Forums.php:53
WPF()->forum->tree( 'front_list', true, WPF()->current_object['forumid'], false );
But add the "wpForo Online Members", "wpForo User Profile & Notifications", and "wpForo Search" all successfully without any error!
What PHP version are you using?
Ok, is this a WPML site?
Can you disable some plugins one by one and check?
@dimalifragis Not a WPML site, I tried disable all plugins to check.
Even I rebuilt a clean website (all setting and database are default) with wordpress v6.5.2...the error is still there.
This is strange. Have you tried the default theme, or a different theme?
Hi @shen-hsu ,
Could you please install the Classic Widget and try it again.
Also, try to deactivate, delete and install wpForo again. Do not use the Uninstall button.
@robert After I install and active the "Classic Widget" you suggested, now I add them the error no longer appears.
The "wpForo Forum", "wpForo Recent Posts" and "wpForo Recent" appear in wpForo's sidebar normally.
Thank you so much!
