    In short, I can no longer get into the adminsitration of my site using /wp-admin. It gives me login screen, I login, and it goes back to the main page of my site as if I never logged in. Ruh Roh..

    1. Which version of WordPress are you running? >> 3.3
    2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install? >> directory
    3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? >> root
    4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version? >> I’ve had several WP versions, starting 3.0 I think, 3.1, then 3.3
    5. Was WordPress functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting. >> yes
    6. Which version of BP are you running? >> Most recent I’m sure just downloaded 4 days ago. I’d get version but…. see title of
    7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?>> no
    8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones? >> JetPack
    9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? >> It’s overlaid onto of Adventure something?
    10. Have you modified the core files in any way? >> nope
    11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php? >> not that I know of. nothing I have done
    12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in? >> i do not know what this is so… cant answer
    13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files. >> cannot get there, see subject :)
    14. Which company provides your hosting? >> GoDaddy
    15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else? >> Linux

    Any advice appreciated. Godaddy wont touch it. I have some major updates I was hoping to post this weekend before i screwed things up :)

    thanks!!

    Not clear whether you couldn’t access wp-admin right after you installed BuddyPress or not. If so, if you can’t access wp-admin, deactivate BuddyPress via FTP/cpanel/etc. and rename the buddypress folder in wp-content/plugins/ to something like buddypress-xx

    As for GoDaddy hosting, I have read many heartaches of people trying to install BuddyPress and/or go Multisite there with shared hosting or better.

    Ok, got in via FTP. Renamed. Now the BP stuff doesn’t show – cool.

    However, when I go to the wp-admin screen and log in succesfully, what happens is the page just refreshes. It’s interesting too because there is then a weird little box thing between the WordPress logo and the word username.

    If I put in bad credentials, it just does the normal login error stuff.

    I got in through a backdoor I guess. I used FTP to search the folders. I then went to wp-adminnetwork and then logged in, was able to remove buddypress. Was version 1.5.

    Is there a way I can confirm compatibility of Buddypress with my theme before I re-attempt this? I’m not married to the theme, but i do need to find something better before I switch.
