Hi,
What version of WordPress and bbPress are you using ?
Pascal.

Some extra questions:
– What is the WordPress and bbPress version you are using ?
– When you activate the plugin, does it deactivate automatically or it stays active ?
– Do you see ‘Tools > bbP Tookit’ and ‘Forum > Subscriptions’ ?
– Can you access /wp-admin/tools.php?page=forums_toolkit ?
Pascal.
WP: 4.7.3
bbPress: 2.5.12
Now it is throwing this Fatal error when trying to activate:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /wp-content/plugins/bbp-toolkit/includes/subscriptions.php on line 96
I tried deactivating my plugins and still got the error.
Do you have ‘Forums’ in your menu in the backend ?

OK, I think I found it. What PHP version do you have ?
This seems to happen on very very very, yes very old PHP versions like 5.2/5.3 or so.
If it’s a local install, upgrade your PHP immediately. If it’s a provider, please check with them to get your PHP upgraded.
If you have a more recent version of PHP, let me know and I look further.

So, to fix this for now:
– try to access /wp-admin/tools.php?page=forums_toolkit
– If you get to this page, click on ‘Basic System Info’, scroll to the bottom and click on ‘Upgrade to latest trunk version’
If you cannot access that page, you will first have to edit the main file of the plugin, that is: /wp-content/plugins/bbp-toolkit/bbp-toolkit.php
Somewhere around line 59 you will find:
include(BBPT_PLUGIN_DIR . '/includes/subscriptions.php');
Change this line to
// include(BBPT_PLUGIN_DIR . '/includes/subscriptions.php');
And save the file
If you cannot edit the file, you will have to uninstall and reinstall the plugin or wait some days for v1.0.10 to come so you can upgrade.
Thanks for getting back. Yes, it appears we are running an older version of PHP and will ask the host to upgrade us. I will let you know if that doesn’t fix the issue.
Thank you for your quick response!
