Thanks for your efforts!

We use a cmmercial theme (i.e. paid for) called DynamIX version 3.1.2 by themeva
http://themeforest.net/item/dynamix-business-corporate-wordpress-theme/113901

We do not really have that kind of background, skills, or resources to run test sites with default and other themes, and test all plug-ins against every change (I estimate we use about 50 plugins – we make sure that they are compliant with the latest WP versions, and are popular, i.e. proven on many thousands of sites).

A test site seems like a major pain in the butt, but given today’s events, may not be such a bad choice. We had expected there was more communication between developers, since WordPress and Buddypress are usied in such a HUGE number of sites – yet fairly simple updates break major stuff across many sites. So there may not be much of a choice of running a separate test site, or simply wait several weeks after new releases until the bugs are worked out – we do run another commercial security package, which may not make this too bad of a choice.

We got burned on EVERY BuddyPress update this is just by far the worst one so far. Sadly … since the software allows us to run a popular site.

Please test it with BP 2.2 – it takes one second!
The problem is with Buddypress – it does not pickup gallery thumbnails in activity stream or comments made on images in the activity stream. Its not their problem – they say. So I was wondering if anyone has used it and found alternative ways or has already made a default theme for BP out of it.

This is definitely strange @r-a-y. If I revert back all works as it should. I’ve debugged a bunch of the functions and they seem to be returning the proper values. It seems that ‘post_update’ action in buddypress.js is not receiving a response though. e.g.

jq.post( ajaxurl, {
	action: 'post_update',
	'cookie': bp_get_cookies(),
	'_wpnonce_post_update': jq('#_wpnonce_post_update').val(),
	'content': content,
	'object': object,
	'item_id': item_id,
	'since': last_date_recorded,
	'_bp_as_nonce': jq('#_bp_as_nonce').val() || ''
},
function(response) {
    (removed for sake of shorting the reply here)
}

Any guesses as to why not? When debugging Akismet I was able to get a 200 response back no problem.

It could be from the X2 theme, but it was under WordPress -> Settings -> BuddyPress -> Pages, so I assumed it was BuddyPress.

If that’s the case, I need to find a good BuddyPress-powered theme that would work for my music site until I can afford a custom one. Any suggestions?

Neither of these plugins have been updated in over 2 years (according to w/p plugin directory), and I’m currently testing the BuddyPress Registration Groups plugin, but again it hasn’t been updated in ages, and although it works well, it has some styling issues that aren’t being addressed as yet.

So… I was looking how to do this myself with the code – the function code you gave above, which php file should I add it into? And does this code mean that all new members would be automatically added to all groups?

Thanks for your help with this – much appreciated.

Thanks @r-a-y !

I think I’m going to leave all as is for a while. Having the activity stream as a secondary page solves a few other problems as well.

I can’t find where to edit the size of the images in the Members widget. I looked in the theme CSS, BuddyPress CSS and Members-Widget.php and the theme functions to no avail. I’m just going to leave it.

Thanks!

OH, WAIT A MINUTE … I see what it does.

I have my site set with a static front page, which is the Activity Stream page, and the blog posts are reached via the navigation bar.

Prior to upgrading the BuddyPress plugin to 2.2.0, my front page was the Activity page AND I had six Featured Posts/stickies just under the header. (This is the way I want it to act).

After upgrading the BuddyPress plugin to 2.2.0, if the front page is the Activity page, then the Featured Posts/stickies go missing, so only the Activity Stream shows up underneath the header. But if I make the Activity Stream a secondary page and put the blog posts back out front, then the Featured Posts/stickies are under the header. Not quite what I want.

I’m tentatively saying that it may have been Google Analytics … I deactivated Google Analytics and reactivated BuddyPress and it seems to be working.

I found that last night right before I fell asleep and am just now getting online for the day – I will experiment a little with the plugin to see if I can figure it out.

1. Yes, I did do the bulk plugin update and one of them was Contact Form 7 and the other was Google Analytics. But deactivating Buddypress was the only one that brought the Featured Posts back as they should be – I had the Activity Stream on my front page but switched it out last night since it ended up being blank (because of the deactivation).

2. I have six sticky/Featured Posts – the posts themselves did not disappear, just the six stickies that sat just below the header.

3. I had a post go a tiny bit viral yesterday so instead of mucking with it, I just deactivated the BuddyPress plugins that I have installed.

4. The URL is artist-at-large.com As I work on this today, things will appear and disappear.

5. I’ve never had problems before with the bulk updater.

6. The spacing on the widget that gives a list of members is also spaced all zig-zaggy. I usually keep that in the footer.

We did put “NSFW” in front of every link to potentially irritating content, after the very first of our posts (problem with links) was changed today to include the reference.

Post to admin screen shots etc were not tagged with “NSFW” as they only show the admin interface (and the BuddyPress problems)

We have great respect for peopls work lifes 🙂

Hello,

and thank you for the response.

Of course we do not know how this all works with the development; but of course one would think since BuddyPress thrives on all the other plug-in developers for it, it would make some kind of an effort to communicate important changes, instead of just doing it, and saying “well if you guys don’t check our blog for changes…”?

This upgrade broke so many things, and so severely that we cannot even load the admin interfaces for both the chat and the messenger in the WP dashboard:

From the Plugin Page:

These are the (Commercial) plugins – meaning we pay for both, several hundred $ per year:

Messenger:

We also informed the vendor in Hongkong about it (by email, since we could not submit a support ticket through the admin interface…):

We certainly appreciate every bit of help we can get!
