BuddyPress 1.2.5
June 29, 2010 in News
Ready immediately is BuddyPress 1.2.5, which includes a number of important bug fixes to the 1.2 branch of code, and is another highly recommended upgrade. As always, be sure to back-up your installations before upgrading, and deactivate any dependent plugins that you might have to ensure there are no conflicts or errors during the process.
This version addresses a few WordPress 3.0 compatibility issues introduced in 1.2.4, and fixes a total of 49 reported issues.Check out the BuddyPress release history for details on the important fixes in this release.
We are Family
This time around we had a lot of community participation, which rocks because we’re starting to find lots of little obscure bugs that would have been overlooked otherwise. Props go out to abackstrom, boonebgorges, cnorris23, dwenaus, erich73, francescolaffi, hempsworth, jeffsayre, paulgibbs, paulhastings0, nuprn1, r-a-y, rvenable, wpmuguru, and everyone else that contributed. (If I missed you, leave a comment below and I’ll add you.)
Communication
Near the end of this versions’ development cycle, participation really ramped up mostly in part to better communication in the support forums from our core developers and moderation team. 1.2.5 would not have been possible without the passion and enthusiasm of our users, and we really appreciate your involvement in the project.
Plugin Authors
If you are a plugin author, you’re going to want to read this post about the new actions you should be using to load your code exactly where it belongs. BuddyPress 1.2.5 takes a big step forward towards being much more ‘dependent plugin’ friendly, but possibly at the risk of breaking existing plugins depending on how they’ve been developed.
Now go update!

BuddyPress is alive !

Thank you!
But sometimes main page drops down. I go to http://abc.com/wp-admin. There I see red message like: “BuddyPress Like requires the BuddyPress plugin to work. Please install BuddyPress first, or deactivate BuddyPress Like.”

Great job and thanks to all the contributors! Looking forward to the next release and hoping that buddypress will get some type of moderation like the wordpress comment type and not just user report a post.

That’s really nice!
But I’m still waiting for BP 1.3 to start creating professional BP themes

@johnjamesjacoby Way to go JJJ

The /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages/buddypress-fr_FR.mo translation file were deleted during the update from BP 1.2.4.1 to 1.2.5.
I put again the file and BuddyPress 1.2.5 works fine now. Good job !
@mercime said on June 30, 2010
Cool, @johnjamesjacoby. Thank you. Will be checking this out in test installs for the meantime to see how many bp-dependent plugins will break with this version and report to plugin authors as needed.
Would be good to know though, if plugin devs plan to upgrade their code to meet major changes with BP 1.2.5 or wait till BP 1.3 rolls out since that’s the version expected to support WP 3.0 100% so they won’t have to do over the plugin twice.
@SlaFFik, same here.
Cheers all around.

After I installed the update today, I tried to delete a duplicate user and assign her posts and comments to the name she wants to keep and got:
Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in …/html/coyote/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-classes.php on line 1053
I realized I also had a spammer signed up, and tried to delete his/her posts and comments along with the user, and got the same error message.
Help?

Congratulations for this fantastic work!. I’m looking foward to see BP 1.3 and using it with WP 3.0.
Good work guys
Jeremy said on June 30, 2010
I am also receiving the same message as Deena. I even did a clean install of my entire site and still getting the error message. If I try to remove a batch of users it will remove one but no more and still gives me this “Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/positive/polititalk/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-classes.php on line 1053″

Great works guys………….looking forward to your next surprise
Jeremy said on June 30, 2010
So I now had to disable registration for my site because I really cannot spam or delete spam registration. Hopefully there is a fix for this. Or can someone post a link to 1.2.4.1. That’s what I was using before with no apparent issues.

@jsartwell – Hopefully a release will be put out in the coming days that addresses this. In the meantime, check out the fix for this on Trac – http://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/3113

Thank you for all the bug fixes! Thank you to everyone that contributed!
Doug Daulton said on July 4, 2010
Thanks guys. Have noticed two odd behaviors post-upgrade on WP 3.0. Will check bugs and add new ones if not already there.

Great work by Team BP.
Did any one have luck with showing BP Avatars in WordPress 3 (MS) blog comments ? WP continues to show Gravatars even when users have ‘changed’ Avatars from their BP accounts. Any help will be appreciated as this is not letting the site go online.
KVron said on July 5, 2010
I’m having the same problem as @Deena and @Jeremy
This error happens in both the frontend and backend when trying to delete any user.
Mitch said on July 5, 2010
I’m getting the same error message when trying to delete spamers/users:
Fatal error @: wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-classes.php on line 1053
David King said on July 21, 2010
I installed Buddpress on my wordpress site (I’d rather not post the url- sorry) and for some reason when I try to go anywhere in the very top navigation (My Account, Notifications) it takes me to the Members page. The main four links work fine (Home, Activity, Members, Groups) it’s just the top nav. I’ve tried deleting the plugin, uninstalling, and reinstalling but no change. I tried downloading BP through the website and installing but it caused a fatal error so it didn’t install. I also tried clicking links in the top nav through wp-admin but it took me to the members section again.
