Beta Testing is already upgrading to Beta 1.

Yes, meanwhile WP 3.0 Beta 1 is out and the hosting companies are already offering the upgrade / installation through simple scripts.
Hope that BP 1.3 comes quickly.
I’m testing WP 3.0 Beta 1 with BP and besides the avatar’s issue all I can say is that it’s much faster than it was.
This WP 3.0 is really a great work.

Thank you ClaytonJames.

That’s where is written: “Already have a test install that you want to switch over to the beta? Try the beta tester plugin.”

As the beta tester didn’t work I’ve downloaded the zip file and made the upgrade manually.

The problem could be in the htaccess file: “avatar issue” topic

I’ve tried to change the htaccess file but without success.

Yes, but no solution yet.
Check this topic.

Thank you, I’ll check the .htaccess file but it seems that the best solution is to wait for the WP 3.0 Beta and the BuddyPress compatibility actions.
The site that I want to upgrade to WPMU / WP 3.0 is a 2.9.2 installation and I want to be sure that no date will be lost during the upgrade. That’s why the 2.9.2 installation first.

One more test.
1- WordPress 2.9.2
a) New dir at wp-content > blogs.dir
b) Settings > Miscellaneous > Set uploads to blogs.dir and wrote the full uploads URL path

2- BuddyPress installation
a) Avatars didn’t show
b) Changed line 389 of bp-core-avatars.php to:
if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )
$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/blogs.dir’;
else
$path = ABSPATH . $path;
c) It worked! At this point it was possible to upload, preview and crop the images.

3-Upgrade to WP 3.0 alpha using the Beta Tester plugin > Bleeding edge nightlies
a) The avatars have disappeared and in its place there’s the text “Avatar Image” and “Member Avatar”
b) No preview on crop

Just made another test.
Now I’ve installed BuddyPress after upgrading to WP 3.0 alpha.
Same result: browse image > upload > image doesn’t show but by clicking in crop it’s uploaded to the folder but the avatar place is empty (the text “Avatar Image” is displayed).

Thanks Frits1980

I’ve checked that too. The images are being uploaded to the folder that I define and the image path is embedded if you click “crop”. It’s a blank image but the path to the file is the right one although the right mouse click > view image shows a “page not found” result.

Hi,
In WP Single there were conflicts all over after the upgrade (headers already sent … and so on) and it was impossible to deactivate it through the admin panel. I had to delete the plugin via FTP.

Same problem here:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home2/xxxxxxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-ajax-chat/bp-chat/chat/lib/class/CustomAJAXChat.php on line 333

Tried to install the plugin in a single WordPress. The famous warnings “headers already sent” showed up at the bottom of the page. Also, it broke the sidebar down, didn’t respect the page css.
Don’t know about the warnings but I suggest an option to choose in what page the chat will be embedded (a short-code would be useful).
