Hi there, many thanks for the feedback on the plugin. Indeed, that’s a very typical use case given that it supports any custom post type.

Hi there! Many thanks for your feedback, love to hear that you like Groups and that’s a great start into the week ??

Hi, your question seems to be related to the premium extension, not the Search Live plugin. Please use https://woocommerce.com/my-account/contact-support/ to submit a support request.

Anyhow, I’ve had a look at the screenshot and compared results with the extension disabled, couldn’t see a difference – it would be useful if you could provide more details when you submit that support request.

Closing this one here as posting about commercial products in the forums here goes against the forum guidelines https://www.ads-software.com/support/guidelines/#do-not-post-about-commercial-products

Marking as resolved but do feel free to share any ideas on requirements …

Hi Axel,

Thank you for the question! This use case is gaining popularity which is great to see, but currently it’s not possible to do this with the existing user interface in Groups. We need to enhance parts of the access control model in Groups to be able to cover these things. On the other hand, it could be done with the existing structures but would require custom coding on your part. If that’s something you’d like to do, you could base it on the existing Groups API and implement more detailed access controls for the groups as needed.

Great feature to have ready in the UI in the future without the need to custom code it.

Great to hear, many thanks for your feedback!

Hi Davidson, thank you very much for your kind feedback on the plugin!

Hi Susanne,

You could use the groups_admin_menu action to remove the submenu page for those who shouldn’t see it.

function sduckhorn_groups_admin_menu() {
    $allowed = ... ; // @todo evaluate if user is allowed to access the capabilities menu 
    if ( !$allowed ) {
        remove_submenu_page( 'groups-admin', 'groups-admin-capabilities' );
    }
}
add_action( 'groups_admin_menu', 'sduckhorn_groups_admin_menu' );

You would best deploy this as a plugin.

Thanks for suggesting this as a feature, taking note for a possible future enhancement. Right now the capabilities admin page requires the GROUPS_ADMINISTER_GROUPS capability which is the same as required to access and the groups section, otherwise I would have suggested creating a group with corresponding capabilities.

Marking as resolved, if you need further help please provide information on:

• what steps you took
• outcome
• how it differed from what you expected

Thank you very much for the follow-up, yes that explains it ??

Great that it’s working for you and if you have any suggestions or questions, just let us know. I’ll mark this one as resolved.

BTW if you can spare a minute, feedback on the plugin is always welcome https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/groups/reviews/#new-post

Many thanks for using it!

Sounds great! Thank you very much for the feedback!

Have you created this integration as a custom piece or is this available in general for the community? Feel free to share a link to it if it is. Also if you have any suggestion as how we could facilitate this kind of interaction, please feel welcome to share your thoughts and ideas.

Hi,

In your WP_Query make sure that suppress_filters is false (which it is by default so if you don’t pass that parameter it would be ok, using true however would prevent Groups from applying the restrictions).

In most cases, you probably wouldn’t need to use groups_filter_the_posts because it hooks into the posts_where filter to apply restrictions. However, if you still need it, you can enable it using the predefined __return_true() WordPress function with the filter:

add_filter( 'groups_filter_the_posts', '__return_true' );

But you should make sure that this only applies when it is really needed, to avoid any processing overhead it would create otherwise.

Cheers

@alexl75 Using the latest release and from tests this seems to be resolved so I’m marking this thread accordingly. But should the issue still persist on your side, please let me know.

Hi,

Groups uses data structures that go beyond user metadata to determine the group memberships of a site’s users. The plugin you mention states:

It will add users with basic information as well as meta fields and user role

But it does not seem to support the additional data that Groups uses. If you would like to have a solution based on that import plugin, you might want to reach out to its developers to see if they would be able to add support for Groups.

As an alternative and what would be the recommended way to import users with support for Groups, you could use the official Groups Import Export premium extension.

Thanks for the screenshots, you have disabled WP Engine’s Object cache, but the Page cache might still be involved in this. It would be advisable to have WP Engine’s support exclude the pages with issues from caching – see the section Custom Cache Exclusions documented on https://wpengine.com/support/cache/

By the way, the redirect is done through Groups 404 Redirect as you show in the screenshot, it’s not done by the Groups plugin itself, but by that extension.
