BuddyPress.org

Update: The bug only exists only with the BuddyPress Legacy template pack. It does not occur with the BuddyPress Nouveau template back.

It works like this:

add_filter('bp_get_activity_show_filters_options', 'my_buddypress_filter',10,2);
function mp_buddypress_filter($filters, $context) {
  $filters['new_blog_post'] = 'Blog Posts';
  $filters['new_blog_comment'] = 'Blog Comments';
  $filters['bbp_topic_create'] = 'Forum Topics';
  $filters['bbp_reply_create'] = 'Forum Replies';
  return $filters;
}

@espellcaste I appreciate your response and I’m sorry to report that I’m still getting the same fatal PHP error (referencing the same filenames and line numbers), even after applying your latest patch.

I went to double check the github pull request here, and applied both of the changes shown there (lines 102 and 111).

I also tried it both with and without @imath ‘s bp-custom.php suggestion from earlier in the thread.

Let me know what I can try next.

@espellcaste it looks like the same error message from my original post (to me at least), which is why I’m wondering if I’m applying the fix incorrectly.

All I did was edit line 101 of /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/classes/class-bp-rest-components-endpoint.php to read:

if ( 'optional' !== $type && ! empty( $components['core'] ) ) {

and when I try to add a new WP post, I get the “There has been a critical error on your website” message, and the PHP error log shows this:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot access offset of type string on string in /nas/content/live/edrmdev/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/classes/class-bp-rest-components-endpoint.php:102\nStack trace:\n#0 /nas/content/live/edrmdev/wp-includes/rest-api/class-wp-rest-server.php(1143): BP_REST_Components_Endpoint->get_items(Object(WP_REST_Request))\n#1 /nas/content/live/edrmdev/wp-includes/rest-api/class-wp-rest-server.php(990): WP_REST_Server->respond_to_request(Object(WP_REST_Request), '/buddypress/v1/...', Array, NULL)\n#2 /nas/content/live/edrmdev/wp-includes/rest-api.php(519): WP_REST_Server->dispatch(Object(WP_REST_Request))\n#3 /nas/content/live/edrmdev/wp-includes/rest-api.php(2868): rest_do_request(Object(WP_REST_Request))\n#4 [internal function]: rest_preload_api_request(Array, '/buddypress/v1/...')\n#5 /nas/content/live/edrmdev/wp-includes/block-editor.php(601): array_reduce(Array, 'rest_preload_ap...', Array)\n#6 /nas/content/live/edrmdev/wp-admin/edit-form-blocks.php(75): block_editor_rest_api_preload(Array, Object(WP_Block_Editor_Context))\n#7 /nas/content/live/edrmdev/wp-admin/post-new.php(72): require('/nas/content/li...')\n#8 {main}\n thrown in /nas/content/live/edrmdev/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/classes/class-bp-rest-components-endpoint.php on line 102, referer: https://edrmdev.wpengine.com/wp-admin/edit.php

Should I be doing something differently?

Thank you @espellcaste !

I tried editing my line 101 of /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/classes/class-bp-rest-components-endpoint.php as shown in your fix, and I am still getting the same fatal error when trying to add a new post. I will wait and see what happens with your Github pull request (in case I am somehow applying the fix incorrectly).

I’m more hopeful now, knowing progress is being made. And I’m still happy to test fixes.

Hi Mathieu, thank you for this suggestion, but I’m sorry to report that this does not fix the error for me.

First I added a bp-custom.php file containing your code, following the instructions you linked to, and the same fatal error still occurred on any attempt to add a new page or post.

Next, I tried deactivating ALL plugins except for BuddyPress, and switching to the Twenty Twenty theme. This error still occurs, even when the only plugin active is BuddyPress, on a default WP theme, both with the new bp-custom.php file and without it. I did this on the development environment for the site: https://edrmdev.wpengine.com/

So I’m really at a loss, having tried every recommended troubleshooting technique.

Is there anything else you can suggest?

I’m happy to test anything that might work.
