[Resolved] Profile pages / setting pages 404

    Hello. I understand this is a prevalent topic but so far I have tried everything to no avail.

    I’m trying to install buddypress and BBpress into a subdirectory of my website http://www.example.com/community. I installed buddypress first and tried to simple configure through the settings->pages, so that the activity streams would go to the /community page, and then everything else would live under that folder. I was able to install BBpress as well and got a few pages to work. However, my concern is that I somehow jerry-rigged this setup and now certain pages don’t show up. Profile, friends, notifications, messages and settings all 404, while the rest seem to work. I am not sure if this is a deeper issue that will require me to input something into the htaccess file, if these pages are simply identified under another URL structure or if I just need to create these pages and let them auto populate.

    I have tried to deactivate plugins to discover if one of them is causing the issue, nothing.
    I have tried to set up a multisite and bypass this entirely, nothing.
    I have tried to re-save permalinks into a new structure, nothing.
    I am using a designated buddypress theme.

    Thanks.

    @swoopswoop     To clarify, do you mean a physical subdirectory, i.e., you created a subdirectory folder, or do you mean a secondary site of a WP multisite installation with subdirectory structure?

    @mercime I’m trying to keep it within the same theme of the rest of the website, so I just want it to be in a subdirectory folder. I initially thought the problem was I needed a multisite, but then I would need to install a new theme and have new settings right?

    For my subdirectory I created the /community page and I just wanted the buddypress and bbpress plugin to consider this the home page. Then everything else would be created underneath it, like /community/members, /community/forums/forum etc. It’s a business website so I need product pages off the root, keeping the forum contained to one portion of the site.

    @swoopswoop     Just to clarify, creating a new page titled “Community” and adding the BP component links under that does not a subdirectory make šŸ™‚ i.e., if you did not create a multisite installation nor create a physical subdirectory, then BuddyPress is installed at the root of your WP installation. By the same token, bbPress is also installed in the same way.

    Re-run permalinks settings again via admin menu Settings > Permalinks choosing option other than default to remove 404.
