Something really nasty happened

[Milena]

I was stupid enough to upload a “buddypress likes” plugin. I wanted to try adding likes to my posts and custom posts, making the whole site facebooky.
Well that was a mistake. (Do not ever ever use that stupid plugin!!)
It broke my blog page – now the page shows a static html for activity – and if I disable buddypress- a blank page.
To fix it I:
1. spoke to my hosting service, they didn’t know what to do.
2. switched to another theme- issue was gone. (I am using buddyboss child- in buddyboss it was ok)
3. Since I had no idea which file got eaten by buddypress likes (I thought maybe it was a WP file) I re-installed WP. On the way I discovered why my activity page was not working earlier (so some light there) but- the blog page remains broken.
4. I tried renaming the page, clearing the cache, all that stuff- no escape.
Page looks like the image attached.

Since I have a new everything but my child theme that I uploaded from a backup, I think it is one of the files in there that got corrupted.
I hope someone can tell me (hopefully @tjchester) which file is responsible for the blog page – in the child theme.
Thank you:)

Solved by deleting some php files from the child theme. probably one of them got corrupted. Anyway, bad bad plugin (buddypress likes).

Maybe Buddyboss theme/wall can extend it’s likes to under the WP posts, forum topics and custom posts?
That would be really great to create a uniform coherent site, one that makes total sense.

Buddypress allows you to comment on activity steaming forum and blog posts, but this I feel only distracts the user from pressing and entering the actual content. Having this functionality inside the posts/ forums- would also allow sharing – other users will see what you liked, but it will be interconnected, and therefore awesome.
