New users can not create a forum

[dave_mccoy]

In groups users can not create forums.  They see this message “<span style=”color: #8a6d3b; font-family: ‘Open Sans’; font-size: 11.7px; line-height: 20px; background-color: #fdfaec;”>This group does not currently have a forum. “</span>

If I create a new forum through the admin panel – users see the error “ERROR: Forum ID is missing.”

Hi,

MAybe when you have created the group you have omitted to check Yes. I want this group to have a forum.

Go to that group, click manage then click on forum step ( see attached screenshot )

Cheers

Just a thought..

Have you gone to wp-admin > Tools > Forums and run all the repair tool options?

Does the group have the appropriate forum assigned to it in the discussion forum panel under wp-admin > Groups > ‘Group Name Here’ > Edit as well the the check box ticked?

Is this a new group you’ve just created, or was this group created before?

If the group was created before, could you try creating a new group with an attached forum and see it the issue still appears.
