? BP 1.2.4 you need to install 1.2.5.2

If you have really installed 1.2.4 try upgrading it to 1.2.5 and see if that makes a difference and report back.

Yes, I run into this problem too. I used the plugin to make my theme compatible with bp. and step 1 was succeeded, files were moved. Then I could go to step three. There it tells me to check links under “my account”. nothing works.

People The community , must as a whole, stop this practice of hijacking threads we now have three questions running in the same thread this practice isn’t tolerated on most tech forumsd due to the confusion that thread dissolves into.

The first thing all three of you must check is that your permalinks are working correctly and that the server can write to the .htaccess file

yes, this seems to work Thorsten. I’ll search with you for how to adjust that links under “myaccount”and “notifications”

@hnla both checked. work.

Ok Guys! I found the solution for IIS Server! There is a problem with the ‘mod_rewrite’ function, it does not work. Here is the solution and I tried it and it works. Please take a look at http://www.kylecaulfield.com/permalink-for-wordpress-iis-6-mod_rewrite-fixed-free

The result of my new Buddpress can be viewed here http://www.unitedcasting.de/

Sorry for the try above, but it’s no really good solution, so I switched into the original theme file of Buddypress theme.

Many hours today for this result and nobody knewed that. Maybe a problem of Windows worker like me

@christinarule : unfortunately, I don’t know how to set your links to include index.php, but confused why you would want that? Without the index.php will give you better search engine performance, as well as being more human readable

Well the only reason I was setting my permalinks to /index.php/%category%/%postname%/ was because if I didnt ( if i would just set them to /%category%/%postname%/) then my whole site would break… I couldnt click on any other page with out getting a “not found” error.

Even when I set my perma linking to /%category%/%postname%/ my buddy press still goes to a “not found page”

Am I missing something??

I thought maybe updated my wordpress would do the trick so thats what I did last night… and still nothing… in fact now im just left with an even MORE broken site. I guess some of my plug ins arent working correctly with wordpress latest version.

Thanks in advance

@christinarule – if you post your .htaccess and wp-config.php files (use pastebin.com). It might help pinpoint the problem.

also just realized i didnt use paste bin correctly… Im sorry!

@christinarule –

other than the check for mod_rewrite.c, you have the same .htaccess that I have in a default install, with permalinks set to /%category%/%postname%/ (http://playground.21inspired.com is a simple default install).

My .htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

Unfortunately, this is beyond my area of expertise. Hopefully, someone else can help you get rid of index.php in your urls, and get the blog & BuddyPress urls resolved correctly.

Other quick thoughts: is your .htaccess in your site’s root directory? Do you have other .htaccess files in the subdirectories? Does your server support mod_rewrite?

Anyone able to help?
