== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What about feature requests? =

You can register on our [support site](http://shabushabu.eu/membership-options/) and leave a comment in our support forums.

= What are the minimum requirements to run Buddyvents? =

That would be:
WordPress 3.0.1
BuddyPress 1.2.6 (active messages & friends component; will be changed)
PHP 5

Buddyvents might run on earlier versions of WP and BP, but they are not supported.

= Why doesn’t the upload functionality work? =

Make sure that your uploads directory, usually wp-contents/uploads, is writable. You can set the permissions to 777 by using an FTP programme such as FileZilla.

= Something’s wrong with recurrent events. What do I do? =

Recurrent events are still somewhat experimental. The best thing to do is install the plugin Cron View by Simon Wheatley, then check if the recurrent events have been scheduled correctly.
Recurrent events in Buddyvents use this hook to schedule events: bpe_create_redisplayed_event_action.

= I have just updated Buddyvents, but it still tells me that a new version is available. Why? =

Please follow the upgrade installation. The plugin checks once a day if a new version exists.
The update nag gets automatically removed when you reactivate Buddyvents after uploading the new files.
If you want to get rid of the nag straight away, then paste the following snippet into your themes functions.php:
delete_option( ‘buddyvents_update_exists’ );

Alternatively, you can just wait until the plugin checks next for a new version.

= Support =

Upon purchase of this plugin you receive support for v1.x of the plugin. You will need to purchase the plugin again when the version reaches 2.0
