I have installed the BuddyPress plugin and as a user can't seem to be able to create a Group. If I go to mydomain.com/members/my-username/groups/ I don't see a link to Create Groups. But if I hand-type the Create at the end of this link: mydomain.com/members/my-username/groups/create it displays it. I think something is missing in the core perhaps. I looked for some answers here but I could not find anything that addresses this issue.

Go to .../wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-settings. Is this option selected? 

Enable group creation for all users

If it is, then try switching to a WP theme like 2013. If the button appears, then the issue is in your theme.

edit: BuddyPress doesn't provide a Create link on member profile pages. mydomain.com/members/my-username/groups/

The link will be here: mydomain.com/groups/

You can add a link, but how you add it depends on exactly where you want it to appear.

  • I have that enabled already. I can't switch my WP theme as I'm locked into it due to other customization. Is there a way to correct this pragmatically? – Dave_O May 11 '15 at 23:43
  • Just switch it for a moment to confirm that the issue is in your theme. Then check the group templates in your theme. – shanebp May 12 '15 at 01:43
  • Thanks. But no, it's not the theme! – Dave_O May 12 '15 at 03:30
  • Sorry....I missed what you said above. You are right! I don't know where I got that link from...but I you mentioned, that works just as well. Thanks very much. – Dave_O May 12 '15 at 20:51
  • I don't know why it automatically links it that way. I went to Menus to update/change it, but I can't see how? any tips on that? – Dave_O May 12 '15 at 21:05

Create group solution 2017, 2017 (creating selection for group creation inside individual profile) Follow the following Navigate t0: /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/Members/single/group.php. Then add the line below after line 12 such that it becomes line 13
