Hello,
We use bbpress, buddypress, and bbp-private-groups in a WordPress installation.
In the Buddypress group settings, the group administrator can also create a forum.
I am looking for a hook to add a specific group from bbp-private-groups to a group forum when creating the group forum:
add_post_meta( $forum_id, ‘_private_group’, ‘group1’, false );.
I tried the hook bbp_insert_forum.
But at that point, the group and the forum are not yet linked.
Does anyone have any idea which hook I can use?
Thank you very much!
IS there any way to increase the contrast here on the site? The light grey on white is a nightmare to try to read (contrast too low).
You might want to contact/ask the developers of the forum plugin that you are utilizing, if you haven’t already.
Our users are wanting to be able to subscribe to both NEW discussions as well as any REPLIES. We have the NEW discussion notifications working as expected. However, it appears that they will only get email notification of REPLIES if they subscribe at the DISCUSSION level (rather than the FORUM). Are there any workarounds? Anything we are missing?
Thank you!
When reviewing the history for this BP Add-on, this appears to be a bug that was first reported in April of 2024 in the WordPress support forum for this plugin. However, it appears that the only action taken was the submission of a GitHub issue #112 that acknowledges the bug and this issue has remained open since that time.
Long story shorter, the fatal error is due to, what appears to be, missing parameters which is unforgiving with PHP version 8.0+. Rolling the PHP version back to 7.4.33 produces PHP errors as a warning and notice for the same file and line number. This bug appears to affect the posting of am image in an activity post; meaning the image is uploaded but does not get attached to the associated activity post. What does seem to work is uploading images from a user’s profile media area (where the image gallery is shown).
All I can suggest at this point is that you deactivate the plugin until a remedy can be found and a new version is released.
Your question is more in line as a support question for the Buddyx theme folks. If you haven’t already tried their support forum for the Buddyx theme.
Furthermore, the first plugin you listed (WP Google Search) provides a search widget that you can add to any of the available widget areas provided by the Buddyx theme, the other plugins you listed may provide a widget as well. This approach might be easier than trying to add relevant code, e.g. a shortcode (if available) to a header file.
sorry, I’m in the wrong forum 😅
I solved it with chatgpt which had made me a plugin to put .html also in the forum (which like buddypress does not depend on the parmalinks that are set on wp).
/%postname%.html
I’m importing an old site that had parmalinks like maysite.com/name-article.html, so I set the parmalinks to /%postname%.html.
But now, since buddypress doesn’t have a / after the %/, it’s breaking the forum tab URLs, even though the buddypress links don’t contain the .html because they don’t follow the custom parmalink rules.
If Permalinks aren’t set with / at the end of /%postname%/ but, for example, /%postname%.html, even though it doesn’t actually affect the BuddyPress URLs, only the posts and pages, when navigating the forum tabs, the / is missing and the URL is broken.
For example: to see a user’s replies, the URL is
/members/ricscaforums/replies/
and not
/members/ricsca/forums/replies/
Just wanted to share a project I’ve been working on, allinop.com. It’s a private collaboration space where you can create invite-only projects with forums, tasks, and shared docs, all simple and distraction-free.
Nothing fancy, but it’s been useful for a few small teams already. Would love any thoughts or feedback if you have a moment.
Thanks for taking a look!
Thank you @emaralive.
Youzify plugin mangles redirect URL. I’ve written to their support forum.

Hi,
Your best option is to flag it in the #buddypress channel on Slack or to flag it in this forum (Request & Feedback), given that posting in any of the forums doesn’t automatically flag a post as spam or as requiring moderation.
That said, your post was automatically flagged for moderation due having 3 links (3 or more links will automatically place your post into moderation). As to how long it will take will depend on whether a moderator notices the post or is made aware of such, as you have done.
Last but not least, I edited your initial post such that the links don’t register as links, basically encapsulated the links within the code tag/element. Additionally, I released your Topic from moderation.
Hi,
in the buddypress activity feed the spacing/linebreaks are removed when publishing the posts.
It would be great if it would keep linebreaks as for example this forum post does.
Would anybody be able to add this to buddypress acticity posts?
Best regards,
flamuren
Hi,

Dear all,
I was checking the tables in the database regarding the Extended Profile that we are asking the members of our website to fill, and realised that there are duplicates in the data table.
How can this happen? Should I create a script outside the plugin to delete duplicates and just make sure that the last one stored will remain?
If I delete the duplicates, will they keep on appearing?
I just wonder, because we have over 200k users, and I’m trying to optimize the database, therefore I’m going throughout all the tables checking for errors from the plugins.
I found this one, is this behaviour normal?
Thank you in advance for all the support.
PS: I create this topic in the forums because I didn’t find any information related to it.
I hope I’m not disturbing here. All the best!
Hello emaralive,
You were right after stop working on this and working on something else I found out a file in y plugins folder that had this code.
BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION set to forums
Removing it resolved my problem without using redirection 🙂
Thank you
I “fixed” this by disabling groups. I’d love to enable groups and have the forums work if anyone has a suggestion 🙂
One more detail: I can still pull up the correct forums using the bbpress shortcode with the correct forum id. Which means I can put it up on a custom page: https://www.thecaregiverspace.org/forums/caring-for-a-client/
However, the navigation within bbpress (breadcrumbs, within the forums themselves) is all screwy.
I’m reviving the old forums on my website, which previously used buddypress and bbpress happily. I updated things a bit, adding groups with their own forums.
Unfortunately, now when buddypress is activated the forums are mapping incorrectly. For example, with buddypress disabled, the forum correctly links to:https://www.thecaregiverspace.org/connect/forum/general-discussion/paid-perspective/
When buddypress is enabled, the forum links to a group forum instead: https://www.thecaregiverspace.org/connect/forum/general-discussion/baby-boom/
Going to the correct forum url directly results in being redirected to the incorrect group forum.
Not all of the forums are mapping to a random group, only a few are.
Any suggestions for how to correct this? Thanks!
Well that’s odd unless someone has used the const keyword to define it. Search for just BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION and see what that finds.
The Bottom line is that this constant is being set to the value of “forum”, just need to find how and where.
Thanks,
BP_GROUPS_SLUG (deprecated), as indicated is deprecated and shouldn’t be defined/used. However, BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION is defined as “forum” which is what is causing the initial 404 redirect (page not found). Apparently, there was a “forum” nav item for any given group and now there is not therefore, that page can’t be found.
Somewhere, perhaps wp-config.php, there is a line that contains define( 'BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION', 'forum' );, find it and either remove it or comment it out and then you won’t need the redirect plugin. Perhaps, the bbPress plugin was previously activated and all groups had “Group Forum” enabled and thus the constant being defined as it was.
BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION — forum
This is what I see.. I also see this..
BP_GROUPS_SLUG (deprecated) — Undefined
Thanks
Hi,
The BuddyPress Featured Members plugin appears to be authored by BuddyDev. Have you tried their support forum?
BuddyDev Support – BuddyDev site
Or
[BuddyPress Featured Members] Support – WordPress Forum
Yup. I have raised the issue on the All in One WP Security support forum.
Thanks.
