all three questions (a) – (c) simply related to the same issue @mercime.
I got a warning so do I really need to update the forums anyway? So what if I don’t? My question about being concerned was not to get feedback from my Sys Admin (which I am the S.A. for the site and server). WP warned me — so do I need to be concerned? The warning was cryptic with respect to WordPress/BuddyPress, not the server.
An my manual update question was this — if the automated WP routine can’t update the forums, is there a manual workaround.
