Having the problem that my Forum just isn’t showing up. It’s there in the meno on the admin, alongside everything else. But when I click on it, I just get the grey Chrome page saying “this page won’t load” or “work” or whatever, alongside “HTTP ERROR 500”. No idea what this is, starting to get annoyed. Everything is set up as it should be, but the forum won’t load. When I click on my homepage on the middle “Forums” button: Same story. Just a Chrome error screen, not even a 404 page.

What am I doing wrong?

What happens if you disable all the other plugins?

What about switching your theme to Twenty Fifteen?

(If it works with your other plugins disabled start re-activating each plugin until it fails again, then you’ll have found the plugin causing the conflict)

Thanks for the reply!
Sadly: I have disabled all the plugins and it still doesn’t work. Changing themes also didn’t help. Still getting the same error. (also checked in different browsers).

[@debodeq Participant 7 years, 12 months ago]

This still hasn’t been resolved. Can’t imagine no one has a solution for this … ?

I have the same error

[@jacoblindner Participant 7 years, 10 months ago]

I’m having the same problem… Anyone figured out how to solve it?

[@mattdevelop Participant 7 years, 10 months ago]

Same error here, this happens because of this code

$post_stati = $posts_query->get( 'post_status' );

		// Default to public status
		if ( empty( $post_stati ) ) {
			$post_stati[] = bbp_get_public_status_id();

in \includes\forums\functions.php on line 1800

I have the same problem.

I can’t open page https://airat.biz/forums/ and https://airat.biz/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum
Error 500

I saved Permalinks, reinstalled plugin, but pages still don’t working.

bbPress tools also don’t help

I can open https://airat.biz/forums/ after delete [] in /plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php on lines 1800, 1818, 1832

Old: $post_stati[]
New: $post_stati

And line 1854:
Old: $meta_query[]
New: $meta_query

Can you check it out?

I think this issue with php7 support

Now i have a warning:

[@netweb Keymaster 7 years, 9 months ago]

@airathalitov, as you’re running PHP 7.1 you’ll need to use bbPress 2.6, 2.6 beta-2 is available now, and beta-3 will be released in the next 24 hours, you can grab the download links from this post:

bbPress 2.6 Beta 2

[@airathalitov Participant 7 years, 9 months ago]

@netweb thanks!
bbPress 2.6 Beta 2 is working good.

When will bbPress 2.6 be released?
