Bug with buddypress hidden group when bbpress activated

[tskpbls]

Hi there,

I am here to report the following issue :

On a multisite install with wp 5.4.1, with buddypress (6.0.0) & bbpress (2.6.4), setting up a forum for a group that is supposed to be hidden makes this group not accessible to admin or group creator. (Myself, as a super-admin/group creator/group admin cant reach my hidden group when bbpress is activated.)

This occurs only when bbpress is activated multisite or single subsite and a buddypress group (buddypress installed network wide) is set to hidden. It seems to work ok with group set as private, or public.

This is a bug, replicated by a bp support forum member.

Details and screenshots on this buddypress support forum : ​https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bug-with-buddypress-hidden-group-when-bbpress-activated/

Thanks !

Hi there! It is likely this will require a fix on the bbPress side of things, but I will make sure it gets tracked and fixed either way.

Sorry for the problem. Thank you for reporting it! 🙌

Let's try to fix this during 8.0.0 dev cycle.

Hi @tskpbls

Sorry for my late reply, I've just tested with:

• WordPress 5.7.1
• BuddyPress 8.0.0-beta1
• bbPress 2.7.0-alpha (used the master branch of this ​GitHub repository).

BuddyPress and bbPress are network activated. I wasn't able to replicate your issue. As a super-admin or regular member, I can create, access hidden groups even if they have a bbPress forum.

Maybe this was fixed in bbPress?

Can anyone confirm or help me to reproduce the issue?

Without more details from the reporter, I'm closing the ticket. Don't hesitate to reopen it if needed.

Hi @imath.

For me this bug is still happening.
That is hidden groups are not show on frontend.
In wp-admin hidden groups are show and accessible.

WordPress 5.7.2 multisite
BuddyPress 7.3.0 network activated
bbPress 2.6.6 on main site activated

I deactivated all plugins expect , buddypress, bbPress and BP xProfile WordPress User Sync.
but the bug remains.

Thanks for your feedback, I understood bbPress was activated on the network. I'll test again with bbPress activated on the main site.

Hidden groups do not appear in directory listings.

Replying to johnjamesjacoby:

Hidden groups do not appear in directory listings.

Yes, only on the frontend, the count of the number is right. hideen groups are counted
