They’ve now come back and want me to update it to the current version.

The site is currently running BP 1.7.2 on Wordpress 3.5.1. I know this isn’t going to be painless — I know things will break. And I’ve been working with WP for years, so I’ve gone through the upgrade to white screen…[Read more]
