Apparently you have to be logged in to see the button.
I was able to get it to work, but not in the fashion that I had hoped. The BuddyPress forums created a page with a “New Topic” button at the top (http://www.connectedupdates.com/discussions/), however this button does not do anything. Ideally, I would like to use this page.
Any way we can make it work would be great.
Thanks for your help, though, John! I really appreciate you taking some time to look into this.
Not exactly what I was looking for. I was hoping to get the “New Topic” button to work on the main forums page (this may not be bbPress as it appears (non-functional) without bbPress being installed.)
I want site wide forums, I am not utilizing groups
I’m really only wanting one forum to keep it clean. This is for my company so we’ll be discussing only things pertinent to our industry, it would over-complicate it if they had to navigate through multiple forums. I like the look of the BuddyPress forum, I just can’t make it work for some reason.
I also noticed that under “New! Site Wide Forums”, I can click Install and it says that it’s done.
However, under “(Installed) Forums for Groups”, I can click Uninstall Group Forums, and when I refresh the page it still says that Group Forums are installed…
I am not using Groups (Groups module is disabled). I want a site wide forum.
BuddyPress has me install bbPress, and when I disable BuddyPress’ forums it makes the forum page look like a blank profile (?) with Private or Public messaging buttons.
I’m confused. I just want the “New Topic” button to work.
