Hello newbie here, struggling through all the codex and forums etc., but have now resorted to a public plea…

I am unable to create groups. I get “There was an error saving group details. Please try again.” If I get to settings, I cannot get past it without that error. (I did select public group.)

Adding to this puzzle, the group title shows up in the forum — twice. And under groups, it says 3 or 4 groups.. Ditto “my groups.”

And I don’t see any place on the dashboard to deal with this.

Any ideas?

I manged to go ‘back’ enough times in the browser to delete one of the multiple group listings, so the count is now firmly at three (and only one listing of the group in the forum). But I cannot post to the group – which may be the most logical thing about this.

I just may cry.

Still hoping for direction/assistance on this!

Change to bp-default theme and see if creation of groups and posting to group forum works.
If that doesn’t work, help us help you.

When I received no responses and searches turned up nothing, I scrapped everything & started all over. I had tried the default theme, deactivated pulg-ins one by one, etc., but no luck. So far, I’ve got just MU and BP up and it’s working… As I add plugins, a different theme, I’ll do it one at a time and see. No offense, but I hope I don’t have to come on back
