BuddyPress.org

If you want to use forums, you should use bbPress instead.

bbPress = forums plugin
BuddyPress = community plugin (member profiles, user groups, private messaging, notifications)

You can use both, but if a forum is all you need, then use bbPress.

I personally am not sure why you would move from phpBB. Installing WordPress just to use a WordPress forum plugin is not the best way to go about things unless you need to blog and use specific WordPress functionality on your site.

I’ve duplicated the issue for plugins using code like this:

add_action( 'bp_include', function() {
        if ( class_exists( 'BP_Group_Extension' ) ) {
                class My_Group_Extension extends BP_Group_Extension {
                }

                bp_register_group_extension( 'My_Group_Extension' );
        }
}, 99 );

The BuddyPress Cover Photo plugin uses something similar to the above.

I’ve opened a ticket with a fix to this specific problem:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7140

@anth0ny167 or anyone else experiencing this problem, I’m convinced this is a problem with class autoloading that we introduced in BuddyPress 2.6.

Although it helps, you shouldn’t need to add bp_is_active() checks that kaab321 recommended, the fact that you do means that it is a bug with BuddyPress.

If you can duplicate your issue after using my proposed fix:
https://gist.github.com/r-a-y/f54e7a07b71af1c7bfab6e06433da3d6

Then, please let me know the steps on how I could replicate this on a fresh install if possible.

@syborg has verified that this works.

Also, the BP Group Hierarchy issue is not related to this one.

i experienced exactly same issue with writer.
only activation mail not work, others do. password change, etc…

try to this
admin panel – setup – buddypress
setup is including permal link menu. i dont know exactly what it in english.

and click restore email setup. and i solved.
good luck!

Hi, I am one of the guys behind Woffice. On Woffice seems that the problem is not a conflict with “Buddypress Cover Photo”, the issue happens also without the plugin if the component “groups” is disabled.

So the solution proposed by @r-a-y doesn’t work for us, instead the solution proposed by @kaab321 solved the issue.

It’s a duplication of this topic:

No access to single activity item on from after BP2.6 upgrade

To roll back: download the previous version here. Delete your current version of BuddyPress and upload the older one.

@kaab321 I think that the fix proposed by @r-a-y is more elegant and relevant. You should use it instead, if it works for you, of course.

Thank you @r-a-y, I tried it and it works for me 🙂
I’ve seen that it was an autoload problem, but my knowledge about the buddypress core is very limited :/ I preferred modify a plugin than dare to change directly a buddypress file.

are you using any seventhqueen theme? if yes check this

Fatal error on a BuddyPress 2.6.0 upgrade

My particular problem was with the (ancient, but useful) plugin bp-group-hierarchy. The manual fix recommended in the post BuddyPress 2.6.0 “Espejo” is now available (found here: https://github.com/ddean4040/BP-Group-Hierarchy/pull/21/files) got me back up and running. Thanks!

This helped me A LOT! Solved my error. Got it from:

If you’re like me and have buddypress groups turned off, this will produce the error shown. I fixed by adding this to

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/classes/class-bp-group-extension.php

change:

$group_id = bp_get_current_group_id();

to:

$group_id = (bp_is_active('groups') ? bp_get_current_group_id() : '');

and change:

if ( empty( $group_id ) && bp_get_new_group_id() ) {
    $group_id = bp_get_new_group_id();
}

to:

if(bp_is_active('groups')) {
    if ( empty( $group_id ) && bp_get_new_group_id() ) {
        $group_id = bp_get_new_group_id();
    }
}

IMO, they should have tested this before pushing out an update. Hopefully they figure things out.
