Hey Boone, any ideas on how I would figure out if it’s some old residual plug-in debris that’s causing the problem? I know I ought to go through and clear out the left-overs from long abandoned plugins, but I haven’t yet.

Thanks for the reply, Boone. In my wp_bp_invite_anyone I have the following fields:

id
inviter_id
email
message
group_invitations
date_invited
is_joined
date_joined
is_opt_out

Is that all that should be there? Thanks.

One quick thought: not sure where the plugin looks to verify if messages were sent, but might my use of the WP-Mail-SMTP plugin confuse it?

Thanks, Paul. I’ll upgrade at the end of the week and let you know if that doesn’t fix it. Cheers.

One quick note: I learned the hard way that this hack I added causes trouble if the group doesn’t have a forum: it bounces people who hit the group’s link back to the front page if there’s no /fourm address for the group. Confusing for users. Oops. Guess I need to be more sophisticated with […]

Thanks, r-a-y. I’d followed the instructions in the post you shared, but the only files I’d modified so far in my child theme were in the root folder for the theme. Sounds like I can selectively do other folders deeper down. Thanks for explaining.

@r-a-y: you’re absolutely right, but I’m new at this. Do I have to copy all the files to my child theme in any folder where I change even one file, or can I just create a “groups” folder in my child theme (I already have one) and add only the one file I’ve changed? Thanks.

Ok, I figured out a “hackish” temporary sorta-fix. If you go to the groups-loop.php file (/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/groups-loop.php) And on line 28 add “forum” (no quotes, and no space) after where it says bp_group_permalink() ?> . . . the link from the groups page will automatically send people to the forum page.…[Read more]

hnla: having another look at this code, I realize that it looks familiar: in fact I’ve already added this in to my functions.php file. Unfortunately, it addresses something different. This code puts a link to each group’s forum in the group loop. What I’m trying to do is make it so when people visit a […]

hnla: Thanks for sharing this! Pardon the rookie question, but I’m not sure where to add this code. I’m guessing it’s in the groups-loop.php file, but I’m guessing it matters where, precisely, I put it.

Matt and Steve: will definitely share here if I figure something out anywhere other than in this thread. I’ve already toyed around with the template files a bit, but to no avail.

So, does no response mean that this is impossible (or really difficult), or does it mean I’ve asked a bonehead question and everybody is rolling their eyes? If the latter, please say so and I’ll keep poking through the codex to try to figure it out. Thanks, all.
