Fatal errors for calls to undefined BP funcs after upgrading BP

I upgraded my version of budypress via admin and now calls to BP functions (such as bp_is_active) are causing fatal errors. I can’t access wp-admin and cant activate / deactivate BP via wp-cli either (simply returns the same error about fatal call to undefined bp functions.)

If I wipe out my functions.php, there will be template files which call undefined functions. So I can’t really do that.

What’s wrong with the ugprade process that seemingly disables buddypress? How do I fix this?

The problem is you are attempting to use BuddyPress functions when they do not exist during activation / reactivation in your theme’s functions.php or templates.

When specifically relying on plugin functions, wrap those function calls with:
```
if ( function_exists( 'THE_FUNCTION_YOU'RE_USING' ) ) {
     // YOUR CODE HERE
}
```

So this only matters if upgrading via wp-admin, because of a disable/re-enable routine? Had no problems deploying to other environments via git/sftp/ssh.

Makes sense though. Will wrap to future proof this for later. Thx!
