For anyone that landed here from a Google search. The pagination is not working for forums set up inside BuddyPress groups. You need to copy those two files from
\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress
pagination-topics.php
pagination-replies.php
and copy them to
\wp-content\themes\[yourchildtheme]\bbpress
Replace the code inside pagination-topics.php to:
<?php
/**
* Pagination for pages of topics (when viewing a forum)
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/
// Exit if accessed directly
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;
do_action( 'bbp_template_before_pagination_loop' );
// Use bbPress setting for topics per page
$posts_per_page = bbp_get_topics_per_page(); // Dynamically get the value from bbPress settings
// Get the current page
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? absint(get_query_var('paged')) : 1;
// Set up the custom query
$args = array(
'post_type' => bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
'paged' => $paged,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => '_bbp_forum_id',
'value' => bbp_get_forum_id(),
),
),
);
// Run the custom query
$forum_query = new WP_Query($args);
if ($forum_query->have_posts()) :
?>
<div class="bbp-pagination">
<div class="bbp-pagination-count">
<?php
// Display the range of topics being viewed
$start = ($paged - 1) * $posts_per_page + 1;
$end = min($paged * $posts_per_page, $forum_query->found_posts);
echo sprintf(__('Viewing %1$s to %2$s (of %3$s topics)'), $start, $end, $forum_query->found_posts);
?>
</div>
<div class="bbp-pagination-links">
<?php
// Generate the pagination links

</div>
</div>
<?php
else :
echo '<p>No topics found.</p>';
endif;
// Reset post data
wp_reset_postdata();
do_action('bbp_template_after_pagination_loop');
?>
Replace the code inside pagination-replies.php to:
<?php
/**
* Pagination for pages of replies (when viewing a topic)
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/
// Exit if accessed directly
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;
do_action( 'bbp_template_before_pagination_loop' );

$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? absint(get_query_var('paged')) : 1;
// Set up the custom query
$args = array(
'post_type' => bbp_get_reply_post_type(),
'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
'paged' => $paged,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => '_bbp_topic_id',
'value' => bbp_get_topic_id(),
),
),
);
// Run the custom query
$replies_query = new WP_Query($args);
if ($replies_query->have_posts()) :
?>
<div class="bbp-pagination">
<div class="bbp-pagination-count">
<?php
// Display the range of replies being viewed
$start = ($paged - 1) * $posts_per_page + 1;
$end = min($paged * $posts_per_page, $replies_query->found_posts);
echo sprintf(__('Viewing %1$s to %2$s (of %3$s replies)'), $start, $end, $replies_query->found_posts);
?>
</div>
<div class="bbp-pagination-links">
<?php

echo paginate_links(array(

</div>
<?php
else :
echo '<p>No replies found.</p>';
endif;
// Reset post data
wp_reset_postdata();
do_action('bbp_template_after_pagination_loop');
?>
Then, resave your permalinks.
