Member name links don’t link to member profile pages – 404 errors instead

    Hello!

    I’m having trouble where the usernames displayed as links in BuddyPress forums, widgets (ex, Recent Forum Replies, Recently Active Users) don’t link properly. Rather than linking to ‘http://site.com/members/username/’ the way they should, they instead link to ‘http://site.com/username/’. I can’t track down the settings in any part of the dashboard or BuddyPress settings, and the templating for this is tricky – is it the BP_MEMBERS_SLUG function that controls this?

    If anyone can let me know what I’m missing or offer advice for diagnosing the issue, I’d really appreciate it.

    @fixanddestroy that happens when you or someone else added
    `define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES’, true );`
    in your bp-custom.php

    @mercime : Thanks for replying! Unfortunately, `define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES’, true );` is not in bp-custom.php, or anywhere else that I can find, so that isn’t the solution. The only functions in there at the moment are custom avatar dimensions for full size and thumbnail avatars. I tried adding `define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES’, false );` in case I could explicitly turn that function off, but that didn’t work either.

    Is there anywhere else that root profiles are possibly enabled? Any other ideas?

    Check if someone placed the code I posted above in your wp-config.php file instead of the bp-custom.php file
