Most theme developers won’t help when the issue is caused by a plugin, but I’ll give it a try. If anyone else has any ideas, please weigh in just in case.
I’ve disabled all plugins and re-enabled them one at a time to figure out which is the culprit. Buddypress itself isn’t causing the issue. It only happens when ‘Buddypress Template Pack’ is enabled.
Thanks for the reply modemlooper. That got us halfway there. There is now a very small popup when you mouse over the thumbnail, but still not the nice styled box that should be there (which you can view in the demo theme).
“This is a private group
* Only users who request membership and are accepted can join the group. * This group will be listed in the groups directory and in search results.
* Group content and activity will only be visible to members of the group.”
My issue is with point 1 and 2. The groups are NOT showing up in the groups directory… therefore, no one could even request to join them.
