Can someone point me to information on how to remove the need for the BPclassic plugin?  At this point I seem to be caught in a loop: when I deactivate BP classic, the Commons in a Box automatically prompts its immediate reinstall. What are the legacy plugins, what is it in the Commons that is triggering the need to keep the BP Classic?

Here is my installation information

• Commons In A Box: 1.6.0
• Infinity Version: 1.1b
• BuddyPress: 14.1.0
• MySQL: 5.7.44
• Permalinks: custom
• PHP: 8.1.30
• WordPress: 6.6.2
• WordPress multisite: subdomain

Thanks for any help and apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere.

Hi Jesse,

BuddyPress 12.0 is a major release that has breaking changes for older BuddyPress plugins such as bbPress.

BP Classic is required so BuddyPress backward compatibility is maintained. Hence CBOX requires BP Classic until all our recommended BuddyPress plugins have updated their codebases to support BuddyPress 12. You can keep track of this issue here: https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/commons-in-a-box/issues/458.

In the meantime, BP Classic should not interfere with the workings of CBOX and BuddyPress.

Hope that answers your questions, Jesse.

Ray, thanks so much, this is exactly the information I needed! Also, great that the BP Classic plugin and CBox worked perfectly to keep me from making any ill-advised moves trying to get everything current.

Thanks for everything to the CBox team. I have been running multiple installations for almost 10 years without issue and it has been an incredible asset for those that I work with!

Best,

Jesse

Ray, I am getting this at the top of all of my subsites now. Any ideas what might be causing this. It does not show up on the main site of the multisite installation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update: I was able to remove the warning by turning on “bbPress Forums” in the Commons in the Box settings.
