I’d like to know where the Join Group button went. I noticed this after I upgraded BP… I don’t see it anywhere on my site. I’ve tried joining a group manually by adding /join and /join-group in the URL but that isn’t working. Am I missing something?

Make sure “Groups” is enabled under “Buddypress” > “Component Setup”.

Yep, it is.

Nevermind, I figured it out. After upgrading, I always replace some of my theme files… I replaced the functions.php file in /bp-themes/bp-default/ which caused the problem, so I got the “new” functions.php and it fixed it. Sorry lol

Use a child theme next time and it won’t happen: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Hi, Not sure if you can help me but I have also lost the join group button from both the group listing page and also the main group home page.

I am not sure where they have gone or how to fix it.

@crewpass This is an old topic which has been resolved sometime ago. You’ve posted at https://buddypress.org/support/topic/join-group-button-missing-from-groups-directory/#post-146019 so please continue there. Closing this thread.
