users can't create groups

[kiko46]

Hi, I am unable to create groups from the front-end. Only the admin can create a group from the back-end. When I hover over Buddypress there are no pages that dropdown to get to the group directory and to choose to create a group. Thanks!

Hi, You enable that from Settings -> Buddypress -> Settings
Create/Edit your menu from Appearance -> Menus

I have enable this option but i can’t find a “create group” button in site. Where is?

[Abe]

If you enabled the option, you should see in /groups the button:

Hello,

I’m having this problem as well. Users can’t create groups even though I have that enabled. But, the admin can create groups. When I “view page” through the Dashboard in ‘Pages’ I see the Create a Group button there.

Suggestion for a fix?

Thanks.

[Abe]

The button should be in your Groups page, for example http://www.mysite.com/groups

Right Abe, but it’s not showing up for users.

1) Shows up for Admin (yes)
2) Shows up for users (no)

it use to show last week for users too…has disappeared now.

[Abe]

make sure you enabled that in Settings – Buddypress – Settings. or maybe it is a plugin of yours that messes it

Yes, it’s enabled. Will check plugins. Now it’s not showing up for Admin!

Now only shows up for admin if I go Profile scroll down to Groups then select Create a Group.

[Afrostein]

Is there a line of code or some other method to get it functioning correctly? I really don’t want to re-install the theme for this one issue. Status:

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

[Afrostein]

also the “group directory” does not show up for user or admin…just noticed this.

The only code I 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*/
}

Anyone have an idea on solving this? Thanks.

[Afrostein]

Hi Robert,

Are you available to help answer this one? Thanks.

[Abe]

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 and follow the video tutorial, maybe have a wrong setting.
