Please read before Upgrading to WordPress 3.1 & BuddyPress 1.2.8

1. Hi All,
   Just wanted to let you know some issues you may encounter if you are upgrading to WordPress 3.1+BuddyPress 1.2.8 today.

   Almost all plugins which provide the admin options page in the BuddyPress admin menu, will not be able to do so , until they are updated by their respective developers.

   That includes bp-gallery(I have already updated it and fixed the issue, will post the download by late evening as I look forward to fixing a few other things too).

   Other plugins whose admin menu will not be available are
   -Achievements
   -jet event system
   -BuddyPress Links
   -and almost every plugin which provide a backend admin menu under BuddyPress.

   That does not mean they will stop functioning. They will work fine on the front end, but you won't be able to control their settings from backend (as of now until the update for the plugins comes).

   Please be warned, BuddyStream will give fatal error, if you are upgrading to BP 1.2.8+Wp 3.1

   I hope it helps a few of you.

   My advice will be, wait for a couple of days if you are using one of the major plugin which provides some backend admin options under BuddyPress menu, and let the developers put their plugin updates(It is just one line fix for each of the plugin, nothing too much).

   If you find any of our plugin misbehaving, please do let me know. I will be glad to update.

   Thanks

2. Thank you so much for the information! I did not even know, yet, that 3.1/1.2.8 were released.

3. Any info on how one would go about fixing these? I've looked around for documentation and can't seem to find anything.

4. Well,
   It's one line fix.

   Look for the code

   add_action("admin_menu","some_action-hook"); in the plugin

   and change that to

   add_action( is_multisite() ? 'network_admin_menu' : 'admin_menu', 'some_action-hook');

   and that will make it visible in bp admin menus.

5. Thanks Brajesh,

   I was able to fix a bunch of plugins. Still waiting on upgrading the production server, but at least this restores functionality on my development system.
