It should be easier, and maybe it is…
Try: [ see new gist url below ]
Is really needed.
Many Thanks for this @shanebp.
However if other plugins (relating to groups) say for example (i have tested!) bp group reviews, email subscription,group blog etc etc
this display comes up again “That name is already being used. Please use a different name.”
when it shouldn’t
So
Create Group (with duplicate name)
input name
Create Group
the display comes up “That name is already being used. Please use a different name.”
brilliant!
in new form
input new name (non duplicate)
Create Group
new name accepted (and group IS created)
next panel (https://i.imgur.com/cBbPIH0.jpg)
click Enable group reveiws
click Enable Gallery
click Next Step
BUT
form is returned again with “That name is already being used. Please use a different name.”

@shanebp Really appreciate your efforts with this and hope they continue but frankly i think this should be a core function.
Avoiding duplicates (usernames, blognames, groupnames, members email addresses, etc etc) surely is core????
I’ve deleted that gist and added a new one:
https://gist.github.com/shanebp/72a0c6fe7ffb6f9c1424a30bdb455d4f
It should only check for duplicate names if on the first tab – ‘Details’.
You can always create a ticket asking for a change to core files.
Awesome! Sorry, I am new to wordpress and php development. Zero knowledge.
The code that you posted, should I copy and paste in an existing php file? or should I create a new php file and put it in the buddypress folder?
Thanks!
You can put it in your theme/functions.php or in bp-custom.php.
Many Thanks @shanebp. Works. Ticket
Hi I know this is an old conversation, but the code has a little problem, if the name is the same but with a maiusc letter different for the function is ok and the user can to create group with same name.
How can I fix this?
