BuddyPress.org

Thanks @vapvarun. I checked out that link and started to follow the instructions for migrating. But then I found that I am already using bbPress 2.5.14. So it seems I am not using the old bbPress.

Also, when I get to step 3:

[code]
(3) Remove “Forums” page from BuddyPress
In the the WP admin dashboard navigate to “Settings > BuddyPress“. Click on the “Pages” tab.
Under “Discussion Forums“, select “None” and save.
[/code]

There is no such “Discussion Forums” section.

So I think there must be some other problem.

Is this a bug? I’ve been trying to figure this out for days. Why does my custom member directory revert to the default when I sort it??? I load it, it works fine and outputs the filtered users. I sort it by Alphabetical order (for example) and it gives me all users again. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?

Thank you for the suggestion. I deactivated the XProfile plugin first and ran the backup job – still had the error, so I deactivated the BuddyPress plugin and ran the backup job again. I still have the error. I guess I’m going to have to look into this further.

One thing I did notice when I deactivated the XProfile plugin, I retained all my current extra fields. The only one I had a problem with is birthdate. It used to show age, not birthdate. Perhaps there is a plugin that will deal with just this issue. I’ll have to look around.

Thank you again for all your excellent help. I really appreciate it!!!!

Is anyone likely to update BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Fields?
