BuddyPress.org

@baskers @msdoble Glad your issues are resolved. Thanks for posting back. As far as I can recall, WordPress works in folders with lowercase names.

Marking this topic as resolved.

The solution was so simple. Just use good old fashioned manual FTP upgrading methods.

Notes:
1. Deactivating BuddyPress caused a 500 Error and I had to use phpMyAdmin and add the active_plugins db entry back for BuddyPress to bring the site back up.
2. Doing a WP Dashboard upgrade caused a 500 Error.

Successful BuddyPress Upgrade steps:
1. FTP to site and rename the /buddypress folder
2. Upload the new /buddypress folder.
For good measure I resaved all BuddyPress settings just to ensure that everything was actually good to go and no problems. Yeah!

Based on that it’s hard to know what’s wrong, did you read / follow that link I gave you. Show us what paths your copied files are in:

/my-theme/
page.php
index.php etc
/my-theme/buddypress/members/index.php

These files need to be copied over from the /bp-template/bp-legeacy/buddypress/ directory not simply copies of the files you had before with mods in but I’ve mentioned that earlier.

Adding a link to your site might help if you have it online.

@fatjay What exactly is not “working”? I can see BuddyPress pages rendered in your site. Looks like only minor CSS tweaks required.

Hi all,

well i use a plugin called Multisite Plugin Manager to control what plugins people can see or not.

posting at the same time 😛 i just double checked we have it set up exactly the way you say it shouldn’t work at gotgame dot com buddypress network activated, bbpress only activated on the root site.

i think what you would want to do is not network activate bbpress, could have sworn you can do that.

eddit: yeah i just double checked we have it set up exactly the way you say it should n’t work at gotgame dot com buddypress network activated, bbpress only activated on the root site.

I actually think this should be a core feature ans simple on/off setting in BP.

however there is a plugin to do that, which i havent tested https://github.com/bphelp/private_community_for_bp

@Baskers Yes, that’s incredible, this has also fixed the same issue I was having. I’d never have thought the directory name would be a factor. Glad you’re all sorted!

@mercime thank you very much for the insight.

Hey Joss!

You might be interested in the Pro-Sites plugin, if you don’t already use that in your network.
Via that plugin, you can set the bbPress plugin to nobody which disables it throughout the network except for you as super admin to activate/deactivate.
