You ought to be able to upgrade from recent 1.2.x versions up to 1.6.x without problem. Probably counts as a bug if it’s not possible. As some others have said, it’s normally theme or plugin compatibility that you have to watch out for. If you’ve got a staging or test environment, try on there and see what happens

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

Group forums or sitewide forum?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

I would recommend strongly against this. There are security vulnerabilities present in BP versions earlier than 1.5.7. I’d also recommend getting to BP 1.6.x because it’s just a great release, but if you want to stay on the 1.5 branch for now, please use the latest 1.5.

This thread is turning hostile fast, and the misleading and attention-grabbing title is going to give people new to BuddyPress, or those visiting our site for the first time, a bad impression of the project. BuddyPress is, in fact, stronger now than it ever has been in every aspect.

These forums are intended to be used for support with BuddyPress, announcements, or for sharing sites that you’ve built with the rest of the community. The plugin groups and forums provide similar facilities for BuddyPress plugin authors. FIQ, they aren’t meant to be used as a soapbox when you have a dissenting view on something, and are trying to gain support for that position. There’s nothing wrong with having a contrary view, but you are going about discussing things in a hostile and unconstructive manner.

As best as I can tell, this all started from a discussion about the wireframe ideas for the upcoming template compatibility layer. I’m super sad that the argument has now spanned three? forum topics, and that most of them have had to be closed. It’s harming constructive discussion on the wireframes, as well as using everyone’s energy.

I suggest that if you want to continue discussing your concerns, why not write a blog post about it? That’s the perfect place for this to happen, and if a constructive idea or suggestion comes from the discussion on it, then you can start a new discussion on these forums about that idea.

If you want to discuss this moderation further, please email me at paul@buddypress DOT org

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

Closing this thread because you two are beginning to attack each other, and because of FIQ’s other forum topic.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

Closing thread. Sorry, Karmatosed – please create a new topic for further discussion.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

It’s not possible.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

@FIQ Please stop trying to take these discussions off-topic. I don’t understand where you’er getting your views from; karmatosed and Hugo have been quite accurate.

If you think it’s a problem, please create an enhancement ticket on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/, using your username and password that you used to log into this site, explaining why you think the behaviour should be changed, and we’ll take a look at it.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

I’ve never heard of anything like this, either. Very odd.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

It’s very unlikely anyone in the core team has time to jump on this ticket, this weekend. There are many hundreds/thousands of open tickets, and this doesn’t seem to be critical. One thing that would help the ticket if you could verify what happens when you do this in BP 1.5.7.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

Not familiar with maxmind. What is it?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

What type of content are you wanting to add Tags and Titles to? Can you explain which screen you’re on, and what you’re trying to do? Thanks.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

No, not seen any.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

Those aren’t stored in user meta. Look at the bp_xprofile_ tables.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

We had a problem with the object caching; it was a general technical issue and not specific to any of the apps running.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

Maybe it does then.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

It should work out of the box in the activity component, but not in the group forums.

peachy900757: what exact user names were your friends (who couldn’t register) trying to sign up with?

This thread is basically a duplicate of https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/registration-error-2/ I’m sorry to cut off the discussion, but I’m going to close this topic. Please carry on at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/registration-error-2/

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

Thanks!
