BuddyPress.org

I’m not sure if the Invite anyone plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/) has been updated yet to work with BuddyPress 1.6. If it’s not then until it has it wouldn’t be recommended to use with 1.6.

Hey ray,

Thanks for the post, unfortunately, I already did the upgrade this morning and didnt check the box for the toolbar. How do i bring back the wizard so i can check the do not change toolbar box? i tried to delete buddypress and reinstall it but it didnt bring the wizard back.

I haven’t updated because I use so many custom bits. But seeing as how so many things changed, I have to ask… why?

Didn’t 1.5 make significant changes to custom BuddyPress usernames, only to remove it in 1.6 to use the default WordPress naming scheme? So this means we’re back to lowercase names?

I can understand making changes to previously broken code, but when other thing aren’t broken, why fix them?

Yes, it’s possible.

Add the following code snippet in your /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:

`add_filter( ‘bp_use_wp_admin_bar’, ‘__return_true’ );`

@mr_zog – There hasn’t been any significant changes to the bp-default theme since 1.5.7. What version of BP 1.5 were you using before?

Looks like you have narrowed this down to a child theme issue. Unfortunately, it’s hard to debug what’s happening. Are you using the “bp_is_current_component()” function in anyway? Did you disable the Extended Profiles component?

Try to pinpoint what pages this error shows up on and then figure out which custom template file is causing the problem.

@Roger Coathup thanks for pointing out that filter. I’ll check it out and see how it all fits together.

I’m not sure how your site is supposed to look or function, but I am able to access your BuddyPress pages:

About the double line at the top, try disabling the WP Toolbar with the code snippet listed here:

Upgrading to 1.6

Just wanted to add my two-pennies worth to this discussion – I had the error posting topic message and the “forum not enabled in this group” message too. I had already enabled forums and previously posted. Somewhere along the line though, I hadn’t realised – perhaps it was during migration to subdomain, that bb-config hadn’t been updated, but when I updated the bb-config in the root folder to match the details in the wp-config, it suddenly worked perfectly again, so double check your bb-config files!

No problem, there are a number of great getting started guides https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/ – also a great day to get BuddyPress as it’s just had a new version released today

Can you make sure that your BuddyPress pages are setup properly?

Login to the WP admin dashboard and navigate to “Settings > BuddyPress“. Then, click on “Pages“:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#bp-pages

Yes, so do I. Following the instruction from Internet, I have been tried so many times to modify the file ” httpd.conf ” on Apache server. But failed. I was also try to creat .htaccess file but the computer display to me that can not with “.”,because this type of file name only for system.
Who could be help me to install the buddypress? Or give me solution details?
My server: Mac OS X Server(mountain lion)+apache2.2+php5.3 with WordPress 3.4.1+buddypress 1.6+frisco theme.

Did you upgrade properly?

Upgrading to 1.6

Hi David, just to check can you provide a bit more information about your site? For instance what theme are you using and / or plugins? Have you checked they are all updated for BuddyPress 1.6? Or are you using a custom theme and have you updated that (if that is the case) for 1.6?

Update coming up soon -> Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

Hi Shemada, just as a check have you updated the Mingle theme to it’s 1.6 version? I see that they have released a version for BuddyPress 1.6 so wanted to check you are using it?

If you are – can you also confirm you have updated any plugins you are using along with BuddyPress?

If you want to change text you can fairly easily using this method outlined in the codex: https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

@sobuddy, have you updated your themes and plugin / plugins you are using to make sure they are compatible with BuddyPress 1.6?

The only cases where themes for BuddyPress wouldn’t need to have BuddyPress would be if they have a check in them and say they work without BuddyPress. If you want the ‘BuddyPress functionality’ then yes you have to install BuddyPress. It sounds like you do if you say forums/members/groups.

Just as a ‘sanity check’ have you resaved your pages / relinked them up under settings > BuddyPress?

I’d also suggest you check that you’ve updated your plugins and themes to versions for BuddyPress 1.6 – or if a custom theme checked you’ve got all the correct changes in it.

It’s hard to say what has gone on exactly but lets take a look at some common things that can go wrong in upgrades.

When you say ‘not showing’ do you mean you see a white screen?

The first would be have you updated your theme and plugins (if using any)? You should always make sure both your theme and the plugins you use are updated to the version of BuddyPress – many will be issuing updated versions.

Assuming that is not your issue then do you have access to your server error logs? Can you see anything in those which may shed some light? If you do link them here please use gist (https://gist.github.com/) or something don’t add them all to this thread.
