6.3.0 Beta (RC1): BuddyPress/BuddyBoss Errors with Blank/Starter stack

Hey team, Hope you’re having a great week :slight_smile:

This is a follow up from this thread: Buddypress Nouveau - Can we disable all the Pro Buddypress addons?

I’ve got a fresh WP install with Pro 6.3.0 Beta (RC1) and BuddyBoss Platform installed and get the below error in the dashboard.

You are using an old theme and/or BuddyPress addon that relies on the older BuddyPress Legacy templates, and some things may not work properly. Consider switching to our BuddyBoss Theme and/or removing the BuddyPress addon that is using old methods.

That’s probably predictable given that some stacks do use the Legacy BuddyPress templates. However, it would be nice if this didn’t show when Blank/Starter stack is set. Also, the message doesn’t show when BuddyPress is installed.

Also, I get this error when viewing the Activity Steams or Members Directory pages when Blank/Starter Stacks are selected, with either BuddyPress or BuddyBoss active. The error only shows with WP_DEBUG turned on, otherwise a blank page is returned.

Notice: No template found custom/wp-buddypress in /path/to/public_html/wp-content/themes/pro-beta/framework/legacy/functions/frontend/view-routing.php on line 75

I’d suggest the template redirects should be disabled when Blank/Starter stacks are selected.

Let me know if you need any more info :wink:

Hey great to hear from you. Thanks for sending this my way.

Using either Blank or Starter should disable the other stack templates already so we might have to do some debugging. For the first request, I don’t see this, but I also don’t have the warning you are getting. Which page in the dashboard is this just so I can double check and potentially fix?

If there’s a caching plugin on, can you disable it to see if that helps? You might need to visit a page twice to know if it’s still broken if it’s a timing issue on our end. You are on the activity and members pages correct? If none of that helps can you let me know what the wp_options entry is for x_buddypress_enable?

Thanks @charlie.

All the pages in the dashboard

I’ve disabled the object and breeze cache plugins, as will as disabled varnish at server level. All problems previously described still persist.

You are on the activity and members pages correct?

Correct.

If none of that helps can you let me know what the wp_options entry is for x_buddypress_enable ?

It’s set to 1. Setting to 0 via /wp-admin/options.php fixes the issue. Now the question is why doesn’t that change when selecting blank/starter stacks? :wink:

Okay thanks for helping me out there. Yeah it’s just related x_buddypress_enable on our end and will be fixed next update. I will also set this up where it runs that buddypress code when you change to starter or blank after a save request. Thanks and have a great day!
