About documentation: I agree with you. Writing what we need to do is nice. It would be even greater if you could take another step: contribute to it 😅.
We’ve tried to get contributors to help us twice to update https://codex.buddypress.org unfortunately we were not able to get enough people to help us.
For this particular release, we’ve made a big shift and I personally took the time to write docs about the effects for users as I wrote into the announcement post. You can read it here: https://github.com/buddypress/buddypress/blob/master/docs/user/administration/README.md
Problem is: being in the code makes you miss important things for users. The fact we now uses the URLs BP settings tab instead of the WordPress pages we used before to set BP directory slugs and titles does not seem to be too difficult to find to me. I see reading your and some other replies it’s not that easy.
Adding directory links to WP Menus hasn’t changed that much, here’s a direct link to the doc: https://github.com/buddypress/buddypress/blob/master/docs/user/administration/navigations/README.md
Mathieu, thanks for the comments , I can see there are many effected by the upgrade, I hope its not overwhelming for you. I don’t write php, but of course can copy and paste. I am not missing any buttons, the buttons just don’t work , they still show, they are edit , delete, created I think with forminator. Since there is a functions.php page in my child theme I tried pasting the add_filter code you posted, with BP 12 it didn’t help. I pasted it in the top section “function my theme area, I posted the functions php code in a gist here
I am looking to see how to share a screenshot of the offending page ,.
Hey also I noticed in the buddypress settings page there is a tab marked “Pages” that is new, I have no idea if I am supposed to set those drop downs to pages, but after touching it now I see a message in red “The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated BuddyPress Pages: Members, Activity, Groups, Activate, Register.” The guy that wrote these custom code child theme pages died about two years ago, I’ve been maintaining this website and really hope I can keep this working , updates can whack it out , but usually it still functions after the update , not this time
here is the offending page , could be others effected , but this one so far
So you are saying the order of things matters a lot, add bp classic, update BP 12, then activate BP classic in that order , my situation may be different due to custom code, but I do want to make sure things are done in correct order first. Thanks
this was in response to a comment from another guy posted here
that didn’t fix my issue, when clicking a form button , next page form does not load,
If I turn dbug display to true in wp-config I think there are 298 depreciations and two warnings displaying see in link below , also in my PDOCrud scripts there are error debug settings these or off right now , notice the last two are undefined warnings. link
here are the warnings/errors shown with wp-config off (false) and PDOCrud dbug/errors set to display I am lost in all these depreciations, etc, was told by Divi support they are just future warnings, but could be they need to be addressed at some point, here is a Gist link on what is shown link
I can indeed help with BuddyPress 12.0 Documentation, if I am guided on how it works.
I can start now, and try to finish by January ending.
Then, it will be easy if the Documentation does not involve me writing PHP Codes.
Regards.
@erotmil you can turn WP_DEBUG to false. Deprecated notices need to be addressed, but they are not responsible for the bug.
BP Classic can be activated before or after BuddyPress 12.0.0. In 11.4.0 we suggested to activate it so that the 12.0.0 migration task is short circuited, but it can be done after, it will simply revert the 12.0.0 migration task.
I’ll look at your HTML page asap.
@erotmil I just tested:
When I click on the “calendar request” button, I reach this page https://yoursite.url/calendar-request/ and the form below button is about requesting a calendar.
When I click on the “website request” button, I reach this page https://yoursite.url/website-request/ and the form below button is about requesting a website.
At first sight, I don’t see issues. Do buttons need to do something else?
Otherwise, you’ll need to refresh your pemalink settings (Settings > Permalinks, simply click on the form button) because BP directory/pages are not reachable for now.
I also commented on your gist to show you where the filter needs to be added.
When BP Classic is active the WordPress menu does not work correctly: Appearance->Customize.
Appearance submenu entries using: …wp-admin/customize.php?return=…
You inactivate it and it works.
Thanks for this great work!!
Gracias por este gran trabajo!!
Login as
on the website request page try and edit a request,
then to see how it does work, rollback to 11.40. you will see the rollback option in buddypress plugin . let me know what you think
Thanks
@erotmil this is a public forum, do not share access to your site. I never ask to log in to a user site, and I’ll never log in to edit a user site. I just deleted the access you shared in your previous reply.
Your custom page is out of BuddyPress scope. The only thing that has changed since 11.4.0 that could possibly interfere imho is the fact BuddyPress used to put its JavaScript and Styles everywhere on your site, including this page. You can try to use the gist the way I commented it to have these JavaScript and Styles back.
Hi @chuchy10 thanks for your feedback I’ll look at it. I believe you can use the regular Menu Administration in the meantime.
Hi @gbordormor22
Here is how you can get involved with documentation:
https://github.com/buddypress/buddypress/tree/master/docs/contributor/documentation
You and everyone are very welcome to contribute.
with that script on line 155 the function (buttons do work now), thanks
I try to stay in the loop with changes and helping documentation Buddypress as it develops.
Been using it over 14 years on this website, thanks again
Hi
Can anyone tell me why when I enter the BuddyPress from WordPress settings it is not showing the Pages tab so I have no way of setting the registration, login pages etc?
Thanks
Matt
I don’t know if this has anything to do with the new update but every time I tried to go to customize in the themes I can’t display the page correctly since the update I’ve done the classic install it seems like it’s not compatible with my themes is there a way to go back to the original WordPress
You can use the plugin wp Rollback, once that plugin is activated every plugin will display a Rollback link on the plugins page. Roll it back to 11:40 until you have a fix
Thank you I’ve figured out what was causing that problem it’s actually the classic widgets it is having a conflict with one of my plugins when I deactivate classic widgets than that problem goes away with a customizer I’m still in working progress of trying to figure out which plug-in it’s having a problem and conflicting. Classic widgets is conflicting with the BP attachments I deactivated the BP attachments and the problem went away now everything’s fully functional at the moment
Hi @mattobiwan1982
The Pages tab of the BuddyPress settings has been replaced by the URLs one where you can customize all BP URLs slugs. Directories, registration/activate pages are now managed ged from there. See:
https://github.com/buddypress/buddypress/blob/master/docs/user/administration/settings/urls.md
If you need to add some of these pages to your WordPress menus, I advise you to read:
https://github.com/buddypress/buddypress/blob/master/docs/user/administration/navigations/README.md
@jaymzwayne Thanks for your feedback I’ll try to figure out why there’s such an issue between Legacy wigdets and the BP Attachments Add-on.
@erotmil Awesome! I’m happy the issue is resolved 👌
