Reply To: How to 'hide' group creation steps ?
@danbp Thank you for such a long reply comment.
1)
Register process doesn’t include group creation, nore joigning a group, so i guess you are thinking about a problem that doesn’t exist at this stage.
I would not think this easily that i ask for something that does not exist at this stage. I must have put ” join a community ” in a different sound phrase but i meant creating a group and be a part of community.
2)
If you allow your users to create groups, they have to follow the 3 creation steps, because it is intended so in BuddyPress. Thinking that this might be to complicated, implies that you think that your users are not able to do this. Mabe you’re right, but maybe not.
About this i have worked with other plugins to tell more about groups, media ability and add location etc. So i now have 7 steps in a group creation. This is the main reason why i am requesting for this topic.

As @bphelp said with reason, what your question implies needs some extra coding and much more as a simple snippet. You can do many things with BuddyPress, but not everithing or anything. 😉
Second:
Core simplification is a hard work (see Trac), so don’t expect that your goal could be reached easily, as BP will never be a “one click” tool. IMO this plugin is already very easy to use as is.
I am sorry if i have put words sound as though you guys’ work is a simple and does not require a lot of effort 🙁 I really appreciate the usage of WP and buddypress that push this community ability feature to WP.
This was simply just a request if there is such a method that already exists.
I guess not so far.
@danbp Thank you for the comment again, i will try to find if there is a way with discussing other communities as well.
