Groups function not working

Just installed the latest buddypress upgrade this morning and my groups have all disappeared.

Here’s the error message I get when trying to view them:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _bp_strip_spans_from_title()

I tried to create a new group and it appeared then too.

I’ve tried deactivating all the plugins and that doesn’t fix it.

Hope someone can help. Thanks!

hi @julia_b,

you can try to apply patch 8. See here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6107

Will probably be solved in BP 2.2.2

For me, the problem is introduced with 2.2.2, not solved …

Thanks @danbp, but like @enaijo above, it was installing 2.2.2 that introduced this issue for my site too.

2.2.2 is out since a few hours only.
If you have issue with that version, open a ticket directly on Trac.

See from here how you can publish on Trac

Cannot redeclare _bp_strip_spans_from_title() means generally that 2 functions with the same name are running at the same time.

This can came from a plugin or a theme.
For example BP is using bp_strip_spans_from_title, but if your theme use the same function, this provides a colision and you got a php fatal error.

Activate 2015 and see if the issue still occurs.

Meanwhile, I just updated all my BP installs (with different themes) without any errors.

Hi,

the trouble seems to be that _bp_strip_spans_from_title() is declared by another plugin or a theme or a code in bp-custom.php or in a mu-plugin…

You should try to find the place were this function is already declared.

In the meantime you can create a bp-custom.php file at the root of /wp-content/plugins/ and use this gist in it to see if it solves the issue :

Removed the gist as it’s not fixing the issue
