I don’t have BuddyBoss installed. bbPress provides integration code that injects the “Forum” tab inside the group creation process. Normally:

add_filter( 'groups_create_group_steps', function ( $steps ) {
    unset( $steps['forum'] );
    return $steps;
} );

or something of that sort would have solved the issue. I was wondering of bbPress injects the tab in a different way.

I would appreciate if you could forward that to one of the devs, since you are a Mod, Robin, otherwise, thanks for the help.

But the integration code resides inside bbPress. If it was core BuddyPress filters, it would be much simpler, don’t you think?

For anyone that landed here from a Google search. The pagination is not working for forums set up inside BuddyPress groups. You need to copy those two files from
\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress
pagination-topics.php
pagination-replies.php

and copy them to
\wp-content\themes\[yourchildtheme]\bbpress

Replace the code inside pagination-topics.php to:

<?php

/**
 * Pagination for pages of topics (when viewing a forum)
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

// Exit if accessed directly
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;

do_action( 'bbp_template_before_pagination_loop' );

// Use bbPress setting for topics per page
$posts_per_page = bbp_get_topics_per_page();  // Dynamically get the value from bbPress settings

// Get the current page
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? absint(get_query_var('paged')) : 1;

// Set up the custom query
$args = array(
    'post_type'      => bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
    'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
    'paged'          => $paged,
    'meta_query'     => array(
        array(
            'key'   => '_bbp_forum_id',
            'value' => bbp_get_forum_id(),
        ),
    ),
);

// Run the custom query
$forum_query = new WP_Query($args);

if ($forum_query->have_posts()) :
?>
    <div class="bbp-pagination">
        <div class="bbp-pagination-count">
            <?php
            // Display the range of topics being viewed
            $start = ($paged - 1) * $posts_per_page + 1;
            $end = min($paged * $posts_per_page, $forum_query->found_posts);
            echo sprintf(__('Viewing %1$s to %2$s (of %3$s topics)'), $start, $end, $forum_query->found_posts);
            ?>
        </div>
        <div class="bbp-pagination-links">
            <?php
            // Generate the pagination links
            echo paginate_links(array(
                'total'   => $forum_query->max_num_pages,
                'current' => $paged,
                'format'  => '?paged=%#%',
                'add_args' => false,
                'prev_text' => __('« Prev'),
                'next_text' => __('Next »'),

            ?>
        </div>
    </div>
<?php
else :
    echo '<p>No topics found.</p>';
endif;

// Reset post data
wp_reset_postdata();

do_action('bbp_template_after_pagination_loop');
?>

Replace the code inside pagination-replies.php to:

        array(
