 * I get this error over and over and over and it quickly fills up the error log.
 * You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your
   MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near ‘WHERE group_id IN (1)
   AND is_confirmed = 1 AND (is_admin = 0 AND is_mod = 0 A…’ at line 1 for query
   SELECT user_id FROM WHERE group_id IN (1) AND is_confirmed = 1 AND (is_admin 
   = 0 AND is_mod = 0 AND is_banned = 0) ORDER BY date_modified DESC made by require_once(‘
   wp-load.php’), require_once(‘wp-config.php’), require_once(‘wp-settings.php’),
   do_action(‘init’), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, bbp_init, do_action(‘
   bbp_init’), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, bbp_register, do_action(‘
   bbp_register’), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, bbp_register_post_types,
   do_action(‘bbp_register_post_types’), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters,
   bbPress::register_post_types, current_user_can, user_can, WP_User->has_cap, apply_filters(‘
   user_has_cap’), WP_Hook->apply_filters, Zqe\Genealogical_Tree_Admin->bp_manage_capabilities,

 * Hello [@ghassell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ghassell/) I think you’re
   missing a table that’s related to a BuddyPress instance. Most likely `bp_groups_members`
   is missing. Check your tables and see if that one’s there.

 * Sometimes it is sufficient to deactivate and reactivate the plugin in question,
   which sets the missing tables. If there was relevant content in these, it would
   be advisable to import a backup.
