BuddyPress.org

Hi,

I worked on a staging site I’ve now published live and it is not behaving the same as on staging. When logged in as a member, some of the BuddyPress (through BuddyBoss) pages return a 404:
– cover photo
– profile photo
– privacy settings

Also another odd one is the connection requests don’t display live when they did in staging – I am not sure that’s linked and the more urgent issue is those pages returning a 404.

Troubleshooting questions:

When I switch to plain permalinks the pages work but for the rest of the site it must be postname. When using post name these pages don’t work. I can’t find a way to make them work.

1. Which version of WordPress are you running? – latest 5.5.1

2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install? – directory

3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? – n/a

4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version? – not recently / this did not cause the issue, but I updated from the pas latest version

5. Was WordPress functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting. – yes, the rest of the site works no issue

6. Which version of BP are you running? – latest, BuddyBoss 1.5.2

7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? n/a

14. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files. https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress – no errors found, only 404 for those pages

15. Which company provides your hosting? – Ionos

Thank you
