Fresh install of OS, WordPress, and Buddypress – The only plugin installed before Buddypress was ‘All In One WP Security’ (using only it’s default settings) to prevent bots/spam. De-activating WP Security plugin, and then uninstalling/reinstalling Buddypress does not solve the problem.

Wordpress – Directory install
Buddypress path – /user/share/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/

Wordpress works fine on it’s own – default WordPress theme Twenty-seventeen

* The following code was added to wp-config:
define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’);
define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://MySiteName.com’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://MySiteName.com’);
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’);

* Buddypress: installs, activates, and creates it’s blank pages (Registration, Activation, Members, Activity…) but all pages return 404 errors.
* I do see the ‘Welcome to Buddypress’ splash page, and under Dashboard>Settings>Buddypress, all options are available, but have no effect on the installation. It’s as if Buddypress and WordPress are sharing the same space, but are not interacting. I do not find ‘Buddypress Theme’ in my dashboard either.

Thank you for your time.
