Hi

I have buddypress 1.6.1 and latest Tersus theme installed. I moved my site to a new server and now I can not make a forum topic? Everything else works

I tried reinstalling buddypress, deleting pages and groups and remaking them, tried turning off all other plugins and no luck!

I have not launched the site so I have seedpro plugin on home page so to access the site you need to go to http://www.foodzone.com.au/

I am unsure why I can not make a new topic?

Thanks Duncan

If you changed you server, you probably changed your wp-config file.
If you publish in groups you have activated group forums. Even if you don’t use bbPress as plugin, BP use his built-in bbPress and create a bbconfig.php file.
You have to look if this file exist and search for your old server settings to transform them to your new server reference.

To answer 3) “If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? = unsure”
Wordpress should be at the root of your site (recommended install)
Something like server_path/htdocs/<— this is the root folder (this folder belongs your host)
And here all wp folders ad files (but not in a folder called wordpress)
If you use htdocs/wordpress/wp folders and files, it’s a subdirectory
