Hello,

I’m working with WordPress MU 2.8.6 and Buddypress 1.1.3

I have successfully set up forums under the buddypress menu. However, when I set up a group (and enable discussion forums) I am still unable to post a new topic. I click on the “post new” link and nothing happens. Help most appreciated.

thanks

Michelle

Hi, any clues on what I might have missed out yet?

[@bowromir Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

Hi Michelle,

I think I know where the problem lies.. BuddyPress 1.1 does not need the BPPress integration plugin and it might actually cause problems. So I would advise you to uninstall BuddyPress completely remove buddypress (also remove the BuddyPress tables from the database) and disable and delete the BB integration. Then install BP again and activate the forum component on your BuddyPress admin page.

Let me know if this helps

[@catwebweaver Member 14 years, 8 months ago]

Do you know the names of the BBPress template pack tables so i can delete them from my DB?

Thanks,

[@scotm Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Same issue here…new install and can’t add forum topics as bp doesn’t list groups in the dropdown menu.

[@iainnorman Member 14 years, 8 months ago]

sorted it.

1 – go to forum settings in MU admin and click ‘re-install’

2 – select ‘Set up a new bbPress installation’ (simple on click thing, not as scary as it sounds)

3 – Complete Installation and set up a new group and start a forum post.

should now work ok.

[@mensenses Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

I’m having this issue as well. I have followed iainnorman’s instructions however the problems are still there. I can actually click the set new topic button however it showed a blank page at the end.

You guys can view the problem at this url : http://club-aus.co.cc

Help needed, cheers.

[@thatguy Member 14 years, 8 months ago]

I am also having this problem on a brand new WP/BuddyPress/ GenesisConnect:StudioPress installation.

Groups Create, Forum Topics do not.

[@mttorley Member 13 years, 12 months ago]

OK, My problem was fixed by creating a new group, and posting to that. Working with groups created BEFORE bbpress installation failed. That was stupid easy

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 12 months ago]

Glad you resolved it fast and on your own

Daily Tip: Fix for BuddyPress Group Forums Error When Creating a New Topic
check here,it works for me
http://pressography.com/wordpress/daily-tip-fix-for-buddypress-group-forums-error-when-creating-a-new-topic/

[@milordk Participant 13 years, 8 months ago]

Hi!

The problem with the creation topics arose after during the creation of the group – namely, invite users – server dropped connection timed out .. As a result, when creating a group does not create a entries in bb_forums…

If the table for the group to ask existing forum_id from the table bb_forums, then the topics are – but they are already attached to another (existing) group ..

Help))))

[@milordk Participant 13 years, 8 months ago]

ohh… BP 1.2.8, WP 3.1

[@kalphabet Member 13 years, 8 months ago]

I had the same problem with one of my group forum, I went to phpmyadmin to follow neopeacock linked solution but couldn’t find the forum_id in the database for the group that was giving me the error. So I just wen to group admin setting and disabled the forum for the group then re-enabled it and which solved my problem.
