Just 5 days after 1.5 Beta 1, up for grabs today for all you early adopters and plugin and theme developers is BuddyPress 1.5 Beta 2. It fixes a few bugs that cropped up early in Beta 1, and we want everyone to test with the newest code available.
If you are a BuddyPress plugin author, now is your time to help us help you, and check out all the work that’s gone into making the next version of BuddyPress faster, more efficient, more secure, and easier to code against.
As always, please DO NOT run BuddyPress Beta software on your live production site. There are going to be quirks with existing plugins, and we will be updating code rapidly as bug reports come in. Install BuddyPress 1.5 on a local installation or a test site, and let us know if you find anything that isn’t working the way it should. We are hoping the beta period will only last a few weeks, with a release in August.
You can download BuddyPress 1.5 Beta 2 today, from the bottom of our Trac page.
Huge thanks to all of our testers!
That was quick. This is a dumb question, but where do I post bug reports?

I can almost already see this new 1.5 BuddyPress release ready! Good on you guys, and thank you for your fabulous work, as always.
@CelticWarrior72 If you’re sure it’s a bug, put it on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/. If you aren’t sure, or want feedback, post on the forums on this site 🙂 Thanks for testing!
Thanks Paul. I left the comments where you suggested. This is the first time I’ve ever been involved in helping test a beta version of software, so please forgive me if my comments don’t follow development protocol (if there is one). Thanks for all your work on this. Cheers!

Have you considered a plugin like the wordpress beta?
If I have 5000 groups, does it mean I will have 5000 pages? Somewhere on the net they say when the number of pages exeeds 100 or 200, it will bring up performence issue.
What you guys say?
If you have 5,000 groups you probably have at 4 or 5 times as many pages depending on whether you have the forums activated and how many posts there are in each forum and how many paginated pages there are in each post of each forum of each group. Then each page for each individual activity permalink page. Probably more I’m not thinking of right now.
Hi
a really great job. WordPress is awsome with buddypress.
[…] second beta of BuddyPress 1.5 has been released. BuddyPress development is definitely on the fast track, as this comes just 5 days after the […]
Hi, all.
I have a problem with ‘extended profile fields’. If I try to add a new field using checkboxes only the first checkbox appears but if I choose, for example, a drop-down select box there is no problem and I can see all the options. I think this is a bug (or maybe I’m doing something wrong).
Cheers!!!
Surely W3 cache would fox any issues with >200 pages?
I was afraid BuddyPress was dead, with this site being so weird. What’s the future of BP in the age of Google+?
Hi Guys,
Thanks for all your hard work. I’m having a problem getting the beta to been seen by WordPress.
If I place the current 1.2.9 buddypress plugin in my plugins folders it shows up in my inactive plugins, but if I then remove everything from my buddypress folder and replace it with the new files from trunk 1.5 beta 2 Nothing shows up.
Am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Would love to test the new system – just spent the last 2 months developing a social network on 1.2.9 that’s weeks away from going live.
Pages are only created for each of the top-level (or root) components. Specifically, Groups, Members, Blogs (if on multisite), Forums, Registration, and Activate; so only 6 pages. Third-party plugins may add more.

