Figured it out!!
It was user error.
I used a plugin called ‘Plugin Optimizer’ to speed up the site. I had opted to turn off bbpress under the /groups/* URL when I wasn’t using forums. This was about 6 months ago, and I forgot that this was still set.

All working now after I enabled forums under the groups/* URL.

A little more info – When I enable the setting in bbpress to allow buddypress forums, I still don’t see any forum options on the front end when creating a new group (the option is only on the backend for groups)

I confirmed that the group creates a forum_id in database: value of a:1:{i:0;i:21901;}
And that forum 21901 exists in wp_posts

I also confirmed that the enable_forum value is set to 1 for the group ID in wp_bp_groups

Just adding to master topic tracking this.
I’m seeing similar problems using Mandrill to send email.

Here’s the plugin I’m using: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpmandrill/
I’ve got version 1.33 installed.
Wordpress 4.4.2, Buddypress 2.5, Single Instance wordpress running on nginx

Paul, here’s the plugin I’m using: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpmandrill/
I’ve got version 1.33 installed

Henry, I believe they did, and now require a mailchimp account (or will soon) to use it.

Hey all,
After a few weeks of searching I found the solution to this – it’s a beautiful plugin called Plugin Organizer

You can use it to disable Yoast on buddypress pages and viola!
Just create a plugin filter for site.com/members/*, /groups/*, etc. and you’re golden.
