Sorry – just to clarify, I was getting the Zend_Session_Exception error as first flagged by @gregfielding

I was also getting this error message. I had Twitconnect installed in my plugins. I tried deactivating Twitconnect and hey presto! Buddystream works fine. Either I’m lucky or there was a conflict there. Hope this helps!

I think @pcwriter‘s code is the way to go – it’s just a question of putting it in the right files according to what you want to block. EG I wanted to block access to member profiles if user is not logged in, but I wanted them to see all the rest of the content on my site. So I copied the following files to my child theme:

members – single – home.php
members – single – member-header.php

Then in home.php I added the “is user logged in” check as shown highlighted here: http://pastebin.com/EyhRuwCq

This stopped the main profile content from appearing if the user is not logged in. You could stop there, but I wanted to remove extra data from the profile header and leave a message to the un-logged in user. So in header-message.php I added the log-in check as highlighted here: http://pastebin.com/mpxbkcCe

This cuts out all content in the header apart from the gravatar, the member name and a polite message. You can see it here: http://www.thebookboard.com/members/bookboard/

I’m not a coder, so I make no guarantees that this will work in all circumstances, but it works for me. Hope it helps others

I’d really like to see an answer to this too. I’m trying to put togther a site where updates coule be quite long (reviews etc) and it would be great to just show the first 100 words or so then have a read more link.

Any thoughts out there?
