What is the golden rule regarding updating plugins?
I have limited WordPress experience with major themes such as KLEO thus the question.
Are we okay to update core KLEO plugins such as BuddyPress and Paid Memberships Pro?
…or do you not update plugins that are ‘newer’ than the latest theme version?
Many thanks,
JP.Hi, If a major BuddyPress, Woocommerce plugin version is released it is advised to look over the forums if it is compatible or start a thread is no one already did that. That applies also to WordPress major releases too.
We usually quickly release a theme version to make it compatible with latest releases.
Cheers

@ SeventhQueen we do our best to have super happy customers. Thanks for being our customer.Thanks for the speedy response Abe.
So, we ignore the current ‘minor updates’ from Paid Memberships Pro e.g. 1.7.15.2 to 1.8.1 and BuddyPress 2.5.4 to 2.5.6
…and wait for a theme update basically (or you guys to suggest the update if it is essential and wouldn’t harm the theme)?
Thanks again,
JP.Yes minor versions should be fine to update and wait for theme update to update major version plugins

@ SeventhQueen we do our best to have super happy customers. Thanks for being our customer.Thankful that someone else has been questioning this besides me.
It would be very helpful to have a central place to go to check if these core plugin updates are deemed safe or not.
1. BuddyPress
2. Paid Membership Pro
3. rtMediaI haven’t yet updated #2 & #3 in fear of not having confirmation of their compatibility with KLEO.
Since this question was triggered by the recent Buddypress update, I hope this fits here.
I have some new behavior on my site since the Buddypress update. Now when people go to make groups, the image upload and group info section are missing – it just creates a private group immediately with the standard avatar. Is this happening to anybody else? I am not 100% certain it was the BP update as we also had some other plugins update and made some general site changes. But I figure the first thing to see is if anybody else is having this issue with Kleo.
@empoweredanimals please deactivate extra plugins since I can’t replicate that

@ SeventhQueen we do our best to have super happy customers. Thanks for being our customer.Well I just deleted the VS file from the server and the site came back up. I figured that’s the only reason why it keeps crashing. My wordpress version keeps getting auto updated by GoDaddy so now I’m using wordpress 4.2 and I don’t think VC is compatible and I can’t use this theme without it I’m pretty sure (or am I wrong?)
VC works fine. Make sure you install VC 4.4.3 located in the latest Kleo download from theme forest.

I’ve tried the latest one and as soon as I activate it, the site crashes and it’s a fresh install of WordPress and only has the plugin and theme that I paid for with KLEO. Since buying it, I’ve not been able to use it. If anyone can help me, that’d be great, I can give them access to the website.
Sounds like you dont have enough memory allocated. You need at least 128mb https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP

That’s just a common phrase in America. Like saying “you guys” when talking to a group of girls. Not really meant to be an assumption of your sexuality.
@sharmstr you should put something in the avatar related to your sexuality 🙂 kidding

@ SeventhQueen we do our best to have super happy customers. Thanks for being our customer.Funny thing is that I was born and raised in America and in 45 years I’ve never once heard someone use “my good sir” when talking to a woman. Nice try. Anyhow, I was just wondering why so many people assume they are talking to a man when talking about code. No big deal. Moving on….
