Hi Mike,
Your code is correct, but since your page isn’t the BP_REGISTER_SLUG or BP_ACTIVATION_SLUG, it will lead you to redirect hell!
Add your page (and any other page you need to whitelist from blocking) to the following conditional:
if ( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || THEWELCOMEPAGE ) //buddypress
return;
Change THEWELCOMEPAGE to something that checks if you’re on welcome.php.
If welcome.php is a WordPress page with the slug of “welcome”, you would use something like:
is_page('welcome')
So your conditional would look like:
if ( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || is_page('welcome') ) //buddypress
return;
Hope that helps!
@blackphantom First of all great plugin! “Dank je wel!”
I do not have any authorisation problems, using libcurl/7.15.5 OpenSSL/0.9.8c zlib/1.2.3 libidn/0.6.5, single wordpress 2.9.1, buddypress 1.2.1 and PHP 5.2. I am using the latest Tweetstream version.
Tweets from bp->twitter work fine.
However, when I tweet from bp -> twitter with the profile link, the link shows a “page not found” error (see: http://pixelcasting.com/moestuintwt/oXSxJvd )
Is this me, or…?
No r-a-y …. it is not a BBpress issue. It is a Buddypress issue.
Why have so many of the default features, and admin tools/backend, been removed from the Buddypress installation of BBpress and is there an “official” roadmap for when they might be re-added?
It is a Buddypress issue because it is about what Buddypress will or will not become.
Is it going to mature into a proper social network/discussion forum, with the features average users have come to expect, or are we just guinea pigs for some feature that may or may not one day make it into WordPress.com?
mu or single user wordpress? the version info is not in the <head> but the /blog url indicates it’s MU. at first I thought PHP GD library, it’s not ~ you’re on a (gs) at media temple and I’ve tested there, and seem to remember running into this so I registered on your site to test (I like the cure anyhow) and I notice that your image url path is off ~ if you running from the sites/ directory with mu are there any other custom configurations to accomodate not running it from the root folder that might effect this url?
~ you may try “Settings” >> “Miscellaneous” Clear “Store uploads in this folder”-path

otherwise, try to make sure that your wp-content/blogs.dir/ have the proper permissions and that your uploads url settings are correct.
There’s also another BP Profile Privacy plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-privacy/
The feature set appears to be identical.
Haven’t tried any of these plugins yet though.
[EDIT]
Just glancing the codebase of both. The one I link to appears to be coded cleaner, though I’m not sure which one offers better UI.
I’m releasing an update to the the bbcode plugin – it’s not online yet but coming soon : https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/boingball-bbcode/
The only thing I couldn’t get to support was the lists at the present time….
I installed the BP automatically :
NOTE: For the Automatic Upgrade/Install of Plugins/Themes and WordPress Upgrades, No special permissions need to be set. All WordPress files should remain owned by your user account, You should NOT have to make them world writable(777).
Didn’t change any permissions
and if you can’t deactivate them, delete the files from the site since access violation implies that the permissions on the files are not correct ~ take a look here (https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions) to make sure you have the proper permissions on the files

All buddypress-specific code goes in Buddypress.php, which gets included if the “Include Buddypress Filters” option is checked.
As far as what Andy’s specific function does or what you need to do, that’s your job 
The plugin works in WordPress, and I don’t know what specific different criteria BuddyPress introduces, nor do I have a way to test it.
As far as how the plugin works, it’s documented pretty thoroughly both on http://www.justin-klein.com/projects/wp-fb-autoconnect and in its comments (you can ignore the adminpanel code which is obviously not *functionally* relevant…just for setting settings).
@Mariusooms,
Although there’s not an interface for it, if you know how to use subversion, you can submit enhancements or fixes for anything on the WordPress repository (prettymuch everything around here). All plugins can be checked out from the repository by anyone, then you can make changes, submit your changes to the maintainer. Check out this link:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Subversion#Saving_patch.2Fdiff_files
or alternatively place support in for https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gorzeks-bbcode-plugin/
as this supports
/* Supported codes:

