Users with Arras theme and Buddypress will come across errors while upgrading to wordpress 3.2
Before you Upgrade Anything, go into your `wp-content/themes/arras/library/widgets.php` and change the following code in the file:
`$this->WP_Widget_Tag_Cloud();`
to:
`parent::__construct();`
This will fix an error after you upgrade. Now, after you do that, if you go on your site, you will most likely see this:
`Fatal error: Call to undefined method wpdb::WPDB() in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress.php on line 144`
Relax, now go to your file directory, and rename the plugin “buddypress” to “buddypress1”, and do the same for any plugins that require buddypress to work ( bp-album, bp-links, etc. )
Now, you should be able to go into your dashboard, and upgrade buddypress. This will fix the WPDB() error.
After that, go and rename all of the plugins back to their original, and activate in your dashboard.
You should be set after this, good luck!
Is there a plugin to allow for uppercase letters in usernames? Also, I assumed that all current WordPress users would be able to just login using their WP usernames and passwords – but is that not the case?
I’m running a different theme to bp-default and platformpro and I am getting the same problems with primary/secondary menu drop-downs. What is the fix likely to be?
I noticed the following on my site which is upgrade to wordpress 3.2, buddypress 1.2.9 and using the Platformpro template from pagelines.
When you have the buddypress plugin enabled either 1.2.8 or 1.2.9 the following happens
– The menu drop downs do not work as they do not display
– In the dashboard the arrows that control the plugins expand/contract do not function
– I use a feature from pagelines (it’s basically a slider) that no longer functions. It doesn’t slide and even clicking the thumbnails does not work
If I disable the Buddypress plugin everything works fine?
How the hell do I fix my site to be able to even log in to wordpress?

I just upgrade the buddystream plugin, then updated wordpress to the most recent version. Both said they were successful, but now I get this line when going to my site http://www.postgradjam.com and when I try to get into wp-admin… I am effectively locked out of making any changes!!!
@boonebgorges
actually, everything was fine while I’ve been testing WP 3.1.5 BP 1.2.8. (it means jquery 1.3.2 in code and 1.4.4 in WP), PROBABLY, issue is not in external/internal jquery, but in changes of later versions, 1.6.1 in our case (this is what I have found https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-have-comment-and-replies-collapse-and-expand/?topic_page=5&num=15#post-103151). And now older versions from our child themes (who uses external jquery) have conflict with internal 1.6.1.
after the upgrade i noticed that the dropdown activity-filter doesnt works
Having an issue with my custom post types on appearing on my custom page. Here is ths loop Im using.
Im a little confused as to why some loops work in buddypress and others dont. When they normally work in plain old wordpress.
The below will display nothing.
`
<?php
$wp_query = new WP_Query( array ( ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘3’, ‘post_type’ => ‘giveaways’ ) );
?>
have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
- <a href="” rel=”bookmark”>
`
Just looking back one post and at that snippet of code added a script call to the head it worries me as surely you would end up calling two different copies of the primary jQuery library, the WP one would need to be de-registered, preferably not though.
Thanks so much @snowgurl11 That worked for me, just that one edit on line 144 of /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress.php 
@boonebgorges I have just tried everything out on the same install with ALL plugins still ACTIVE but this time using the default theme and everything is okay.
I take it that it is now something in my theme causing the issue.
Would I be right to assume with it working in BP Default that my plugins are all okay to keep using? It isn’t those causing the issue but my theme? I do have an accordion that uses JS I think. It works but maybe causing a conflict?
James makes a good point. If you use a plugin (or custom code) that registers a non-standard versions of jQuery, you will have problems with the JS in bp-default (as well as WP and many other plugins).
hi @rossagrant, just found why.
in my case it was tutorial re how to hide/reveal activity replies. (I did not use plugin, therefore, these are lines
`
`
in header of my child theme.
if you do not use this tutorial, or plugin from the same author, check all other plugins, which use jquery.
@janismo I too get the filter dropdowns in the groups/ forums/ members/ activity etc doing nothing now in BP 1.2.9
Got a developer looking at it now.
Hopefully we’ll find the cause!
Keep me posted if you find out why!
hi hnla, you were faster than me.
just checked all issues again and have to say sorry, all problems are from child theme (bp-default works just fine).
can not find changelog of 1.2.9, were there any important changes I should implement in child theme?
thanks.
Testing on a default install of BP 1.2.9 / WP 3.2 Activity dir: all reply buttons in activity stream lists work, item-list-tabs work, dropdown activity-filter works.
Are you running bp-default? Have you force refreshed your cache?
if no one has reproaches, will use this topic to report wp 3.2 bp 1.2.9 issues.
from other topics and my experience so far:
site wide activities:
– reply button loads nothing;
– item tabs load nothing;
– drop down loads nothing;
Interesting I guess we can always de-register the WP script and enqueue our own versions if necessary, not that may help where plugins are concerned.
I update to WordPress 3.2, but the update of buddypress is not available. I do a search from plugins and i updatee from popup.
ilokano, try to put the default theme of wordpress and try the wordpress admin, i have the same probleme when i use my theme.
Sorry, figured it out. Once the update to WordPress 3.2 is complete, the update to Buddypress 1.2.9 becomes available from the dashboard.
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/

I am probably missing something very obvious, but what is the best way to upgrade Buddypress from 1.2.8 to 1.2.9? Should I just manually FTP the new files over the old ones, or is there an automated upgrade process?
Also, is there a preferred order in which I should upgrade WordPress and Buddypress? Should I upgrade WordPress to 3.2 first, and then upgrade Buddypress?
