Navigate to your BuddyPress profile, click on messages, there you will see an additional link for “Mass Messaging.”
The problem is that clicking on it produces:
“404 Error!
The page You requested was not found. Perhaps searching can help. “
The cPanel Error Log does not show anything. I’m on a shared account so I can’t see the full apache log.
WordPress 3.8.1
BuddyPress 1.9.2
I have discovered that you can get past the 404 page if you use the WP back-end Toolbar instead of your BuddyPress profile: On the toolbar, My Account > Messages > Mass Messaging
Comparing the URL from there to the URL from the BuddyPress Profile (Profile > Messages > Mass Messaging) you can see there is a change in the URL. In my case it goes “through” another page on my site:
From WP Backend:
http://<mydomain.com>/about-us/members/<myusername>/messages/mass-messaging/
From BuddyPress Profile
http://<mydomain.com>/members/<myusername>/messages/mass-messaging/
I hope this helps until the developer can address this problem in a new release.
The problem I had was caused by my Members page having the “About-Us” page as its parent. When I moved the page to the top level (no parent) I stopped getting a 404, even from the BuddyPress profile.
I believe this qualifies as a bug (with a workaround). I will report this finding to the author via the comments section on his website (he says that’s the fastest way to get support)
Does the latest update fix this?
