BuddyPress.org

Upgraded from 1.6.5 and everything seems to have worked perfectly. Thanks, great job!

Has anyone had an issue upgrading? I have tried updating my development environment twice and the end result is I get a blank white page no matter what page I try to go to.

You can submit your bug report here. This way the developers will catch sight of it.

@hallsy, here are some possible solutions. Please let me know if either of these work for you:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/issues-getting-buddypress-working/

Were either of these solutions similar to what you did, @watercolourz?

Why not just use a language file to change the name of the edit link?

Thanks for all the help everyone.

James, are you now able to see the “Forum Setup” tab in Settings > BuddyPress? Was this part of the server problem or was it an issue with not having bbPress enabled?

You primarily had a permalinks issue (not sure to whom I’m addressing that remark though) when you see ‘index.php’ in the url it tends to indicate a almost pretty permalinks setup found with windows or iirc Zues server, check the WP codex for further information, BP does require permalinks are in operation.

Great to hear!! Could you give me details please so I can try something similar?

I was going to suggest it might be a server problem.

Give it a go and let me know what happens! Cheers.

Thanks for your help, bphelp. I noticed that I don’t have the “Forum Setup” tab in Settings > BP (only Components, Pages, and Settings).

I’ve got tons of 404 errors as well, especially when I try to access any of the links under the main page menu (under “Howdy, <user>!” – Activity, Groups, Settings, Profile, and Forums are all dead ends). James, does yours look the same?

Yes, I’m having the exact same problem. Seems like we’re not the only ones. Here’s a possible solution?

I don’t have access to the server side of things for my site (grr) so please let me know if that manages to work for you James. I don’t see why that should still be an issue if you switch back to the BP Default theme, but give it a shot.

The improvement keeps on going further and further. I really appreciate the works you guys have out in. Long Live Buddypress and WordPress.

Buddypress Team, you guys rocks. I love you all, thanks for the good work!

I help with support but I am just a volunteer like most other folks. I am not a moderator at all. I just pay it forward for all the folks that helped me in the past. There is no guarantee anyone can fix everything but there is a lot of us that is good at fixing some things. So don’t isolate your issue by requesting help from any single individual. I just checked your site and the pages are blank as you stated. Have you created a custom menu yet to associate those pages with the navigation?

Create a user with the username: demo and password: demo. Not to be rude but there is many people here that can help you and I don’t want the total responsibility of helping your issue because there is still things I have yet to learn so please don’t request help from just one individual.
