By the sounds of it you have two plugins trying to declare the same function name. Deactivate all of your plugins apart from BuddyPress, if the error remains try switching themes to 2016, if that fails then it’s custom code you’d added via function.php, bp-custom.php etc.
Tricky part is I can’t just disable all plugins since I got quit a few users. I also don’t know how to duplicate this error so disabling them for a short time to see if the error remains isn’t an option as well.
Is there any possibility that you can point me a little bit more in the right direction? Maybe if I sum up all the plugins in use?

In that position, I’d download the plugins directory and do a search through the contents using something like Notepad++ Search in Files
Great tip, I’ll look into that asap and let you know.

Alright, I’ve downloaded my entire WP directory and searched for bp_members_screen_display_profile with Notepad++ Search in Files. But the only files showing hits belong to Buddypress.

How to go from here?

Next step would be to Download your childtheme contents and do the same lookup.
This was already including my childtheme & custom functions.php.
Literally everything slightly related to wordpress was checked.
Best regards,
That’s really strange, you can see in the files you have scanned that the function is only being declared once.
I performed the search again. This time I downloaded ALL files from my vps. The results are still the same.
Can’t say I understand recursive functions in php but they seem to work. Just looks so strange to call a function inside itself. In this instance; How does do_action( 'bp_members_screen_display_profile' ); actually know what to do?
function bp_members_screen_display_profile() {
do_action( 'bp_members_screen_display_profile' );
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_members_screen_display_profile', 'members/single/home' ) );
}
Is there anything I can do to help out and dig a little bit deaper?
Best regards,

the do_action is not calling the function, it’s setting up an action hook that fires whenever that function is called.
I’m at a loss as to what to do next, you may need to call in an expert. The error itself is simple enough, finding the culprit has gotten problematic.
Saw you guys released 4.0.0 so I deinstalled the old version, did some repairs on the database and installed the new version of buddypress. So far so good, in 24 hours this fatal error has not popped up again. Let’s hope it stays that way 🙂
