Hmm I’ll try disabling the Page Cache and then putting DB cache back on to see if it’s the combination. It didn’t really act up until I installed the DB cache but the site seems to be getting slow from what looks like the images being uploaded by the users or a post versus the images from the site itself or code.

I’ll also check out w3total cache as well – will post with results. Thanks!

A related issue is how forum post links show up elsewhere. For example, we have a private group on facebook and I am directing them to the various forum topics that I am creating. All of the links show up as TAFA Forum Group. It gets really confusing if you post a lot of them. I would think this also has to do with how the permalinks and feeds show up. I don’t know if this is a buddypress or bbpress issue, but I hope it’s addressed in future updates. Social media is a part of our world now and buddypress needs to be able to function just as wordpress does if content can have viral potential.

Maybe I’m just confused by the naming:

I know I can do this by creating my own class named BP_Legacy in my theme and customising, but this doesn’t seem a correct approach.

Is the BP_Legacy class supposed to behave like a pluggable function? i.e. you are expected to redeclare the class with the same name?

—

On a separate but related matter — if I want to create a completely bespoke theme (not theme compat), how do I stop an instance of BP_Legacy being created and registering its actions?

I’ve tried declaring add_theme_support(‘buddypress’) hooked on to ‘after_setup_theme’, but that doesn’t stop an instance of BP_Legacy being constructed and registering its actions.

Looking at the BP_Theme_Compat constructor, it would appear that add_theme_support(‘buddypress’) should stop it — does it need to be hooked on to something earlier than ‘after_setup_theme’?

Hi Rachel,

Thanks! It wasn’t the Hyper Cache but it looks like my database caching plugin (DB Cache Reloaded Fix) was the issue, the moment I disabled that, the “join” button was gone on his account and the text editor re-appeared for him to post on his group. I don’t understand why that would happen though for this one member due to database caching? Does this mean that buddypress doesn’t behave well with db caching plugins in general or I just need to adjust my settings somehow?

Thank you Hugo!

I will take a look.
