Create A Group Still Not Functioning

[Afrostein]

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 over images */
add_filter(‘kleo_img_rounded_icon’, ‘my_custom_icon’);

/* Replace the heart from register modal */
add_filter(‘kleo_register_button_icon’, ‘my_custom_icon_register’);

/* Replace the heart from About us widget */
add_filter(‘kleo_widget_aboutus_icon’, ‘my_custom_icon_about_widget’);
}

/* 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*/
}

You said that the Groups Directory isn’t showing for groups or admin. this is where the button should appear. Try setting the page designated for groups in Settings – Buddypress – Pages.

Do a clean install or a test install in other location and follow the video tutorial, maybe have a wrong setting.

Abe,

I re-posted a few question because where I originally posted before said the issues were “resolved” and I could not change that status. (so maybe that’s why they were going unanswered) Thanks.

[Abe]

Ok, So you tried my suggestions and it works now?

Hey Abe,

Tried everything. Even a complete reinstall last night. No change. As it stands now

1) Admin can create groups
2) “Groups” page exists under (WP > Pages) Quick view shows the page with the groups and the Create A Group button.
3) When clicking on the “Groups” button from the profile (lower row of buttons) instead of pointing to mydomain.com/groups it points to “mydomain.com/members/username/activity/groups/”
4) Deactivated and reactivated each plugin individually
5) All settings are set to allow user to create groups

Any ideas on a fix? Thanks.

Share your site link and some credential. I don’t think you have read my instructions 🙂 you go to mydomain.com/groups it is really easy. and if that page is blank then just set it from Wp admin – Settings – Buddypress – Pages

Hi Abe. I understand everything you said. Per my last e-mail item #5 I have already gone into Wp Admin-Settings-Pages. User Group field assigned to “Groups” page. Also, under Wp Admin-Settings-Buddypress-Settings “allow all users to form groups” is enabled. Sending private link now. Thanks.

You haven’t provided some credentials to login and the groups page is restricted

Will appreciate that

Hi there, There is nothing wrong with your functionality. The button only appears in /groups and it appears in your site also. The link under the profile button from the header is correct since it takes you to your own groups. To change those links see: https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/add-menu-item-to-the-profile-drop-down-menu

Hi Abe,

Thanks so much for looking into this. I’m not sure how else to restate the problem. The issue is how can users create their own groups. 1 week ago it was easy. Just click on Groups in the profile (lower) level buttons and it went to the groups page where all groups were listed and the Create a Group button appeared. How does a user (or you when you logged in) get directly to the Create A Group button from the user profile without entering /groups into the browser?

Thanks.

[Abe]

🙂 I already told you they create groups from your /groups page. The link in the header goes to your own groups where there is no button and that link always has been like that. I have you the link on how you can customize those links and add another one like site wide groups.

That groups button in the header profile submenu has always pointed to your own group. Add a item in you main menu to point to /groups or change that submenu as I already told you how to.
