Disable all WP and BP plugins except BuddyPress, change theme to bp default theme. Then check login by users. If users can log in, activate plugins one by one and activate custom theme and check which is the culprit.
BP Gallery plugin (paid) allows uploading media – images, audio, and/or video – in Activity Stream by individual user in addition to regular uploading in album section of BP site.
can’t understand why he won’t let anyone see the code unless it never existed. He has held up the development of a working privacy component for over a year now.
@joshua_d Move on. No use griping over what was. Look forward to what can be done.
I’m closing this topic as picking on individuals is not acceptable on this site.
I would also suggest oEmbed (for buddypress), or maybe Buddypress Links, which offers similar possibilities.
Sorry, but Is there any other forum/mailing-list/group/discussion-board where I can get help regarding this issue?
More info needed, like WP/BP versions? Have you deactivated all plugins (which includes all BP and WP plugins, MU plugins and bp-custom.php) except BuddyPress and change theme to bp-default, cleared cache and checked if cropping works?
Didn’t work, my bp files didn’t have `
`. I’m using the askit theme from elegant themes, so I’m going to see if anyone over at that forum has been able to get buddypress to work.

why don’t I see forums after all is installed…I see groups but no forums
@modemlooper it looks that way, just a pity as Jeff says he has put in over a years work & has tested on current versions of BP.
It looked like an extremely promising plugin, can’t understand why he won’t let anyone see the code unless it never existed.
He has held up the development of a working privacy component for over a year now.
I would forget bp-privacy and move on. There is this plugin as a start. Not sure if it works looks abandoned.

question to @boonebgorges @DJPaul & @apeatling, do you think this plugins code will ever be released or incorporated into core?
If not, are there any any other privacy options being worked on?
@satomom – No membership software. Just some basic PayPal subscription buttons and theme/function customizations based on whether a user is logged in or not. This method requires more oversight and maintenance (ex. if someone cancels their subscription), but it keeps everything simple for upgrades.

thanks a million – fixed in 2 mins flat 
So mod_rewrite wasn’t loaded then? I hope I helped in asking for confirmation that it was or wasn’t it helps to check what phpinfo reports.
I would change that Debian distro for redhat centos or fedora they have much nicer default configs all geared up for getting of to a fairly quick start as a web server.
If you use a non BuddyPress theme then you need to do a little more work search for BuddyPress template pack plugin. Install and follow directions. This will move some extra theme files into your WordPress theme and include the necessary functions and JavaScript to run BuddyPress
Here is my .htaccess file in case yours is blank like mine was.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-aA-Z-]+/)?(.*.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
It’s working! ok here is what you do if anyone else needs help. Follow the instructions here
http://www.lavluda.com/2007/07/15/how-to-enable-mod_rewrite-in-apache22-debian/
make sure to edit the default in the /etc/apache2/default (I think I did default-ssl also) the instructions are wrong and point to /000-default
restart apache2 using “sudo service apache2 restart” not the outdated one in the instructions
Run phpinfo() what modules does it list under ‘loaded modules’ your looking for mod_rewrite to be in the list.
After that checks out you want to check your chown settings for directories, it tends not to matter what file permissions you set if the group and owner of the file and directory is wrong. Those file permissions simply set a series of permissions for Group, Owner, and Other but doesn’t set which group / owner.
I have found many different pages on setting up the .htaccess and mod_rewrite.so, however none of them seemed to work. As far as the perms go I gave everything 777 in the blog directory to eliminate the ftp as the source of the problem. It still hasn’t worked.
Here is what I have been doing. 1) follow instructions to setup .htaccess and mod_rewrite. 2) setup perms 3) if still not working give 777 to everything. 4) if still not working restore image and start over. 5) do this until you run out of instructions 6) ask for help.
If anyone has any instruction to setup .htaccess and mod_rewrite and vsftpd I will try them. I have tried all that I can find on the web so far.
can you see the default /about/ page that was created?
If not, mod_rewrite is not reading the htaccess file.
Have you a working .htaccess file? mod_rewrite.so installed and enabled? Groups/Owner perms set up correctly to allow necessary file / directories to be read / written to?
