BuddyPress.org

permalinks seem to be fine as i’ve changed a couple of times on seperare wordpress install (same server) format YEAR/MONTH/POST

Hi Hugo,
I posted this a few days ago but didn’t get a solution so i thought i should fill in the support details fully.

So I have wordpress installed at http://www.mydomain.com/SITENAME/wordpress – using the montezuma theme which is apparently compatible with buddy press.

I download, installed and configured buddy press and can see the “activity” and “members”
menu items, assigned the pages etc.
However when i try to edit my profile or view mentions through the buddypress toolbar menu.. i get broken links… the URL for these links is (by default)

“SITENAME/wordpress/members/admin/profile/public/

(NB. I did note that ‘index.php’ was not in the URL for any of the buddypress links but was
for my blog links.)

(Just to mention i haven’t changed anythign as of yet, just installed WP in the a domain sub folder and then installed buddypress)

I’m presuming i need to change a variable in a config file to point to
wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-members ?? or something like that?

And yes i can change permalinks and have done that but no change. Also get the
“permalinks updated successfully” message.

Would appreciate alternative solutions.
I could potentially remove and install in the domain root…. but i didn’t do this because i dont want http://www.mydomain.com pointing towards wordpress install.

Thoughts on how to resolve ?

Might be important to mention i have a seperate wordpress install running in a different subfolder… no issues with either seperate install – just with buddypress links

thanks

@modemlooper would you be able to assist with this ?

I basically dont want http://www.domain.com point towards my blog..
I believe if i follow @chouf1 ‘s suggestion it will.

Thanks for your suggestion.

@chouf1

Thanks for your suggestion.

If i do as you suggest above will the root then point towards my site ?
as i dont want this… i want the URL to my site to be domain.com/subfolder/wordpress.

The root domain points towards a different site (non wordpress)

Can you explain a bit more ?
I had no problems setting up wordpress, it works fine in the sub directory…but
when i installed buddypress I’m getting broken links (just in buddypress)

I believe there should be a pretty simple solution to this if you know how…

thanks

@mercime : I have contact my web hosting company and they said they support buddypress installation.

they said you might have a problem with your .htaccess redirecting.

please have a look on its code

@mercime Thank you for your decent reply.

I will check with them now and will let you know.

I just want to modify my last problem … I can use the registration via wordpress , but nothing related to buddy press or bbpress is working … forums and groups member and the rest.

Thank you again.

thanks for the response. . wordpress is working fine…
just the links issue as described above

@mercime I prefer not to use plugins as much as I could, besides in this case there is no hearty one (just some of not bad plugins in codecanion for purchasing and one on wordpress.org -menu effect- not working at all). So I’ll spend some hours to find the best way of sub menu animation specially for BP default theme and if I get a result I’ll send words.
