@oneill1234-

You have a subdirectory install of WordPress. So, the RewriteBase / directive in the .htaccess file needs to point to that directory. Change this:

RewriteBase /

to this:

RewriteBase /community

@Tyler Regas-

Haha! No problem.

Privacy, permissions, authorization, ACL (access control list), and even security could all be used to describe this topic. So, I understand.

Suffice it to say, this issue is being worked on, it will just be a little while longer.

@idotter-

Working is progressing--albeit slowly.

I do realize that many people are waiting for my marvelous elixir of data obscurity. I am working on it but I have projects with higher priority. I probably only get to spend a day or so each week working on it--much of that time late at night when I\'m prone to [...]

I\'ve been poking around for some time and I\'m a little surprised that not one person has been confused by the complete lack of security in BuddyPress.

You need to poke around a little more. ;)

@Erich73-

Haha! I appreciate the thought. I\'m sure Automattic is able to afford to buy many things! I have no issue with Automattic. I do not expect them to pay me.

My code, like any other GPLed theme or plugin is freely available for all to use. So, if Automattic wants to merge my code into BP [...]

@idotter-

Eventually my plugin will encompass group and blog privacy as well.

@paulhastings0-

The graph represents about $125 of funding--which is close to my original goal! ;)

That post was for two reasons: an experiment to see if raising development funds was even feasible; an awareness campaign to get people talking and thinking about plugin developers and the [...]

Burt Adsit, a past forum moderator and talented developer, created a plugin that did exactly what you are suggesting. It is woefully out of date. I believe it only works with BP V 1.0. But, some other talented developer could possibly use Burt\'s code, adapting it to the current version of BP.

SInce this forum is meant to discuss possible enhancements for future BuddyPress versions in 2010, the idea of forking the project is beyond scope. You of course are free to continue discussing this topic but it might be better to start a new thread in the Miscellaneous Forums.

Whereas your assertion that:

So, +1. Or, maybe +2 since @nexia has already indicated his support!

As Open Source projects, anyone is free to fork any of the WordPress family of products as long as they adhere to the GPL licensing. In fact, WordPress itself started as a fork of another blogging platform.

However, Automattic will not fork its own products. With Andy as the only full-time Automattic employee working on [...]

Well, crap!

I thought I might be able to fade away in my cave, living a private life. But I can see that some of you actually want privacy features in BuddyPress. I guess I will have to get to work.

So, if I vote a -7 will that cancel everyone\'s votes out?

No worries! You\'ve been very clear about your good intentions!

I just wanted to make sure that you realized a freemium approach can allow you to have one version of your plugin hosted on the WP plugin repo and another version hosted somewhere else. If both versions offer real value and are GPLed, there should not [...]
