Not that I recall. I’ll ask @mr-papa if he does.

absolutely… still a supported feature… to your base forum url, just add ?group=xx where xx is the group id…

so for our General Topics group, it would be https://simple-press.com/support-forum/?group=17

Hmm do you have to enable it somewhere? because when i try it it just takes me to the actual forum index where all the groups and forums are listed.

I had forgotten this one but yes –  it does work and no there is nothing to enable. if it doesn’t work for you then you probably don’t have it quite right.

Strictly speaking it should not have the slash before the question mark of course. And no slash on the very end either.

The main problem with using this is that if a user clicks on a topic and then clicks back on the forum name in the breadcrumbs it will re-load the full page again. If we needed to support that it would need some extra coding here and there

i’ve tried site/forum/?group=10 

               site/forum?group=10 <–puts slash in it anyways

all it does is reloads the main forums and doesnt take me to the group view

Bit aren’t the forums for that group what you wanted to get?

And you can try it here using the group ID quoted above…

It doesnt work on my site when i put it in like that.

whether or not you need the trailing slash is dependent on your urls… if you blog and wp settings have a trailing slash, you will need the slash as well…  or you will incur an extra redirect to the url with the trailing slash… it will work, just take longer…  even with query args, it has to follow the ‘slashing’ of your urls…

can you give us link to your site???  and are you sure you have the right group id?

ive tried the id for every group,i just get redirected to the main forum index each time

you seem to be running buddypress too (though I dont see it on the site)…  can you temp disable that plugin?  its possible that both buddypress and simple press are using the same query arg to access groups..

Yup i deactivated it along with all the wordpress plugins i use. Cleared cache and it worked until i refreshed the page so i dont think its an actual wordpress plugin although my theme does have its own plugin it uses,dunno if its conflicting with SP

EDIT: Tried different theme still doesnt work

sorry, so did it work with buddypress deactivated?  if anything was to be conflicting, it would have to use a query arg of ‘group’ as well…

does your server run mod_security?  as it could be dorking with the query args…

any caching plugins?

I have tried on my various test sites and other actual live sites, and all are working fine… so think we still have to find the local issue…

if you want, we can probably give you couple code changes to make the group query arg more specific and see if it works…

You used the term ‘it worked until i refreshed the page’. Meaning what please?

Is this what I referred to and described back in the last paragraph of post #5 ?

No caching plugins,Sure lets try the code changes to see if that works
