Alright, here’s the deal. I’m in the process of transitioning my traditional wordpress site (latest version) into a buddypress driven site. I went through the installation process, checked my slugs, permalinks, etc. I create a new forum in the dashboard, and it shows up on the forum page (http://www.mrhensler.com/forums/), but when you click on the forum name, it just says “comments are closed.” There’s no place to read the topic, post a reply, etc, etc. Any ideas?

I’m running BP 1.5.5 and bbPress 2.0.2 if it helps.

1. BuddyPress is not activated in your installation per my check at this time.

2. You need to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress by installing and activating the BP Template Pack plugin, then go through Appearance > BP Compatibility and changing/adding some files https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/mystique-theme-from-digitalnature/

Sorry, I was doing work on my site and took the BP theme down. It’s back up. Tried removing Buddypress and reinstalling it, but it still recognizes all of the old settings. Here’s my forum page: http://www.mrhensler.com/forums/ Clicking on any of the forums yields nothing.

I see the problem. Only add the shortcode/s on the main Sitewide Forums page – http://www.mrhensler.com/forums/.- and delete the shortcode/s you added in new forum/sub-forum pages.

Here’s is a test page I made with the shortcodes. I can get the initial page to show correctly, but again, if you click on any of the topics, forum links, etc., you’re just taken to a page that says “comments are closed.” There’s no spot for people to reply, etc.
