I kept working on this and it looks like updating to PHP7 solved this issue for me! I mean, the errors are still there, but everything is working properly.
This seemed to be an issue with the server’s php. I contacted HostGator, they were kind enough to give, what I hope, was some good insight into this issue.
They recommended I check the error_log file, and there I found this error:
PHP Deprecated: Automatically populating $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. To avoid this warning set ‘always_populate_raw_post_data’ to ‘-1’ in php.ini and use the php://input stream instead. in Unknown on line 0
So I went to the root folder to find the php.ini file. There I changed “;always_populate_raw_post_data = on” to read “;always_populate_raw_post_data = -1” (no quotations).
Then I flushed my browser cache and the errors went away.
However, now when I try loading Elementor I get stuck in infinite loading, so this seems like only half the solution.
Hello, I am getting this exact same error as well. When I try to use Elementor I get a 500 error and must disable bbPress to use Elementor at all.
The bbPress version is 2.5.14, WordPress version 4.8.3. I’ve tried standard themes, that didn’t make a difference. We do have WooCommerce and User Role Editor installed, but I’ve tried deactivating all of them and bbPress is the only one giving me this same exact error.
It’s weird too because I just migrated this from a different server and I wasn’t getting the error there…
