BP groups only have option for status update. what?

I’m using WordPress 4.6.1 and Buddypress 2.7.2 with theme Electa, version: 1.3.01 by Kaira.

I created a group to check out that BP feature. But the ONLY thing I could do in the group was post a status update. Is that all? That’s no different than then the activity stream.

Please let me know if I missing something!

Thanks. 🙂

I think of BuddyPress as an enabling platform, as such the groups features handles the basics and you get to add the features you need by loading plugins such as bbPress for Forums, maybe a media plugin for photo sharing etc. As such whilst the basic features are limited in reality you get to create a custom set of features.

I checked a least two dozen BP related plugins and couldn’t find anything to enhance groups except one that adds “pages”.

I’m looking for something to add photo sharing and basic forum type posting ability to groups. Can you offer any suggestions? Thanks!

Forums are mentioned here:
