I was thinking that it might be worthwhile to build a script that tries to correct such problems, but wanted to get some feedback first. It's the sort of process that could potentially be built into the core in one of a few ways: either an automatic check that takes place when BP attempts to load a group's data/post a new item, or a button on the Forum Setup dashboard panel. It could easily be a plugin or independent script too, but I'm posting here in the chances that others have had the problem and think it might be worthwhile to have something in BP itself. Anyway, it would likely work with the following logic: If a group has forums enabled but no forum_id metadata, check to see whether there is a bbPress forum by the same name. If so, record that forum id to the group; if not, create a new forum and then record the metadata. This doesn't address whatever might be the underlying cause of the problem might be. Perhaps it has no place in core for that very reason. What do others think?",enhancement,closed,minor,,Forums,,normal,no action required,needs-patch,
