I am unable to find a post new topic button or text box to post in my forums. Im guessing something may need adding to the appropriate file. Your advice is welcomed.

maybe a theme issue? try using the dp-default as a baseline

Sorry, I dont quite understand how buddypress works. Could you advise on what template files I need to be looking for to get this working. I would like to add button for new topic.

Rich is suggesting you try reverting to BuddyPress default theme (as you should for most problems) – so you can isolate the problem.

Do your forums work using the default theme?

If not, have you set them up correctly: https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/using-an-existing-bbpress-installation/

Ah ok. Thanks for the help

yes they work with the default theme. The problem is with the new theme the post buttons are missing. What file would I need to find and edit to add a post new topic button ? I would like to add a new topic button in several places, like it is on this forum we are using currently..
