 Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function
 bp_get_group_permalink() in
 ..\plugins\bbpress\includes\extend\buddypress\groups.php:616

 The issue is specific to bbPress, but errors are due to BuddyPress.

 I believe we can improve by avoiding fatal errors due to the removal of
 deprecated functions from BuddyPress, as the removal of all of them
 defeats the purpose of defining them in the first place.

 We can keep loading deprecated functions up to the last major version
 update, e.g., v12.0 contain all deprecated functions after v11.0 without
 defining the following constant; it will avoid fatal errors like the above
 and give developers time to improve their codes and 3rd party
 dependencies.

 define( 'BP_LOAD_DEPRECATED', true );
