BuddyPress.org

Getting fatal error in upgrading BP that I’ve not found in forum search (long post, the “help us help you” information is lengthy)

I followed the instructions in this post:

http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/upgrading-from-10x/

2) Which state to deactivate all BP-related plugins (I only had one, already deactivated)

3) I deactivated Buddy press

4) I downloaded latest version, uploaded it via FTP using Firezilla and overwrote the previous BP folder

5) Returned to plugins page to re-activate BP, which is when I received this Fatal Error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_activity_install() (previously declared in /chroot/home/barliman/barlimans.com/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity.php:19) in /chroot/home/barliman/barlimans.com/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity.php on line 52

Steps 6 I haven’t attempted

Step 7: I was using default themes, but the instructions imply deleting bp-themes folder and etc. should happen *after* you reactivate BP.

I’ve looked through the forum and didn’t find another “fatal error” instance with this particular problem, so, as per: http://buddypress.org/forums/topic/trouble-upgrading, I’m creating a new thread
