    Hi,

    I’m attempting to set up a community for a client using CBOX. The community will require the use of bbPress, which was on by default, however, I was poking around with the set up of BuddyPress and I visited the inactive plugins tab, and enabled the forum compnonent (under settings > buddypress).

    After clicking save, the entire installation, front and back end is now throwing a fatal error:

    Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in/home/appround/public_html/wp-includes/widgets.php on line 777

    I can only assume that this is caused by CBOX already using the bbPress plugin for wordpress? So, activating the BuddyPress Forum Component seems to be conflicting with CBOX… I think…

    Thankfully, I had just made a snapshot of the database about 20 mins before, so I didn’t lose much work, but this proved so difficult to trace I ended up having to rollback the database. 🙁

    Hi Greg,

    You’re correct that the problem is between the bbPress plugin and BuddyPress’ built-in Discussion Forums component.

    To solve this, disable the BP’s “Discussion Forums” component from the “Settings > BuddyPress” page and you should be okay again.
