BuddyPress.org

I’m using version 2.1.3.

If you don’t put check mark for “Yes. I want this group to have a forum.” when you create a group for the first time, you will get a error message says “ERROR: Your forum must have a parent.” when you create a new forum for the group.

I did the following procedure to create forum and link them together but this should be fixed.

How to fix manually

1. Create new forum from WP dashboard
2. Get group id from wp_bp_groups table
3. Get forum id from wp_posts
4. Run the following insert command for wp_bp_groups_groupmeta

INSERT INTO `YOURDATABASE`.`wp_bp_groups_groupmeta` (`id`, `group_id`, `meta_key`, `meta_value`) VALUES (’34’, ‘8’, ‘forum_id’, ‘a:1:{i:0;i:52;}’);
