I’m running the latest version of SVN trunk, using the default home and members themes. Whenever I click on a link to accept a friendship request, I get the “Are you sure you want to do this?” message. Any suggestions? Thank you.
I might add this is also happening on my test installation, too, running the same setup, only in a sub dir.
egerrits are you working too on that?
I’ve almost finished mine

You just need to make sure you reference that directory everyplace you need to within BuddyPress and bbPress to make sure they see each other.
SWEEET SUCCESSSSS!
Okay… For those of that might be using “deep integration” namely using your BuddyPress/MU functions in bbPress, at the time of this writing at the top of your bb-config.php file, put…
if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) & !defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST')) {
include_once( 'absolute/path/to/your/wordpressmu-directory/wp-blog-header.php' );
}
This way, it only tries to include the MU/BP functions if they haven’t already been defined and if it’s NOT a xmlrpc request!
DUH! Yay! Burt, haha you rule…
Found the problem with the 404 page showing up on a redirect with buddypress. It’s not buddypress.
in wp-includes/pluggable.php in the main wp core the function wp_redirect –
if ( $is_IIS ) {
header(“Refresh: 0;url=$location”);
} else {
if ( php_sapi_name() != ‘cgi-fcgi’ )
status_header($status); // This causes problems on IIS and some FastCGI setups
header(“Location: $location”);
}
the $is_IIS is doing a REFRESH: 0; url=location when on windows server 2008 header(“Location: $location”); works fine with the latest fast-cgi module release
SOO basically in wp-includes vars.php making this change:
/**
* Whether the server software is IIS or something else
* @global bool $is_IIS
*/
if (strpos($_SERVER, ‘Microsoft-IIS’)) {
if (strpos($_SERVER, ‘Microsoft-IIS/7.0’)) {
$is_IIS = false;
} else {
$is_IIS = true; // (strpos($_SERVER, ‘Microsoft-IIS’) !== false) ? true : false;
}
} else {
$is_IIS = false;
}
fixed it, by declaring that a microsoft-iis/7.0 server is *not* iis
John, the user you use for group forums just has to have an ‘Administrator’ role or better. Keymaster should work. You should be aware that the password for that user is stored on the wpmu side in plain text in the blog 1 meta data table. Gotta have access to phpmyadmin to get it but..
Your permalinks on the bbpress side don’t have anything to do with it at all. XMLRPC is used and the only query for any type of asset by URL is to the xmlrpc.php file. Permalinks don’t come into play at all. As long as the wpmu side can find your site’s root url and the xmlrpc.php file that is supposed to live there all is well.
Don’t know about the deep integration question.
I followed all the steps and it still wasn’t working. I was doing everything right. I did everything right about 10 times. Still wasn’t working. This thread is me finding out why: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=426
You’re quite welcome. Oh, and welcome to BuddyPress!
egerrits, come on over to this thread and contribute to the discussion there.

thanks appreciate it very much, the users are loving the buddypress i’m very happy that i’m using it
the members, directory and blog -> widget area (sidebar) are all the same where it needs the float cleared at the end of the loop if you could
sorry I forgot this one:
define( ‘NOBLOGREDIRECT’, ‘http://webcomicplanet.com/’ );
I need to use ^^ that in the wp-config.php so that it redirects however if I do that, the 404 error doesnt refresh to the appropriate page when doing a buddypress action so i’m guessing that’s related
this is windows server 2008 so i’m sure there are some problems here and there
Stand corrected…it is a bug, but not a buddypress bug 
Activate the theme per normal for the main website, or main blog of your website. Then, in Site Admin under themes, disable it. At that point it will stay enabled for your 1 blog, and no one else can choose it.
If you edit a blog specifically from the Blog menu in Site Admin, you can still optionally enable the BuddyPress Home theme if you’d like.
Albums should be a core BuddyPress feature. Hopefully we will see this feature soon.
His previous post on same problem https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1256
I can point to other threads about this same issue on the mu forums by Bill. Wouldn’t do much good though it’s the same problem and there was no resolution over there either.
I don’t know how the problem was resolved in the thread above. I was just told by Bill that it was fixed in a PM. I got the impression that Bill had found the problem and it was a *smack forehead* duh! kinda thing. I didn’t pursue it any further. Closed the topic so people wouldn’t think it was an outstanding issue.
Nobody else is having this particular issue and yes it’s been going on for some time now.
I made a snarky post because it was the only thing that generated any sort of assistance. I expect to have problems with RC-1 versions. I also expect the support forum to work. This is the first comment I’ve been able to successfully post in days. I spend months telling my members bloggers that BuddyPress was going to do wonders for their blog.
As I recall, the post that most recently preceded the break was one that included an image, followed by one line of text.
I’m not trying to be snarky here, but I would expect a plugin to not break when this happens. I have bloggers who post almost nothing but pictures and YouTube videos.
It’s not a theme issue, since this has happened using at least three different themes on my front page and on a member blog.
With all due respect, your attitude makes me want to help you less, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.
First of all, this is pre-release software, if you were not prepared or did not expect potential headaches, then you should not have installed BuddyPress.
The community around this project is coming on leaps and bounds, usually all threads will eventually get an answer which is almost unheard of for something so new. There have been caching issues with the forums, nothing to do with bbPress, and it has been temperamental with all forums on Automattic servers. This should be cleared up now.
Your problem sounds like perhaps something in a post is breaking the blogs widget, which would explain why it sometimes works, and sometimes does not.
If you can somehow monitor which post was the newest when the widget stopped working, that would help a great deal to address what it is in the post that is breaking the widget.
If anyone else has experienced this issue – please post a reply here.
Ok so…I have successfully installed bbpress, WPMU and buddypress via the instructions here…Still getting this when trying to create forum: “Attention Site Admin: Group forums require correct setup and configuration of a bbPress installation.”
I have ran through the steps 10 times and have MU 2.7, bbpress 1.0-alpha-6 & Buddypress beta 2.
I also should know that in dev, I followed all the same steps and had success. Would there be any reason why cookies work, duplicate log-ins work and yet no forum sync up?
Not using WP Cache are you? If so, obviously delete files in cache?
I’ve also noticed some quirks with the jQuery versions. Make sure you’re using the .js file versions included with both BuddyPress and WPMU, as updating to the new versions available at the jQuery website seems to break things for me. Don’t ask how I know.
You should have the following folders:
/wp-content/member-themes
/wp-content/themes/buddypress-home
Both of those will come from the mu-plugins/buddypress-theme directory.
Hope this helps,
Terry
It’s the same problem: add friend, join group and letter list. I can’t reproduce this on my side. The security system called ‘nonce’ is failing on your sites and only when the individual link security is wrapped in a larger form security mechanism.
What do you two have in common?
modemlooper, did you just upgrade from a prev version of bp like cdutoit?
I’m gonna close this thread. Let’s all talk in one. See me in:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1315
I have written a general forum plugin, which takes the group forum plugin, and initialize it to a second bbpress install, which is a general forums. It is very rough, and needs some work before I might release it. It has the advantage over doing a bbpress theme, that is uses the buddypress theme. The downside is it uses the xmlrpc for all communication to the bbpress install.
You can see it here, I’m waiting for a ticket I opened in trac for the error to go away, but you get an idea how it works:

Thanks much! Just FYI there is another thread here:

That is referencing the same problem, but also no solution yet.
Really appreciate the help

modemlooper – I have the same problem with the “add friend”. I have a similar thread going here:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1315
Burtadsit is trying to help me over there. I’m sure it will be the same solution for both of us.
