Hi,

I have been running a series of tests as I install things on BP and have noticed that when I have created a test group and then deleted it, the count remains the same. Is there a way to fix this.

For example, I have 7 actual groups, but it is showing 14 in the count:

None of my groups are private or hidden.

Thanks for any assistance you can give

I have the same problem – did you find any resolution?

I’m also finding that deleting a group does not delete its forum from the wp_bb_forums database table

Works for me ok on BP 1.2.6 (i.e. BP 1.2 branch). What versions of BP and WP are you using please?

[James Smith]

running on WP 3.0.0 and BP 1.2.5.2. Only unusual thing is that I’m using a proxy for external http connections. Any idea how I can troubleshoot? (The debug mode is not much help because of this other problem: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/installed-and-activated-buddypress-wall-of-warnings/)

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

Are you sure the group records are being deleted from the database?

[rich! @ etiviti]

running any cache plugins?

groups_get_total_group_count() is wp_cache and is removed on the action groups_group_deleted

as for deleting a group and the associated bbPress table – correct, currently BuddyPress does not remove it from the bb_forums table (or even removing other data – topics, etc – https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2613 )

[James Smith]

not running any caching yet, no.

I’ve narrowed down the problem however – it actually seems to be caused by deleting the wp USER who created the group. Doing that removes the user’s group(s) from the listings page, but doesn’t remove them from wp_bp_groups (and therefore the count is also incorrect).

thanks for clarifying on the bb forum thing.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

I’ve just put a patch on that ticket for the “bb forum thing” so hopefully that will make BP 1.2.6. You’ll have to manually clean up any orphan forums.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

We have a winner!

EDIT: patch attached

[James Smith]

Thanks all for the speedy patches. As JJJ points out, the first one will be tricky to get ‘right’… needs the option to reassign groups to a given user instead of deleting.

[rich! @ etiviti]

maybe interim solution – autoassign a group admin at group creation (sample code, just need to have a account setup and replace the user_id. ie, in my case i use a dummy groupadmin user for all groups)
http://etivite.com/groups/buddypress/forum/topic/quick-tip-auto-assign-member-as-group-mod-or-admin-to-new-groups/#topic

though, i don’t know if that fixes the original issue with a legacy creator_id (then again, i don’t see any big references to that col – besides logging)

experiencing the same problem with the wrong group count at the group directory page. I have 1 group but it says 5 total and my groups is 3. I’ve installed BP-group management and it also just finds 1 group.

I tried to switch to the patch files from https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2614 but it only lead to the group count goin down to zero and I was unable to create any new groups. BP-group management then also found no groups. When I went back to the original files I was back to the same problem. 1 actual group, says 5 & 3.

So I don’t know if I could have done the patching wrong or if this is something that isn’t solveable.

Is it possible to enter the mysql database and remove the groups from there, to manually update the group count?

[Joel Baudin]

Does anyone have a clue how to fix this?

[rich! @ etiviti]

have you tried updating to 1.2.6 now?

[Joel Baudin]

Yepp I’ve updated and the count for groups is still off by much
