Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_activity_install() (previously declared in /home/garysmit/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity.php:19) in /home/garysmit/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity.php on line 52

same here…but I took the time to deactivate BP first and all (I don’t have many) plugins too. I deactivated them all. Then I hit upgrade automatically. Got the above error.

Ideas?

the problem seems to be because of multibyte character set(As far as the error is showing).

here is a similar problem reported for forum and Andy suggested to upgrade to php5.

Hope it helps

hi Donnacha

I tried the trunk version on revision 2163.

If you are logged in as site admin,the buddypress will be listed in your plugins,if you are logged in as normal admin,It will not be listed in your plugins.

Hope it helps.

DJPaul offers good advice… A similar issue was raised and confirmed here:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1265

This issue was resolved (in my case) by upgrading to the version 1.1.3 (just came out). See release history:

https://buddypress.org/about/release-history/#1.1.3

If you still have an issue, try disabling Buddypress and try to reproduce the problem. If the issue is still there without Buddypress, search in the MU forums.

Yeah.. Its possible.. BPDEV use to have a plugin but I think its broken on BP.1.1.2 — I messaged Nicola (the lead evil-genius behind it) and he says that it should be good to go on the release of BP1.2 (currently BP is on BP.1.1.3) — he’ll be working on it on Christmas!

I believe those themes do not work with the latest buddypress.

i’m already a BP consultant, if that can give a hint.. lol

I have no idea what odesk is, but I’m planning to attempt to become a BuddyPress “consultant” in the New Year. Count me in.

I’d like to get a page up for BuddyPress consultants. Perhaps I will start a thread and see if we can get at least a few people posting in there who offer BuddyPress consultancy work. That way there’s at least a list that can be used for the page once it’s up.

This is a great idea, I use oDesk quite a bit and havnt been able to find any Buddypress developers on there so far, I’m not sure how you go about setting up a group.

Yup. Deactivate. Update. Activate. The problem occurs when you don’t do that. I made that mistake myself. I took the “sledgehammer” approach. Went into the DB and deleted the value for “active_sitewide_plugins”. Worked for me.

The problems are all related to this bug:

https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/ticket/1147

ok,here are my thoughts and I will like to go into more details,so would love to hear from everyone of you who has / or is facing this issue.

1.De activate buddypress/buddypress dependent plugin

2.Upgrade buddypress

3.activate it sitewide .

I hope,if you de activated it before upgrading,activation will not generate error,as I have tried on 3 different installs,and I believe the root cause of the error is the sitewide activated plugin upgrade mechanism.

So,It will help everyone ,if the people who go through this ,post their experiences here.May be it can help in investigating further the causes.

There’s always the sledgehammer approach… go into the database in delete the value for the key “active_sitewide_plugins” in the “wp_sitemeta” table.

You are using outdated versions of both WPMU and BuddyPress. I urge you to upgrade.

I also had the same problem last night on a fresh svn check out of https://svn.buddypress.org/branches/1.1/

I just updated to newly released 1.1.3 and now the correct activation link is sent.

this is not a problem.

Please remove/delete the older one (you had renamed) and go again to plugins.activate the new one.

btw ,there will be a small information saying buddypress v 1.1.3 on the plugins page,you may look for that

Edit:This is my reply for your previous post about redundancy,I just found your new post too.

is buddypress 1.1.3 or any prior version is in mu-plugins dir.

It will be better ,if you can post the complete error.

like unable to declare in /home/myaccount/whatever/wp-content/plugin/bp-activity style.

Well,I had seen this issue so many times,so I experimented.

If your plugin is activated sitewide(which is almost true in case of buddypress) ,It is going to give you at least one such error(try with other sitewide activated plugins by upgrading them).

So this is not an issue with the buddypress but the problem is with the updating/activation of site wide activated plugins in wpmu as far as I see.

Easy work around(if you don’t want to see this problem)

1.Login to dashboard

2.deactivate buddypress

3.upgrade buddypress

4.Activate again

You will never find this problem again.

Get the same and my “workaround” are (because i get a white-screen on /wp-admin):

– rename buddypress-folder under /plugins

– login on wp-admin

– go to “Plugins” and the buddypress-plugin deactivated automatic

– rename buddypress-folder under /plugins to the old one

– activate the plugin

And all works fine now.

Maybe it helps.

Greetings. M

So you’re considering forking BuddyPress?
