I’m having some similar issues, and I’ve narrowed my problem down to be database related. Hopefully someone will have some better advice, but one option I’m having to investigate is rolling back my db to a point where this wasn’t happening. Just letting you know as a backup plan, but hopefully a ninja will come with some excellent advice shortly 🙂
Yes for now what I have Managed to do is to open a private browser and log in to my account from there and create a group that way it will allow me to create new Groups, but I just can’t create them regularly, and it will not let me go pass the Settings Screen, but when I go to check my Groups the New one is Added.
I just solved my problem, I had a bug in my bp-custom.php and had forgot to remove that when deactivating all the other plugins as it’s just a file sitting in your plugins folder.
Not sure if that helps, but try backing up and removing that file and see if things start working for you. If they do then you can start narrowing it down from there.
My problem was that even with wp_debug set to true, I didn’t get a notice or warning until I stripped the site right back to nothing on another server.
Worth a try for sure.
If that does’t work then you could also try removing any custom functions you’ve got as well.
best of luck!
FYI I’ve now narrowed mine down to be this define line, which I was using to make forum’s my default tab.
define( ‘BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION’, ‘forum’ );
works fine without that line
hopefully that helps you too, or gives you a clue
So I would just need to delete that line? If it’s there?
Cause it seemed to have all of the same files my one of my other sites had, and the other worked just fine
Hi.
I am also using wordpress 4.1.1 and buddypress 2.2.1 and for all pages, which I need to map via the settings page I am getting a blank page: Groups, Members, Register and Activate. I am using the default theme. It is a multi-site setup, however buddypress is only used on the main site (first blog) and also only there activated.
I did only minor styling via the themes css and the header.php.
WP_Debug does not show any errors as well as the Apache log is empty.
It was working fine until i updated recently the connected bbpress for forum.
Besides that I am using following plugins:
bbP private groups
bbPress
bbPress Advanced Capabilities
BP Registration Options (DEACTIVATED CURRENTLY)
BuddyPress
BuddyPress Group Email Subscription
BuddyPress Like (DEACTIVATED CURRENTLY)
BuddyPress Multilingual
HookPress (DEACTIVATED CURRENTLY)
Nginx Helper (only on staging)
Page Builder by SiteOrigin (DEACTIVATED CURRENTLY)
Paid Memberships Pro
Paid Memberships Pro – bbPress Add On
Paid Memberships Pro – Register Helper Add On
Social Login
Network activated:
WordPress SEO
WPML Multilingual CMS
WPML String Translation
Events Manager
My dev environment is XAMPP on Mac and on the staging is a linode cloud server with Ubuntu on Nginx (I think). Both have the same issues.
It’s not a live site yet, just demo, therefore some of the plugins might get activated if I am back on track.
Tried it now to get it run for about 15 hours:
– I also deactivated all plugins except buddypress and still did not get any of those sites working.
– Actiavated / Deactivated the plugins
– Used the repair tools
– looked into all my codes and fixed file endings such as empty space after ?> in php files
– Reassigned all sites
– Researched a lot in million of forums
Any hint, idea, glimps or full stack solution is highly appreciated.
Thanks, Chris
OK, I fixed, a bit embarrassing, but I created a buddypress.php in my theme folder to add custom code, which was working. But then we decided we do not need that anymore and therefore removed the custom code, but I kept in file just in case. But this was causing in the end the blank. When I removed this file I could access everything again.
FYI, to stay independant of any theme, custom code lives better in /plugins/bp-custom.php
I am using wordpress 4.1.1 and buddypress Version 2.2.1
When I try to create a new Group it allows me to Put in the name of the Group, and when I hit next, it shows in the browser like it goes to the settings page, but it does not bring up any of the settings.
Whem I click next nothing comes up. I can type in the browser this link http://www.earndailypay.com/groups/create/step/group-avatar/
and it will act like it’s on the Avator page, but nothing on the page like the settings page.
When I maually type in the browser groups/create/step/group-invite/ it acts as it going to the invite page but again nothing comes up. When I click Finish it goes back to the Details Page.
When I type in the Group Name in the Browser it appears there, but it will not all me to create any new ones. That group still shows like it needs to be finished, although it appears in my groups.
I have tried to, switch to twenty fourteen and still getting the same error so I tried to uninstall buddypress, deleting it and reinstalled it, and I am still getting that error. My Tested one of my other WP Sites the same version of BP & WP and it creates new groups just fine amy suggestions.
Group page doesn’t exist. (page not found: http://www.earndailypay.com/groups/) Have you activated a page for groups ? (see BP settings > pages)
If you have several old group pagesin trash, you have to empty it, so that WP will find only ONE page when you call a the group page.
Resave also permalinks. Sometimes things go better after.
You use also some exotic plugins which may create conflicts. So you will have to deactivate anything except BP to test it, and by using 2015 or 2013 theme to get a basic working install.
Once done and correctly showing you reactivate plugins one by one, until you stumble again on the issue.
Yes I Deavtived Messages the other day so I guess that took away the Groups. I have put it back now.
I have retried and gotten the same issues as before. I originally posted this about a month ago, I seen others where getting answered on this post so I wanted to re submit with hopes of getting this issue Resolved.
If it’s ok now, edit your first post and mark it as [Resolved]
Here is my issue once again

Is there a way to contact Buddypress directly? This Has been going on way to long not to have this resolved. No One Seems to be able to assist me here.
You’re connected to BuddyPress support forum, where you can get some help. There is no other way for that.
Nobody here can debug your site at your place. If you’re unable to do that, you can use BP Job Board to hire somebody.

🙄 You apparently use a premium theme (sixteen plus), which make things more difficult anyway, as we have no free access to it’s code. And you use a lot of plugins… And perhaps some custom function in your theme functions.php or bp-custom.php.
No idea what happens and i’m unable to reproduce what you describe.
See here if you can apply what is described by @r-a-y.
This is not concidered a response to my issue. I will just figure it out. Thanks for the No Support\Group page doesn’t exist. (page not found: http://www.earndailypay.com/groups/) Have you activated a page for groups ? (see BP settings > pages)
