I’ve got the same problem. having followed mecime’s links, I reinstalled WP to the root directory but no change.

On mouseover, the link shows itself to be eg http://localhost/activity/ and there is no such directory… Checking other BP sites shows the same link – but there it works…

Any smart people know what’s going on?

thx
David

“and there is no such directory…”

t will not make a directory on the server. They are *virtual* the same way pretty permalinks work.

@ppdesigns please give a link to your site. You don;t move the bp templates to the top level folder of your install. This is all *theme* based. Any templates files you move from the default BP theme go in the theme you want to use.

And yes, buddypress is what I would call intermediate usage.

Just a heads up in case it wasn’t realised, using caps on forums/lists ( or generally around the net ) is considered to be the equivelent of ‘SHOUTING’ hence you will find it upsetting people and being remarked on

someone already said about that & I already apologised x I realise they had and you did it was simply an explanation of why it’s considered wrong to do this as that wasn’t explained.

Your link as posted above ‘ bournemouthmassage.com/wp ‘ did not resolve ( resolve, i.e the server could not be found – commonly due to no dns records existing for that domain name ) is that definitely the correct form of the domain name?

@ppdesigns == pages I’ve created are mysite/wp/index.php/groups ==
BP devs are going to improve support for Windows – IIS servers since adding that index.php for almost pretty permalinks does throw up errors
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2299 . In the meantime, if you’re working on Windows XP/7 etc, install XAMPP. Or, if you’re on webhost, move to a Linux/Unix server for a more relaxing experience.

@davidbennett what @andrea_r said above. I recommend that you start a new topic of your own.

EDIT- took too long to answer, didn’t see all the conversation already going on

If you use Linux hosting, you won’t need to use index.php in the URL at all and that already solves possible major headaches in the long run

Thought so you’re on a Zeus server so I’m sorry to say you will have a struggle getting permalinks working correctly, this server is problematic in this regard, ideally a straightforward tried and tested LAMP stack works best and without any major issues is best. You may need to contact your tech support to try and resolve this or you can google to find a whole lot of posts about this issue and how to try and configure things but it requires some tech knowhow.
