What version of bbPress are you using? Are you sure it’s active. The check for an active bbPress is simple:
57 function on_activation()
58 {
59 if(!class_exists('bbPress'))
60 {
61 deactivate_plugins(plugin_basename(__FILE__));
62 wp_die( __('Sorry, you need to activate bbPress first.', 'bbpress_notify'));
63 }
So the inexistance of bbPress class is the only thing that would trigger that error.
Oh jeez, I think this is my silly mistake.
I’m using BuddyPress, not bbPress.
I got confused. They are two different plugins? BuddyPress and bbPress?
what is ? 57 function on_activation()
58 {
59
etc.
and where do I find it?
I have the same issue, except I’m not using buddy press, and I’m using the latest version of bbPress.

Hi Katy,
The code snippet above comes from wp-content/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/bbpress-notify-nospam.php (the line numbers on the left may be different with the current version).
It checks for an existing bbPress class, which gets created by wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbpress.php. Please make sure that you have the latest version of bbPress installed and active, otherwise the notify plugin will fail with that error.
Thanks for your reply.
I have V 1.3 of bbPress-notify-nospam installed.(“the modification of the original bbpress”
When I click on the inactive button to make it active, the error message,”Sorry you need…”
comes up.
So I deleted the plugin, then after 20 minutes I uploaded it again the fast (2 click) way this time, but I got the same result.
I also uploaded a different plugin after this, and I was able to activate that plugin.
What do you think I should do?
I’d like to have a look at it myself. Please contact me via email so we can exchange Skype names and chat directly. I’m at vinny [at] usestrict [dot] net.
