I am unable to create a forum or a group in Buddypress. I can create them through the dashboard, but not through my Buddypress website itself. I have the option checked that enables users to create groups.
From the research I’ve done, it sounds like the link is there, but that the theme is probably not showing it. I’m brand new to web design and have no experience editing CSS or any other type of code, so please be very specific. What can I do to fix it?
January 27, 2018 at 18:16 #186994Kieran_SQModeratorHi,
I logged into your site and went to http://communitykennel.com/groups/ and was able to create a group on the front end. You can create a group by visiting the groups page and clicking the blue link (see screenshot).
I also logged into the back-end as an admin and renamed your groups page slug from groups-2 to groups, this appears to have happened due to multiple imports of demo content.
If you would like to add a menu item to create a group you will need to go to WP Admin > Menus > Desired Menu and then select ‘Custom Links’ the URL would be /groups/create/ and the link text is your choice.
Let me know if this works for you,
Thanks,
Kieran

I was able to follow your instructions to fix the groups link in the KleoNavMenu (at the top). Is there anyway to edit the Buddypress menu in the theme to link to the same groups page?
Any idea how to allow users to create forums in the same way?

Please can give me more information about what you mean by
Is there anyway to edit the Buddypress menu in the theme to link to the same groups page?
If you can please supply a screenshot of the functionality you would like to achieve.
If you can use the bbPress shortcodes to allow users to create topics or forums
To create a forum (note: a forum is what holds topics)
[bbp-forum-form]
To create a topic (note: a topic is inside a forum and contain the topic and it’s replies)
[bbp-topic-form]
Thanks,
Kieran.

January 27, 2018 at 21:58 #187055chris1218ParticipantKieran,
Thanks for your response.
In the attached screenshot, arrow 1 is pointing to the menu that goes to a group page that allows me to create groups (so that’s good). Arrow 2 is pointing to a “groups” page that doesn’t let me create groups (problem).
Sorry, where to I go to insert the bbpress shortcodes? I would like to be able to click on arrow 3 and be able to create forums and topics.

January 27, 2018 at 22:23 #187063Kieran_SQModeratorHi,
I will refer this ticket to a developer for assistance. They’ll be in touch as soon as they can, Monday to Friday, East European Time.
Thanks,
Kieran.

January 29, 2018 at 17:27 #187200RaduModeratorHi,
Just create a new file named home.php in child theme under wp-content/themes/kleo-child/buddypress/groups/single/home.php
If the folders missing create them!
In that you will paste this code : https://pastebin.com/raw/7a4yZ800
NOTE : Child theme needs to be installed and activated.
Let me know
Cheers

Mark as a solutionJanuary 30, 2018 at 01:38 #187257chris1218ParticipantRadu, thanks for the code. I am brand new to doing this and am not sure that I did it correctly. I created the folders that I needed to in my hostgator file manager and inserted the home.php code that you sent. There is still no change to my website though. What do I need to still do? Thanks again for your help.

January 30, 2018 at 17:17 #187294RaduModeratorHi,
You need to install kleo child theme, before that delete what you had done, then after you install and activate child theme, then you are ok to do that.
Child theme can be found under main files pack that you have downloaded from themeforest.
Install and activate it from wp-admin -> appearance -> install plugins.
Cheers
R.Hi there!!! Help others from the community and mark any reply as solution if it solved your question. Mark as a solutionJanuary 30, 2018 at 20:02 #187308chris1218ParticipantThanks for your response. I deleted the folders that I had created. In my file manager, I do not have an “appearance” folder within my wp-admin folder (screenshot 1). My kleo child theme is installed and active in my dashboard (see screenshot 2).
How do I get my Kleo child theme folders to show up in my hostgator file manager so that I can add your code (screenshot 3)? Please explain more to help me understand what I need to do. Thanks for your patience as I figure this out.

It turns out that I had two separate file directories for my WP dashboard and my hostgator account because my wp dashboard was operating under a canceled subscription instead of my new one! Therefore, I wasn’t able to access the files. I’m getting the directory transferred over now and will hopefully be able to upload the code.
January 31, 2018 at 17:24 #187374RaduModeratorHi,
You should be ok now, let me know
Cheers

Thanks for your response. I inserted the code in the code editor (screenshot 1), deleted my cache, refreshed my page, but it still didn’t fix it.
The default file permission was 644. I changed it to 755, but it still didn’t work.
Did I do something wrong?
See screenshot 2. I can create a new group from arrow 2 (and always could), but still can not create a group from arrow 3. There should be a “create group” option at arrow 4. I still have the same problem with my “forums” link on the same menu.

February 5, 2018 at 04:33 #187799chris1218ParticipantOne edit to what I requested earlier- I do not want users to be able to create forums.
I would like for users to be able to see the forum index and be able to create topics from the user buddypress menu though.
Thanks for all your help so far!
February 6, 2018 at 08:02 #187919LauraModeratorAdded it 🙂 The link should be at Profile > Groups now, you can adjust the position by adding this to style.css of child theme
COPY CODE.bp-user a.group-create.no-ajax { margin-top: -0.16% !important; position: absolute !important; }

February 6, 2018 at 20:10 #187988chris1218ParticipantYou are amazing, thank you!
Could you please also add a link titled “Forum Index” on the user’s menu, on the forums page? (see screenshot)
Please link to:
http://communitykennel.com/forums/February 7, 2018 at 16:12 #188029LauraModeratorHello, sadly that is a bit more complicated and i was not able to add it successfully
