Hello, thank you for your work. I just started testing BuddyPress 14.0.0-RC1 To immediately clarify and rule out any issues related to my theme, I checked everything again using the Twenty Twenty-Four theme with all third-party plugins disabled. In fact, in version 14.0.0-RC1, it is impossible to join groups from the group listing page; an error occurs – “Error joining this group.” From the group page, pressing the join button elicits no response.
Hi @koka777
Thanks for your feedback. I just tested and wasn’t able to reproduce.
Theme: Twenty Twenty-Four
BP Template pack: Nouveau & Legacy (tested with both template packs)
No other plugins than BuddyPress
No custom code into wp-content/mu-plugins or wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php
I created a public group being logged as an Admin.
I created a subscriber, logged in as this subscriber, went to the Groups directory, clicked on the join button.
Result: the join button turned into a leave button and I was successfully added as a member of the group.
I created a group being a subscriber, logged out then logged in as an Admin. I was also able to join a group from the Groups directory.
Can you explain just like I did above, the steps you are doing to get the “Error joining this group.” message?
Please make sure to deactivate any plugins, custom code, and activate a WordPress default theme like Twenty Twenty-Four.
I also tested with Playground and it’s behaving as expected for me: clicking on the join button from the groups directory is adding the member to the group.
Here’s the link to test:

Hello @imath, I have reviewed everything once again and concluded that the problem was with the BuddyPress Default Data plugin that I use to add demo content. As you mentioned earlier, if you create a group manually, the join and leave buttons in that group work correctly. Meanwhile, groups created using the BuddyPress Default Data plugin give an error – “Error joining this group.” Also, I reverted to version 12.5.1, where all groups can be joined and left without problems. Therefore, I conclude that the BuddyPress Default Data plugin is not compatible with the latest version.
