While I am also experiencing the create group topics issue already documented on other threads, this issue sounds more like the one @sydneydesigner noted a couple of months ago. However, his workaround does not work for me, and you will see why below.
Issue background:
My client’s site has BuddyPress installed alongside bbPress. They want group forums as an option within BuddyPress groups.
In order to use bbPress for this functionality, I have unchecked Discussion Forums within the BuddyPress settings and enabled the Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums option under the bbPress forums settings (Settings > Forums > BuddyPress section).
What’s happening:
When I navigate to a BuddyPress group admin and go to enable forums for it, I see the following (image link):

However, when I check the box and click Save Settings, nothing happens. Looking at the html for the page reveals the following:
- Gist
- screenshot
It appears that the form tag(s) are missing, so there is nothing there to POST against.
I was able to enable/disable the option by temporarily switching the theme to the BuddyPress default theme and saving the setting that way. It does not appear to work from client’s normal theme, however.
Doing some digging, the edit_screen() function found in bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php seems to generate the checkbox and text for enabling/disabling a group forum, while the form element that should be there looks like it’s from the groups/single/admin.php template file.
Does anyone have any insight into why the form element wouldn’t be loaded into this group admin page?
Version information:
WordPress version: 3.5.1
bbPress version: 2.2.4
BuddyPress version: 1.6.4
Genesis Connect for BuddyPress version: 1.2
bbPress Genesis Extend version: 0.8.4
Genesis version: 1.9.1
Genesis Child Theme: Blissful version 1.0

Hi,
Our groups page is not listing anything past page 1, have had a look but can’t seem to find any settings that may be affecting it? Would anyone have any idea how, where or why this is happening? Just updated to latest version of Buddypress so know it’s not that, and all the groups are visible when logged in as admin.

Hi there.
I’m using the latest plugin version of bbPress, WP 3.5.1, and BuddyPress 1.6.4 and I have a question for you:
Does the code I found here still work, as that was posted almost one and a half years ago?
Plus if it does work, how do I modify it to show only certain forums (cause I’m using the Membership plugin from WPMU DEV to control access to a few which are for premium members only)?
Thanks in advance for the help,
Nathan P.

For each week, I’ll have posts title like this in a forum:
Monday Morning
Monday Evening
Tuesday Morning
Tuesday Evening
Wednesday ”
Wednesday ”
Thursday ”
Thursday ”
Friday ”
Friday ”
I want to hide/archive/move these out of the forum each week, as the next week will have posts with the same name. Within Vanilla Forum’s, I could just archive posts that were _TIME_ old. What’s the easiest way to do that within bbPress? I’ll be needing to do this each week, for all the forums on my site (just a few now, but more each week).
If there’s a better workflow for this, let me know!

I’m trying to create forums for multiple groups within multiple organizations, but I’m having what seems like a weird problem. Basically when I click on the Parent forum (which is a category), it doesn’t list child forums at all.
So I have:
Organization_x (type: category, status: open, visibility: private)
– Forum_1 (type: forum, status: open, visibility: private)
– Forum_2 (type: forum, status: open, visibility: private)
– Forum_3 (type: forum, status: open, visibility: private)
Organization_y (type: category, status: open, visibility: private)
– Forum_1 (type: forum, status: open, visibility: private)
– Forum_2 (type: forum, status: open, visibility: private)
– Forum_3 (type: forum, status: open, visibility: private)
When I got to mysite.com/forums. I see Org_x and Org_y listed, but when I click on them, I don’t see any of the subforums listed, even though I’ve populated them with posts.
I can access the individual forums from the main /forums page by clicking on the forum names listed under the Orx_yx title, but why not from within the Org_xy page?
Sorry if I’m missing something simple here.

bbpress version 2.2.4
website http://www.michaellanfield.com
forum page http://www.michaellanfield.com/?post_type=forum
Just a question
As I am doing now, I would like the categories to appear in the main forum page under each main forum. How to do this?
Another question is. The forum fonts are way too small. How do I make them a little larger?
Also I want to be able to delete the forums main title right above actual forum. Not the menu forum link, just the page title, but I do not want to remove all website page titles. Thank you.

I just created a site and installed bbpress forums along with contact form 7 and contact form db. After a user registers for the forums, it sends them an email with their passwords. The only problem is that they can’t change their passwords after that as they cannot access their profile pages. Is there a way for me to implement a “profile” option as a page and then install it in top menu?

Hello everyone,
I would like to require tags for topics and replies. I managed to find some help.
Here is the code which you can have in your functions.php file.
/*
@ Require tags for posting topics, replies
*/
add_action( 'bbp_new_topic_pre_extras', 'check_front_end_tags_wpse_82956' );
add_action( 'bbp_new_reply_pre_extras', 'check_front_end_tags_wpse_82956' );
function check_front_end_tags_wpse_82956(){
if( empty( $_POST['bbp_topic_tags'] ) )
{
// WORKAROUND FOR LINKS WITH HASH TAG, e.g., topic/lorem-ipsum#post-91
// Necessary when posting multiple replies that generate hashed links
// OTHERWISE A SIMPLE href="javascript:history.go(-1) WOULD WORK
?>
function goBack() {
if (window.history && history.pushState) {
history.replaceState("", "", "?no-tags=true);
history.go(-1);
}
}
<?php
wp_die( '<a href="history.go(-1)" rel="nofollow">' . __( '« « Please type at least one tag' ) . '</a>' );
}
}
But I would like to use AJAX and a modal dialog for displaying the requirements when someone creates a topic or replies and forgets to type in a tag.
How can I do this, can someone give me guidance here?
regards

Hello,
i hope you can help me!
I installed WordPress 3.5.1 and added Budypress to my plugins and i activated it and installed it. After some seconds my Adminmnenu had a 500 Error.

I just upgraded to wp 3.5.1 and the new bbpress in one go.. unfortunately, none of the user pages or user edit profile pages work at all… blank white screen, no 404, server error… eek! My website is http://www.humandalas.com/forum/
If I can’t get it working, which php file can I edit or how to create a hook? so the “bbp-topic-freshness-author” links go to an author page instead.
