BuddyPress.org

Some of my users’s profiles are not loading completely on my live site and end below the <!-- .item-list-tabs --> line in the source. When I try it out on my local server, I get the following error message:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /opt/lampp/htdocs/sbwp/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 212

I looked up the plugin.php file and the error points to a line in the apply_filters function.

I use a custom theme but I checked under Twenty Fifteen as well and got the same result.

I deactivated all other plugins and the problem persists.

Here are the obligatory questions answered;

1. Which version of WordPress are you running?

2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install?
Directory

3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?
Root on server / subdirectory on localhost (I have two copies for emergencies like this but this time both are behaving badly)

4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version?
Yes, 4.1
