I’m new to WP and BP and am finding my way around slowly. I have successfully implemented WP3.0 with Thematic and have been able to set up a child theme and make a few modifications.

My problems start when I introduce BPand Buddymatic into the mix…

I’m starting with a clean WP3.0 installation, installing BP, changing the permalinks, and then installing the default BP theme. Everything works. Then I install and activate Buddymatic and I find that several of the pages that worked under the default theme simply don’t work in Buddymatic.

For example, when I select members under the default theme the url is http://mydomain.com/members and this works. If I activate Buddymatic it trys to find http://mydomain.com/members but then simply redirects to the home page – http://mydomain.com/

This happens to every page I try to select except those I’ve created myself in the dashboard. I’m sure this must be a simple setting I’m missing somewhere, but after searching for hours I’m still stuck.

I set up a local development environment to see if I could get things working there but I have exacly the same issue.

This is a real disappointment for me. It really looks like Buddymatic would provide the ideal starting point for me to learn more. I can’t believe that it doesn’t work out of the box, so I assume I’m missing a really simple but vital step.

The other thing I have found is that the redirection to the home page only happens in Firefox – I noticed that in IE I get 404 not found instead.

I’ve tried asking in some of the other forums but have had no help yet. I’d really appreciate any help you could give me.

Please help ASAP. Thanks!

However, if I were going to try to find the problem I’d look for plugins or customizations in the child theme. ~500 people have downloaded the theme. You are the first person to report that problem, so it’s highly unlikely that it’s Buddymatic.

The link for the current version is in the post you are leaving a comment on. PLEASE read the post.

I am using Buddymatic 1.2.0.2 with Buddypress 1.2.3 and WordPress 3.0.beta1. I am developing a custom child theme for a client. I am experiencing an issue with Buddypress AJAX requests such as updating my status or replying to items in the action stream. The request are generated with no problem, however, there is no response from the server. When I switch to the default Buddypress theme, the AJAX functions work fine. There are no errors being logged, and Buddymatic appears to register the AJAX functional hooks in the same way as the Buddypress default theme. Any advice on how to go about debugging this? Is it possible that the bp_dtheme_post_update() function is not being registered correctly?

Thanks in advance for any insight you may have.
