was the only multilingual plugin that I could find that would work with MU.

It puts language content in html language tags including titles. With that plugin off everything appears twice wherever I had added a translation.

@Lostdeviant

Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated. If so, temporarily deactivate all of them except BP and see if that makes a difference.

[lostdeviant]

Are there extra lines for the .htaccess to make buddypress specific pages work?

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

Unless someone’s fiddled with the htaccess, the default one should work.

[takuya]

There may be plugins. And this question is about wpmu and not buddypress (although buddypress may save files there, or ?). Visit wpmu forums and search, so you may find related and detailed information.

[takuya]

How about pasting your .htaccess here so DJPaul or other experts could get some more detail.

[lostdeviant]

when I changed the permalink back to default, instead of getting “page not found” the buddypress pages didn’t load anything new just the same page refreshed without any error message. in other words, that didn’t work either.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

If you’re running BP 1.1 RC, my Achievements plugin won’t work.

[Andy Peatling]

Sounds like your MySQL information is not correct. You should wipe and re-install again.

[Andy Peatling]

I don’t understand the problem here.

@wordpressfan: your bug is related to the achievements plugin by the look of that error, not BuddyPress itself.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

Please would test setting the permalink back to the default and see if that makes any difference? This seems to ring a bell…

[lostdeviant]

yes, by default theme I mean the buddypress one..

[wordpressfan]

I have the same trouble (example). This is a very troublesome bug, especially for sites that link-out all the time.

[lostdeviant]

to remove the possibility of some undefined file not uploading correctly, I made a zip file with everything, uploaded that and extracted it with the control panel file managerbefore activating (again) buddy press and the default theme.

no change.

[lostdeviant]

I’m deleting my buddypress directory again and uploading the newest trunk.

[lostdeviant]

Is the CSS being loaded?

yes I see style when using the theme, but as I mentioned all the buddypress specific pages are “page not found” in otherwords the widgets and the regular MU stuff loads like blog posts and blog pages.

Have you changed the permalink settings in WPMU?

not recently. Currently:

custom /%postname%/

Do you have a htaccess file in your WPMU install?

yes

Since you say you have uploaded manually, you may have missed a file or put something in the wrong place. Or perhaps the file/directory permissions need setting correctly? (I’m not sure what to, try 777 for a test)

well, I’ve reuploded everything at least once. Which files should be changed to 777? I didn’t see anything in the readme about making everything publicly editable.

Can’t you post url to your test site? is it local? or screenshots maybe?

no, because it is a real site, after I finish making sure Buddypress still doesn’t work, I deactivate the Buddypress plugin and reactivate my normal theme.

local? not sure what you mean by that.

everything LOOKs good except for the “page not found” where the normal content should be on buddypress pages. I see the style and widgets load.

[lostdeviant]

what more details should I post?

[Andy Peatling]

It works fine with subdirs or subdomains or with WPMU in a subdirectory. Please post more details about your setup, perhaps we can debug what is wrong with it.

[takuya]

btw, if you go to wpmudev.org, there’re premium plugins to turn wpmu into social network without buddypress. That’s another option if your current problem doesn’t get solved.

[lostdeviant]

finished re-uploading no change.
