Installed Buddypress but several things won’t work.

    Hi there,

    I’m creating a small community site, I have setup wordpress and buddypress successfully, however I haven’t managed to get things such as creation of new groups and registrations working, I also can’t figure out how to display things such as activity & members on the pages which have been automatically created by buddy press, the other automatically created pages such as Register, Activate and Groups also do not show any information, if I try to create a new group or register as a regular member of the site it won’t let me and only shows a “page cannot be found” message.

    Also things such as the Member’s Profile page and the “Edit Profile” feature cannot be accessed from the main page, they also display the “Page cannot be found” error, these two features seem to be available from inside the wordpress dashboard though, but the public member’s profile page cannot be accessed from anywhere.

    I would really appreciate it if anyone could give me a hand, I’m willing to give access to the backend to anyone who wishes to help, I’m a lost newbie, please help! 🙂

    if you have registration turned off in WordPress settings you will have registration troubles. When you got to settings > BuddyPress and on the pages tab do you have the pages assigned to components?

    Hello @modemlooper

    Yes, Registration is turn on in WordPress, and pages are assigned to the default ones that were created when BudyPress was installed, I have no idea if I have to change that or where to.

    I would greately appreciate it if you could take a look please

    witnessescity.com/registration/ = 404 error
    means that you have no page called registration.
    When activation and registration pages are not automatically created, you should do this manually

    See on BP settings Page tab. Check also the other components pages.

    Have you set up pretty permalinks ?

    Please read the doc

    @danbp thanks! but the pages are created! I went to WordPress and set them up, I did however had an error I did while trying to figure things out with the registration page pointing to the wrong url, I have fixed that since you told me, also on the BudyPress settings I have assigned them to the different components, still the pages are just blank.

    Also I’m not sure what the pretty permlinks is? is this changing the Permlinks settings in wordpress to something like “Post Name” ? I’m going to read configure-components page again top to bottom, again thanks so much for your help!

    PS: I changed the permlinks in wordpress to “Post Name” and now all component pages are not just blank but they cannot be found. ahhhhh I’m sooooooo confused! lol

    The registration page for instance has been created and can be reached at:

    http://www.witnessescity.com/index.php/register-4/

    You can reach it from my navigation menu, but the BuddyPress widget for some reason sets it to http://www.witnessescity.com/register-4/

    How do I correct that? also I no clue why the page is blank, am I supposed to input code of some sort in the page after it has been created?

    never use “register” as url for sign up page. Spammers look for this. Go into permalink settings and change to something else sand save. URL redirects not right

    @modemlooper thanks for the suggestion, I will change that from “register” to something else 🙂 I have tried changing the url on permlinks to a handful or different possibilities and still I get the 404 page, I have also tried all suggestions at: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/the-requested-url-register-was-not-found-on-this-server/ including adding a .htaccess file which was not in my WordPress root directory for some reason, I have also tried enabling mod_rewrite in Apache to no avail, I’m stocked 🙁
