Thank you @DJPaul, good to see plain normal text again

You’re welcome @eor

@eor glad to help:-) Btw, in your WP.org forum thread, point to this topic in post, then click on resolved in right sidebar of your topic in WP.

As for the issue of the no-www domain name not redirecting to your www domain name, it’s a matter of server with mod_rewrite rules and htaccess. WP 3.0 should have handled www and no-www of domain name based on what you have in your wp-admin/options-general.php’s “Home address url” and “Blog address url” which normally should be the same.

@mercime thanks for linking to the thread I’ll mark this as resolved for the OP

Wish I could track through a series of events but this issue tends to be noticed at such a time when any events or steps to recreate the issue have faded from memory, also I have four primary installs used for testing and two customized installs so tend to forget which one I was working on. In this instance though I do remember it did happen a further time on a production site that I had uploaded and configured this was configured as multi site using subfolders .

I would suggest that perhaps not paying attention and activating BP then going to front end creating a few test groups then realising that I hadn’t set up the forum going back and setting up the forum tables might result in the previous created groups perhaps showing links to forum create topic yet not having a group forum ID to be able to reference the topic to, that would be testable but I would have to set up a fresh install.

So are you a wannabe Mondrian? Not sure and while I tend towards the view that this is a user induced error I’m not 100% convinced there isn’t something else happening and perhaps some form of try/catch that could be implemented to better handle the issue – if of course one could identify the cause in the first place!

I would tell of where to put it in correct location, but I think @mercime would like to but in front of me

No worries @eor, Yamidoo theme has sidebar style which affected the floats, add this to your theme’s style.css
`div#sidebar div.item-avatar {
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
clear: none;
float: left;
}`

@gunju2221 no offense, I had the suspicion that eor’s active theme’s css was affecting the style I gave in WP.org thread, and it did with the clear: both in sidebar divs in addition to item avatar div needed to be reined in and floated

@DJPaul @boonebgorges why is text bold?

@eor, is does work, but where exactly are you putting the CSS?

@mercime, the CSS I provided fixes the problem. This issue only happens when they are not using a buddypress default theme.

I had the same issue and I added this, it it fixed the problem.

@eor as mentioned in this thread, site url?

Btw, why is text bold?

Hi there. Good to see that hnla’s solution in BP forums worked for you. Had not encountered that problem before in MU/MS with BP installs

@hnla curious whether the installs where you had problem/s creating a topic from group forum is on a single WP install? Based on gunju2221’s bb-config.php, I see that it’s on single WP. And if your install is single WP as well, could be a problem endemic to single WP’s requiring bug report. Or maybe I am seeing an abstraction where it doesn’t exist

@johnsoce18

Have you checked that everything under “Buddypress” > “Component Setup” in your WP backend is set and active?
Have you setup forums under “Buddypress” > “Forum Setup”?

@dwenaus thank you very much for this code, it works awesome!
I’m missing one feature though, when you click “create a new thread” you can’t chose the private/hidden groups, it would be great if you could add this.

BuddyPress shouldn’t cause these problems. I would suggest you check/repair the database tables, as that seems a more likely cause of these problems. I imagine that if you disable BuddyPress, you’ll still have these problems. If, however, disabling BuddyPress fixes everything, delete all of your BuddyPress files and re-upload.

@hnla, Why don’t you just delete the topic maun?

@gunju2221 Ah you found the thread. See I knew it would work

You only need do this with the groups that have not been created successfully but if that means quite a few then ‘m afraid it will just have to be done for each, why it happens ? not sure but it’s possibly a mis-sequence of events.

Can I ask that you pop back to the original thread and just add a footnote comment to round things up and close the thread, might be kind to add a link back to this one as threads can be difficult to locate and the more links the easier it is to stumble across
