Links seems to have stopped working with Buddypress 2.2
-
Following this mornings upgrade to Buddypress 2.2, Links has stopped working.
BP no longer regonises the linked page, and the Links page no longer shows the links, it’s blank.
I asked on the BP forum what was the cause of this and I got this reply:
It appears this plugin has a specific way to build its component. It’s actually not using the BP_Component class.
I’ve run some test with branch 1.7 of the BuddyPress skeleton component (https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-skeleton-component/tree/1.7) which is using the BP_Component class to set its example component. With this plugin, the directory page issue is not happening.
So i’d recommand the author of the plugin to use the BP_Component class making sure the Links component is set as active using this kind of code https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-skeleton-component/blob/1.7/includes/bp-example-loader.php#L64
In 2.2 we’ve introduced a bp_is_active() check in the function bp_core_get_directory_page_ids(), i think it’s the reason why this problem has occured with this plugin. See https://buddypress.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/tags/2.2.0/src/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php#L439
