Hi,
When I set “Yes. I want this group to have a forum” and then select a forum in the menu, it doesn’t work. I can’t find any info in documentation, nor in support forum yet. How can I fix it ?
Thanks.
Hi,
Check out this tutorial:
http://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/Hi there!!! Help others from the community and mark any reply as solution if it solved your question. Mark as a solutionThanks, I figured it out finally. I had settings from a previous BBpress forum which might have caused confusion.
Still, I wasn’t sure what to make of this:
(Installed) Forums for Groups
Note: This component is retired and will not be receiving any updates in the future. Only use this component if your current site relies on it.Does it mean that in future Buddypress, groups will NOT have any forums anymore? This was the only way I saw I could install so that each group may have a corresponding forum.
When I follow all these steps, I can set everything up but the slug for a group forum will not work.
When going into a group for which I created a forum, Buddypress gives me a link like this one:
http://mywebsite.com/groups/name-of-group/forum/Whereas the usual slug convention is:
http://mywebsite.com/forums/forum/name-of-forum/Any idea how I can fix the group slug?
OK, managed to fix it myself.
I still had the ‘legacy forum support’ option enabled in the Buddypress settings.
Therefor the group forums were not being dealt with properly by BBPress.Once I disabled the legacy forum support in Buddypress, the group forums started showing up correctly and I could create new ones, too.
The forum ‘Sweetdate – WordPress’ is closed to new topics and replies.
