BP XProfile WordPress User Sync has always worked fine for situations where I want to enforce real names across the site and need them to stay in sync with WordPress.

If so (and I understand your goal correctly) then you’d need to code the description sync yourself. I didn’t include this in the plugin because of the mismatch between the Rich Text BuddyPress field and the standard textarea in WordPress.

Can you elaborate on…[Read more]

function cbox_remove_forums_from_child_sites( $plugins ) {
if ( is_multisite() AND ! is_main_site() ) {
unset($plugins['bbpress/bbpress.php']);
}
return $plugins;
}

However, this needn’t prevent you from implementing your modifications.

I would, of course, recommend that you work with a child theme so that you leave the parent theme untouched.

Do you have access to the logs at the point where you see the error occur? If not, can you add the following two lines to  ‘wp-config.php’ when WP_DEBUG is true:

define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
