That’s actually a clever solution to address this issue. The difference with me is that my customer needs a few specific groups to be restricted to only let himself post in it. But since only administrators like my customer needs to post I can target only the administrator role to view the post-an-update form, and hide them for every other user role. I can code something to make this only happen on the groups I want it to.
Thanks for activating the bulb inside my brain haha, I really appreciate this solution. Well done!!
Just registered my first WordPress.org account since over hundreds of sites I’ve built in the past, hehe. I’m facing exact the same issue as you have. I seriously thought that BuddyPress would support features like this. In the wp-admin > Groups > Single Group, there’s even an option that says: ‘Who can invite others to this group?’, WHY is this option available but not ‘Which usertype can post to this group? e.g. Administrators, Moderators, Subscribers etc.’.
Is there a plugin that anyone in this community is aware of which handles above feature? I really need a feature to assign posting permissions to users or userlevels…
