Conflicts with BuddyPress and Pemanent Links

    In my WordPress Dashboard, I get a message that says:

    BuddyPress is almost ready. You must update your permalink structure to something other than the default for it to work.

    But if I change the permalink structure to something other than the default, when I visit the pages that I have, I get a 404 not found error. How can I fix this problem?. I am running WordPress in my own server.

    I also uploaded an image of my root directory

    If you set permalinks to something not-default, and then visit a wordpress blog post on your site, does it work?

    No, it doesn’t

    I don’t believe this is a BuddyPress issue. When you change your permalinks, are you able to visit a regular WP post permalink? If not, it’s a WordPress issue.

    I would say make sure your server is able to write to the .htaccess file.

    Also, you might have to alter your .htaccess file to add the following to the top of the file:

    Options +FollowSymlinks

    How do I know if my server is able to write to the .htaccess file? The content of the file is:

    Options +FollowSymlinks
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Still I have the same error. I think you are right, it’s a WordPress issue

    Your htaccess file should be set to 644: https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions

    As you have established that this is a WordPress issue, and not a BuddyPress one, you might be better to create a ticket over on wordpress.org, where there are more eyes looking at your ticket.
