BuddyPress.org

Ok… here are a couple of things to check with regard to the plugin functioning properly:

1. Are you using the latest version of WordPress?

2. Are you using the latest version of BuddyPress?

3. Are you using PHP 5?

4. Do you have JSON installed?

5. Do you have CURL installed?

6. Have you correctly entered the API Keys for Twitter and Facebook?
If you have, you should easily be able to post to Twitter and Facebook.

7. If you can post to Twitter and Facebook, but items are not being imported, it’s possible your cron job is not being triggered. If you can output to Twitter and Facebook your API is setup correctly.

8. If you have a private site, you will have to find a way through your redirect “firewall” to allow the cron job to be triggered. Do NOT USE background importing, if you have a “private” site… use the cron job and make sure the path to the “?buddystreamcron=run” is an exception in your URL allowed list somewhere.

9. THE APIs have to be entered BEFORE you will see some of the options appear for Twitter and for Facebook on User’s Side (even if you have “turned on” the Social Network).

10. Twitter has been having issues for months… if Twitter is not working properly for you and was at some point… check http://status.twitter.com and see if Twitter has turned something off temporarily….

11. Remember if you have enabled “good filters” or “bad filters” you HAVE to make sure that you follow your own rules… don’t enable any filters until you know you can import and export successfully…

12. If you have enabled a limit updates/per user function… you just may have exceeded the limit while you were testing… don’t limit anything until you are sure that it works…

13. Testing this (ANY) plugin rule of thumb… before you report anything make sure you have met the minimum plugin requirements… if you experience difficulties… it may very likely be because you have a conflicting PLUGIN or THEME… try the plugin without any PLUGINS enabled except BuddyPress and Buddy Stream (Clear all caches before you test again). try the PLUGIN in the BuddyPress Default THEME… then if it works, try to determine what plugin/theme is causing the issue and report back… if it doesn’t work write as much detail as possible (including information from your error_logs) and INCLUDE what VERSIONS of BuddPress, WordPress, PHP, etc. you are using to help us with the detail….

Ok… that’s it for now! I hope you are all having a great experience with BuddyStream!

@ligar would you mind trying that in different browswers? Also, do you experience the same posting/redirect issue when ONLY BuddyPress AND BuddyStream are enabled?

@antorsa The Global list is in the admin of each Social Network under “filters”

It is possible that PHP 5.2 or better will have to be used with this plugin because of the Zend framework, but I am not completely sure of this and will let Peter speak to this. If you have the ability to easily upgrade to PHP 5.3+ and are experiencing issues with the plugin, you may want to try that.
