found my problem (for anyone with similar problems). My memory_limit was set too low. Thanks for the help.
ok, so I did a fresh install of wordpress and began to install each plugin one-by-one. Here’s an update on what’s happening:
– Buddypress released a new version Feb 5th (yesterday) with a new component or something.
– I get a blank page as soon as I activate Buddypress with bbpress (no other plugins or themes installed).
– WooCommerce works with bbpress until I install a specific theme but I will take that up with the theme.
I’m going to post this thread in BuddyPress forums to see if they are aware of what’s going on but any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
