“BuddyPress ready” – this is new to me Ummm… I’m just using 20 10 default that came with WordPress. If there is another can you point me to it?

Thank you!

@pjnu I’m pretty sure I just did. If you’re not comfortable using the latest BP trunk or consistently updating the theme, I’d suggest waiting for BP 1.5 to be released and then download the theme from the WordPress theme repository as soon as it’s available.

@pjnu To use the theme prior the official BuddyPress 1.5 release, you must consistently update both BuddyPress (https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk) and Frisco (https://github.com/davidtcarson/frisco).

The BuddyPress team is making updates everyday to BuddyPress 1.5. And I am making updates almost every day to the theme. If your BuddyPress version has not been updated or the theme has not been updated, you should expect to see strange results.

This will all settle down once BuddyPress 1.5 is released and Frisco theme is in the WordPress theme repository.

@pjnu What version of BuddyPress and WordPress are you using?

“Frisco requires BuddyPress 1.5 and WordPress 3.2.1 or 3.3 (nightly build).”

Sorry to post so much, but I found what the problem was. It’s a plugin called “Permalink Fix & Disable Canonical Redirects Pack”. It was really useful because I can use MAMP + wordpress on firefox, but it went rogue.

So now here’s the new problem: How do I work on my wordpress/buddypress on firefox? Because now I get this like before:

“The page isn’t redirecting properly.
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.”

More specifics…
for example, if I press the “about” page from the menu bar, it goes to http://localhost/wordpress/category/betas/
BUT what it shows it the homepage. Is it possible this is not a permalinks issue? (sorry, I should’ve said this earlier, but it still redirects the data to the homepage, just not the url)

@djpaul What specifically would you like to see?

Under my htaccess file, I have

bp-maintenance.php
bps-maintenance-values.php
default.htaccess
deny-all.htaccess
maintenance.htaccess
secure.htaccess
wpadmin-secure.htaccess

default.htaccess looks like this:

`# BULLETPROOF .46.D >>>>>>> DEFAULT .HTACCESS

# If you edit the line of code above you will see error messages on the BPS status page
# WARNING!!! THE default.htaccess FILE DOES NOT PROTECT YOUR WEBSITE AGAINST HACKERS
# This is a standard generic htaccess file that does NOT provide any website security
# The DEFAULT .HTACCESS file should be used for testing and troubleshooting purposes only

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress
`

Or how would I go about attaching the correct permalink to the bbPress forum topic like:

/wordpress/topic/test-3/

Instead of

/activity/31

@Stigmartyr
Thanks for the article. I will play around with that.
The permalinks structure that you used doesn’t work on mine unfortunately; I just get redirects to my homepage.

@Paul_Gibbs

My site is not live, I’m building it on MAMP.

Buddypress 1.2.9, WordPress 3.2.1.
I’m not using Multisite.
Is IIS the thing microsoft makes? If so, no, I use a mac.

I’m using BuddyPress 1.2.9 and WordPress 3.2.1

Yes, Paul, that’s the one.

I was able to get what I needed by copying a search form from wordpress (it only searches posts and pages), and then activating a plugin which prevents pages from being searched so that only the posts are searched.

Zen, I will also try your form and see which result works better for me. Thanks for that.
