BuddyPress.org

I’m experiencing the same issue. After I visit BuddyPress pages and then navigate to any standard or template page, except the homepage, but including the blog, I get a 404. Sometimes a simple refresh will work. Sometimes navigating to a new page will work. Sometimes the issue will not be fixed unless I refresh Permalinks or log-out and log-in again.

WordPress 4.2.2
BuddyPress 2.2.3.1
bbPress 2.5.7 (though, the issue continues even when bbPress is deactivated)

This issue was asked on another post that was closed before an answer was provided:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-iis-and-randomreoccurring-404-errors/

This post had a resolution:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/page-not-found-error-on-static-pages/

I have checked and Mod_Rewrite is enabled through htaccess as defined here:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /higher/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /higher/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Am I missing anything here? This appears to be an issue with BuddyPress. Does anyone have a resolution?

Have you tested this plugin ?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-upload-avatar-ajax/

Depends where wp is installed ! Usually at site root.
See your WP settings (settings > general) if unsure.
Remember also that BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.

Getting Started

Hello,

Same problem here… Has anyone found a solution ?

When I’m on a mobile, the wordpress admin bar shows up but there are no button on it to login or register..

And there is also a black/grey bar on top of this bar.

Screenshot if it can help : https://i.imgur.com/lGbOSWO.png

Thanks

@minglonaire,

i’m part of the one percenter who cares about well formed urls and a basic system which is working on 23% of www’s sites !

If you have enhancement ideas, feel free to post in the appropriate forum or open a ticket on Trac.

BP is only a WP plugin and doesn’t handle registration. On the other hand, WP use a very short registering form, containing 3 fields: username, email and password.

First and last name are optionnal fields on the standard WP user profile. These fields are not mandatory, never appear on the registration page and it’s in the freedom of everyone to use them or not. When BP is installed, he provides a mandatory Name field, which can be used to enter a username or a first/last name.

Even if i have no percentage to give you, i’m pretty sure that almost all users are satisfied to use a CMS which doesn’t ask them for real names at first ! And why not their address, blood group, gran’mother nickname or their mom’s phone number ?

This are privacy options, and WP is smart enough to not abuse of such things, by default. Smart enough also to use the simpliest existing register routine, like all other major web operators, a username, a valid email and an encrypted password.

Anything else is matter of flexibility, one of the major interrest to use BuddyPress. And definetly no, not all communities have members who knows each others. Don’t make you the spokeman of such behalf speculation. 😉

I think you’re confused by system requirements and your own desires. To get it clear for the register aspect, read here please.

Oh, and the answer to your question is here:

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

Theres a plugin which does what you mention. BuddyPress Activity Plus you can find it from the plugins page in your WordPress admin area.

Hi pixskull

You have a number of options. There are plugins you could install which would help you. Also there is the code-it-yourself approach. It depends on your time, coding skills, requirements etc.

Check out https://apppresser.com/ as well. It lets you build apps with WordPress.

@minglonaire have you tried this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-login-redirect/

Ah right this is why those version requirements are listed and need to be paid attention to.

Regardless of the plugin issue, this forums advice must start and finish on updating WordPress then BuddyPress it is really inadvisable to run with versions that are this outdated, WP had a major security update around the 4.0 point.

Ho @vignesh-m,

I’m the WangGuard developer.

WangGuard is free is you don’t make $200+, you are a company or you don’t make more that 5.000 queries day.

You need an API Key because your WordPress has to “talk” with WangGuard server, it is like Akismet, you need and API Key, but it is free. In any way, if you need to get a “Premium” API Key, it will be 12€/year. I think it is very cheap.

Kind regards
José Conti

@vignesh-m,

Please read the doc, according to plugins description:

WangGuard Always will be free for personal use, this means that whenever you have less than 5,000 daily registrations or you make less than $200/month, you never have to pay anything for WangGuard.

The issue is in the BuddyPress Live Notifications plugin.

You should report the issue and your fix to the plugin authors:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-live-notification

The bbPress plugin integrates into BuddyPress, not the other way around.

So your question is best suited on the bbPress forums:
https://bbpress.org/forums

I can tell you that multiple group forums are not officially supported in bbPress at the moment though.

You’ll want to keep your eye on this ticket:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2191

You’ll probably want to follow this guide:

Twenty Thirteen Theme

The guide is for the twentythirteen theme, but it works as a general guideline with any theme. Replace the references to the twentythirteen theme with your theme and you should be good to go!
