Create A Group Still Not Functioning

Hello,
Have read the other answers here in support to this problem. Have implemented and checked each suggestion. Is there a line of code or some other method to get Create A Group functioning correctly for users? I really don’t want to re-install the theme for this one issue. Status:

1) Plugins in use
a) bbpress
b) buddy press
c) contact form 7
d) W3 Total Cache
e) Paid Memberships Pro
f) WordPress Importer

2) Group Creation checked and enabled under Settings> Buddypress

3) Under WP Admin>Pages>Groups>View I see the Create a Group button

Related Group Issues:
also the “group directory” does not show up for user or admin. It does show up on “View” of Groups page under WP Admin> Pages> Groups> View

The only code I’ve added under function.php is:

*/
{
remove_action(‘kleo_bp_before_profile_name’, ‘kleo_bp_compatibility_match’);
}
//remove feeds
function bp_remove_feeds() {
remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_activity_action_sitewide_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_activity_action_personal_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_activity_action_friends_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_activity_action_my_groups_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_activity_action_mentions_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_activity_action_favorites_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘groups_action_group_feed’, 3 );
}
add_action(‘bp_include’, ‘bp_remove_feeds’);
add_action(‘after_setup_theme’,’kleo_my_hearts_actions’);

function kleo_my_hearts_actions()
{
/* disable matching on member profile */
remove_action(‘kleo_bp_before_profile_name’, ‘kleo_bp_compatibility_match’);

}

/* Replace the heart with a camera icon function */
function my_custom_icon () {
return ‘camera’;
}

/* Replace the heart from register modal with a user icon function */
function my_custom_icon_register () {
return ‘user’;
}
/* Replace the heart from about us widget with a user icon function */
function my_custom_icon_about_widget () {
return ‘user’;
}
/* Filter the redirect url for login*/
add_filter(“login_redirect”,”kleo_redirect_to_profile”,100,3);
function kleo_redirect_to_profile($redirect_to_calculated,$redirect_url_specified,$user){
/*if no redirect was specified,let us think ,user wants to be in wp-dashboard*/
if(!is_super_admin($user->ID))
return bp_core_get_user_domain($user->ID );
else
return $redirect_to_calculated; /*if site admin*/
