Hi,

I have created a group and want to add user to it automatically whenever the admin create the new user from WordPress user dashboard. I am using the following code snippet –

function automatic_group_membership_bp($user_id)
{
    //if no user id return
    if (!$user_id) {
        return false;
    }

    // 1 is the group id
    $group_id = 1;
    //Get user meta to find the role
    $user_meta = get_userdata($user_id);
    $user_roles = $user_meta->roles;
    //only add user to group if it subscriber
    if (in_array("subscriber", $user_roles)) {
        $update_bp_user_last_activity = bp_update_user_last_activity($user_id, date("Y-m-d H:i:s"));
        //Buddypress hook to add member to a group
        $status = groups_join_group($user_id, $group_id);
    }

}

add_action('user_register', 'automatic_group_membership_bp', 10, 3);

I am adding a user with role subscriber to group. $status returns 1 that means the user is getting added to the group. I can even see the user in http://siteurl/members list. But I cannot see the user in a group. I am not sure what I am missing here, can you please help me out.
