hi,

i just installed the actual wp and bp, but none of my normally used plugins are able to be activated (fatal errors), so where do i get older versions of bp?
another platform im running is working great, i started it with older versions of bp and updated step by step by the time long after having installed the plugins…

see here for full description:

best regards

Thanks, i could have find out myself ,) great!

Understand the issue and frustration with older plugins not working with later versions of BP but it’s not great idea to use old versions of BP as so much of the release cycles is improvements and bug fixes to the core files.

[@romanriebow Participant 14 years ago]

hmm, i would absolutely agree if bp would do the entire job (in that case), but group-documents and bp-links (and some others too) are just very essential…

[@romanriebow Participant 14 years ago]

so, what i will try is to install older bp, than install the plugins and than update bp-core. that seemed to work with my old installation which is actual and has all those plugin running … hint to the devs?!

It’s not buddypress devs responsibility too update plugins.

[@gunju2221 Participant 14 years ago]

@hnla, I use a 1.2.5 of BP. only because the newest causes more problems with my situation. I have tested the latest version, and I see no major differences that I just must keep the newer version. Once they come out with 1.2.7, or so, I will check it out.

But for now, 1.2.6 is not on my list.

[@romanriebow Participant 14 years ago]

@xevo: sure its not bp devs responsability and im far away of thinking that. but it apears strange to me, that the ame plugins work perfect on a system which had been updated to the current version (1.2.6) after having the plugins already installed… so that could be a hint to the devs

[@hnla Participant 14 years ago]

So let them know sounds like something in the initial registration/initialization routines is falling over due to changes but plugins already installed and running have got past that point

[@romanriebow Participant 14 years ago]

im so ashamed to post that, but i have to: php settings on my server (path) where wrong (3.0) switched to php5 and voila everyting worked fine… sorry for all that crap

[@hnla Participant 11 years, 7 months ago]

@praveshraheja Just to let you know that I have removed that link, they’re is only one place to safely download the core BP files and that’s the official repo, please don’t post links like that again.

And that link chouf1 provided is the tag list, that is the full release history from day one.
