Create Group - Description disappearing

[mgibbs189]

When creating a new group, the "Description" value disappears after saving Step 2 (Privacy Options).

I believe it stems from line 112 of bp-groups/bp-groups-actions.php

The groups_create_group() function is triggered and, since the description value isn't passed in, the value gets reset to <empty string>.

Hi mgibbs189, this is already addressed in #5576, which will be released when v2.0.1 drops.

r-a-y beat me to it :) Thanks very much for the report, mgibbs189!

Damn, I just finished a patch for it too :P

Thanks guys!

Hi mgibbs189, would you please let me know what the patch was / is????

I have to go back an re-add the description. Not good for the users who create groups.

All help much appreciated!!!!

chopper72 - This issue is resolved in BP itself, so please, no need to reopen this ticket. You can find the code used to fix the issue in ​https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5576 and r8317.

Thanks for the quick reply, but how do I implement the fix?

[boonebgorges]

If looking at r8317 isn't clear enough, then I'd suggest waiting for 2.0.1, which will be released in the upcoming days.
