Groups I Didn't Create Appear After Latest Update

I didn’t understand about the user having to log in before forum roles are assigned. Thanks for clairifying that to me.

I signed in. The user has been assigned the forum role of participant now.

However no group was assigned. User can not see any of the forums as all forums require some level of group access.

There is also an addition group in the Users -> Edit User page called “Groupate_new_group 1” which I did not create. Maybe that means something to you.

ok, I think I have fixed.

Can you go to the following and follow the instructions

https://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbp-private-groups-2-5-7-beta/

Then go to settings>bbp private groups>assign groups to roles and tick the login box.

Then test with user that if they have no group asset they get one on login.

I have done it with a setting, as I do not like to change the default on how something works as many will already be using it.

There is also an addition group in the Users -> Edit User page called “Groupate_new_group 1” which I did not create. Maybe that means something to you.

Nope, sorry – where exactly is this showing?

I will test the beta and get back to you soonish.

Regarding the new group.

In WordPress go to Users, select a user to edit, on the edit page for a user scroll all the way to the bottom. I see this right above the “update user” button.

Forums

Private Groups

Group1 Students Click to add this group

Group2 Graduates Click to add this group

Group3 Employers Click to add this group

Group4 bbpAdmin Click to add this group

Groupate_new_group 1 Click to add this group

I got this message when activating the beta.

“The plugin generated 4 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.”

Plugin is active. I will test and report back.

the “add group on login” box is checked. All setting appear normal.

I created a new user, logged in. Still no groups set.

The ‘forum role’ did get set to participant, but none of the private groups were set.

hmm, ok 3 things to look at

1. not at all sure how you got such a new group, can you go into settings>bbp private groups>group name settings, and just delete the content from no. 5, you’ll still see it in the lists as group5, but the funny wording should go.

2. the spare characters will disappear in the next version, it’s just spaces at the end of files, which I’ll remove.

3. I really don’t understand why it is not working, but I don’t have s2member, and I’m loathe to get into cracking open it’s code to see how it works.

My plugin hooks to standard wordpress login functionality – how are you logging in? – is there some s2 function you are using, and if you use /wp-login does it work?

1. There is no wording for Group5 in the ‘group name settings’.

2. Got it.

3. s2member is annoyingish….

There is a login widget which I’ve been using sometimes. I created a new user and made sure to login via /wp-login. Still the same result.

forum role of participant is assigned.

but no group is assigned. for this user level Group1 should have been assigned.

Just to see what happens I also unchecked the “add group on login” box.

Created a new user, logged in via /wp-login.

Still no group assigned.

If it works for you and not for me it’s almost gotta be something related to s2member it seems….

Is it possible something is corrupted in my database? Should I just delete the plugin and all it’s data and start over from scratch?

I’m not excited about doing that, but if that will help solve the problem then I gotta do what I gotta do.

not yet…!

Did you buy the premium version of s2member?

I do have the premium version of s2member.

ok, if you were only using the free version I’d have uploaded it.

Ok so we have got

1.Issue with my plugin and wordpress – works on my site but not on yours, so plugins, themes or database?

2. database corruption – since you see the other items ok, unlikely but not rule out

3. another plugin affecting – what other plugins are you running?

3. Issue with s2member and logon and registration – ie s2member doesn’t use these hooks, but even with wp-login it doesn’t work, is s2member overriding this with a filter?

Suggest we eliminate s2member next.

If you feel comfortable can you deactivate s2member – deactivation shouldn’t delete any data so should be safe. Then try a new user and wp-login and see if you still have the issue.

then come back

Okay. I did some testing.

Created a new member with s2member active, then disabled s2member, logged in, no role assigned.

Disabled 2smember, registered a user and then log in – no role is assigned.

I then went to the ‘assign groups to roles’ tab and assigned a role to the subscriber level.

Registered a new user, logged in, still no role assigned. s2member was turned off the whole time.

Next test, I deactivated all plugins except this one and bbpress. Created a new user, logged in. Still no group assigned.

I have a WordPress site I use for testing things that has s2Member on it. Would it help if I gave you access to that so you could look at that plugin?

probably not – I’m losing faith in my own sanity !

Let me have another look at my own code and retest on my site so that I am 100% sure that my code works.

Going back to your very original post – did you ever have this working – ie it did assign groups for roles on registration, or was it because it wasn’t working that you found the original bug?

I’m doubting my sanity as well.

I can not say for certain that it was ever assigning groups to new users.

When I tested this the first time around I had the forums and users already established. I used your plugin to assign access to forums, then assigned groups to existing users and tested that. All that was working.

But as for assigning a group to a new user on registration, I can’t say for sure that ever did work for me.

My original question was all about the mysterious Group5. Until we starting working together on testing this I never tried registering a new user, then logging in, then checking to see if groups were assigned.

ok, my code works on my test site.

Think access to test site is the next step. Can you send me access via my website
