Whenever I try to update bbPress I keep getting this error:

Do you have any issues updating WordPRess itself? How about other plugins or themes?

I think you may need to contact your webhost for help with this issue.

Hi Stephen. WordPress and other plugins update without any problems. I have spoken with my web host. They looked at it and said I needed to contact bbPress support. How does uninstalling bbPress modify the database?

[Stephen Edgar]

First, make a backup your database using your webhost site backup, or database backup preference.

Cool, deleting the bbPress plugin will *not* delete anything from your database 🙂

So delete the plugin, and then download and activate bbPress again 🙂

Backup first, because, backup, your data is important, and incase anything else goes wrong you have a backup 🙂

Reinstalling the plugin seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks so much for your help! 🙂

Glad you got it sorted, when the next bbPress update occurs let me know if it fails again and we can look into this further
