the answer is here (if you’re using BP 1.5): https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/changing-group-tab-display-defaults/?topic_page=3&num=15

@andrewteg, I’m using 1.5. Perhaps thats why its not working? If that changes things and there’s a way to do this for 1.5, I’d like to hear it, and I’ll stick with Buddypress. If not, I’ll drop Buddypress and switch to bbPress.

I’ll send you FTP info for the plugins folder now.

@andrewteg, I tried the code you provided but nothing new happened. then i got rid of the comment-outs (i think I did it the right way) and I pasted in this code (http://pastebin.com/HY9zwhHg) but that didnt work either.

i will give that plugin a shot though because all I really want is the forums. Though I do need to be able to occasionally e-mail all the forum members. hopefully it will let me do that.

anybody???

@andrewteg, thanks but no dice. I only have the bp-custom.php file in there. nothing in functions.php about it. but still no change. i viewed the groups when logged out, and when logged in and the Home tab is still the default.

please advise. thanks.

@andrewteg, or anyone else that may be able to help. i’ve tried this method, and installed the code verbatim but it’s had no effect on my site.

here’s a group on my site: http://willowbilliards.com/groups/general-discussion-forum/. You can see that it starts you off on the “Home” tab, not the Forum tab which is what I’d like to do.

here’s the code in my /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php file: http://pastebin.com/pxCWxeie
here’s the code in my /wp-content/themes/bp-child/functions.php file: http://pastebin.com/Kqyvpe8h (it’s the bottom function).

please advise what’s wrong. thanks!

adding the tag “buddypress” seems to have done the trick. thanks!
