text isn’t standard on bbpress – how are you achieving this?
as far as I know buddypress requires bbpress as a forum if you want your social network to have a forum.
BBpress is just a forum, so if you want more than that, then you might need buddypress.
ok, I am not sure what is happening
it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Then come back
bbpress is the forum part of buddypress.
I don’t use buddypress on any of my sites – nothing wrong with it, but my sites are just forum based, and I use ‘bbp private groups’ (which I wrote 🙂 ) to run separate forums where I need to.
Great – glad you are fixed 🙂
ok, it is a function in your child theme’s function file – line 28
Call to undefined function is_bbpress() in /home/storm/sites/wbc1-otiscreative-co-uk/public/wp-content/themes/Divi-Child-Theme/functions.php:28
So who had created that file? as either they or you will need to amend whatever that part of the file is trying to do.
This, though old, still works

Can I ask why you don’t just make your spectators into participants?
ok. You should not get an error when deactivating bbpress, so something is causing this outside of bbpress itself.
You say you get a critical error – I need to know exactly what that says. You might need to turn n debug to get this.
Wordpress doesn’t make this easy !!

so if you decativate ‘PMPro – bbPress Add On’ first and then deactivate bbpress – does that work?
ok, so what bbpress related other plugins do you have if any?
@mike80222 – thanks -interesting – I thought bbpress just pulled the name from the database user nickname field, maybe it doesn’t or that plugin doesn’t actually change that value
what other plugins do you have ?
bbpress just uses the wordpress display name, so any wordpress plugin that changes this should work eg
Easy Username Updater
it maybe a dependant plugin issue? ie an additional plugin which needs bbpress
so the standard fault finding applies viz…
it could be a theme or plugin issue

I don’t really understand the purpose of giving Forums numbers:
I’m not quite sure where you are seeing this – what are your permalinks set to
dashboard>settings>permalinks
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login
can be done, but presume you would only want it for that part8cular page, so would need some bespoke coding
The content is there, but masked by a css of ‘entry-title’ which is making the text white, so white on white background does not show.
Beyond my free help to work out how to fix – sorry !
so what does home>forums show?
so how are you switching the user – eg
dashboard>users>edit user
or elsewhere?
persistence pays off 🙂 glad you found the issue, and thanks for reporting back.
can you share the error message?
