I seem to be having the same problem and not sure how to fix it. I have the latest wordpress and buddypress. WordPress seems to be working just fine until I activate buddypress plugin.
The admin says that you must change permalinks to something other than default so I tried all of the other choices to no avail. I also activated the default buddypress theme but I get links like:
http://buddypress.kistenterprises.com/members/admin/profile/public/
leading to 404 errors when I have the permalink selected that looks like:
http://buddypress.kistenterprises.com/index.php/archives/123
Obviously I need to set up a custom permalink but not sure how to structure it.
Any Help? Thanks.

@etiviti,
Cheers!
I’ll release the plugin tomorrow when I’m at home and have the SVN access to upload to the wordpress site.
The only thing I’ve not added is ordered and unordered lists. so when enabling the buttons for the other you may want to take these out until at some point I can get that working? 
it supports everything else though as well as the color tag.
Cheers

Thanks for the feedback, kriski. I have wondered about pagination myself. It is easy to add it (actually, it’s already in the code but I commented it out). But I don’t know how best to implement it. If you have 50,000 members, then paging through using WP’s pagination feature is going to take for-ev-er.
Maybe I’ll put pagination in the next version of the plugin, making the default number of members per page pretty high (100, maybe). Then in the future I’ll add an autocomplete like the one in https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/ so that admins have a way to find members even on an enormous installation.
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/
awesome! i’ll update my plugin to refer to this one – and an option to output the bbcode buttons too
mean I have to do …
don’t forget to remove the closing endif statement.

By the way, when you installed it, did you have to change any settings? Specifically, was “Disable Buddypress Filters” de-selected by default? It should be checked by default on WordPress (it is), and un-checked by default on BuddyPress.
If you just care about your BP data, export all database tables with “wp_bp_” prefixed in them, as well as the “wp_users” and”wp_usermeta” tables.
Preferably try this on a new install of standard WP with BP installed on a local testbox.
Then try importing the tables you exported above into your testbox’s db.
Disclaimer: This is all theoretical!
There might be a few things you need to manually change in the SQL export, but I’m not sure at this point.
Also, hope you’re not using user blogs on WPMU!
oEmbed for BuddyPress – works with activity streams and forum posts
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-buddypress/
Only works with BP 1.2.
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

or ~ https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/avatar-upload-issues/
or ~ https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/faq-how-to-code-snippets-and-solutions#post-11864
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.
