Yesterday I created a public group and allowed for forum topics in this group. I then created 4 forum topics in the group between today and yesterday. Out of nowhere this afternoon I can no longer create topics. I’m getting the error message “There was an error when creating the topic” I haven’t installed any new pulgins and I’m really hoping this is something minor that I am just missing. I’ve cleared all cookies and tried created a new user to see if the problem is happening for all my members which it is. Thank you for your help.

Hi Kiss,
this is a very generic error and there is no clear solution.
You can try some of these.
1. Go to Group->Admin->settings and disable the forum, then save and then re-enable it, does that help ?
2. If not, then visit php myadmin and look into wp_bp_groups_groupmeta and delete the records which has “forum_id” as key.
That will cause you to loose the current post. You may install attach bbpress forum to groups plugin(from our premium section) and reattach that forum back to group.(If you don’t care about the data, then you don’t need that plugin). Just visit the group again and try posting, does that solves it?

Hi Kiss,
seems likes something si messing with the forum creation on your site. nex time if the same erro happens, can you query this in php myadmin and let me have the data.
SELECT *
FROM wp_bp_groups_groupmeta
WHERE meta_key = 'forum_id'
LIMIT 0 , 30That will help to understand the reason.
