Deactivate BuddyPress and BP Plugins, set Appearance to a regular WP theme.
Then go back and activate BuddyPress only, set Appearance to BP-compatible theme and go to frontend.
It ought to not break. Are you running a custom theme, widget or plugin that might rely on the groups component being active?
@mercime I can’t get into the admin to deativate it! I’ll try to buddypress from the plugins folder, I have just reset everything up and imported my tables to a new instance, so I’m probably ok if it completely breaks
@Paul_Gibbs I’m using bpcolumns and I have plugins that probably need groups, so I’ll have a think and go through removing and testing
Thanks for the help
Fixed! It was a BP group email subsription plugin
thanks
Thanks for letting us know, I will contact the author
@ewebber glad you fixed it and seconding what DJPaul said, thank you for letting us know.
This same thing is happening to me – I installed buddypress and the front & back end of my site went completely blank. I chose to enable very few options like groups, etc. Now I’ve tried deleting the plugin from my cpanel & then reinstalling, but once I reinstall, my site goes breaks again and I can’t see any content on the front or back end. Any idea how to correct this?
