There HAS to be a way! Notifying members of private group of activity IN group!

    I don’t understand why this isn’t a thing! I am looking high and low and can’t even find code snippets to make this happen! Why is there no way to notify members of a private group that there is activity going on inside the group?! The closest anyone has come is from WBCom and their groups notification plugin, but there are multiple people claiming whenever a notification comes from a private group, the link leads to a blank page and it doesn’t seem to have been fixed. I removed the plugin because I couldn’t get it to generate notifications of private group activity to members of the private group.

    I don’t want the activity public to non-members of the group, but anyone who is a member of the group should be told about activity in the group!

    EDIT: email notifications don’t count. This needs to be in-site, like most other notifications.
    Has anyone here figured this out???

    I’m back 2yrs later, trying with another build using buddypress. I thought I solved this question away from the support forums here, but don’t remember what I did at the moment. I want the members of private groups, to see private group activity in their main newsfeed. Non members should not see this activity, but members should. I don’t know if I found a code snippet or what, I need to fix this. I want an FB-like experience where you see any activity from any of your groups in your main newsfeed. If you aren’t a member of a private group, you won’t see it’s activity, but if you are a member of a private group, you will.

    Ok, it turns out that my caching plugins were doing the blocking. I was using two for two different purposes, deactivated both and suddenly private group info is showing for members of private groups, in the newsfeed.

    At least I thought they were. Removing the caching did reveal the private activity for a couple hours and now it seems to be gone again. . . not sure what’s causing view of private group activity to disappear from the main feed for members of the private group, but it’s happening.

    As expected this is because of caching only. A big limitation of page based caching, that hits to the server are captured by the caching system causing this issue.
