BuddyPress

I did upgrade and I see the message
Network Admin > BuddyPress > Forums Setup
bbPress files were not found. To install the forums component you must download a copy of bbPress and make sure it is in the folder: “wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/”

There is a problem with the way that wordpress.org created the zip file. We’re looking into it.

Thanks for looking into it.

Same problem. So I went to go get a copy @ bbpress now i got this
Warning: require_once(/home4/techtro2/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-includes/class.bb-query.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home4/techtro2/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress.php on line 19

yes, it wasn’t there, and now i lost my forums. even after copying the files back.
can you tell me if there’s a way to fix it?
if i go to forums i get a blank page

There’s a dev working on it…

ok.

If you copied the files back over and it’s blank try to go back to admin >> buddypress >> forums set up and do a re install. Click the Use an existing bbPress installation button.

my website is thechillax.com so you can see what happen.

ok fix the white page of death by deleting bb-config now just to find out how to get the real bbpress.

@modemlooper i did that and still white.
@josh101 did you delete your bb-config to make it work?

ok, did a fresh install and it seems the bbpress folder is missing. http://bbpress.org/download/

Place bbpress into bp-forums/bbpress

I would say, upgrading to WP 3.1 and BP 1.2.8 is risky for live installs. Some BP plugins will break.

Now I’m completely broken by this as well on my site on onesangha.org.

So, the fix that worked for me was:

1. Go to http://bbpress.org/download/ and download current bbpress zip or tar file.
2. Unzip or untar it, which will give you a “bbpress” directory
3. Ftp to your site. Rename bb-config.php to something else in your root directory.
4. go to “wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/
5. In that directory, upload the bbpress directory (not the contents of it but the actual bbpress directory including its contents)
6. Rename bb-config.php back to bb-config.php in your root directory for your wordpress site
7. Go to *yoursite*/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bb-forums-setup
8. Tell it to reinstall bbpress using the existing file (and make sure it is pointing to the right path to find bb-config.php)

This fixed my site and everything is working again.
