BuddyPress/bbPress Group forums not showing up

[501creative]

I’m having the same issue as reported in https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/issue-with-buddypress-bbpress-sites/34784.

I have BuddyPress/bbPress set up and the group forums are not being displayed. I currently have the latest versions of Wordpress, Pro and plugins. If I switch back to the Twenty Seventeen theme then the forums are available.

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! The reported issue were already resolve in Pro 2.1.6 and X 6.1.6 release version. Your issue could be another one. It seems that a fatal error has been triggered. Could you please enable the debug mode so that we can determine what the fatal error is all about? You can do this by opening wp-config.php and adding

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

When you revisit the page, we should have some error output describing the issue in more detail.

Please let us know how it goes.

Also tried it with Twenty Seventeen. The fatal error was not present in that and the forum was visible.

Hi @501creative,

May I know which page is displaying this error? The function bp_is_group_forum() is no longer exist in /pro/buddypress/groups/single/home.php in the latest version. And your current version is the latest one.

And forums are available too, would you mind providing a screenshot of what you’re getting? And provide more information on what forums should be there.

I also tried an update to see if this is due to lingering files from the old version, but it’s not. I also checked in your admin and there are only two parent forums, the rest are child forums which reflects what I’m seeing in the main forum page.

Thanks!

I’m having this problem while trying to access any of the groups forums, for example from this page.. Odd thing is the sidebar and admin bar are both missing as well.

I have tried disable all plugins, removing and recreating the forums, and completely removing bbPress and starting over. No luck.

Hi @501creative,

I see, I’m able to confirm the issue now. Would you mind providing your FTP login credentials too? I have to check your BuddyPress/bBPress templates.

Thanks!

Added to the previous secure note.

Hi @501creative

I couldn’t log in with these FTP credentials, could you please recheck this information for us?

Thanks.

[501creative]

Verified the credentials work. Just used them directly from the secure note. Are you going in through SFTP?

Hi @501creative

I managed to log in your server, thanks!

I can reproduce this issue on my localhost as well, running only the latest version of Pro, BuddyPress and bbPress. So, I’ve reported this issue to our dev team for further investigation. Currently we don’t have the information whether this is going to be fixed or not or even an ETA, our dev team will investigate this issue thoroughly first.

Thanks.
