Hi, we have a website and forum run by Wordpress. It was set up by a former volunteer who no longer volunteers. I fundraise for the charity and for my sins, took over updating the website, but I know very little and I'm stuck. 
We have a problem with our forum in that we have lost all our uploaded photos/documents on Buddydrive and Buddydrive also won't help. We also cannot go past the first page on all of our groups. 
It's a disaster as this is how we run/catalogue the information for the admin of our dog rescue & rehoming charity. At the moment we can't use it yet we're paying for it. It's hopeless.

Hi Joanne 
I sympathise with your frustrating situation. Try the following:
WordPress Forums: The official WordPress forums can be a great resource for troubleshooting issues. There's a dedicated forum for plugins https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ where you can explain your situation and see if other users have encountered similar problems with Buddydrive or can recommend alternative plugins.
Finding a WordPress Developer https://www.upwork.com/freelance-jobs/wordpress/
Log in to your WordPress admin panel and navigate to Media ; Library. See if your files are there.
Unfortunately, Buddydrive is no longer actively supported. You can search for alternative forum plugins in the WordPress plugin directory. Popular options include bbPress https://bbpress.org/ and wpForo [https://wpforo.com/]. These plugins offer similar functionalities to Buddydrive and may even allow you to import some of your existing forum data.
 
Warm regards

I can't help with your specific question, but I have also taken over responsibility for our website and have just booked to do an online WP course with Udemy:

Hi Joanne, I'd be happy to help see if I can fix this for you, I've done work with BuddyPress in the past. Feel free to DM me!
