I am having problems with group forum posting, but only when the group is set to “Public.” I’m able to create forum topics for both private and hidden groups, but as soon as I make the group public I no longer see the previous forum posts nor can I create new posts.

Running WP 3.05 and BP 1.2.5.2

Anyone seen this before?

I’ve never heard of this problem before.

In what sense are you unable to create new posts? Do you get an error message? Has the New Topic form disappeared?

(that trick didn’t work for me… now running 3.1.1 and 1.2.

I get “There was an error when creating the topic” when the group is public, and “Sorry, there were no forum topics found” when I then click on “Forums.” If I switch settings to private/hidden, all the test forum posts reappear.

Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme to start troubleshooting what’s causing the erroneous behavior.

Like everyone else I’ve tried most of the suggestions posted on this site, even just tried installing bbPress as a seperate plugin and overwriting my wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress files with the latest from bbpress.org

The crazy part is that I think I solved this before a month ago when sandboxing on the very same server I’m using now. I’ve tried the cilck/unclick tricks, etc. Are there any special CHMOD requirements perhaps? It’s such a PITB.. This problem is suffocating.
