groups no longer visible [Solved] | Forum

Hi,


With one account ("A") I suddenly don't see anymore the groups where I am a member, not even the group that I created with that account!


With other accounts I do see the groups! And with the other accounts I even see that "A" is a member of these groups...


What can I do? Can I also change the group owner (via myPHPadmin)?

But most important is that "A" get his groups "back", especially the one which "A" created and owns.

Have you changed anything privacy settings? What do you set for groups?

As group owner I had changed the group, making it only possible to join upon invitation. Since then I don't see any of my groups, not even the one I own.


Now connected as owner of another group I deleted that member "A" from the group and sent a new invitation. As "A" I accepted the invitation - but still don't see that group, neither in the widget nor in my profile. So that didn't help.


It's like I am no member in any group, though if I look at the groups with other profiles I see "A" as member and even owner...


I didn't change any privacy settings, but will check them...

The privacy settings are alright! Everybody can see my groups (according to the settings) - except myself. It must be some error in the tables. If you can tell me where to check, I can change it via myPHPadmin.

In the newsfeed I can see that "A" joined the group... But "A" himself doesn't see the group at all

Wow, something interesting: when I click on "Groups" in the main menu i see NO group.

If I then click on the button "My Groups" I see the groups where I belong to, also the group where I am owner.


But they are NOT shown on my profile or in the group widget...


Strange...

Martin, I will need admin details and Cpanel access details to check the issue. Also, I'd like you to know that I will probably disable third-party plugins and switch to the default theme, if that's ok with you please send the details

i can see the group you created only as Admin, not with my other profile.

Martin, you have set who can view by my invitation only, which is why the group is private, and it will appear in the listings of my group section only

yes, but should it not be visible also on my profile when I look at my own profile?
Martin Philipps
Martin Philipps Jul 23 '14

well, what I wanted is tat the group is VISIBLE, but can only be joined upon invitation....


Martin Philipps
Martin Philipps Jul 23 '14

but there should be then a third option:


1. who can view

2. who can invite

3. WHO CAN JOIN


What I want is that the group is visible, but can be joined only upon invitation (no matter if by members or group owner). But it looks like that is not possible right now...


...by the way, I don't see how to mark this topic as solved or how to close it...

What you want is custom code modification. I'll do that for you.
