Can't Browse to Setting Page

Hi

I’m using WordPress 2.9.2, and BuddyPress 1.2.3, my site’s at http://teach-me-internet-marketing.com

When I try to browse any of the “My Account” links, for example,

http://teach-me-internet-marketing.com/members/Haroun%20Kola/profile/edit/

To edit my profile, the site simple reverts back to the home page, ie. http://teach-me-internet-marketing.com

Any ideas on what I’ve done wrong?

Thanks

Haroun

Put the following in your child theme’s functions.php file or in your main wp-config.php file:

define( 'BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE', true );

Spaces (and some other characters) aren’t allowed in usernames by default.

Don’t use spaces? Make a ticket on the trac about this problem.

I don’t have spaces in my username, but my public name does have a space in it. Does the system use my username or display name to create links?

Thanks for your help!

If I remember correctly %20 is a spacebar, so that would mean you did use a spacebar.

It uses the username to make the profile URL.

Yes Xevo, %20 is a spacebar, but I assure you I don’t have a space in my username, buddypress is pulling my display name in the url and not my username. Any idea why?

Follow what jivany wrote.

Try the snippet in wp-config.php above the following line:

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
