Hello,

I updated BP to 3.0 and I see there is no forums tab inside the groups. Is bbpress insidfe the groups not supported anymore?

Hello,

Starting from BuddyPress 3.0 we have removed support for the deprecated and unsupported bbPress 1.x that was bundled with BuddyPress.

As written in our release post:

Most notably, the Legacy Forums component has been removed after 9 years of service. If your site was using Legacy Forums, you need to migrate to the bbPress plugin.

And here is our general bbPress 2.x forum installation guide:

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

So, @m1000, please follow the migration guide and move everything forum-related to bbPress 2.x, which is faster and overall works better.

But I have bbpress 2.5.14 on the website, tested it under default WP themes.

Looks like there was removed groups forum activation from create.php

				<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'forums' ) ) : ?>

					<h4><?php _e( 'Group Forums', 'buddypress' ); ?></h4>

					<?php if ( bp_forums_is_installed_correctly() ) : ?>

						<p><?php _e( 'Should this group have a forum?', 'buddypress' ); ?></p>

						<div class="checkbox">
							<label for="group-show-forum"><input type="checkbox" name="group-show-forum" id="group-show-forum" value="1"<?php checked( bp_get_new_group_enable_forum(), true, true ); ?> /> <?php _e( 'Enable discussion forum', 'buddypress' ); ?></label>
						</div>
					<?php elseif ( is_super_admin() ) : ?>

						<p><?php printf( __( '<strong>Attention Site Admin:</strong> Group forums require the <a href="%s">correct setup and configuration</a> of a bbPress installation.', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_do_network_admin() ? network_admin_url( 'settings.php?page=bb-forums-setup' ) :  admin_url( 'admin.php?page=bb-forums-setup' ) ); ?></p>

					<?php endif; ?>

				<?php endif; ?>

That code controls a setting. It has nothing to do with the actual navigation bar. I am confused as to what exactly you are reporting is wrong.

Yes, I know. I have enabled buddypress legacy and when I go to group manage -> forum and I try to enable forum it stays inactive – https://imgur.com/Bc5DTL4 I also selected child forum for the group.
I have enabled group forums – https://imgur.com/jakMcKg

We don’t have enough information to figure out what the cause might be yet, I think we will need to try to reproduce the problem, but it doesn’t seem to be unique to your site, so I’ve created a bug report at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7844 — please keep an eye on that for updates.
