Thanks! I was worried because even the search box above wasn’t helping me. But as you mentioned, Google is indexing these pages VERY FAST. That’s good.
Maybe as a stopgap arrangement you could consider placing a Google site search box around here. Just a suggestion
Site URL? Test user’s username and password?
I understand your concern. Apologies for the inconvenience.
In the meantime Google is our friend. Google e.g “buddypress.org sooskriszta forums – my activity” and this page is already indexed. You can bump your topic if unanswered after 24 hours.

I am already registered at testbp.
The concern is that I when I ask questions here, how do I keep track? If some questions are not answered for a few days, how do I find them again upon my visit to these pages, say, in a week?
@mercime This is how it is already set up. Still the same problem I’m afraid.
Thank you. We know. The issues will be addressed when possible.
To see test site of BuddyPress, go to http://testbp.org
@ssoskriszta – just to note that you’ve got a better chance of being helped over at WP.org forums for that specific plugin – https://wordpress.org/tags/bwp-recaptcha
Missed this instruction:
Go to admin dashboard menu Settings > Forums > Archive Slugs > Forums base — should be the slug you used for your forums page, support
i have the same issue. i have also in the wp admin menu only settings, profile fields, components and pages! i use wp 3,2,1 and buddypress 1,5,1 with sitewide forum. forum is simple press. bbpress didnt worked out. so i deactivated it. in the user bar i cant find the genaral groups page. as user or as admin. i have to put site.com/groups manually to see the groups listing page and create link! activitypage also. i mean the genaral pages. there are menus for member releated groups and activity. but genaral member list link is also missing: site.com/members. whats wrong?
@mercime so I have re-enabled /ticked the box, selected the support page, checked the slug is ok, all is fine, rerun permalinks, cleared cache and the link doesn’t work. I have tried entering meetinbradford.org/support and also tried the link, neither seem to work.
I notice that now, when I go to archive slugs > forums base : it states that there is a possible conflict with Support page
@mericme – when I follow your last step to the Buddypress>pages>discussion forums – the discussion forums option is not there because I unticked the box because I thought that I needed to do this to disable group forums to make site wide forums work.
@mercime I am more than willing to give you my login details and give you a wee project!
You have two pages titled “Support” in your site – Support with slug Discuss and Support page with support slug – the first one a left-over from previous need to have both group and sitewide forums.
– Delete the first one, Support page with slug Discuss, then go to Trash and Delete Permanently that page.
– The title of the Page should equal name of slug. So open up the Support Page that you kept and make sure the slug below it is also support.
– Now go to admin dashboard menu BuddyPress > Pages > Directories – Discussion Forums, select the page Support and click on Save button on same line.
– Go to admin dashboard menu Settings > Permalinks and re-run it once again for good measure.
Note: if you want to rename the page to “Discussions”, don’t forget to change the slug to discussions as well, and go to BuddyPress > Pages to select the page Discussions from the dropdown.
@mercime I have backed up my database and deleted bb-config.php. There is no immediate difference, that I can see. I do not want to use the group forums feature.
@overlander – I see that you have wp-symposium installed. Please forward your queries to their forums http://www.wpsymposium.com/discuss/
In the current BP system, you’d need to create groups for each of your cities.
Then enable the discussion forum for each group and you should be good.
You might be more interested in using the bbPress forum plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress
An example of the bbPress plugin in action can be found here:
http://testbp.org/discussion/
Full BuddyPress integration with bbPress is scheduled for the next major release of BP, v1.6.
Have you checked out theme authors’ forums http://themekraft.com/forums/ or updates as they usually post the latest updated Custom Community theme at github https://github.com/Themekraft/Custom-Community before it’s released at WordPress.org themes page
Then install bbPress the plugin (sitewide forums) https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ and have group forums as well.
== I would like to have the option of each forum in the menu. ==
Do you mean the main menu? Then use custom menu and add the link/s to respective forums.
@OHAAT first, bbPress the plugin is no longer in beta, it is now stable version 2.0.2. The topic above was 4 months 2 weeks ago.
To totally uninstall the forum for groups, backup DB and the bb-config.php that was created at root of your WP install. Then delete that bb-config.php at root. For more info about installing sitewide forums (bbPress plugin) check out https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
To clarify, your upgrade is from BP 1.5 to 1.5.1 or BP 1.2.+ to BP 1.5.1?
== Does it mean that the problem is with my framework? ==
If you’re coming from BP 1.2+ to BP 1.5.1, it’s with the updated BP Template files in 6 folders which should have been transferred to your Platform theme folder, plus that you went through the installation wizard
If you’re coming from BP 1.5 to BP 1.5.1 check via admin menu BuddyPress > Pages that your Member page is associated with Page titled Members in select box. Check also that the slug is the same as the title of the page. e.g. page title = Members and slug = members not members-2 or members-3
EDIT 1 – took too long to answer. didn’t see your post @aces 
EDIT 2 – Also, if you updated your Platform theme, the update might have deleted the BP template folders from your WP theme so reupload activity, blogs, forums, groups, members and registration from bp-default theme to your WP theme folder in server.
I also installed the groups version and now want to go to the bbPress. When I try and “uninstall” the groups, it still keeps all those settings so anything I try and do in bbPress doesn’t work. Even tried deleting everything with buddy press to no avail!
Will try just disabling groups in the components until the other is out of beta.
