Site giving 500 error getting resolved on disabling bbpress

    My site was giving 500 internal server error and none of the pages were getting loaded. I tried some trial and error method to see whether disabling any plugin resolves the issue and I found that disabling bbpress plugin makes the website load perfectly.
    bbpress forum makes a major part of my website.
    Is there any way I could resolve this issue?

    Latest versions of bbpress, WordPress and all other Plugins.

    so you’ve just upgraded to 2.5.7 bbpress?

    If so, try reverting to 2.5.6

    I also ran into this after updating to 2.5.7.

    When a user was logged in, they could see the site as expected. When logged out an internal server error appeared.

    It also happened if bbPress was the only plugin active on the site. The site has been running bbPress without incident before this for a couple of years.

    Reverting to 2.5.6 does resolve the issue at least until an update can be made.

    I can’t reproduce this issue at all 🙁

    Doesn’t matter what i try I can’t seem to reproduce it.

    Theoretically, your saying if a logged out users views the site it breaks, is this also the case for any visitor visiting your site for the first time?

    Did you try switching back to a default theme? Twenty Fourteen or Fifteen before rolling back bbPress to 2.5.6?

    Any change you have a detailed error message? Anything in your web server logs that may help us track it down?

    While trying the trial and error method of disabling the plugin, I was using tools.pingdom.com/fpt/ to test the website from different server location each time whether it is working or not. And each time it showed a blank page.
    I didn’t try switching back to default theme.
    Going back to bbpress 2.5.6 made everything fine.
    Cpanel error log was totally empty.
