Notes About BP Groups Extras Pro Updates

As you have already noticed, I maintain both the Free and Pro versions of my BuddyPress Groups Extras plugin. The Pro version currently consists of only 1 extension – Search, that gives you the ability to include all group’s custom pages and fields into the global groups’ search – the one that is available mainly on Groups Directory.

Other things, like Blog, Poll, Pages (extended version of what we have currently in BPGE), Access, etc are in development and should be available one by one in some not far future.

There are several ways for you to stay updated with the latest BPGE Pro extension versions.

The main one that was available till now – you see that BPGE Free has been updated (you needed to go to WordPress Plugins repository for that, or install but not activate the free version on some WP site), and after that, you can use the link from the email you got when you bought the extension here on a site to go to the purchases page. On that page you can always download the latest version of everything bought here. It’s a bit complicated, as requires from you too many steps.

So I decided to simplify this process a bit. From now I have included in the code the version checker. That means if I release the latest version of any extension for BPGE – you will see a notice in your admin area. You will be able to see this in action in several days when I will update the Search. The same will soon be included for the whole BPGE Pro version.

For now, you will need to re-download the BPGE Pro when BPGE Free is released (like today, BPGE v3.6.1 is out). The Pro version will always have all the fixes/features of the free one, so it’s highly recommended to update.

I’m sorry for this short inconvenience while I’m setting everything up.

PS. All buyers can freely contact me via email they received on purchase OR using the support forum.
