– WP/BP versions?
– Are you on Windows or Linux server?
– Have you changed to bp-default theme?
– Have you deactivated plugins except BuddyPress to isolate issue/s?
– Did you install WP via fantastico/simplescript/or other webhost script? It’s not going to work with BP.

Maybe I do it all wrong, but I’ve found that on WP when I have an issue with a plugin, I end up going to the plugin page (e.g. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/) hoping to find answers in FAQ, notes etc. If I don’t find answers there, I click on “Forum Posts” link on the page, which takes me to posts tagged for that plugin e.g. https://wordpress.org/tags/buddypress and then if I click Add New, I find that the plugin tag is already added (and plugin name automatically appears in topic title too..except in case of bbpress and buddypress).
Because WordPress.org forums works like this for plugins, and because Buddypress is a WP plugin, I think that a more vibrant discussion at https://wordpress.org/tags/buddypress might even encourage more WordPress users to use BuddyPress. (more posts, frequent posts, fresh posts are usually, correctly or incorrectly, perceived as good support).
Add to this the fact that the forums on buddypress.org plain suck! They suck!
Don’t get me wrong here. People are fantastic and I’ve experienced volunteers jump to help out…and that’s brilliant.
But from the perspective of usability, Buddypress.org forums suck, probably because Buddypress forums suck…I don’t know for sure…I’ve been exploring and reading for weeks and haven’t yet installed Buddypress myself….but I did read in Buddypress website somewhere that Buddypress includes a watered-down forum…
Anyway, the point of this long winded post is that it surely would be nice to have a single place for support, that WP.org forums are a better candidate for such a single place, and that the team should consider merging the support…
!!!
I put the buddypress plugin to work so you can see
in http://www.writersboutique.net, if you press on a posts link or a category, it does not find it
now go to
http://www.writersboutique.net/boaz, you can see the posts, but sure not on the categories because those are from the main blog….

As a follow-up, I disabled all plugins except buddypress network-wide.
btw, I am not using bp-default, having a theme (unspoken) for main blog, for other blog using a child theme of the main theme. for bp i am using bp-template-pack.
i tries buddypress with all plugins deactivated, no go….

Hi all,
I modified the code from DuableLLC a bit to check for roles. I post it in case someone is looking for a solution like that:
This function goes in the functions.php
`// to exclude only defined roles in the Buddypress Members LOOP
function exclude_by_role($exclude_roles) {
$memberArray = array();
if (bp_has_members()) :
while (bp_members()) : bp_the_member();
$user = new WP_User( bp_get_member_user_id() );
$user_role = $user->roles[0];
foreach ($exclude_roles as $exclude_role) {
if ($exclude_role==$user_role) {
array_push($memberArray, $user->ID);
break;
}
}
endwhile;
endif;
$theExcludeString=implode(“,”,$memberArray);
return $theExcludeString;
}`
Then in the template members-loop.php you use:
`$excluded_roles = array (‘administrator’, ‘author’, ‘subscriber’); // this can be any roles you have set up
if (bp_has_members( ‘exclude=’ . exclude_by_role($excluded_roles) . ‘&’ . bp_ajax_querystring( ‘members’ ) ) ) : ?>
`

Thanks, but no go… That was one of the first options that I tired. If you can think of anything else please let me know.
Thanks again for your quick response.
@Al B Here is what I feel you need to do:
1. Click on the Group.
2. Click on “Admin” tab in the group.
3. This should take you to your groups settings. You should see a sub menu showing “Details”, :Settings”, “Avatar:…etc
4. Click on settings and make sure “Enable Discussion Forum” is checked.
5. Save
6. Now if you click on the forum tab you should see something.
I have an existing Buddypress install. I followed all directions for installing the group forums… However I get the following errors when I try to post a NEW TOPIC into the group of my choice…
AT GROUP LEVEL:
– When I click on NEW TOPIC, then try to add a new topic
—- I get the following error: This group does not have a forum setup yet.
AT FORUM LEVEL:
– When I click on NEW TOPIC, then try to add a new topic
I get the following error: Please pick the group forum where you would like to post this topic.
Please help… Been up for 3 days/night straight trying to fix this.
Hi there,
I’ve done clean installation of buddypress & wordpress and I’m getting this bug.
I’ve set groups, members and forums pages as childs of activity, when I go to
activity/members and activity/members/username it works fine but when I go to
activity/forums I’ve got a clean page and when I go to activity/groups the css is all messed up.
Any idea in how to fix this?
I want to split the member and group navigation by type, how can I make it?
Is there any function to do it?
I want to split the navigation in two different menus, one private and another public
Example:
in member:
– Activity, Groups, Profile, Forums – public menu
– Settings, Messages – private menu
How can I do this? Is it possible?
I just re-updated/enabled buddypress after a long break. The wp multisite install started as a WP-MU install a few years ago, and is up-to-date. In the http://design-manifold.com/blogs/ list, I can see a test blog added today, the main domain, and a subdomain blog installed at the dawn of time, but no user blogs installed a few months ago, which are still active. I have tried re-saving permalinks at the main and subdomain levels with no effect. Do I need to force the issue to re-index the network or am I missing something more obvious? Any leads you may will be greatly appreciated.
WP 3.3.1 multisite subdomain
BP 1.5.3.1
– What’s in your .htaccess file?
– Site URL?
– Local notebook server – WAMP, MAMP, XAMPP?
– live site server – Linux/Windows?
– Changed to bp-default theme and deactivated all plugins except BuddyPress?
Why not? 
Not all posts at WP.org forums tagged buddypress have issues specific to BP. In many cases, WP.org moderators have referrred posters to our forums here. In some cases, I’ve referred posters here to multisite forums or third-party plugin and theme forums in WP.org when appropriate. And many plugin and theme devs have their own forums as well.
If your post is unanswered after 24 hours, feel free to bump your topic. 99.9% of those who help out here are volunteers/developers living in different time zones.
Welcome back. Closing and marking as resolved.
This is resolved for me now, please close.
Hello BuddyGuy!
I’m currently testing BuddyPress for our online community, and will be happy to improve our user experience with a great theme.
I currently test Custom Community, but will be happy to have your advice about relevant themes, available with translations and WPML compatible …

Why have support forums in 2 places for buddypress – here and at http://wordpress.org/tags/buddypress?
I think it wastes developers’ time because they have to look in 2 places, and it confuses users who don’t always know where to post/read…
Considering that buddypress is a wordpress plugin, it might better serve the product and all concerned to merge all support into wordpress forums
Thanks a million @mercime.
The renaming of labels is flawless.
I found the solution for my unneccessary tabs in the file “index.php”. Thank you yet again for pointing me towards the right direction
Regards
