   Got a bit of a weird error happening - Let me begin

   Yesterday I did a bit of work sorting out my quite frankly flaky forums - Got everything working quite nicely but then I decided to remove the Avatar Upload plugin because I couldn't get it looking nice against the users in the forums in the time I had left

   However having turned it off I then found I couldn't access any of the user profile pages including my own - I just get a completely blank page

   I've removed the calls to show the avatar on the profile page itself but its still falling over

   The site error log is reporting the following:

   [Wed Aug 15 04:24:42 2007] [error] [client 86.158.248.246] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_header() in /home/httpd/vhosts/<sitename>/httpdocs/forums/profile.php on line 1, referer: http://<sitename>/forums/

   Now I know that this simply isn't true - bb_get_header() is part of the core and its more likely that one of the plugins has gone screwy but I've tried turning off the plugins but I've done quite a bit of customisation and the majority of the plugins don't die quietly - they cause major blow-outs if not available so I'm now having to go through all my template code and put if blocks around them to stop them

   The list of plugins I have installed are as follows

   Limit Latest Discussion 0.73
   Simple Onlinelist 1.5
   My Views 0.05
   BBPress Private Messaging 0.80
   Posts since last visit 0.5-beta
   Report Post 0.11
   Avatar Upload 0.8.2
   Private Forums 5.2
   Use Display Name 0.7.2
   bbPress signatures 0.14
   My Views module - Started/Participated Topics 0.05

   Any help would be really appreciated

   First a quick tip: when you customise templates with a plugin function embeded, instead of this:

   <? show_blah(); ?>

   do this:

   <? if (function_exists('show_blah')) { show_blah();} ?>

   and that way if you deactivate a plugin, it will fail quietly and let the page still render.

   Now to address your problem, that error can happen if something is trying to call bb_get_header before bbpress is completely loaded somehow. Or an include could accidentally get renamed. Or some whitespace got inserted at the end of a plugin somewhere (after the ending ?>)

   You need more info. Go into your config.php and add this as the first line or so:
   error_reporting(E_ALL);

   And see what it throws at you.

   Hmmm I'd already added the

   <? if (function_exists('show_blah')) { show_blah();} ?>

   block around stuff and I've added the

   error_reporting(E_ALL);

   To config.php but I'm not getting any more information - its very very odd

   Bumping this up because I still can't get this to work - I've even tried swapping back to the original kakumei template and its being an absolute pig

   Sounds like no amount of messing with the template could save you from this fate. I have no idea why you would have done this, but have you replaced profile.php in the root of bb with a template file? This is what profile.php should look like. (Your custom templates should go in a my-templates/ folder in root.)
   

   <?php
   require_once('./bb-load.php');
   
   bb_repermalink(); // The magic happens here.
   
   if ( $self ) {
   	if ( strpos($self, '.php') !== false ) {
   		require($self);
   	} else {
   		require( BBPATH . 'profile-base.php' );
   	}
   	return;
   }
   
   $reg_time = strtotime( $user->user_registered );
   $profile_info_keys = get_profile_info_keys();
   
   if ( !isset( $_GET['updated'] ) )
   	$updated = false;
   else
   	$updated = true;
   
   do_action( 'bb_profile.php_pre_db', $user_id );
   
   if ( isset($user->is_bozo) && $user->is_bozo && $user->ID != bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' ) && !bb_current_user_can( 'moderate' ) )
   	$profile_info_keys = array();
   
   $posts = get_recent_user_replies( $user_id );
   $threads = get_recent_user_threads( $user_id );
   
   do_action( 'bb_profile.php', $user_id );
   
   bb_load_template( 'profile.php', array('reg_time', 'profile_info_keys', 'updated', 'threads') );
   ?>
