BuddyPress

Hi everyone!

It’s likely that WordPress 3.2 will be released very soon – anywhere from the next few hours to the next few days. One big change in WP 3.2 will affect BP users: the version of jQuery shipped with WP will jump from 1.4.4 to 1.6.1. (Read more about the change on the WP development blog.)

BP’s packaged theme, BuddyPress Default (or bp-default, for short) makes extensive use of jQuery, and you’ll find that the version of bp-default in BP 1.2.8 is not 100% compatible with WP 3.2. Not to worry – we are planning a same-day BuddyPress release, BP 1.2.9. However, due to various technical reasons beyond our control, the jQuery in bp-default BP 1.2.9 will not work properly with earlier versions of jQuery.

What this means, in a nutshell, is that you should upgrade your production BP website to WP 3.2 at the same time that you upgrade BP to 1.2.9. Conversely, if you do not plan to upgrade to WP 3.2, do not upgrade BP to 1.2.9 when it comes out.

WordPress 3.2 is out. So we are waiting for BP 1.2.9

will the update from 1.29 to 1.3 be as smooth as this one (from 1.28 to 1.29) ?

Well, it will be a bit more complex. But we’ll do our best!

@valuser – The migration to 1.3 will be just as easy, but we are making a few under-the-hood changes that still need to be tested for backwards compatibility.

Bril & thanks.

Curious why wp is using jQuery 1.6.1 vs. 1.6.2 esp considering some of the bugs that were fixed.
This ticket alone was considered ‘serious’ and drove me absolutely nuts until upgrading:

http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/9300

Interesting I guess we can always de-register the WP script and enqueue our own versions if necessary, not that may help where plugins are concerned.

if no one has reproaches, will use this topic to report wp 3.2 bp 1.2.9 issues.

from other topics and my experience so far:

site wide activities:
- reply button loads nothing;
- item tabs load nothing;
- drop down loads nothing;

Testing on a default install of BP 1.2.9 / WP 3.2 Activity dir: all reply buttons in activity stream lists work, item-list-tabs work, dropdown activity-filter works.

Are you running bp-default? Have you force refreshed your cache?

hi hnla, you were faster than me.
just checked all issues again and have to say sorry, all problems are from child theme (bp-default works just fine).
can not find changelog of 1.2.9, were there any important changes I should implement in child theme?

thanks.

@janismo I too get the filter dropdowns in the groups/ forums/ members/ activity etc doing nothing now in BP 1.2.9

Got a developer looking at it now.

Hopefully we’ll find the cause!

Keep me posted if you find out why!

hi @rossagrant, just found why.

in my case it was tutorial re how to hide/reveal activity replies. (I did not use plugin, therefore, these are lines

<?php if ( !bp_is_activity_permalink() ) : ?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.2.min.js "></script>
<?php endif; ?>

in header of my child theme.

if you do not use this tutorial, or plugin from the same author, check all other plugins, which use jquery.

James makes a good point. If you use a plugin (or custom code) that registers a non-standard versions of jQuery, you will have problems with the JS in bp-default (as well as WP and many other plugins).
