Hello, I just upgrade to latest BP 1.7 from 1.6
I notice, that some of old component still intact after I convert it
for example in BP setting under the page , I still have Discussion forums component and search page component, how to delete it?
Im using bbpress for BP 1.6 (using automatically install under BP setting), and after upgrade to 1.7 , I assume, I need to install bbpress separately, is it correct? If it is indeed true, how to delete the old bbpress? right now I just install bbpress 2.x and now have 2 forum installed.

regards,

ahhhh, thanx, I miss that page

btw, on this article

4) Disable BuddyPress’ Forums Component

In the WP admin dashboard, navigate to “Settings > BuddyPress“. Click on the “Components” tab.
Uncheck “Discussion Forums” and save.

I didnt find “discussion Forums” , instead in my installation, there is “Group Forums (Legacy)”
is it the same?

thanx for the explanation

Search page? There is no Search component. Is that a plugin you installed to add a search component?

Double check. This only happens if a BuddyPress component is added. A theme can add components.

So many problems with that theme. >.< They probably added a component via the theme and it's outdated code.

Themes that were made before 1.7 may have issues as most are a derivative of the bp-default theme. Especially if they include a lot of custom template files and code.
