@chuckclose1 I don’t see any options to stop creating groups… Were you using this for buddypress or just wpmu?

I need to have a button on a post so that a user can click on it to initiate a private message to a specific user. Anybody know if this is possible?

I believe I have found a solution! Found it here: http://ghostpool.com/support/topic/buddypress-groupsforums-creation-problems All I know is my groups are now being created and that’s a very, very good thing. Here’s what the author of the above links suggests adding to functions.php: ` // Disable Thickbox To Prevent BuddyPress Conflict add_action(…[Read more]

@bigtweet @bigtweet, related to the buddypress group creation issue we were experiencing, do I understand that I just need to check that all of my css images indeed work? And using the Live HTTP Header Firefox plugin may give me a shortcut to seeing the specific error that’s happening? Appreciate your work on this. It definitely looks very…[Read more]

@dasnipe unfortunately that fix was only temporary… there was an error in the next step:( but I just found out once I deactivated buddypress welcome pack plugin it started working again. I’m hoping to now find a fix for that as I really like that plugin…

You’re a saint. I understand if you can’t get to it. If it helps at all, see where I drilled down to in the code on page two of this forum topic: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/group-creation-error-are-you-sure-you-want-to-do-this. Also, is this plugin sanctioned as a goto method for creating…[Read more]

Paul, it was happening before 1.2.6 upgrade… I have seen some other reports, are there any resolutions to the matter overall or anywhere you can point me? Thanks for the quick reply!

I’ve got a custom template working 99% with BuddyPress Template Pack. But there’s a bug in how the group is being created. I’ve narrowed it down to the fact that cookies are failing. The group was created in the db but step two isn’t carrying over the group id via the cookie that’s supposed to […]

well, I had to do some hacking in when and how it would reset the cookies… from this: ` /* If no current step is set, reset everything so we can start a fresh group creation */ if ( !$bp->groups->current_create_step = $bp->action_variables ) { unset( $bp->groups->current_create_step ); unset( $bp->groups->completed_create_steps ); setcookie(…[Read more]

bp_is_group_creation_step() is failing. inside there if ( !bp_are_previous_group_creation_steps_complete( $step_slug ) ) is failing… inside there, return bp_is_group_creation_step_complete( $previous_steps ); is failing… inside there if ( !$bp->groups->completed_create_steps ) is failing… Which means that step two is not storing that it has…[Read more]

Deleted groups in bp_groups (I had blank rows as well) and didn’t fix the issue. Disabled all themes (except for BuddyPress Template Pack). I’ve seen this in two or three forums now with no real resolution… Guess I’ll go diving into the code:(
