Oh, and I’ve tried changing the theme but I’m still getting the same error 🙁
I have been on your site 6 times, and seen the error twice. It comes and goes, so is unlikely to be pure code related, as that stuff either works or doesn’t.
There seems to be a bit of buz about at the moment about a similar error, in particular for go-daddy customers
eg

although both refer to a different line, and maybe entirely unrelated, but posted just in case.
Let us know if this is you also?
Yes, my site is on Godaddy. I called them and apparently one of the other pluggins I had installed wasn’t getting along with bbPress. Unfortunately I don’t know which one… Now the forum is working… except… when I search for something if turns a completely blank page. The same happens when I click on the author. Any ideas what might cause this?
Turn off all other plugins, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.
That function calls wp_get_current_user() so it might be related to the $current_user global. WordPress’s get_currentuserinfo() function calls wp_set_current_user() which overrides the global with fresh data.
It’s plausible some other plugin is loading the current user too early, or that it’s trying to initialize WordPress more than once via a subsequent call to $wp->init().
It’s unlikely that bbPress is directly causing this, as bbPress doesn’t do any of the above things on its own. It does however reference currently logged in user data quite liberally using WordPress’s built in API functions, so it’s not entirely impossible.
Keep us posted, and we’ll try to help out where we can.
