You should follow this ticket.

BuddyPress uses bbpress.org for all forums.
Please use their support, bbpress.org/forums, for questions specific to forums.

WP no longer allows you to add code in the editor unless it can test the code first – otherwise it throws that error.

You should not be adding the code in that location.

You should add it to bp-custom.php or to the functions.php file in your theme or child theme.

Are you using BuddyPress 4.0 ?

If so, you can file a ticket here.

Be sure to state the BP version and the steps needed to reproduce your issue.

If you are referring to BP 4.0, and the Fatal Error re add new members in wp-admin > Groups > Group > Edit, then you are correct.
A bug report has been filed.

Well… let me add just my 2 cents here…

PeepSo isn’t really expensive if you consider the level of support we provide, continuous and frequent updates etc. WPML compatibility is on our list, we still have a lot of other things to do before we can get to that.

As we provide plugins for most functionality ourselves, updates won’t break anything. We test PeepSo with latest php, WordPress etc. to ensure it’s ready for whatever comes next. We’re already PHP 7.3 compatible. We have automated testing suite, dedicated server and an engineer to make sure everything always works.

On the other hand there’s BuddyPress… to get all the functionality PeepSo provides with the bundle, you need to pay actually more… not only that but the need to go to multiple vendors, which don’t have the same development rate. You can update one thing and then the others don’t get updated and you’re stuck with outdated code. Or you upgrade something and break your site because it won’t play well with others. If you want to spend time one maintenance and making sure everything plays well together, sure. Go with BP.

But just to touch base on customizations, when they are done properly with plugins, css, template or assets overrides they will not ‘break’ your custom code. Hacking plugins directly is NEVER a good idea. If you need advice on adding functionality or how to go about it, we can give pointers.

Did you try to narrow down the issue ?

For example:

Did you try deactivating LH Private BuddyPress ?
If the menus return, then you should follow up with the creators of the LH Private BuddyPress plugin.

Did you try switching from Nouveau to the other template pack – BuddyPress Legacy ?

I assume you meant bbPress 2.5.14
Are you on BuddyPress 3.2.0 ?

I’m able to see bbpress and buddypress on the admin site…

By ‘see’ you mean in the Network Admin dashboard, you can see both plugins on the plugins page and they both say ‘Network Deactivate’ under the plugin name?

On the Network Admin Dashboard, I see tabs for ‘Activity’ and ‘Groups’, both are BP components.
Under ‘Settings’, I see BuddyPress, but not ‘Forums’.

If I add a Group, it does so only on the primary site on the network – but all the Settings are only on the Network Admin screen.

I do not see any dashboard links re BuddyPress on any site within the network.

For ‘Forums’ ( bbPress ), I see a tab and a Settings link for all sites in the network.

This may be correct, although confusing.
I just want to confirm that we are seeing the same things.
