Register page gives Critical Error

    Hello all,

    I’m working in a custom theme in wordpress. I’m getting an error on page /register. It is a blank page and sends directly to the buddypress template php file.

    The fields are all there, but it shows a critical error. Anyone have an idea as to what I can do to solve this?

    Thanks

    There has been a critical error on this website.

    How can I find out more specifically what’s wrong with it? I’m comfortable with php and have built a custom theme.

    This page has worked in my theme before, not sure what changed. I tried making a php file called page-create-account.php. I created a page in the backend of wordpress and linked the buddypress pages options to that page.

    I believe I copied the ‘register.php’ from the buddypress legacy folder in the plugin folder.

    When I saw the error, I even tried taking everything out of that file and just writing <?php echo 'hi';?> and it still shows the same form and the same error.

    Use WP Debug to get the actual error – not just the message.

    HA! I cannot believe I have been building this website without knowing about this tool. Thank you, this is really useful. I’ve been commenting out lines until it works in the past. Let me look at this and report back. Thanks so much!
