I am attempting to use the shortcode [bbp-forum-form] to allow users (keymasters) to be able to add new forums as needed. I set up a new page and added this shortcode. The page looks great and the shortcode pulls up the form to add a new forum (as desired). However, when I test it by filling out this form and clicking submit, nothing seems to happen. The page does seem to refresh but a new forum is not added.

Am I missing something? I am new to bbpress so perhaps I just missed a setting somewhere? I am running the latest version of WordPress (3.9.2) and bbPress 2.5.4. My site URL is http://wwcustomercare.azurewebsites.net.

Thank you in advance for your help!

That should be working, are you selecting the parent forum and forum type from the drop downs?

[LoraLu]

Yes. I’ve tried it a bunch of different ways. I’m selecting Forum Type, Status, Visibility and Parent Forum…but when I click submit, the new forum is not added.

This is the page I created for this form. All I did was add [bbp-forum-form]…am I missing something else? You will need a login to view this page – is there a way to send you that privately?

It could be a plugin conflict or a theme issue, disable all your other plugins and switch to the Twenty Fourteen theme and try again. I tried to access your site using /forums and get redirected to a login plug, so this is what leads me to believe its a conflict somewhere.

I’ll try some tests on my sites over the weekend and see if I can replicate the issue.

I’ve just tested this with bbPress 2.5.4 and Twenty Fourteen with no other active plugins:

* Created a page /123 and added the [bbp-forum-form] shortcode
* Opened that page /123
* Entered 123 as the forum title and description
* Selected forum for the forum type
* Selected open for the forum status
* Selected Public for forum visibility
* Selected root for parent forum (Root is another forum I already had setup)
* Clicked submit and the forum is created and I am redirected to create a new topic in that forum e.g. /forums/forum/root/123/