When’s BP 1.5 beta 3 coming out, guys? 🙂
Blimey that didn’t take long to fix the bugs. Well spotted guys, thanks for giving Beta users so many extra tweaks
I am not sure if the following is a bug (per Paul’s comment, I’m posting this here):
Prior to installing BP 1.5 Beta 1, the BP site admin menu (in the site Dashboard) was available on my site using the BP default theme and to other BP compatible themes. I am not sure if I deactivated BP 1.2.9 before installing and activating BP 1.5 Beta 1 using the Network Admin Dashboard.
Nevertheless, the BP menu is available on the Network Dashboard and not on the Site Admin Dashboard. I uninstalled and deleted both 1.2.9 and 1.5. I then re-installed 1.5 Beta 1, network activated the plugin. The BP menu showed up on the Network Dashboard. I navigated to my site admin dashboard, activated the BP default theme, and looked for the BP 1.5 Beta 1 plugin but I could not find it. I then went back to the Network Dashboard, deactivated the plugin in, then navigated back to my site’s admin dashboard, and tried to find the plugin. Still not there. Neither was the BP admin dashboard menu.
I uninstalled BP 1.5 Beta 1 and then tried with Beta 2. Same result. I deleted both versions of 1.5 and tried with BP 1.2.9. Same result. FYI: during every combination that I tried, I had deactivated all plugins before installing and activating Buddypress.
I’m stuck.
setting up web pages can be tideous , stumbled on the buddypress site. look forward to taking part in bug testing to help develop what looks like an awesome tool
Great stuff. Is there anywhere we can see a demo of 1.5?

this new 1.5 BuddyPress release ready! Good on you guys, and thank you for your fabulous work, as always.
Congratulations on your new update. When will you fix the buddypress.org site and get rid of all the scammers. My faith in your software is shaken and I’ve deleted your plugin from my sites for now.
Is this multi instance ready now? meaning can I have sub1.site.com and sub2.site.com both with their own Activity, Forums, Groups etc all running from one network wordpress install?
I have the plugin installed on the network wp install and only the root site seams to have a activity, forums, groups etc…
Can you stack pages on one another – i.e. site.com/activity/groups? I tried and it didn’t work lol. Just wondering…
Hats of to you buddypress guys!
Much appreciated work from all of you.
Well done!
Thanks so much Boone for the great presentation last night at WPNYC! I am so excited to try 1.5, however I am having difficulty installing. I install the plugin, then when I hit activate, I get an error message saying the plugin in missing a header. The plugin does not appear in my either active or inactive lists. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
@amanda, The reason you are getting that error is because the file you downloaded from the site is not ready as is to upload. It is looking for a php file in the first directory and instead is only finding another directory.
What you need to do is unzip on your local machine and either upload the buddypress folder inside that directory to your plugins folder on your server… or zip that buddy press folder and install that in the WP-ADMIN of your site like any other plugin.
What are the new features of BuddyPress 1.5? I know you said that it closes a huge number of tickets and makes changes for plugins, but it would be helpful to those who have used 1.2 to know generally what we can expect.
In particular, does BuddyPress make any privacy improvements in 1.5? I have found that it is difficult to make a private site using BuddyPress 1.2, I had to install a plugin just to block global access to content pages.
@O‘Ryan Thank you, I had the same question as @amanda.
@amanda You will need to rename the subdirectory in “tags” (1.5-beta-2) to buddypress after copying it to plugins or you’ll get an error when activating.
Also, make sure to go to the track page to do the download – you get a later version. I’m not sure if this matters, but when I downloaded above from the link “download buddypress 1.5 beta 2” I got version 4925, when I downloaded from the trac link I got 4998.
Good luck! Boone’s preso was exciting!

@david bressler
Perfect – exactly what I needed. Thank you!
I’m installing on top of 1.2.9. I got as far as going through the wizard, but then on trying the site I get Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_is_blog_page() in /home/… ../wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php on line 14 🙁
Ah, I now see that I also made a dumb mistake which is when I hit the finish screen in the wizard I though I was done, but infact i still had to hit “finish and activate” – I’m wondering if there should be some text under there giving a helpful nudge.. when I do hit that I get Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/… …/wp-content/plugins/bp-registration-options/bp-registration-options.php on line 1594
and
Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_site_admin() in /home/… …/wp-content/plugins/bp-registration-options/bp-registration-options.php on line 6
Ah well.
Happy to report that after I disabled all my plugins, install went through fine 🙂
If I can’t run the bp-registration plugin I’m going to have to go back over that bit about changing the address of the registration page as I get 2or 3 spam signups a day…
