Curious why wp is using jQuery 1.6.1 vs. 1.6.2 esp considering some of the bugs that were fixed.
This ticket alone was considered ‘serious’ and drove me absolutely nuts until upgrading:
http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/9300

please, create some topic like “wp 3.2 bp 1.2.9″, so that people could see all the possible issues in one place. Users start to create new topics for every noted problem and it is quite hard to follow.

or use this topic instead https://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/a-quick-note-about-wordpress-3-2/

Seems like the reply panel opens and closes immediately! Tried with chrome and firefox… same result
any ideas?

Is that related to BP? Have you disabled BP and tested without it?

Help!
WP 3.2 + BP 1.2.9
and last Google Chrome
and repeated at 2 analog sites (WP 3.2 and BP 1.2.8 or 1.2.9).

I try add new post, add an Image… and fail!
1. Try click “Add an Image”, load froma PC, Other Sites or Media Library
2. Click “Show” – and nothing…
After all actions blocked. While not reload the page.

Bril & thanks.

The link 4ella gave for the front-end post form at BuddyDev is in a premium forum, you need to be a subscriber to the site to gain access. I am a member (so is 4ella) and can attest that the plugins, themes, code snippets and help that the site owner provides is nothing less than extraordinary. The front-end post form that he is working on should allow posting to the main blog, the user’s own blog(s), as well as groups the user is a member of. It should also support custom post types/taxonomies. A beta of the plugin should be released within the next few days.

You could also check out Quick Post Widget which supports custom taxonomies. The latest version is shortcode enabled so you can add the post form in any post/page.

Holy crap! I fixed it myself! In case anybody wants to know, I found the buddypress-trac pages and did this:

replaced: parent::WPDB( $dbuser, $dbpassword, $dbname, $dbhost );
with: parent::__construct( $dbuser, $dbpassword, $dbname, $dbhost );

I can at least get into the admin now. We’ll see what else is messed up now.

Help! I updated to 3.2 before I read about the 1.2.9 update. So, I’m getting the bp-forum error. Of course, I can’t go in and update that now. I tried clearing cache. Tried it in Firefox and Safari and same error in both. I’m using W3 Total Cache and speedymirrors so I imagine things are cached there, too. How can I clear it when I can’t get to the admin?

Hang on. I think I led you a bit astray with Buddypress Links. It does what you want, yes, but it creates links to already existing web pages/sites/videos/images/etc. You are however limited to only one display image, but it fetches all available images automatically and gives you the choice of which to use as the avatar. You can see an example of it working here: http://buddylite.com/links/

Creating a custom post type would link back to the author’s BP profile, just like any blog post. Basic CSS rules could then be added to your theme’s style.css to display the entries in a directory-like fashion on an archive page.

Another solution altogether could be to simply add a front-end post form like Quick-Post-Widget that allows posting only to a category you create specifically for this purpose (Businesses). Then create a menu item linking to that category archive in WP custom menus. Your theme’s archive.php template can be customized to display posts in that category in any directory-like fashion you prefer (grid, list, etc.). Finally, a category-specific search plugin could be used in your theme allowing users to specify the “Businesses” category you created.

Browser probably cached it, yeah. We have some cache-busting built into BuddyPress 1.3, so future versions won’t have this problem.

@valuser – The migration to 1.3 will be just as easy, but we are making a few under-the-hood changes that still need to be tested for backwards compatibility.

I just tested BuddyPress 1.2.9 on WordPress 3.1 and WordPress 3.2 and everything was perfect.

* OS
* Browser(s)
* WP Version
* Try clearing cache?

will the update from 1.29 to 1.3 be as smooth as this one (from 1.28 to 1.29) ?

WordPress 3.2 is out. So we are waiting for BP 1.2.9

TastyKitchen is a highly customized site but you can achieve very satisfactory results for your business directory idea with the Buddypress Links plugin:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-links/

Or you could dig in and learn about custom post types:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types
There’s also a pretty good plugin for creating custom post types. I’ve played with it (not extensively, mind you) and it works well:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/

oops sorry forgot to write down my email…im going to test it now and following my feedbacks and/or suggestions.. (Y)

edit: quickly tested it out, it’s a great addon. My first suggestions are:
1- i hate popups, an embedded version maybe in a wordpress page would be great
2- in the profile, the picture is a little bit to the bottom, in my opinion it could go a little up.
3- it woud be great if from facebook could grab email and locations too.

Note: Unless a developer takes over this plugin, it won’t be updated for BP 1.3

http://bp-tricks.com/coding/manage-group-creation-by-creating-a-group-request-form/
Note: Haven’t tried it myself but looks good.

If you’ve created a child theme of bp-default, you could disable the custom header function by adding the following to your theme’s functions.php
`define( ‘BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER’, true );`

From that point on, you could search for a plugin which does what you need
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-display-header/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cimy-header-image-rotator/
or something like the above
