Forum association lost when changing group email settings

[htrev]

Hi there

When I change the default email settings for a group (in Admin/Settings) from any value to any other (e.g. All email to New topics only), the group loses its forum association. If I go into Dashboard/Groups/<groupname>/Edit, the “Yes, I want this group to have a forum” is unchecked and I have to check it again and save to reassociate the group and the forum.

I’m using latest plugin version 3.3.3 and using the bbPress forums.

Any help gratefully recieved!

Can you disable GES and then try and resave the group settings page and see if your forum is lost?

If this happens without GES, then this is a bbPress problem.

Group settings save OK with the GES plugin disabled.

Seems to be something to do with GES as the dissociation happens when I change the email settings for the group.

So:
Dashboard/View groups/Edit a group – “Yes. I want this group to have a forum.” is ticked
Visit site/Groups/View group/Admin/Settings/Change email settings for the group/Save.
Go back to Dashboard/View groups/Edit a group – “Yes. I want this group to have a forum.” is now ticked. Also, if I go to the group and click the Forum tab, I get a 404.

Just checked. I disabled GES and went to a group’s “Admin > Settings” tab. I clicked on “Save” and this removed the “Forum” tab afterwards.

This appears to be either a BuddyPress or bbPress problem and not the GES plugin.

Looking further into it.

Confirmed to be a bbPress bug.

Thanks r-a-y. Amazing. I applied the patch and it’s working fine. Props for the speedy response!
