Only works if the form page is at root level

Hello adventureridingnz,

Thanks for your report. I reproduced this issue on my test site and I’ll debug it these days or this weekend.

I’ll keep you informed!

Hi adventureridingnz,

I think the problem is not related to BP Profile Search.

Can you confirm that if you create a subpage of your members directory, it does not display and is redirected to your home page?

You are correct, any page at that level does it. Any ideas why?

This is an issue between BuddyPress and BP Classic, see this ticket I submitted:

Thank you for your investigation.

You’re welcome! You can follow the ticket linked above to stay updated.

Hi adventureridingnz,

If you wish to test the patch, I suggest you start from the original BuddyPress file class-bp-component.php, then edit the file and locate line 1121:

public function add_rewrite_rules( $rewrite_rules = array() ) {

Now insert, immediately after that line, the following lines:

    if ( 'rewrites' !== bp_core_get_query_parser() ) {
            return;
    }
 	

Save the file, and please let me know if the change works for you!

Thank you! that worked great.

You are welcome! Of course you should apply the change again if you update BuddyPress to a new version.

Update: The problem has been fixed in BuddyPress 14, so it’s no longer necessary to apply the suggested patch.
