BuddyBoss

[Bill]

I am using Buddyboss 4.2.0 and would like to have Groups and bbPress Forums. However, I have been unable to get it to work. First, I can’t even install bbPress without turning off the Groups at Settings>Buddypress>Components. If I have the Groups Component check, the admin panel crashes when I activate bbPress.

With the Groups Component deactivated, I installed bbPress and followed the advice at bbPress under: Using bbPress Forums with BuddyPress Group Forums

It is possible and quite powerful to use both bbPress sitewide forums as well as BuddyPress Group Forums. A few caveats apply in order to ensure an easy setup:

1. After installing and activating bbPress, please go to your admin dashboard under “Pages/All Pages” and find any page using the slug of “forums”.

2. If such a page slug exists, as would be normally be the case if you first installed BuddyPress, it is recommended that you delete this page so as to free-up the use of the “forums” slug for bbPress.

3. Be sure that you also empty the trash of this “forums” page to free-up the slug.

4. You can then create a new page slug for BuddyPress Group Forums, using a different name. Eg: “Group Forums”.

5. After creating a new page (Eg: “Group Forums”), go into Settings/BuddyPress/Pages and choose this new page to act as the placeholder for BuddyPress Group Forums

6. Finally, go to Settings/Permalinks and click “Save” to ensure that you update your permalink structure

All was going well until I got to Step 6 and when I saved it crashed the wp-admin. I have spent two days attempting to fix the problem to no avail.

I have to turn off User Groups in Buddypress to get bbpress to load. When I turn on the User Groups and set the Group Forums at Settings/BuddyPress/Pages it crashes. Then I have to FTP Delete the bbpress and change the settings back in order to reload bbpress and take another run at it. Something is wrong.

I am using bbpress 2.5.7, BuddyPress 2.2.3.1, with the BuddyBoss Theme 4.2.0 with the Child Theme activated and WordPress 4.2.2. All other plugins are deactivated.

Any suggestions?

@billhood I’m afraid this is not a theme issue. I suggest you try BuddyPress support forums.

FYI – while you may assume that it is not a theme issue. I have 3 other Buddypress sites with different themes, and do not have the problem.

Hello @billhood , i had followed your steps to recreate issue but i am able to recreate it, it might be some your site specific issue, or might be some plugin creating some conflict, try to play with it via deactivating other plugins and if does not solve the issue, PM your site login details i will check them on your site.
