discrepancy between Members and Groups Directories

[shanebp]

Using BP 2.5.2

Trying to add a custom tab and load a custom template on both the Members and Groups Directories.

1. Groups Directory - Works as expected

2. Members Directory

Does not work as expected.

The same approach is used for both Item 1 and Item 2 - with different results.

In Item 1 - conditionals like bp_is_groups_component() return true
But in Item 2 - conditionals like bp_is_members_component() return false

The custom Members template can be loaded by resorting to url parsing - see Gist - but this error is thrown:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in .../wp-includes/query.php on line 4520

What is the cause of this discrepancy between Groups and Members Directories?

If not a bug - What is the solution?

@shanebp I think you might have already, but opening this on the support forum then asking us in Slack is probably the best way to get help. You know we don't use Trac for support. :)
