Go to pages -> Trash -> empty all pages from trash
And in the page make sure the permlink says groups and not groups-2 (edit if needed)
edit -> ok -> update page
@mgrmn
I have emptied the trash and changed the parmalink from groups-2 to groups but non of my edit of Groups via the page menu isn’t showing on the Group page when view from a browser.
What you’re trying to do doesn’t work I believe.
BuddyPress only creates those pre-named Pages in WordPress to create Permalink -structures.
I believe the BuddyPress script takes over from that point , those pages have no further meaning from the back-end of your WordPress website. You can add content to them as much as you want but that content will not show up on the front-end of the page because BuddyPress has taken over those pages and instead loads it’s own ‘groups’ – ‘activity’ – ‘members’ templates.
If you want to add some content to those pages you have to look into the template files.
wp-content / plugins / buddypress / bp-templates/ bp-legacy / buddypress / groups / index.php
Thats the files that will be shown when you view the Groups page.
If you would like to add some content to it or edit it in any form you should copy-/paste that file inside your WP Theme folder – just like this.
wp-content / themes / [your-theme-name] / buddypress / groups / index.php <– make sure that’s a COPY of the default version.
@macpresss Thanks for your detailed explanation. I tried to find the index.php file via wordpress admin>>plugins>>buddypress but I couldn’t find a file called bp-templates on the right hand side of that page.
Thanks

@macpresss I finally found it via my host ftp but my theme folder doesn’t have buddypress inside it. wp-content / themes / [your-theme-name] />>NO BUDDYPRESS but there is an index.php file inside it.
@disqusnow BuddyPress is a plugin, plugins live in the WP directory /wp-content/plugins/ not in the directory /wp-content/themes/
BP historically ran it’s default theme from it’s plugin struture and still does along with the new theme compatibility files /buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/
If you have a custom theme and you want to edit the bp theme compat templates then you must copy them over to your theme and edit them from there ( to confirm as mentioned earlier the actual WP pages are placeholders you do not enter content in them.)
Please see the codex for more in depth guides to theme compatibility and overloading the templates to your theme.
