I think Buddypress 404 behavior needs a little attention. Here is a sampling of what is returned with various bad addresses on my Buddypress site.

http://mywebsite.com/groups-directory/nonexistentgroup

Redirects to http://mywebsite.com/groups-directory/

http://mywebsite.com/members-directory/nonexistentmember

Returns: Fatal error: Call to a member function set_404() on a non-object in /home/myusername/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php on line 1459

And finally http://mywebsite.com/nonexistentpage and http://mywebsite.com/members-directory/admin/nonexistentpage return 404 pages that are materially different, even though they run through the same 404 template (I’ve confirmed it’s running through the same 404.php file and even removed all three “do_actions” in the 404.php file with no effect).

The first address above returns a 404 page with the following code:

div id=”bp-before-container” class=”fullwidth”
div id=”container”
div id=”content”
div class=”padder one-column”
div id=”post-0″ class=”post page-404 error404 not-found” role=”main”

And the second address above returns a 404 page with the following code:

div id=”bp-before-container” class=”fullwidth”
div id=”container”
div id=”container”
div id=”content”
div class=”padder one-column”
div class=”post page-404 error404 not-found” role=”main”

I’m not insane. What in the world is going on here? How about a little consistency in both 404 behavior and output? Any input is appreciated… and why do backticks cause code to disappear rather than be displayed on this forum?
