@toggerybob
change your permalinks to pretty permalinks in the wordpress settings,
then activate bp.. then go run through the config / page associations (https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/ )
should be good to go at that point.. you may need to create a few blank “pages” like activate and register – or they may populate…
Not sure why my reply is not posting
Only permalink options I’ve got are:
Default
Day and name
Month and name
Numeric
Post name
Custom Structure
@toggerybob select any of the permalink option EXCEPT default
Yeah, I have always used Post name. Can’t seem to figure out what else is going wrong.
@toggerybob – if you did all that and nothing is working – I would delete everything and do a fresh install of wordpress first. Then Bp..
you could backup your stuff you got now – zip files and such… but your site is basically blank right now – so a fresh install, deleting all your old wordpress files and connecting to a new blank database may be the easiest way to hash this out.
Check also that your site has the minimum requirements for WP and BP.
PHP version 5.2.4 or greater
MySQL version 5.0.15 or greater
php_memory_limit 32 mo / 64 recommended if BP and some other plugins
htaccess must contain RewriteEngine On
