just to add, I tried reinstalling, that did not work.
and I tried widgets, same issue with the linking.
last add: the site is http://www.thesocialeconomy.nl (not .com).
Hi @simonvrolijk
Do you have the BP pages created under Admin > Pages?
Hi @henriwright
unsure what you mean by that, but I believe the answer is yes. While installing the BP plugin I was logged on as admin. Did not do anything else then installing and activating. The BP pages where created by BP.
Do I need to change that? And if yes, where?
@simonvrolijk BP requires “pretty permalinks” to work, not “almost pretty permalinks” via appending index.php for Windows servers as I checked your Members Directory page at http://thesocialeconomy.nl/index.php/members/
Possible Solutions:
– https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Permalinks_without_mod_rewrite
– https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/iis7-web-config/
– or contact webhost
@mercime thanks, I contacted hosting provider. They changed
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/.*$ /index.php [L,QSA]
At permalinks I changed to custom and added: /%postname%/.
That solved most of the issue, so thanks!
Though when adding a group, I still get a page not found, when confirming registration a new user still gets a page not found.
I see it links to: http://thesocialeconomy.nl/members/groups/create/
When clicking register page, you get page not found. Log in, and then clicking register does register though!
any thoughts?
@mercime @henriwright you have any suggestions for the last issue? I would be really thankful if you did!
@simonvrolijk When I hover over the Member link in your main menu, I still see the link to members page as http://thesocialeconomy.nl/index.php/members/
Go to Settings > Permalinks and rerun permalinks again by clicking on the Save button. If that doesn’t work in removing that index.php from your link, go to Appearance > Menu and remove the BuddyPress links then click on Save. After that, add back the BuddyPress links
Tried both, but same issue with the Member page (which I created myself btw as I needed a page to ‘put’ the buddy pages under in the menu).
Register page still not working.
Solved it differently. Login page renamed to Log in or register. The login page has a register link on it.
The confirmation page does work now, so, although a work around, problem solved.
thanks a million!
Cool. Marking this as resolved 🙂
