BuddyPress

Hi, I install the latest version of BP with WP 3.0. multiuser, network enabled. It’s on w2k8 and IIS7.5. However, when I click on any of the BP link (like creating group, edit profile, changer avatar..etc) I am getting 404 error for a few sec and then the coorect page comes up with no issue. I need to get rid of the 404 error. What i need to do..? Please help..I am loosing sleep trying to figure this out..Thanks

Just checked your site.

Looks like you resolved your problem as member profile links work for me.

If you use the username: buddytester
password:buddyt3st3r

Click on Group, create grup, you will see the 404 error I am mentioning. This also happens when you click on profile/edit profile. Please help…Thanks!

I re-read your post. There have been noted problems with IIS and BuddyPress.

Here are some solutions you can try:

Ray, thanks a million, I email matthew from the link http://www.matthewcasey.co.uk/2010/04/01/setting-up-wordpress-mu-on-iis/ you send me and his suggestion was to do the following:

To fix:

open YOURSITE > wp-includes > pluggable.php and search for the line:

header(“Refresh: 0;url=$location”);

This will be inside a function called wp_redirect.

Change this to:
header(“Location: $location”, true, $status);

Thant works like a charm. Perfect. Thanks again to you and Matthew,..

Great! Glad it works!

FYI, since wp_redirect() is a pluggable function, you could probably just recreate the function with your mod and create a small plugin for it! That way you won’t have to hack the WP core.

*Edit – Here’s the fix bundled into a quick plugin:
http://buddypress.pastebin.com/download.php?i=S8e3t2Se (updated July 24th, forgot to wrap a !function_exists call around the function)

Save as a PHP file and add it to /wp-content/mu-plugins/ or add it to the regular plugins directory and activate network-wide.

True, but I will not touch for now!…:) Lost so much sleep trying to fix this one, so I may be a bit hesitant. Again thanks for the help!..much appreciated…

Now, I am off to dig into the potientials of WP 3.0 MU with BP now that both are functioning properly…:)

Thanks!
