I see buddypress 2.0 is out today. Any news on the CBOX front?

I’m excited buddypress is supposed to be faster.

hi @geoffreysfmac-com

It will probably take a little time for our dev team to make sure all the core plugins in CBOX work well with the new version of BuddyPress, and make any changes necessary.  But I know they are intricately involved in the BP release – so they will focus on getting a new version of CBOX out as soon as possible.

Perhaps this is the right place to inquire about Common in a Box updates.

I use Wordfence on all my sites and on jafanet.net Wordfence tells me that “BuddyPress” (1.9.2 ->2.0), “BuddyPress Docs (1.5.6 -> 1.7.0) and Invite Anyone (1.0.26 -> 1.2) are critical updates.  I can’t figure out how to update them, so I assume that is a Commons in a Box task.  What’s up with this?  So I did a Wordfence scan and the problems cleared.  Strange?

Hi Louis @lp3825 –

Commons in a Box manages nine core plugins and a default theme so that they all work together.  When an upgrade to one of these plugin takes place, we need to ensure that it will work okay with the other plugins and the theme, and if it doesn’t , we need to make some changes before releasing a new version of CBOX.  You can, of course, jump ahead to new versions of the various plugins – but be advised that you are circumventing one of nicest features about CBOX – that it provides a stable and tested platform where all components work together.

I know our dev team is working on a new version of CBOX which will include the updates you listed.

Thanks Scott – That’s what I thought just wanted to mention Wordfence
with Commons in a Box to see if there were any known problems. The host
(WPMU-Host.com) that I use recommended Wordfence after an incident on
one of my sites (Not CBox site but wordpress). Seems to work well and
has alerted me to attempts to crack my sites. – Louis

Hi Louis @lp3825 –

Wordfence seems like a nice plugin – I am not familiar at all with it – maybe someone else on this forum is?

It seems like it looks for important plugin updates and takes care of them, which maybe interferes with CBOX’s more conservative/careful plugin management?
