Is anyone going to chime in here with any possible solution, help would be greatly appreciated at this point!
We do not have sufficient information to provide any assistance. Please provide the following:
- Which version of WPMU are you running?
- Did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU, and if so, from which version and how?
- Did you have WPMU functioning properly before installing and upgrading BuddyPress?
- Which version of BuddyPress are you running?
- Did you log in as site admin in WPMU’s backend and activate BuddyPress?
- Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated?
- Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or custom themes?
- Are there are errors in your server’s log files, and if so, what are they?
Jeff can i just give you admin rights with username and password so you can look at what i mean?
Sorry Seahawknationblog, as easy as that may sound, it isn’t how it works.
I hate to speak on anyone’s behalf, but I think there’s too many possibilities and liabilities to have a stranger poking around your install and files and data.
The goal here with our support is to do our best to help you help yourself out of your situation.
My suggestion, since it sounds like your AJAX request is failing, is to install Firebug in your Firefox browser, and see if there are any JavaScript errors on the page(s) in question. If so, track them down and repair them. If you need more help after that, chime back in and we’ll keep trying to help out in whatever way we can.
I am currently having this same issue. When doing a search within the Members, Groups, etc areas, as well as when I try to request/cancel friendship, etc. It just keeps showing the animations for those actions once I try to do anything with those. HOWEVER, if I refresh the page when it does that, then it will pass it on through and show the result of my action.
I’m using the latest BP and MU install, which I downloaded and install from here just about 1.5 weeks ago.
Any ideas?
ok, seems like i have it fixed now. i just set the permalinks to “default” (mine were set to “custom” – although thats what was part of the install). hopefully that does it for you too. i dont know if this is explained elsewhere better on here.
has anyone been able to resolve this?
i actually have not been able to myself.
I am having a similar problem:
Request Friend
/members/username/
Ajax keeps spinning. Firebug is saying 404 was returned but returning the following response:
Friendship Requested0
Members Home Widget
Newest | Active | Popular
Ajax keeps spinning. Firebug is saying 404, but also returning results which is quite odd.
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-ajax-handler.php
Versions:
MU 2.7.1
BuddyPress
FF 3.0.10
OSX Leopard 10.5.7
It’s quite easy to see with firebug on the homepage:

Odd thought I have just had – have you installed Buddypress, or its themes, using symlinks? If you have, copy the directories/files and don’t use a symlink path.
If you don’t know what a symlink is, then disregard 
It is definitely not a symlink. That server is a godaddy server and weird thing is on my laptop here it works fine. My assumption was that it might be a crappy upload on filezilla’s part but I reuploaded and it does return results and 404 through firezilla. I will check what is up. Any other suggestions would be helpful.
I tried a fresh install, worked through a few permission settings (755 wp-content/ recursively from FTP and again from SSH) that some related forum topics suggested and still no luck.
bp-core-ajax-handler.php Seems to be returning 404 also for messages AJAX call and the letters on the groups page.

Does anybody see the same issue in firebug, maybe I am going nutty.
I see the response in firebug, and the 404 too, and the ajax loader keeps spinning.
I’m not getting the error with my firebug looking at that page but the ajax is just spinning for me, too.
(I’m having a similar problem — different error and ajax doesn’t even spin.)
It sounds like you’re having an issue that other people have had. Does any of this look like it might relate to what’s going on for you?

A guy from Stackoverflow had the solution
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/948116/ajax-404-with-results-using-buddypress/957561#957561
Try adding this line of code to /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-ajax-handler.php before do_action()
status_header( 200 );
I do see the same issue at http://www.testbp.org when I do click on the alphabetic member-bar.
Clicking on any of the letters (A, B, C,……) , the site keeps loading forever…..
The 1.0.1 also fixes this issue
@ joelpittet-
Great! Thanks for sharing this information.
For everyone else having this issue, please upgrade to BP1.0.1.
Since the OP started this thread a month ago and has not be actively participating in this thread for almost that long, I’m going to set this to resolved. He can always change it back to unresolved if necessary.
If you are a member who still has this or a similar problem AFTER upgrading to BP1.0.1, then please start a new thread.
Watch out for the new Welcome Widget HTML entity encoding, it got me and I had to turn it off because I had HTML in my Welcome widget.
See the release notes or forum comments for where to take it out from Andy
