BuddyPress

Hello,
I’m working with WordPress MU 2.8.6 and Buddypress 1.1.3

I have successfully set up forums under the buddypress menu. However, when I set up a group (and enable discussion forums) I am still unable to post a new topic. I click on the “post new” link and nothing happens. Help most appreciated.

thanks
Michelle

Hi, any clues on what I might have missed out yet?

Hi Michelle,

I think I know where the problem lies.. BuddyPress 1.1 does not need the BPPress integration plugin and it might actually cause problems. So I would advise you to uninstall BuddyPress completely remove buddypress (also remove the BuddyPress tables from the database) and disable and delete the BB integration. Then install BP again and activate the forum component on your BuddyPress admin page.

Let me know if this helps

Do you know the names of the BBPress template pack tables so i can delete them from my DB?

Thanks,

This is the page that is not working:

Same issue here…new install and can’t add forum topics as bp doesn’t list groups in the dropdown menu.

sorted it.

1 – go to forum settings in MU admin and click ‘re-install’
2 – select ‘Set up a new bbPress installation’ (simple on click thing, not as scary as it sounds)
3 – Complete Installation and set up a new group and start a forum post.

should now work ok.

I’m having this issue as well. I have followed iainnorman’s instructions however the problems are still there. I can actually click the set new topic button however it showed a blank page at the end.
You guys can view the problem at this url : http://club-aus.co.cc
