We paid a developer years ago to install bbpress onto our website to create a forum. Now, after years of no success with this, we would like to uninstall from our site. But everytime we deactivate bbpress our entire site goes down. How can we remove this from our site without breaking it?

It sounds as though the developer has put functions in your functions file that are looking for bbpress.

When you say you site goes down – exactly what happens – do you get a fatal error or what exactly happens?

Hi,
bbPress should be one of the easiest plugins to install, so it’s a pity to see you leave. Please remember to clean before deactivating (then of course this will not solve your issue that the site goes down, but it’s better to have a clean database): https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/installing-bbpress/deleting-bbpress/

Come back anytime if you want to consider bbPress again.
