BuddyPress.org

Hi everyone, I’ve been building a community website using BuddyPress where people can share restaurant experiences, and I set up a section specifically for Texas Roadhouse fans. The idea is to let users join the group, share menu reviews, upload food photos, and talk about their visits. However, I’ve been running into a technical issue: the Texas Roadhouse group page isn’t displaying properly compared to other groups.

When users join the Texas Roadhouse group, the activity feed either doesn’t update or loads very slowly. Sometimes the posts don’t appear at all until I refresh the page multiple times. What’s strange is that other groups on my site (like “Olive Garden” or “Chili’s”) work fine and update instantly.

I checked my BuddyPress settings, and everything looks identical across groups. The group permissions and activity stream settings are the same, so I don’t understand why this one page is behaving differently. I even tried disabling a couple of plugins (like caching and image optimization) to rule out conflicts, but the issue remained.

Another problem is with the group media uploads. When someone tries to upload a photo of their Texas Roadhouse meal, the upload hangs or fails completely, even though image uploads work in other groups. This makes me wonder if there’s some kind of database issue or corruption specific to this group ID.

Has anyone else faced a situation where a single BuddyPress group acts differently from the rest? I’d love to know if there’s a fix—whether it’s resetting the group, clearing caches, or maybe adjusting BuddyPress database tables. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, since this Texas Roadhouse group is one of the most popular on my site.
