New version destroyed my BuddyPress community and content.

[Jeremy]

The update to the new major version absolutely destroyed my BuddyPress community and content. Even after trying the BP Classic plugin, it was still non-functional, BP links would not go to the right pages, and lots of errors and 404’s. I’ve tried troubleshooting: I didn’t have any 3rd party BuddyPress plugins I, ran BP repair tools, cleaned my database out, lots. I’m just glad most of our community content was in bbPress, the forum software. That is all preserved. All the updates, memberships, friendships, and more that we depended on BuddyPress for is ruined. 🙁

Buddypress brought some interesting community functions, but after this disaster of a release, and the huge problems and time its been costing me, we need to reassess if it will be a part of our community’s future. I will look into a few other resolutions and if those don’t work, I’m giving up on Buddypress completely.

Hey Jeremy, sorry to hear about these problems.

I’d like to better understand what happened, because it sounds terrible and is not the kind of upgrade experience anyone should have.
