BuddyPress.org

If /wp-content/bpthemes/ exist, BP will try to use pre-version 1.1 themes.

If that folder doesn’t exist, it will load from /wp-content/themes/ as like normal WordPress. This is explained perfectly well in the upgrade documentation and throughout this forum.

Of course there’s a BuddyPress “API”. How do you think we write plugins and themes that rely on BuddyPress? If you are specifically talking about stuff like how WordPress can use XML-RPC for remote blog posts, then, no, there’s nothing like that at the moment. You could use the AJAX functions for quite a lot of stuff, however.

I would imagine this is a very low priority feature suggestion and such a thing would more likely be driven by someone writing some kind of external app.

Do not post duplicate threads.

Hehe, thanks for trying anyways!

I’ve put it in the mu-plugins folder with a file called remove-adminbar.php. And it seems to be working fine! Thanks a lot!

I am under the impression that the site reacts a bit slower right now, but that is just a feeling, no php error found there.

You are not following the upgrade instructions properly. There’s a document linked on the news post on the front of this site to an in-depth article, but:

1) Deactivate all of your plugins, but not BuddyPress (yet).

2) Remove any plugins out of your mu-plugins folder.

3) Change your theme back to the standard WordPress theme.

4) (Now) deactivate the BuddyPress plugin.

5) Delete BuddyPress off your server and the /wp-content/bp-themes/ directory.

6) Upload 1.1 and move the new themes into /wp-content/themes/.

7) Reactivate the BuddyPress plugin. Reactivate the BuddyPress theme.

Reactivate any other plugins you took out in step 1.

Doh! Good point. I did say untested.

You could try adding the line to your functions.php in the theme?

Thanks Simon!

That gets me a white page and this error message,

[02-Oct-2009 11:35:47] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_admin() in /(…)/wp-config.php on line 109

Something you must read before posting the forum.

That would be interesting.

You could (probably, I haven’t tested this) use the following in wp-config.php to remove the admin bar from the WP Admin area only:

if ( is_admin() ) define( 'BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR', true );

Thanks andy, is there any timeline for the bug?

Possible you have a “cookie salad” in your browser…

First, try to rename the old forum folder (before deleting it…)

Deactivate and reactivate the forum in the bp settings.

Be sure you installed the “new” forum without de old bb_config in the new location. Let the system work to make a new one.

You will see than in the bb_config that the tables of your new forum are called wp_bb_xxx

These tables are probably empty at the end of such a acrobatic update.

If it is the case, you have to copy the old bb_tables content into the new wp_bb_tables. Normally your old forum content is now showing in the new install.

And sorry for my english.

That function is provided by wpmu, not buddypress. Please post your questions on wpmu forum.

I think I might have a solution.

There is some serious confusion internally between what to do with Bpthemes. if you load Bpthemes into /wp-content/bbthemes, then there is no red dialogue Box in the themes section of buddypress. However, using other themes will break. Conversely, if you load the themes into the wp-content/themes folder, they appear in appearences->themes, and everything works! So, the issue here is theme support. There are conflicting instructions in the v1.1 release.

um…my install doesn’t have such errors. I only upgraded from 1.0.3 to 1.1 without any problems including forum setup.

I’m having the same problem. When I click the forums button in BuddyPress, I get an error 404 page. I’ve tried reinstalling. BuddyPress and the BBPress integration.

If you have deleted /wp-content/bp-themes and have activated bp-default in “Appearance > Themes” then this should not happen. If it does then there is a bug.

You are not the only one with this issue. I have reinstalled this release about 6 times. By the numbers the first three to ensure I hadn’t missed a step.

I am trouble-shooting this bloody issue and pulling my hair out. Somewhere in the directives of one of these files, it is still searching for the themes at /wp-content/bp-themes, despite the instructions stating to delete that directory and point to the new structure in this release of 1.1.

If anyone figures this out, please post it up asap. I have been trouble-shooting all day and it seems this release was not stable. Kas3, no worries. You are not alone. I am debating digging into the code tonight, but am so annoyed with this right now, I may get back to it later.

I’ll keep you posted if I resolve it.
