Guest users unable to use Ajax functions properly on the Groups Loop

[AntaresMHD]

Guests users can't get past the first page in the groups loop, and the pagination disappears as soon as they click the arrow or the page number below (using ?grpage=2&num=20 as a GET request works for some reason, though).

I solved this bug in a non-elegant way: the problem was the do_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_' . $_REQUEST['action'] ); on the /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php file, line 68. I commented the line and changed the call to do_action( 'wp_ajax_' . $_REQUEST['action'] );, and it all worked. Not sure if doing this entails some kind of security hole, but I was desperate and in need for a fix. If there's a way to create or deactivate this hook in an elegant way, I'm down for it.

This is working on trunk/1.7. Will someone check on a 1.6 site please?

I have the same bug on 1.6.4

I've verified that it's working fine on 1.6.x. As of BP 1.6, bp-default adds the wp_ajax_ *and* wp_ajax_nopriv_ ajax handlers. It's possible that this is an issue being caused by a custom theme that's doing it incorrectly (or using a deprecated method of handling AJAX requests).

If you can demonstrate that this is a core BP issue - reproducible on the latest BP trunk, using either bp-default or bp theme compat - please reopen with details.
