IdeaStream Category Counts in BuddyPress Groups (Public, Private, Hidden)

    Hi – First off, the IdeaStream (IS) plugin + implementation = FANTASTIC! Many thx/merci for making + sharing this.

    My Q: I noticed than when I use IdeaStream w/in Public BuddyPress (BP) Groups, any IS category counts are always 100% accurate – in the backend Idea Categories area OR in the Categories Widget of IS. HOWEVER, if I us IS in a Private OR Hidden BP Group, the IS Category counts goto “0” in the Backend & the Category Widget simply shifts to say “no categories”.

    It’s possible that my understanding of how IS works with Private OR Hidden BP Groups is not quite accurate, or perhaps this is a counting-bug in IS when a BP Group is set to Privater or Hidden. I would have though that the numbers of ideas in a given category would still be counted in private or hidden groups, but I could be wrong in my logic/thinking.

    As a comparison, the “Highest Rated Ideas” counts are 100% accurate (in the widget) across Public, Private or Hidden BP Groups.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your interest about this plugin ??

    Here’s what’s happening when an idea is posted in a private or an hidden BuddyPress group, its status is private. I’m not sure i do anything with the category count, i mainly rely on what’s done natively by WordPress i think.

    Try to post a regular private post in a category and you should see that WordPress doesn’t update the count for this category ??
