I wanted to show list of all groups in the sidebar of the Profile page but the list was being filtered, returning only groups that this user is a member of.

I fixed it by adding the following parameter:

`bp_has_groups( ‘user_id=false’ )`

The codex states that user_id is false by default but I had to set. Is the codex incorrect?

I’m still using BP 1.2.9 so perhaps the codex is correct for 1.5?

Anyway, I hope this helps someone.

It’s false when on the directory page but when on a profile it will return the displayed users groups
