Hi, first time posting here…
Im launching a site using Buddypress and BBpress and have found an issue where buddypress groups offer a BBpress forum when created.

This is a great feature, and a key one I want to use, however…

If I create a group and do not choose to include a forum, that group automatically becomes associated with whichever is the first forum in my database.

There is also still a ‘forum’ tab on the group menu, which should lead nowhere as no forum was created for this group. But it leads to the first forum created.

Whats worse, is this particular forum is a paid members only group with privacy settings set to invited members only, hidden etc… and anyone in the group without a forum can enter it and read, even post as though they are a member.

I have tried disabling all other plugins, themes etc and the issue resides between Buddypress nad BBpress.

Had no luck posting on the buddpress support so trying here!

Please can someone look into this as it creates a privacy issue.
Many thanks 🙂

Hi @daihlo,

I use bbPress with BuddyPress also. I’ve noticed that the people at “Buddy Dev”

https://buddydev.com/

are much more responsive than BuddyPress. I made a free account there and I’ve gotten a lot of good info from posting in their forums. They know about bbPress too. You might try them.

Hope that helps!

Mike
