BuddyPress.org

I’m trying to make a BuddyPress plugin using these guidelines

http://codex.buddypress.org/theme-compatibility/how-to-enjoy-bp-theme-compat-in-plugins/

however, if I try to add a class that extends BP_Component WordPress will crash and return the error.

I tried to load my plugin after BuddyPress using the following code:

function bp_pop_load() {

    require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/bp_pop.php' );
}
add_action( 'bp_include', 'bp_pop_load' );

but it doesn’t work

if I wrap my whole plugin with a class_exists( ‘BP_Component’ ) conditional, nothing will happen (condition is false)

How can I fix this?

fiy, I’m just calling BP_Component like this:

class BP_PostsOnProfile extends BP_Component {
  // my stuff... but error is thrown at the line above
}
