Just updated to 1.9.8 and it threw a fatal error. I fixed that by replacing the WPForo folder with a previous install. Moved everything over to a clone and it did the same thing. This is on a ClassicPress install and things have been working great up until this update. Please help me figure out what I am missing. Here is what its showing;
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method wpdb::db_server_info() in /var/www/html/warc/wp-content/plugins/wpforo/wpforo.php:118 Stack trace:

hi @kwinkidink,
Please make sure your WordPress version is 5.5.0 and higher, or don't update wpForo. We'll try to make it compatible with lower version of WordPress in next update.
Ok, we've updated the core files in wordpress.org plugin directory. You should deactivate (not uninstall) wpForo, then delete the plugin and install it again.
