r-a-y this worked great, thanks.

The only things I see are (1) that it seems to insist on using the name of the community in the header instead of the name of the blog – all other custom header items are respected, and (2) is loses the avatar of the poster.

Thanks again.

I had this happen when I upgraded from 1.0.1 and was trying to get the groups to behave. I noticed that any new group I made seemed fine, so I deleted all the groups that were left over from pre-upgrade. Things seem to be fine now, but you lose all group activity if you start over. FWIW.

Replaced the BP folder I’d upgraded from 1.0.1 to 1.1.3 to 1.2.1 with the forums folder from a fresh 1.2.1 install and all seems well now.

I replaced the entire bp-forums folder from the package I upgraded with the bp-forums folder from a fresh 1.2.1 install and it fixed the problem. Folders were very different.

I’m having similar problems – when I post I get the red bar that says “”There was an error creating this topic”

Do you get an error or just the redirect?

When you send an internal message, the user will be sent an email notifying them of the message (unless they have it disabled). I’m curious about mass mailing this way, even if the user has to log in get the message.

As an admin you have a checkbox for “this is a message to all users” – I was going to try that.

What happens with you try to post? I get “There was an error creating this topic”

I was running a cpanel – one host bundled up the entire thing, the other host took the bundle and installed it. Instant site, thought there are some latent “ownership” issues we’re running down.

r-a-y, I just confirmed with my programmer that the upgrade path was indeed 1.0.1 — 1.1.3 — 1.2.1

I created my theme in a dummy installation of WPMU and BP from scratch, based on the 1.2 default theme. Once the main installation had been upgraded, I moved the new theme over and activated it. I don’t know why this would be a theme issue (???)

[photodesign]

I left the actual upgrading to my programmer, but those were the exact instructions I provided. I don’t know for sure if that was done. Would this problem be related to the process?

This happened to me – so I looked at themes, and it said “The active theme is broken, reverting to default theme”, which is the default WPMU theme. Once I switched to the new BP default theme, the home page came back.

Hope this works for you.

Thanks for the info.

With the tweaks I have in place (a few core changes even), I’m thinking of setting up a second install of WPMU and BP and a separate database, just to test our modifications on the latest versions, just so there are no nasty surprises and the site won’t be offline longer than need be. I may keep this running in parallel, testing the new upgrades, making changes, them moving it over. See any problems with something like this?

Thanks so much.

I’m using the object-cache.php file from Donncha as the only caching that I’ve installed. This seems to be the much of the space – If I drop these, will performace be slower, or will data be lost? Would you suggest the wp-super-cache instead?

I don’t have many blogs – one, basically, (the main BP blog, but it has 10,000 posts, but they’re not really posts, long story). It’s a complicated integration where I’m using BP for the community side of a larger site with 123,000 members migrated into WPMU/BP.

There isn’t much spam do deal with, thankfully.

Thanks again for the info.

Hi All, I’ve read this entire thread, and some people seem to have similar problems, but I never heard of the solution…

I’ve checked and double checked, and it’s so close, but I can’t quite get there:

At this point, I thought I had everything working, but if a user tries to post, the Red Error Bar shows up and nothing gets posted. As the admin user, all post are working perfectly. If I remove the line in the bb-cofig file ($bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;), all users can post and create topics, but the author of all posts is “admin”

Am I as close as I think? I’ve given up on this, but I thought I’d throw out this last post.

Thanks.
