Just to clarify. I am talking about plugin for buddypress to communicate with bbpress. And by saying forum is visible I mean forum created with this plugin on bbpress side is visible (but should inherit settings from group).
bbPress does not have any native ways to hide forums that should be hidden. You can do as I have done – installing a “blank” theme that redirects users to your main site, limiting users to use the built-in group forums functionality only – or you could install a bbPress plugin that hides forums from those that are not allowed to view them. There is such a plugin, intended specifically for buddypress users, but I can’t remember what it is called.
yes, I’ve got this plugin (bpGroups), it works fine but it has this one bug and I don’t know how to fix this damn thing.
Basicaly, when you are creating a new group there is a checkbox to create a forum on bb site too. Below are 3 group options: public, private, hidden.
Now, the script creates forum (default is public), then it changes settings for a group (private or hidden), and it should do this at a first place so it could inherit proper group settings when creating a forum. Do you know what I mean? I just want to swap the order somewhere inside the code to make it working. It should first update group settings, then create a forum. That way it would work properly.
I googled about this etc, looks like nobody’s aware of this bug cos I couldn’t find any answers and nobody even point this anywhere.
ok, I’ve got temporary solution.
File: wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups.php
Line 1481: yous should have (inside function groups_create_group() / case 2:)
after:
do_action( ‘groups_create_group_step2_save’ );
I’ve added this line:
oci_bb_group_updated($group_obj->id);
So it works, but i had to modify this file which I am not happy with. I guess there is another way of doing this properly. If anyone will find better solution, could you please let me know too?
I experienced a similar problem as well.
Did you edit a BuddyPress core file using a bpGroups function?
You should let Burt Adsit know of your fix, so maybe he can provide a cleaner solution using his plugin instead of editing the core:

Try adding this to line 161 of /wp-content/mu-plugins/oci_bp_group_forums.php
add_action( 'groups_create_group_step2_save', 'oci_bb_group_updated', 10, 1 );
See if that does the same thing.
I have tried that too. It doesn’t work that’s why I’ve edited the core. Also, I sent PM to Burt with link to this post few days ago.
I haven’t updated bpgroup to be compatible with trunk bp yet. There’s a trac ticket by me whining about the lack of wp actions on group creation with the new group creation stuff.
