buddyboss + learndash error

Hi @michaelm89

this happens because the plugin buddyboss-platform calls the class “LearnDash_Settings_Section”, but that class is defined in the plugin Learndash.

When a plugin calls a function or a class that is defined in another plugin, it should first check if that function or class exists.
In this case they had to write something that looks like:

if( class_exists( ‘LearnDash_Settings_Section’ ) ){
//Their code here
}

But they have probably written something that looks like

if Learndash is active then run the code… (the wrong syntax, just to show what I mean)

If on a page you disable Learndash using Freesoul Deactivate Plugins, because they improperly check if Learndash is active, in their code it looks like Learndash is active, but it isn’t on that page. If this is the problem you should solve it by updating version 1.8.8.7.3 and adding this line of code in wp-config.php:

define( 'FDP_REMOVE_FILTERS_BEFORE_FIRST_PLUGIN',false );

Add the line above before the comment /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

To update to 1.8.8.7.3 do the following:
– Download the zip from https://downloads.wp.xz.cn/plugin/freesoul-deactivate-plugins.1.8.8.7.3.zip
– Go to the plugins page
– Click on add new
– Click on the upload plugin
– Confirm you want the new version

After updating the plugin check if it has also updated the mu-plugin going to the plugins page => Must-use. You should see version 1.8.8.7.3 also there.

Please, let me know if it works.
