You should give more detail on your install, what plugins, what theme, versions… etc.

You have to enable your group’s forum – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/4/#forums-faqs

Not to seize this topic, but I’m having the same issue – one variance – everything WAS working – until I moved to a new server two days ago. Now the topics that were working, are no longer visible or seemingly, associated to their appropriate Groups.

It seems to not be a plugin conflict issue – AND – @mercime – in my instance – groups are enabled… “groups” and “group” creation are working fine.

Creating new topics? Not working.

@stjack you mean you had the same plugins, same theme and same BP/WP versions and configuration before you moved to new server with same or better configuration? Then something could have been lost in the migration to new server – import of database or incomplete theme file uploads to server. Have you also tried changing to bp-default theme and check if behavior is corrected?

From your post here, go to admin dashboard menu BuddyPress > Forums > Forums for Groups – click on Use existing installation. In next panel, confirm location of your bb-config.php

I had this problem and have finally solved it.

Here’s what I did:

1. deactivate all plugins except buddypress
2. change theme to default
3. backup your bb-config.php file
4. delete bb-config.php
5. backup /public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums
6. rename /public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums
7. download the latest version of Buddypress
8. upload new version of /public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums
9. upload rest of the latest version buddypress files
10. go to your dashboard >Buddypress > components >forums click to install group forums and it will create a new bb-config.php file
11. create a new group – DO NOT SELECT ENABLE DISCUSSION FORUM
12. save the group
13. go back into the group and select enable discussion forum
14. create a new topic for your new forum
15. If it works – check the other groups.
16 If the other groups don’t work – de-select enable discussion forum and save – then select discussion forum and save again – see if that helped.
17. change to your custom theme – double check again. You may need to redo step 16 for some of your groups
18. reactivate your plugins and check again – you may need to redo step 16

I know that seems like a lot of steps – and possible you could skip some of them – but that’s the exact process I used and it worked… woot!!

Good luck

Stef
