Hello,

WORDPRESS 5.7.2
BuddyPress Version 8.0.0
my site: PalZtogo.com

I receive 500 Error when trying to edit BuddyPress “Groups” page with Elementor.
This is the Debug message I get:

There has been a critical error on this website.

Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to Elementor\Controls_Stack::sanitize_settings() must be of the type array, null given, called in /home/palztogo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/includes/base/controls-stack.php on line 987 and defined in /home/palztogo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/includes/base/controls-stack.php:2038

I increased the memory limit to 512MB (in wp-config.php), but it didn’t help.
Can you please help?

Thank you,
Dror

You need to ask Elementor about that error.

That is Elementor’s answer:

The Group Directory page of Buddypress does not seem to a normal page, it’s more like an Archive template. I can see the issue does not persist on other static pages.

As we have no control over coding for third-party plugins nor themes, we highly recommend that you report this issue to the support team for this plugin so they may further troubleshoot and provide any recommendation (or possible fix) to resolve this issue.

@palztogo BuddyPress mapped pages are template driven and they do not a content area that’s why elementor can not be used on those pages yet.

Is there any intention to allow editing BuddyPress mapped pages with Elementor in the near future?

Thanks

@palztogo not in the current roadmap, you can edit them via template override or add group blocks inside other existing pages using shortcodes or elementor blocks. you can also check https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes-for-buddypress/

Thank you very much for your answer.

Are there any other similar pages in BuddyPress like Groups where no content area is available? Which pages are they?

(so I will know to avoid edit them with Elementor and will know that this is not a debug issue)

@palztogo all those pages which you map inside Setting >> BuddyPress >> Pages tab

Im getting the same error 2 years later 🙁
Im guessing its still not on the roadmap
What do you mean edit them via template override?

When I view the pages though the buddypress association page the pages load without the header and footer templates… Not sure how I would fix this?

Or would it be better to create completely new pages with the shortcodes?

@opsyche, it depends on what you want to achieve. Creating a completely separate page is not the solution. Instead, all single profiles or groups should use the same slug which is mapped with BuddyPress pages.

If you want to add a global header or footer to all BuddyPress pages, you can do it with Elementor instead of editing the BuddyPress member loop or group loop.

The upcoming BP v12.0 update will replace the BP page option with a post type. For more information, visit https://buddypress.org/support/topic/lets-prepare-the-buddypress-12-0-0-next-major-release/.
