Problems following attempted upgrade.

    Had fully operational Buddypress site running 1.5.6 until upgrading to 1.6.1 via WP admin. After upgrade, lost access to admin. Attempted to upload a backup (back to 1.5.6) through Bluehost. Lost access to front end. Working with Bluehost, tech restored earlier iteration, deactivated all plugins, activated 2010 theme and got site back (front displays). I attempted to install a BP compatible theme, reactivate BP – white screen! I can see landing page if BP not activated. I was unable to find BP default theme – which I had been using successfully – through WP admin theme install (or anywhere else)

    Could definitely use some help here. http://www.katahdinpartnership.org Any ideas?

    @bruce-hazard I see that you’re using Elbee Elgee theme which needs to be updated fpr BP 1.6 https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-after-update-5?replies=18

    Thank you (merci) mercime. I thought with my restore that I was going back to 1.5.6, but maybe not.
    My goal would be to restore with the BP default theme.

    Question – if I delete BP and then upload anew, would that make the BP default theme available to me? More importantly, would I lose existing data? I should probably know the answer to this question but I am learning by doing.

    I was excited to see the CUNY people working on “Commons in a box.” Maybe I should wait for that? I have six or eight other groups that would like a communications platform like this one so want to get it right. This one kind of a prototype.

    Again, thanks for your help.

    OK. Site is back. Upgraded WordPress. “Restore” did bring back BP 1.5.6. per above Not sure at this point if I will attempt BP upgrade to 1.6.1. But at least the site is working again.

    Good guidance from portion of this forum focused on installation problems which reminded me to “activate” BP and then gave access to BP default theme!

    Again, thanks for help.

    @bruce-hazard glad you resolved this on your own. Yes, in any new WP/BP installation, bp-default theme is best theme to use while check out if everything’s functioning as expected :-)
