  • Do you mean the URLs generated by bp_get_group_permalink( $bp->groups->current_group ) don't work? I can't see any other URLs in the code at first glance. What's wrong with them? Do they look like correct BuddyPress group URLs? How do they compare to the correct URLs for those groups?

  • Where did you get this code from, who's Bing? Can you ask them for help?

  • got it from chatGPT, @rup the URLs have the correct format but once the created tab is clicked, the url accessed is producing a 404 error

  • Is there a way to maybe register the link so that WordPress recognizes it as a valid link
