Forum not working (can't add a post)

Site is located on a subdirectory at: http://www.mdpp10.lifelinecoaches.com

– WordPress 2.9.2 – New installation

– Buddypress 1.2.3 installed – New installation

– Using a ‘buddypack’ theme (customized for my needs)

OTHER Plugins: Wishlist Membership software

This is a brand-new installation. Was I supposed to install bbpress separately?

I uploaded Buddypress 1.2.3 and then clicked on >Forums Setup and followed it through. It says that it is installed properly. A forum appears to be there, however I cannot add a new topic (well, I type it and it disappears when I hit publish. I do have enabled the forum in the ‘General Settings’ so it isn’t that.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I’m sure I’ve missed a step. Thank you in advance.

Hi Amy,

Try what is outlined here:

thank you Ray, I did try that fix and it didn’t work… BUT I noticed that at the bottom of the ‘post’ that there is a pull down to ‘post to group’ forum’– there are no choices (and there should be two choices as I belong to two groups)… is that part of the problem, or is it a cache issue?

Try visiting your private group and then click on the “Forum” sub-tab to add a new forum post.

WOW! That worked! Actually, I’d prefer just having members go through their group to post on the forum… is there any way to suppress the ‘forum’ page link from the navigation?

Copy over header.php from /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/ to your theme’s folder.

Remove the forums link through there.