I would prefer that as the other bbcode pluging requires some work for lists 
If I update the bbcode plugin with these features could I upload it to wordpress? and then you wouldn’t need to modify all the buttons?
I’m doing it now – got strikethrough working.
working on list’s now.
I’ll post the problem here too. Thanks @r-a-y for pointing me in the direction of this forum topic.
When I try to rate forum posts using this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-rate-forum-posts/ I get this error message popping up across the forum post.
<b>Warning</b>: require_once(/usr/home/litcirc/public_html/bb-config.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <b>/usr/home/litcirc/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-rate-forum-posts/rate.php</b> on line <b>5</b>
Line 5 in rate.php is “require_once ABSPATH . ‘bb-config.php’;”
I’m out of my element here. Is the plugin looking for bb-config.php and cannot find it? according to the dashboard bbpress is configured correctly.
Any thoughts?
Are you trying to keep Group A from reading the Posts from Group B? If not, what about just using the P2 theme http://p2theme.wordpress.com/ on a Group Blog using this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/ and then instruct users to categorize or tag appropriately. P2 makes it easy for the community to post without having to go into the dashboard.
Sorry if this isn’t what you are thinking of.
Thanks a lot, folks, I appreciate the feedback. Just to clarify:
I do want users to be able to create blog posts that funnel into a master blog (community blog). Whether they have a place that is their own blogspace is irrelevant as long as they never leave the site. In other words, a social networking site where a community blog is one of the features.
I think what I want is probably Community Blogs for BuddyPress (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-community-blogs). The difference, then, would be this plugin means all posts go to a single blog and WPMU means all posts each have their own blog which are all served from within my site?
I’ve looked at some BP sites that have a list of blogs such as this one: http://dangerous-minds.org/blogs/
That’s WPMU, right?
Also, glad to hear they’ll be rolled in together with 3.0!
I’ve made the changes mentioned above. so that if you have a bbpress install at a different location, the plugin will work.
I’ve added the ability to hide karma points. it is accessed in the admin.
I also noticed a bug with how the karma rating was showing up on the members page and fixed it.
the new version is 1.2 and should be visible here momentarily: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-rate-forum-posts/
enjoy.

Still much nicer to have all the discussion live on the plugin page (which is linked to from the download page on wordpress and the admin panel, so it’s where users will go for support usually)
Yes, Jeff explains things much clearly.
You can use single WP and assign users a WP role of contributor or editor if you want users to post on the same blog.
If you want what WordPress.com offers — single user blogs — then opt for WPMU.
I had to add this module to my WP 2.9.2 setup (I’m not using WPMU) to get the user activation emails to work
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
After configuring this module, things worked like a charm.
I have the same problem and can’t access /members /activity /groups /blogs
can i just downgrade to 2.9.1

I’d be quite interested in hearing opinions on my next proposed step to resolve this.
I’m currently building a website for a friend who is on United Hosting’s most basic 200mb webspace package. Out of curiosity, I installed Buddypress. It worked. Immediately.
So, I had the little idea of registering for a brand new, basic hosting package for one month (£5 to get this sorted is perfectly acceptable I’d say) where I will install Buddypress on it and get it configured.
I could then import the database tables of my other wordpress install on my other hosting package and go from there, importing themes/plugins etc back bit by bit being very careful as to avoid getting the internal server error again.
I cuold then cancel the old hosting account and stick with the new one, upgrading it to the hosting package I’m currently on. Is it hard to import and export a rather large WP databse with other 2400 articles in it?
Is this solution advised? I can’t think of anything else.. nothing as immediate, anyway.
That said, if it’s something in my WordPress database causing the internal server error, I guess I’m as good as screwed.
@rickbradford
…I want all member blogs on a single site…
If you want to offer your members their own blog, then you will need to use WPMU. The fact that each of your members has their own blog does not mean they have their own site. All the blogs are located on and served from your site.
If you only want to have one blog but offer a social networking layer on top of that using BuddyPress, then single-version (solo-blog) WordPress is all that you need. But, with both WPMU and WP, BuddyPress will allow you to create a social network. As Andy says, the only difference is whether you want to offer your members the option to create their own blogs on your site.
So excited for Monday! 
Thanks for looking into that foxly.
This is the plugin I was referring to – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cubepoints/
There documentation – http://techcube.net/docs/1.3/docs.html
It’s the only points system for WordPress Single Install
The debate about the wire vs activity stream has happened several times already on this board, so it’s probably not worth rehashing it, though for what it’s worth xspringe I think you make some fair points.
For the moment, if you want to keep the wire, use the backward compatibility plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-backwards-compatibility/
