Please help?!?

Last week I tried to update my site at work. Everything went fine until I tried to update the Buddy Press plugin. How ever as I updated the website no longer worked and had an error up on screen, I cant remember but I think it was missing argument of some sort. I need to update the site and have done everything but buddypress at this stage. I am currently using the Canvas Theme Im not sure if that has anything to do with it. Please could someone get back to me. Cause if I update to 1.8.1 and it crashes I would really like someone to help me fix this. PLEASE HELP.

Thanks

When you do anything like upgrading an app and you’re not 100% familiar with the process you MUST read the documentation, looking for any guides or instructions to follow.

You are attempting to update a really outdated version of BP, and you cannot do a straight jump to the latest stable:

Read this page and link to upgrade process for 1.2 versions to 1.5
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/upgrading-buddypress/

And strong word of advice, keep current with latest releases of BP in the intervening version releases there have been a few critical security fixes that left un-patched leave your site and others vulnerable
