Versions:
WPmu 2.9.2
BP 1.2.3

Issue:
For course sites I maintain I flushed/deleted all old blogs and users. However, member counts in the Groups Widget (http://lis753.tametheweb.com/) and at the Group Page (http://lis753.tametheweb.com/groups/class-group/) still show the original number pre-flush. Any thoughts?

Additional Recommendation:
Provide a quick and easy way to clear out all or specified group content (activity/forum posts/ etc.) without deleting the group.

Group member count is stored in the wp_bp_groups_groupmeta table, if you “cleared out” your group in the database directly then of course this variable won’t update.
If, however, you’ve kicked people out the group and it hasn’t updated, then it’s a bug.

Bug it is! Will report.

Thanks

looking at the code – the total_member_count groupmeta updates when on the group’s members page (‘groups_template_group_members’, ‘groups/single/home’)

rich! –
Yep that works.

For everyone else, here’s what I did to refresh the member count:
1) Go to your groups members page at something like mysite.com/groups/my-group/members
2) Do a hard refresh

The member count will then be accurate.
