For 1.5 RC1 the file that had the error was “~/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-notifications.php”
For 1.2.10 the file was “~/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-notifications.php”.
I had the error first with 1.2.10 then tried and upgrade to 1.5 RC1, both versions had the same error but for different files.
I happy that my contents of the entire /buddypress/ directory are correct for 1.5 RC1. I’m now using 1.5 RC1.
I should have looked at the error log before! Errors were (lots of them, all for the same bp core file):
With BP 1.2.10 – PHP Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-notifications.php on line 63, referer: some web page etc.
Seems to me that when bp-core-notifications.php queried the db for notification data it somehow broke and stopped outputting. The last word of the HTML output of the page was ‘Notifications’.
BTW: Can’t edit post here, have to delete and add another!
Figured this out. The admin bar was broken at “Notifications”, this stopped the page from loading fully and some JS for wordpress was not loaded. The data in the database looked ok, but there was a lot of notifications in the table as I deleted a lot of content/posts recently. Anyway I emptied the wp_bp_notifications table and it’s working now. Great!
Update: Tried BP 1.5 RC1 and the issue is still there. This issue must not happen in every install or else everybody would be commenting. I’ll look for something local to my environment or attempt to debug the JS.
Seems that JS is messed up on the wordpress admin interface, along with the issues above the editor doesn’t show content and I can’t switch between Visual and HTML view.
I’m using the default buddypress theme and I now have no other plugins active. I also reset the plugins (active_plugins field) in wp-options table and then only turned on buddypress. I have not customised core code.
Was previously running 3.2.1 and 1.2.9. I’ve upload/installed the plugin in various ways to make sure nothing went wrong.
Seems a JS issue to me? As if wordpress required functionality has been overwritten. The buddypress admin bar dropdowns work.
