Description

If you set define('BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'messages'); in your wp-config.php, then try to visit another member's profile page when you are logged in (*not* your own), the page doesn't load; looks like a redirect loop.

Confirmed on 1.5.1 + trunk.

I'm guessing this is an issue with the messages component in particular (since one can't access others' message screens) rather than with BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT in general. Probably we shouldn't allow a private component like messages to be the default, or at least we should provide a fallback.

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

(In [5385]) Provides a valid fallback redirect for situations where the default component is set to something that is unavailable for the logged-in user (such as messages, when viewing someone else's profile). Fixes #3707
