Dains,

How does one downgrade a WP installation?

Is there an easier solution to Groupblog’s incompatibility with WP3.1?

I found a solution. Don’t know if this is a ‘clean solution’ (guess not) but it works for me:

Open bp-groupblog-admin.php
Replace (around 250)

/**
* bp_groupblog_add_admin_menu()
*/
function bp_groupblog_add_admin_menu() {
global $wpdb, $bp;

if ( !is_site_admin() )
return false;

/* Add the administration tab under the “Site Admin” tab for site administrators */
add_submenu_page( ‘bp-general-settings’, __( ‘GroupBlog Setup’, ‘groupblog’ ), ‘‘ . __( ‘GroupBlog Setup’, ‘groupblog’ ) . ‘   ‘, ‘manage_options’, ‘bp_groupblog_management_page’, ‘bp_groupblog_management_page’ );

}
add_action( ‘admin_menu’, ‘bp_groupblog_add_admin_menu’, 10 );

with:

/**
* bp_groupblog_add_admin_menu()
*/
function bp_groupblog_add_admin_menu() {
global $wpdb, $bp;

if ( !is_site_admin() )
return false;

// If this is WP 3.1+ and multisite is enabled, only load on the Network Admin
if ( is_multisite() && function_exists( ‘is_network_admin’ ) && ! is_network_admin() )
return false;

/* Add the administration tab under the “Site Admin” tab for site administrators */
add_submenu_page( ‘bp-general-settings’, __( ‘GroupBlog Setup’, ‘groupblog’ ), ‘‘ . __( ‘GroupBlog Setup’, ‘groupblog’ ) . ‘   ‘, ‘manage_options’, ‘bp_groupblog_management_page’, ‘bp_groupblog_management_page’ );

}
add_action( is_multisite() ? ‘network_admin_menu’ : ‘admin_menu’, ‘bp_groupblog_add_admin_menu’, 10 );

And GroupBlog Setup shows up in the menu for you to fill out….

@ronaldzw code worked for me too – had to replace some of the quotes though – as they came through as weird characters that PHP didn’t really like…

Cheers

A BP 1.5 compatible version of BP Groupblog should be released sometime this week. You can get the development version from https://github.com/boonebgorges/bp-groupblog

It should be running fine, though if it makes you feel better you can wait until the stable version is out. It’s possible that you were running the new and old versions side by side, which would cause fatal errors.

In any case, you do not need to reinstall WP when stuff like this happens. Just navigate to your plugin folder, and rename/delete the folder of the plugin that caused the problem (bp-groupblog in this case).
