BuddyPress.org

Hi there, for me it’s not a fatal error but I’m not able to enter my dashbord. Since I upgrade BuddyPress, when I login as admin I only see a white blank page. I can’t do anything.

As the website is working I invite myself to be able to register. This process worked well but when I tried to access the new user dashboard it was not possible.

Please I seriously need your help. http://www.idrumit.net (fortunately the website is not launched but I was about to do it the next couple of weeks).

Interesting. Thanks for the heads-up.

In your example, what are the buddypress and the community paths? Are these separate sites on a multisite site?

@shawn38 –

If no one comes back with an example, and you need to hire a developer to help write the code, you can try on the Jobs board on this site.

This will tell you about hook and action programming in WordPress: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API

The do_action() calls are there for you to add your own hook functions, and in some cases will also invoke hook functions that BuddyPress / Themes / other plugins have added.

You can add your own hook function that is called when the do_action ‘bp_before_registration_confirmed’ is invoked. You use add_action to add your actions.

Hi All! I was having the same Fatal Error message and wasn’t able to access admin. But then just a few mins ago I upgraded buddypress successfully to 1.6!! Yippee!

What I did: Took a backup, DEACTIVATED all active plugins, then I Activated buddypress plugin only, Upgraded it, Voila I saw the update wizard, went through the steps, Reactivated all Recently Active Plugins, and Buddypress 1.6 is working nicely – Piece of Cake!!

Well, @presence-films,

I found your posts actually helpful. It made me really look at how I am setting up buddypress and it also makes me mindful of being careful and backing everything up before I begin any update process..

There is nothing wrong with reminding people how important it is to carefully consider updates and making sure everything is backed up, and there is nothing wrong with suggesting that there can be major frustrations with buddypress.

I think that particular piece of information should be useful to the people who are coding the plugin and probably be taken to heart a little more, rather than telling people who have major issues (on occasion… lol) their comments aren’t helpful here.

Having said that, I installed 1.6 on a new site I am building and I haven’t had any major issues. It’s looking nice and it is working nicely. Nice job (don’t hold it against me if my point of view changes a little from time to time)…

@q5sys
1. Install bbPress plugin (sitewide forums)
2. There is a phpbb3 converter Read https://bbpress.org/forums/topic-tag/phpbb3/
2. Have conversion done.
3. Double-check/test that conversion to bbPress is seamless
4. Install BuddyPress.
5. Read https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

Also know that Group Forums (custom bbPress 1.0) will be merged/switched over to bbPress plugin 2+ (sitewide forums) come BP 1.7 or so.
