Can anyone please help with this issue?
I cant see the problem here at all
Dave
Just be clear – you have Group Creation – all users selected on
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-settings
When you try to create a group, are you logged in an admin or some other role?
Try both.
>I have tried with deaulft twenty ??? theme, and disabling ALL plugins – no change.
Do you have any code in plugins/bp-custom.php ?
>2) I press continue and i am faced with blank under the settings tab
Do a view source on the page and see it the form is there but not visible for some reason.
Hi,
Yes creation is enabled for all users.

[edited for length]
<div class=”entry-content”>
<div id=”buddypress”>
<form action=”http://csuni.org/home/groups/create/step/group-settings/” method=”post” id=”create-group-form” class=”standard-form” enctype=”multipart/form-data”>
<div class=”item-list-tabs no-ajax” id=”group-create-tabs” role=”navigation”>
1. Details
<li class=”current”><span>2. Settings</span>
<span>3. Forum</span>
<span>4. Avatar</span>
<span>5. Invites</span>
</div>
<div class=”item-body” id=”group-create-body”>
<div class=”submit” id=”previous-next”>
<input type=”button” value=”Back to Previous Step” id=”group-creation-previous” name=”previous” onclick=”location.href=’http://csuni.org/home/groups/create/step/group-details'”/>
<input type=”submit” value=”Next Step” id=”group-creation-next” name=”save”/>
</div>
<input type=”hidden” name=”group_id” id=”group_id” value=”0″/>
</div>
</form>
I suspect a theme issue.
[ I cannot recreate this issue with WP 4, BP 2.1, standard WP theme ]
You’re using BuddyBoss theme – your issue is best addressed to them.
Some hints:
Looking at the page source you provided, several things are missing.
No ul tags, li is opened but not closed, etc.
The form appears but the fields do not.
This is how the first step form fields should appear – compare it to yours.
<div class="item-list-tabs no-ajax" id="group-create-tabs" role="navigation">
<ul>
<li class="current"><a href=".../groups/create/step/group-details/">1. Details</a></li>
<li><span>2. Settings</span></li>
<li><span>3. Photo</span></li>
<li><span>4. Invites</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
Hi, thanks
But..
No the issue persists when i use any theme, even default twenty fourteen.
BuddyBoss does not edit the group creation page.
How could i rectify the problem above? which file should i re-upload?
The template for that page is:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\groups\create.php
what should i change in that file?
i have change to default theme- same problem
deleted and reinstalled buddypress – same problem
im puzzled
@mercime can you help. please?
I thrawled the internet for the past two days looking for a solution to this – and i looked really hard!
Eventually after reading up on a server-side caching system know as Varnish which is enabled by default on my VPS host(Bluehost), i discovered that it some buddypress functionality as mentioned above.
@daveodea
Hello!!! I am having the exact same problem. Is there anyway to get around or disable Varnish on Bluehost in order to fix the group creation problem?
@kesmomo
Which hosting company are you with?
open a chat with support, ask them to temporarily disable Varnish.
See if the problem persists, if it does, tell them to permanently disable it.
@daveodea
Thank you for the advice.
They disabled it and now buddypress groups worked perfectly!!!
