    Hi,

    Out of the blue the bbP private groups plugin started causing 500 error when posting a new topic in a forum. The topic is saved in the DB (meaning you can see it in the topics list) but it isn’t published on a forum.

    Deactivating the plugin fixes this.

    Please look into this and advise what can be done.

    Using WP 4.7.5 with bbpres 2.5.12

    Thanks,
    Yaniv

    Sure, it’s PHP version is 5.3.29

    hmm – that version is no longer supported since 2014, and you should look to upgrade to prevent security bugs

    However I suspect it is not the issue 🙂

    what else has changed that might cause this – eg wordpress or plugin updates etc.

    I’ll look into the upgrading the PHP version.
    Nothing much has changed. Didn’t upgrade yet to WP 4.8 and the only plugin updates I didn’t recently are Yoast SEO, Updraft Backup and Google Analytics – nothing related to bbpress.

    is this posting a new topic in the front end, backend or both ?

    ok, I’ve taken a look and can’t see any obvious issues

    I am not having problems on my test site.

    Can I ask you to go to
    settings>bbp private groups>plugin information
    and email me the info in that tab.

    PLEASE MAKE SUE YOU REFERENCE your name Yaniv Wainer in the email so that I can tie it up with this post

    Contact me via my website contact

    sorry if I put the email in here I get spammed for weeks!!

    Thanks for sending the settings through

    I just want to eliminate any recent changes I have done, so can you

    deactivate and delete the private groups plugin – don’t worry you won’t lose any settings

    go to

    https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/bbp-private-groups/advanced/

    and navigate to Previous versions

    find version 3.4.4 and download this to your PC

    Then in

    dashboard>plugins>add new>browse and upload the 3.4.4 version you downloaded, install and activate

    then retest and come back.

    You can go back to 3.4.9 afterwards if you wish.

    This will tell me if it is a new issue or not.

    I am away for a few days, but will pick this up again next week

    I am having this same issue. I upgraded to WP 4.8 and made sure I was on php5.6 and it did not resolve the issue. Going back to version 3.4.4 of bb_private_groups did resolve the issue for me.

    Sorry for not getting back to you, I was also away for the week.

    I tried what you suggested and version 3.4.4 worked…
