it displays
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_activity_do_mentions() in /data01/ramonbenton/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-filters.php on line 232
You were “working on it”? Doing what? Can you elaborate?
Can you open a console or otherwise access the backend of your site? SSH/FTP, etc.
If you can do that, you’ll want to rename the buddypress folder inside of /data01/ramonbenton/public_html/wp-content/plugins/. Then, you should be able to get into your website, at which point you need to look at the file bp-activity-filters.php on line 232 to see why it’s calling the function bp_activity_do_mentions(), what that function does (if possible), and maybe talk to the makers of the buddypress plugin and see what the problem is.
Of course, this all depends on why the problem is happening in the first place.
Something to check out here:
http://phpxref.ftwr.co.uk/buddypress/src/bp-activity/bp-activity-filters.php.source.html#l232
This website points to the function being at /bp-activity/bp-activity-functions.php on line 26. You might want to check to see if the file’s still there, what the file’s permissions are, etc.
I was looking for a forum plugin for my website but when i installed bb press it just stopped working so i just need to be able to go in and delete the plugin so it works again?
That appears to be one way to solve the problem, yes. You could also go to the BuddyPress Support Website and post your issue there, and see if anybody’s more familiar with your specific issue. It could be a bad version, or missing file. You can try to troubleshoot it, or you can look for another plugin.
Are you able to access your site via ftp or your hosts cpanel? If so, just rename the bp plugin folder temporarily and reload your site.
I am currently awaiting my host to send me my FTP login details i have contacted them but they haven’t been in touch yet, i will post my issue to buddypress support.
Thank you Guys i really appreciate the help!!
If i permanently delete the plugin my site should be up and running again yes?
You should just rename the folder for now. If it fixes the problem, and you don’t want that plugin anymore, then yes, you can delete the folder.
Ok so once i can access FTP and i get the username and password from host, go in and rename the file and then all should be working again and then i can just go in and delete it

Rename the plugin’s folder to anything else. WordPress will automatically deactivate it. Then you can rename it back afterwards.
