Hey hatiro,
I had a question about the exact same thing a couple of months ago; here’s the thread:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/excluding-certain-blogs-from-bp_has_site_blogs-function
I know in the past, Unfiltered MU has been working just dandy. Only recently have people found any bugs, but no one’s been able to narrow it down and let the dev of the plugin know about it so he can fix it.
No, the problem is importing 180+ posts, most of them with object and embed tags.
Initially I was hosting my own videos and I still want to keep that option. There doesn’t seem to be a plugin for that.
And I’m a bit reluctant to fall back to yet another plugin for something that should be standard html. If it causes security issues, WP should come up with smarter ways to deal with them instead of just erasing 80% of my posts.
If these plugins are so effective, has anyone integrated them with export/import, so that object/embed tags are automatically converted to safe tags?
I’m happy to keep my own blog “unsafe” and block object/embed for other blogs on the system. If someone could fix Unfiltered MU so I can do that again, that would solve my headache.
If you’re just looking to post video code, there’s plenty of video embed plugins for regular WordPress that work just fine in MU.
this is one I use often:

Hi
in the next version of BP – 1.1 – themes work much more like WordPress. If you have your own local development install of BuddyPress, upgrade to the ‘trunk’ version.
It seems to be a bug.
Open a ticket in the trac https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket
r-a-y
Thanks for the reply
When browsing in my File Manager, I can locate lhe loader.php file. It’s location is:
/public_html/wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/css/loader.php
When I copied ‘bp-themes’ folder across from the ‘buddypress’ folder to the ‘wp-contnet’ folder, I simply copied the whole ‘bp-themes’ folder. I assume this will bring all the sub-folders with it??
Hmm… interesting. I’ll have to make note of this for my own needs as well!
Anyway, you don’t have to hack the kses.php file, you could use an mu-plugin like Embed Allower:
http://github.com/ceefour/embed_allower/blob/160f179357835bfb6eda26952ed972f674c19365/embed_allower.php
Or Allow Embedded Videos:
http://wpmudev.org/project/Allow-Embedded-Videos
Have you tried enabling the Unfiltered MU plugin in the blog in question before you imported your posts?
Yes, of course. That used to work, but no longer.
I’m not using object/embed in any BP component. My original question was about the blog as well. I’d posted the question here because I hadn’t seen the same problem in WP.
That’s an interesting solution, jorries.
Much simpler than what I was thinking of!
I learn something new about BuddyPress all the time!
Hey Peter,
Have you tried enabling the Unfiltered MU plugin in the blog in question before you imported your posts?
Burt’s solution applies only to BP components, so if you’re not using object or embed tags in any BP component don’t worry about it.

Sorry, details are:
1. Which version of WPMU are you running?
2.8.4
2. Did you install WPMU as a directory or subdomain install?
Directory
3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?
root
4. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU? If so, from which version?
Yes, 2.8.1
5. Was WPMU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress?
Yes
6. Which version of BuddyPress (BP) are you running?
1.0.3
7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?
Yes, 1.0.1.
However, I could not get the auto upgrade function to work through the WPMU plugins browser, so I manually deleted all the BP1.0.1 and installed BP1.0.3.
BP1.0.1 was working correctly before installing BP1.0.3.
8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated?
No
9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes?
Standard
10. Have you modified the core files in any way?
No
11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php?
No
12. If running bbPress, which version?
Not running
13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files.
Error log is empty.
Crap! Okay, I spoke too soon. When I posted the above reply, I received a blank page. But, at least the “strong” tag inserting issue has been “solved”.
Well, it seems that the tinyMCE (or whatever Javascript WYSIWYG Editor these bbPress forums were using) may have been causing the issue. It has been removed from the posting and editing panel and now I have no issues–especially the really annoying “strong” tag inserting issue that WebKit-based browser users experienced.
I can live without the convenience of quicktags. I’m very glad that I no longer have to deal with the “strong” tag issue.
Thank you for the response! I’m a total newbie at buddypress/wordpress mu/bbpress. Would you be able to provide some additional details as to how I can accomplish the 2 suggestions you provided, so I can head in the right direction? I’m not quite sure where to start. I’m using the bphome/bpmember themes.
Hello accentix,
Yes, 1 wpmu-buddypress installation = 1 social network. But each new member can add blogs as subdomain (or subdirectory).
I think the white pages identify BuddyPress as giving users a clean slate; something that can easily be built upon.
“BuddyPress: Bear friendly, and no regrets.”
LOL I actually got a white screen when I went to post this. 
My guess is it’s a server/user issue; probably getting overloaded as BP becomes more popular. I know that Google is probably indexing the heck out of it, because Googling my name comes up with a TON of BP links.
At lriggle; Your first issue sounds more like a cookie issue between BuddyPress and bbPress. Logging through bbPress isn’t giving you the correct cookies for WordPress/BuddyPress to recognize you as logged in. You’ve got some kind of one-way communication going on, and that can be hard to track down. Start by checking your bbPress integration settings and go from there?
The second issue is just a login screen thing. If you click the login link on the buddybar anyways, it will just direct you to the WordPress login page, which will dump you back at the blog root by default. There are other redirection plugins for WordPress and WPMU that will help with this.
Yep, see my “UPDATE” section in my post above. I brought this to Andy’s attention yesterday. He said he would pass it on.
But, I kind of like the white pages. It makes you feel like you are being kept from seeing something secret! 
Perhaps it should randomly change the screen color just to add some flavor–black, blue, orange, red or even clear!
Aye; it’s happening for everyone all the time randomly. My guess is the appropriate people wearing the right hats are already working on it.
P.S. – All browsers; Vista 64, random white screens fixed by refresh. Happens with all actions (posting, editing, and just viewing pages and posts.)

…also in my own WPMU (2.8.4) install with the latest BP trunk (1696).
The blank-page issue is specific only to these forums (BuddyPress.org/forum/…). Several of us are running the latest Leopard and Safari versions and often run into this issue after posting a reply to a thread. It seems to occur less frequently when accessing the main forums page.
As far as we can determine, it does not show any tendency to be more prevalent in one browser versus another. It also occurs for at least one of the BP moderators who is on a WinTel machine (for him both in IE and FF).
If anyone else is currently experiencing this issue, please post a quick reply here. Include your OS, browser, and noticed behavior.
UPDATE: I just logged out of BP and was redirected to a blank https://buddypress.org/ page. So, it is not a bug that only logged in people see and it is not restricted to the forums. I did suggest to Andy that the server(s) be rebooted as an easy first step. Sometimes that is all it takes. But, I think BP.org is split between several (how many) servers. I’m not sure what else may share that space. So, it may not be as easy (or at least as convinent) as I would think.
It loads fine for me with Mac OS X 10.5.8 and Safari 4.0.3, also in my own WPMU (2.8.4) install with the latest BP trunk (1696).
Hi Jeff,
many thanks for confirming ! So I do know now that it´s not an issue I am having myself only.
I just had the issue when I was trying to load the main page at URL http://www.buddypress.org
Best regards,
Erich
