I can access the Group Admin section, but I see no Add New button.
@simpsonpw you create a group by:
– Going to the Groups Directory page and clicking on the button to create a new group beside the page title, or
– As Super Admin just add /create/ after the url to your groups directory page, e.g. example.com/groups/create
Same problem here. There is no button on the Groups directory page. I can add groups by following your second suggestion. I suppose I could just create a “Create Group” button and link it to the example.com/groups/create page.
Same problem here. Clicking on a created group does times out. Just does not work
You both could be affected by this: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4834
If the call to the_title() occurs outside the loop in your theme, BuddyPress fails to display the “Add New” button.
In this case you have to fix your theme.
Quick solution could be to create a custom template page for buddypress and relocate the call to the_title() inside the loop.

My case is slightly different though. I see the Add New button, can begin the process of creating new group but once the group is created, everything appears ok until a user clicks on the group and gets a request timeout. See what I mean here
